Bellissimo - Montreal, Quebec

Loved the apetizers but the chicken cacciatore and the pasta and the fried calamari had the same tomato sauce, the waitress could never told me if the sauce was home made or canned because the used it a lot, the lobster tasted weird like too fishy, fortunately didn't ... make my wife sick, the waiter forgot to serve my wife the salad ... a salad that he recomended! And he never came to apologized once we told about it to the other waitress, other than that for the appetizers i would go back. Read more

I had the daily special which was fish when I went. I really enjoyed it, and it was prepared to perfection. That being said, one of the other people in my party found it a little too lemony. Of course his personal taste and did not reflect the quality of ... the food. They were kind enough to show us there which was not open yet as we were still a little too early in the spring. We intend to go back once they’re beautiful is open. Read more

Outstanding food, well prepared and flavourful. From Apps, to Main, to Dessert - all on point. And when you look around the room, you see the people come here not just for the food, but the experience. It’s relaxed and wholesome. The service is very attentive .. full marks to ... our server, Lisa. She was engaging, and helpful with menu options. So take your time to enjoy Bellissimo, with great food, an extensive wine list, and comfy atmosphere. See you there. Read more

Some of the the reviews here are ridiculous. When you go to Bellisimo you're leaving happy. It's impossible to have a bad overall experience. I was with a group of 18 people and my guests had 100% satisfaction. Special requests and table arrangements were taken care of immediately. A ... good sign was the flawlessly clean silverware wrapped in a cloth napkin, accompanied by crystal clear wine and water glasses. I didn't notice problems at other tables either and it was Friday with all tables at MAX capacity. There was an issue with one dish that was prepared for my table but was taken extremely seriously. It was a minor issue with cooking and preparation NOT a quality issue. Despite the pizza being slightly undercooked it was still better than most places anyways. As soon as Giovanni and Malik became aware of this they took the time to apologize and refused to let me pay for that item. They even went a step further and invited me to the bar and bought rounds of drinks for us. My brothers girlfriend passed by the bar and they invited her in as well. It was a party inside my guests party! This place treated me like family and was one of my best restaurant experiences. Of course a restaurant of this class had a well dressed gentleman providing live music. The ambience and decor is perfect as I expected. It's a historical building that adds to the experience. If you had an issue here and just mentioned it to the busboy as you left the restaurant that was unfair. There is no way the owner or manager let's anyone leave unhappy. Read more

Our boss took us there for our Christmas luncheon. I had seen the establishment but never tried. The entrees of calamari and Italian sausage with peppers were delicious. All our dishes were not only eye pleasing but delicious as well. The service was excellent and the staff were friendly and very professional. Thank you ... for such a wonderful and enjoyable meal. We all agreed we would go back again. Read more
