Bello Ristorante in Québec City

A1 service and surprising food. I recommend.

Wonderfully prepared food, attentive & friendly service and lovely atmosphere. Reservations are a must. Willing to accommodate gluten free. Partner had seafood pizza and was in heaven. Host was super-friendly and very efficient. Food : 5/5

We had a great lunchtime experience yesterday at the Bello restaurant! Our server was very professional, had great interpersonal skills and knew his menu well. He was warm, served us well and despite the busyness, he took a few minutes to answer our questions and make conversation. He even had a little surprise for us at the end! The food was excellent as always. We really enjoyed it! THANKS!

The place is not up to standard.....served barely 10 minutes after ordering the dishes....a tuna tartare where it was difficult to recognize the origin (meat or fish?) A risotto made with classic rice without the creaminess of a real risotto...disappointment

Their pesto pasta was incredible

Very helpful staff, seafood risotto exquisite

The antipasto misto plate was tasty, big thumbs up to the parmesan fondue, arancini and burrata, simply wow! Nice wine list, a little overpriced but the quality is there.

I wanted to end my trip to Quebec on a high note at this restaurant, but it turned out to be the worst experience. I understand that French is primarily used in Quebec, but since we don t speak French, we placed our order in English. The staff member appeared to understand English, but unexpectedly started criticizing our pronunciation. This immediately made us uncomfortable. We also had difficulty understanding the staff member s English accent, but we didn t mention it out of courtesy. The issue started when we asked for a description of a menu item we were curious about before placing our order. We simply wanted to know more about it, and we told the staff that we weren t ready to order yet and needed a bit more time. Later, we called the staff back and ordered only a pasta and one other dish. The food arrived, and although the explanation was given in French, we didn t question it and began eating. However, when we received the bill, we were shocked. We had clearly ordered around $40 worth of food for the two of us, but the total came to $90 per person. When we asked for clarification, we were told that the items we inquired about were added as if they were actual orders. As customers who clearly didn t speak French, it would have made sense for the staff to confirm our order, but they just brought everything out. It felt like an intentional overcharge. Moreover, after the first dish arrived, it took another 45 minutes for the pasta to be served. As tourists on a tight schedule, we needed to catch our tour bus within two hours, but we had to wait almost an hour for a small pasta dish and ended up running to catch the bus. The experience was so unpleasant that it felt borderline discriminatory. I didn t want to leave a tip, but the staff handed me the payment machine with a preset 15% tip, so I was forced to pay it. This was the worst experience I had in Quebec.

They took us last minute on a Friday. Service was A1, glass of bubbles while waiting for our table, food was great. Parking is not easy but just walk around the old city is great!

Dinner more than perfect! The service is beyond excellent, the food is decadent. A must in Quebec for Italian food

great service and food!

Excellent ! No words are more representative to describe the experience we had at Bello. From the start we were warmly welcomed. The atmosphere was relaxed while remaining professional. The service was impeccable, we never had to wait for anything, for drinks or food. The little gestures made by our server, Daevon, made our experience memorable. Having received lukewarm pasta initially, we expected it to simply be reheated, but the whole thing was redone in less than ten minutes and the meal was delicious. The wine suggested by our server was perfect to pair with the meal. The music, the cleanliness, the professionalism, are also elements that were positive about our visit. Thanks once again to Daevon, who met our expectations for this restaurant.

Tourist trap

Catastrophic service We had an on-time reservation, but had to wait 40 minutes in the lobby before we could be seated. We waited another 30 minutes before ordering and then ANOTHER 30 minutes before receiving our food. At the end of the meal, we were heavily criticized for not leaving a tip. The waitress (Fiona) insisted that it was obligatory in Quebec and that even if we had not appreciated the service we had to tip. This kind of pressure is completely UNACCEPTABLE. We always tip at restaurants, but given the general attitude, the long wait, the hubbub and the exorbitant prices of the meals it ruined the whole experience.

Absolutely superb meal, wonderful, delicious food.

This restaurant is a pretty penny for what your getting but I enjoyed every moment and bite. There were multiple gentlemen who attended my table. Delicious food , drink and dessert. I only speak English and was spoken to in English which was helpful. I had asked for ranch with my pizza and although this is more of an American thing (they didnt carry it) they made me some in the back and brought it out. It was delicious. Every person was so kind and helpful. This was a early birthday dinner for myself and I was very satisfied. The waiters (all the workers) were so kind and attentive not only to me but to everyone at the restaurant. I hope I can come back again one day :)

Everything at Bello was delicious and the service was friendly, fast and attentive. From the fresh pasta to the wood fired pizzas My friends and I enjoyed our visit so much we went the second night we were in Quebec City as well. Vegetarian options: Our vegetarian friend found plenty of options on the menu to choose from.

Excellent meal, excellent service and reasonable price; valet parking is even included at lunchtime!

Very over priced and bland food. The margarita pizza which was $24! was not good at all.

I was at a conference and we went to Bello! I fell in love with this restaurant because of the kindness of the servers, the quality of the food and the warm decor. The plate to share with starters is a delight! THANKS!

My team and I went there last week for a business dinner. The restaurant was at capacity but the service was truly impeccable and we all noticed it! Congratulations to this team which is visibly experienced. Perhaps I didnt choose the best dish for an Italian restaurant: tuna, quinoa and mango, it was good but nothing more, but the plate was visually neat. Those who chose the pasta loved their dishes. As for the atmosphere, it was very noisy since there were a lot of groups but I imagine that in normal times, it must be a nice atmosphere.

This restaurant was next to where we stayed. What a lovely experience we had. We thought we weren t hungry but we ate happily tempted by the great choices. Food, staff and atmosphere were spot on! Vegetarian options: Quebec city (old part) is fairly limited with a good variety of vegetarian options. This restaurant had a few but nothing really inspiring- but glad for some choices

Good Italian food and good service.

They brought bread to most couples in our party without being asked, and then charged for it. Very noisy.

Excellent menu choice and very good service

Awesome meal, great server

Magnificent and delicious evening! Everything is there to spoil yourself, exceptional and attentive service and delicious dishes.

We arrived at Bello a few minutes early for our 8:00 reservation on a Monday night. It was awkward waiting at the door for some time for the manager to come forward to take us to our table which was furthest back. The manager was cordial throughout. However the restaurant was very loud. It got even worse when for the 15 minutes before we left, the manager talked with a couple next to us who are apparently regulars. Despite the fact that they were next to each other they spoke, laughed and yelled with emphasis to make it impossible for us to stay. The pasta was excellent. The full order was too much despite the earlier comments of the waitress.

Average Italian food, not outstanding.

Disgusting, there is no other word to describe what I ate than disgusting. I ordered a RIGATONI ALLA CARBONARA, in fact there were 2 of us who ordered this dish and we were unable to eat it. The dish tasted only of pepper, one mouthful = 1 liter of water, there was no sauce in my bowl, the pasta had drunk all the sauce, it was sticky, a real shame. With us he had a person who liked spicy food and he too was not able to eat it! My daughter had ordered shrimp, rizotto with wine, the real name should be WINE WITH RIZOTTO, it only tasted like wine, she too could not eat her dish because she would have exceeded the 0.08 alcohol level allowed in the blood for driving your car, apart from the bread its a real shame and its called CHEF, perhaps for the restaurant la BELLE PROVINCE and again. It was a girls party dinner on Saturday October 12, destroyed by total incompetence. The music way too loud in the room. Only the bread is good. The waiter told me he would fix something on the bill but he didnt, it cost me $50 for a bowl of PEPPER GLUE and very small portion. There are many restaurants, go elsewhere, it couldnt be worse! We didnt know how parking worked, we paid $5 for the guy to move our car 50ft further on the same street, better laugh about it! I repeat its a real shame...

Very good, we give 4 stars to the service because our waitress was not smiling at all and she seemed exasperated when we asked for a few more minutes to look at the menus (it was our first visit).

Very cold welcome, we stopped for an aperitif (bottle of wine) we clearly seemed to bother Camille! Very disappointed!

Braze it good normal vegetable the sauce too light

Best restaurant in Quebec! The food is delicious! There s not a single bad thing about the delicious food! It s super delicious! love bello forever

Amazing risotto

Place was recommended and it didnt disappoint!

Excellent Food Excellent Staff Excellent Ambience Food : 5/5

My husband and I are visiting Quebec for a few days and find it to be a great place to visit. The sites and attractions have been amazing! We travel often and like most people we enjoy eating great meals. We choose this restaurant after having dinner at various French inspired restaurants in the city. Needless to say, the food experience was not good. First, it s a lovely space and we were greeted by the host and seated immediately. We requested to sit at another table because we were placed at a high top table and preferred to sit at another table for comfort. Our waiter arrived and offered water and then took our drink orders. This is where it all went south. Drinks arrived 25 -minutes after ordering. Server apologized and proceeded to take our food orders (we had to ask about chef specials) and he was not knowledgeable about the specials without reading them from a note. Orders are taken and we began the wait. He came back to the table 30-minutes later and asked if we would like more drinks but no mention of the food, I asked him when would could expect to get the food. Appetizers finally arrived and let me say , my husband s meal was good but my Caesar salad taste like it had been sitting for too long and was soaked to the point that the croutons were soggy and the lettuce was too. I ordered risotto duck with Foie gras, it was too salty and the worst risotto I ve ever had. The service was very disappointing and to add insult to injury, the waiter asked at the end of the evening, if we wanted separate checks. I paid the check and left. Risotto dumped in a nearby trash can. I would never visit again but will say that I m happy for those who had a great experience at Bello s.

Very nice restaurant, nice atmosphere and very good food. The delicious tender veal carpaccio, what can I say about the Margarita pizza, memories of my last trip to Italy. WoW. At the reception, Louis was very professional and responded to our multiple requests with a big smile, well done. Our server Devon, who knows the menu very well and the wines pair well with the Montepulciano Ambruzzo wine, is courteous, smiling and took the time to chat with us despite the busyness. Well done. You want to appreciate employees like them. THANKS

Just went in with a party of 7 at 4pm doors completely open and people eating and staff member approaches us and says kitchen is closed very rude and sad we weren t welcomed

Had the large portion of spinach ravioli for $36. Actually outrageous for the few dumplings that barely filled the plate. In addition, they werent particularly tasty in terms of taste (the pasta dough was very firm and the filling was so-so), Ive eaten much-much better ones. And the glass of wine was a maximum of 1/8l for $18, well, I also had a long journey from Europe. The atmosphere was actually nice, but despite there being enough free seats we had to sit at a very small table with a bar stool (me at 70!) The best thing - the service was very friendly. Vegetarian options: Spinach ravioli Parking: We spent about an hour looking for a free parking space - catastrophe. Last but not least, we found what we were looking for in the harbor.

Beautiful place, very friendly and well organized staff, good food!

Went for lunch. Service was top notch. Shared a large Caesar salad...was excellent had Dijon in dressing...interesting twist...and was super large. Then shared clam pasta...super tasty, fantastic.

Mains were good, tiramisu wasn t (not sure what the rave on some other reviews on the tiramisu is but I ve had better). Ambience was great. It all went south with the service we received. Our waiter seemed more interested in being attentive to some groups than others. Seemed least bothered to show my table any attention to the point when we requested for some pepper we never received it (but he had time for chit chat with other tables). We felt like we weren t welcome. We would never visit this restaurant again. There are much better restaurants around.

Totally worth it. Here for the first time and surely gonna come back Food

Extremely salty. Would taste good with only half of the salt.

We were. Quebec City for 6 days. Found this place the first night. Supremely excellent. There ate a lot of great restaurants, but we went back twice more. Not touristy. A real local quality place!

We went there for our daughters eighteenth birthday and from our arrival until our departure everything was perfect. From the parking valet to the butler who served us bubbles upon our arrival, to the attentive waiters throughout the meal and to the quality of the food, we give it a 6 star rating. Thank you to the whole team for making this special evening such a wonderful moment.

Good hospitality..good food...pasta was good .. margarita pizza base can be improved as well as the base sauce... overall best Italian in old qubec

Best Wood Oven Pizza in town

AMAZING Italian restaurant in old Quebec City!

Risotto is a Fairly standard menu item but not here. Hello has elevated Risotto to a completely new level - savory, filling, balanced even nuanced. This is not the watery, starchy risotto of far too many Italian restaurants. This was a perfect balance. Mastery is proven by how you handle simple dishes Belo has proven they understand this. The ambience is very nice, the service impeccable. Well worth a visit!

A perfect place for a business lunch or an evening drink with friends. Food, atmosphere, everything is there!!

Great atmosphere Window seats open at 10pm!!! Would have loved to have a quick drink after a large delicious meal elsewhere on our anniversary but was told i needed to order food even though they closed at 11pm.? Who turns away revenue like that?

Id say this is more of an Italian-inspired, than an actual Italian restaurant. That being said, food was absolutely fantastic & worth what we paid. Service was efficient & very courteous but not necessarily enthusiastic. The back patio sidewalk seating along with the fact that the restaurant itself is tucked away in one of the back streets of old Quebec City made the atmosphere really nice. Highly recommended.

They have half plates option for those who find regular plate is too much to finish, I had a spaghetti half plate, it was ok.

Great food, service and atmosphere.

Without a doubt the best meal I have ever eaten in the most delightful garden setting. Seared tuna with a mango tequila sauce served on top of an amazing quinoa sautéed vegetable combo. Wonderful service as well made for a very memorable meal.

Excellent! Highly recommend!

The Ai Funghi Risotto was very good

Very disappointed with this experience, the food was good but not really worth the price. For example, this margarita pizza worthy of a childrens menu priced at $29! Also, the service is deplorable! The waitresses are rude and dont look at the customers. One of the waitresses, when paying, snatched the cb payment machine from our hands so that she could give it a more important tip . We wanted to give in cash, but didnt have time to inform her because for the lady it apparently wasnt going fast enough, so she took the machine back from my mother. Shame, to flee!!! For a restaurant considered fancy , the service is truly deplorable. Too bad, because the setting is nice and very quiet, it was a real disappointment.

Poor service. Waitress who demands a high tip by taking the machine from our hands, and with her insistent look, forces us to increase, in fact, our tip. An unspeakable shame!! For a chic and relatively well-rated restaurant - were wrong to say that - the food was very average. Small pizza, extremely salty fries in short. If I could put zero, I would have. Finally, this same waitress dares to ask us if the service was correct. To flee. Best regards.

Impeccable service! Delicious food! Perfect atmosphere!

Located on rue de Saint Louis, this is a restaurant not to be missed. Perfect for sitting outside. Tagliatelle Nero FDM, black noodles and Sorbet Citron, an ice cream, are recommended.

We really enjoyed Bello, after a bad experience at Parmesan we decided to try Bello and they did not disappoint, the food was delicious, service outstanding and the atmosphere was great! The bill was also cheaper than Parmesan with the food and service being 10x better. 11/10 definitely recommend. We had the squid ink pasta, aroncini, calamari, and duck confit pasta. Will definitely be back again on our next visit to Quebec City!

First things first, when it is 30+ outside and you tell customers that you can not turn on the AC because the terrace is open, what does that even mean? It was cooler outside then it was inside, at the price of their food you would think they want people to be eating in a comfortable ambiance and not in a sauna. Second, not baby friendly, they wanted us to fold and store the stroller at the front of the resto and have us lay the kid down on the bench to sleep. Third and most importantly the food. Being italian I take pride in great tasting food, yet I am not a picky eater and give everyone a chance to put a spin on traditional Italian dishes. But and a big but, when you are paying 40$+ for a plate of pasta you expect quality, and the pescatore that i had was nowhere near that. Other than the shrimp that were well cooked, the pasta was horrible, stuck together and they were all broken, not one strand was intact it was as if someone cut the pasta to give to a child. The menu said tagliatelle, those were definitely not that, linguine at most. The creamy sauce did not go well at all with the dish, italians never do cream with seafood pasta and clearly theres a reason for it after tasting this scrap. I wont even talk about the calamari, it was so bad I dont even want to waste time writting about it, felt like I was eating deep fried batter and nothing else. Neither myself or my wife dared to even eat half of the meal. All that to say, I dont do reviews, and I dont ever complain, but 200$ later for pasta, I felt I should warn the food connaisseurs.

Excellent service, very good food, nice atmosphere, music not too loud and well located. Friendly staff

High price but that makes up for everything in terms of the quality of the food. During our visit in the evening it was a bit on the warm side, which made it quite warm inside. Furthermore, good and fast service, satisfied guests!

A real Italian restaurant. Excellent dishes, even if a little expensive, but for a tourist, for once it might be worth it.

Food is ok but I m little picky on the food, I m looking for more.

We have been going there every summer for 5 years, my friends and I. Its a tradition for us and we are never disappointed. Excellent service: people took great care of us (all without exception). The cuisine is generous and tasty. I recommend without hesitation!

BAM! Tasty!!!

I ordered margherita pizza and vongole pasta. The cost of the food is $59, including tip, $69! The food was very delicious! However, compared to the taste, the amount of vongole pasta was too small. I was full because I ordered pizza, but if I had ordered only pasta, it would have been insufficient. Still, the taste, atmosphere, and service were very good!

Didnt have reservations and was able to get a table for two (2) without issue. Servers were wonderful and accommodating (English speaking). Service was so quick and food was awesome, would dine again and would recommend for English speaking tourists

Unfortunately poor service. Malheuresment Food

The staff were lovely and found us a table last minute. The dishes were delicious, the wine list offered a choice, the setting was very pleasant with subdued lighting and soft music. We had a great time

A place not clean

The waiter of Mexican origin who served was great, the food was very good.

Attentive, courteous and friendly staff. And what can we say about the food other than WOW everything was delicious!

Bello is a gorgeous restaurant in the heart of Québec City, my husband and I enjoyed a lovely dinner here a few nights ago. We did not have reservations and Victor was amazing in getting us seated after a short wait. Definitely make reservations to ensure that you get in! We loved the bread from their brick oven, the veal, and the risotto! The ambiance is unforgettable, and Elza gave us great service. We highly recommend visiting Bello!

A good friend recommended that we make a reservation for dinner. Which is a good idea ahead of time. We were taken in right away and the atmosphere surrounded us right away. Our server was Daevon. He was absolutely the best server I have ever experienced. He was so attentive and friendly and yes English is spoken. As well as Daevon, so was Maxine! She was very attentive, our water was always filled. The both of them work well together as we watch them both work together at setting up other tables as the night went on. My husband and I surely enjoyed our experience at IL Bello. From the starter cocktails to the end with an espresso and digestive, the entire evening was a delight. We shared the Capesante Al Pastis - scallops flambeed. Hubby had the Tagliatelle All Anatra - pasta and duck confit. I had the Rissotto Al Gameretto - rice rosotto with tiger shrimp in a white wine sauce. All dishes were over the top and the portions were just perfect. Absolutely recommended this resturant. Very impressed and very satisfied!! Chef kiss.

Great option in Quebec. Food was all prepared well and tasted great. I would agree with a couple other people that service could be a little more timely and attentive but we have certainly encountered worse. Give it a try

Slow service, average food and expensive as Italian, I would not recommend it

very mixed feeling about this place. apps (steak tartare and onion soup) were very good, but we were disappointed by the mains. for a place that has an entire section in the menu dedicated to risotto, I think what we got (a risotto cacio&pepe and a duck + foie gras) was everything but exceptional. while the taste was ok, the texture was completely wrong, rice was slightly overcooked, too watery and not creamy as a real risotto is supposed to be. it almost seems that they used a variety of rice with lower starch content. Given the price, reviews, and popularity of this restaurant, I was expecting much more. I just hope whoever claims this is the best risotto they ever had will eventually have the chance to taste a real one...

Small portion.But test nice.

Excellent service and food was great. Beef cheek was delicious and good pizza as well.

My husband and I are visiting from out of province. We brought our dog with us this time on our trip. We were looking for an Italian restaurant that did Take-Out! (As many restaurants do not-which can be challenging) We came across Bello and I am so happy we ordered from here. We ordered the Cesar Salad for 2, the Rigatoni Pasta Carbonara and the Pizza Al Funghi! Everything was $118 and worth every dollar! The flavor and the freshness were amazzzzzzzzing! I highly recommend it! While waiting for my food at the restaurante I saw a group of 4 who had a reservation come in. The staff member let them know their table will be ready in 5 minutes. While they waited, the hostess served them a glass of champagne! Like thats what you call class and service done well! I will be recommending this restaurant to anyone I know who may be visiting Quebec city!

Great service and even better food. I would highly recommend getting their ravioli and pizzas! Even the cocktails were superb. Although it s a bit pricey, I do recommend checking it out if you re in the area!

Everything about the experience was phenomenal. Food was superb, had the pizza, pasta, salad and bello cake. All were beyond expectations. Service was attentive, quick and friendly. The atmosphere was amazing, watching the pizzas in the wood burning oven was a nice touch.

I was expecting much more from this restaurant. The person who gave me the seat was very polite and nice however the server made me feel so anxious after me asking a few questions about menu items that I lost my appetite and I preferred not to have food there and leave. If I go to a restaurant it is for the experience so if it is not pleasant I rather eat somewhere else. I did not taste the food so my review is only about the service. Maybe their food is good but at the end eating out is about experience for me. I had a great experience in an Italian restaurant before and I hope this does not stop me from going to Italian restaurant.

Best QC table, best service!

You have to dine in here, amazing experience from the moment you walk in. Very welcoming atmosphere, the menu offers a lot of different options. Also have a great wine list. Food is top notch, service is up to their great cuisine. Get lunch/dinner here and thank me later. Kid-friendliness: Their kids menu looks as good as adults options.

Outstanding restaurant from Victor the manager to the wait staff, every detail was looked after extremely well. Food was delicious Ian very well portioned. It was our first time at the restaurant and we booked a table 4-Hour next trip in a month. This alone will tell you how good it is. Thank you to Victor and the staff for making our anniversary my birthday memorable and delicious. See you in July, continued success to you Mark and Diana

Amazing food and great atmosphere! The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The calamari is one of the best I ve had! Pasta Rigatoni Carbonara is excellent with the right combination of shrimp and prawns. Quite delightful.

I ordered the seafood pasta, and it was so good! There s a variety of seafood, and it blends well with the squid ink pasta. I also loved the service and atmosphere. It was quiet, and they served you well! I will definitely recommend coming here:) Food

My wife and I ate here on Canada Day. Our flight had been cancelled the day prior so we found ourselves enjoying a wonderful day in QC. We stopped at Bello Ristorante for lunch and were seated at a very nice table (even though we were Americans! :-)). Our server was excellent. The food was exceptional. My wife had the seafood risotto and I had the linguini pesto. Both were the best wed ever had in our 60+ years on this planet (including trips to Italy). We also had the homemade bread, it was divine. Strongly recommend trying this restaurant. I will be back the next time I find myself in QC.

The tiramisu is hearty and delicious, the pana cota on a bed of pistachio is also very good, the meal menu is quite substantial

Superb experience, both in terms of service and quality of dishes. We had a starter of cheese and tomatoes (burratta style) accompanied by homemade bread and olive oil and for meals, we ate a seafood risotto which was Extraordinary and a braised beef cheek which would have fed two men. Accompanied by a good glass of wine, the experience was perfect. We finished with a quality little espresso lungo too. Cost: $200 well spent! The service is exceptional with attentive people who operate a full dining room! I recommend booking even if you can always find a place there. Followed by a walk in the isolated streets of old Quebec to rediscover period architecture; what a beautiful evening!! Enjoy your food!

Very disappointing after receiving a recommendation from our tour guide. Had to wait for 5 mins at the entrance to be seen by a server despite the place being relatively quiet. Brought to an indoor table which had no air con and was wide open to the outside. Server seemed disinterested and short with us. We were then swarmed with flies for the duration of our meal with several of them flying into my beer. When I asked for this to be replaced, they didn t seem to think there was an issue initially. My partner s pasta was average and not particularly fresh. I find it odd that this place comes so highly regarded, it was in all honesty below average and not in any way worth its current price point.

Worth a try!

Super nice experience the service was impeccable and the food too.

Amazing food. Our favorite spot in Old Quebec.

Food was ok, but not sure why we were seated inside the glass cage right by the entrance at the heaviest traffic area (probably the worst location at this place) despite making a reservation way ahead of time and everyone else who walked in were seated inside. The restaurant was also very hot, I was literally sweating the entire time making the whole experience pretty unpleasant. If you are tourists traveling from another country, I would not recommend this restaurant.

Dinner with one colleague . I think the food is good, but not the best Italian restaurant... Pasta is good and is cooked well maybe the taste can be better ( in the clams one there were too much onions for no reasons .. The tuna is a good plate and taste good and healthy. Service is good ( we ate at the bar) They have a wood hoven for the pizza

Slow and inattentive service, mediocre food. Not sure how this place had high rating .. After I was seated outside, I was ignored for more than 10-15 mins .. not given menu, water, etc .. I got annoyed and had to ask for it. And this how it went the rest of the dinner, I had to ask for everything .. napkins, water, check .. the waiters seemed more interested chatting with some customers and ignoring the others. Food was mediocre at best, how is this place got 4.5 stars??? The scallop was overcooked and sauce was too sour. The pasta sauce way too too rich .. not much flavors. Avoid this place .. better go elsewhere.

To me, the quality and taste of food is one of the prime reasons we go out to eat. Every item we ordered was bland and underwhelming. Given the price we paid that was incredibly disappointing. I would honestly compare our meals tonight to east side Marios. (Ive had more flavorful meals there) Margarita pizza- Pesto pasta- Meat rigatoni Lemon tart The service was great though.

Very good food and also very nice and courteous service. Top!

I had the tuna on quinoa salad and it was absolutely tasty. The fish could have used a little more seasoning, but otherwise very, very tasty. The atmosphere is very chic and the service is friendly. My partner ate pasta, perfectly fine.

Exceptional. Service was accommodating, efficient, perfect. Food was top of the line.

Wonderful place. Would come back again.

Food and location and service was really good. The one big problem is wood oven pizza makes it super hot, really not pleasant actually. No kids menu fyi.

Wonderful experience, great food. The service is amazing. I dont speak or understand French and they were very patient and helpful with my questions & needs. Thank you

I didnt like the service very much, when I arrived I asked to sit somewhere because I was with a baby and they didnt allow me, their menu also doesnt contain any photos of the food they offer.

The food here is, simply, outstanding. We had tagliatelle with duck confit, artichokes and foie Gras. Tremendous. It is a bit louder than we are used to and really does have a wonderful vibe. Highly recommend for the food especially.

I had an unfortunate start with a hair in my carpaccio at Bello. To their credit, the staff quickly replaced my dish, which was appreciated. However, the frequent checks asking if everything was okay felt overdone and somewhat intrusive, rather than just a sincere apology. This excessive attention actually made the experience more uncomfortable. While the restaurant does seem to cater heavily to tourists now, diners might want to stay alert. Just a heads up!

The service and food and the place was beyond any expectations , thank you our favorite place in Quebec

Best experience, perfect service Very attentive waitress and manager. They made our day Food : 5/5

The service was great. We were looking for the place to celebrate a birthday, and manager of Bello was the only one who found the table for 8 of us really fast. Quality of service was high! The food was great! I recommend this ristorante for the great evening

Food was good, but pricey. The wal in the basement is very cool. Overall, good experience.

Classic and excellent. The carpaccio is perfect. Pasta too. The cake, ideal for those with a sweet tooth. Sumptuous wine. Responsive and professional service. We will return there often. Well done everyone!

Omg wonderful.

Yum!!! We sat in the private back room through the wine cellar & it was a great experience! Excellent service & a culinary delight!!

Beautiful private room in the storeroom. I recommend the antipasto

No service

I really liked everything!!

Came to Bello restaurant tonight to celebrate my husbands birthday. From the looks of it, the restaurant offers a great vibe. The food we ordered was 10/10... However ..... The biggest L was our server. She only checked in on us ONCE during the entire course of our meal. No check ins, no feedback on food was asked. When we were done eating, she came and placed the dessert menu in silence, did not ask if we even wanted dessert. I dont know if she was being a racist (seeing people of colour ) or she simply was that way in general. Honestly poor experience when the food and restaurant are so good but your server turns out to be so annoying and disrespectful.

Fungi pizza was amazing, not a big fan on the paper on the tables kinda makes me feel like Im at montanas but amazing other than that!

Every thing was perfect in here! Everything IS perfect. Will come back here, definitely! Second night in here, the host (Daivon) was remembering us and our choice in drinks, he s perfect too, he offered us a compliment drink which was amazing. Strongly recommended! Tiramisu, caesar salad, fungi pizza, cocktails and wines are at best qualities!

Everything is delicious

I liked it but would have liked to get more bang for my buck, I found there was a lack of choice on the menu. The atmosphere was excellent, the waiters were very attentive, courteous and attentive to everything!!! The salmon tartare was very good, the beef cheek too but I didnt like the sides served with it and I found the prices expensive compared to the food. Again, I repeat, the food and the atmosphere were all very good but unfortunately a lack of choice on the menu. But despite everything we had a great experience

Cant give more stars, I would have

Bello has everything, great service, comforting and modern environment and incredible food! They serve Cryo sparking water and it was a nice unique addition to their already exceptional menu! I would definitely go again next time Im in Quebec

Food is good, service was excellent.

Tuna tartare: good seasoning Foie gras risotto: a little bit too salty Seafood linguini: perfect and a lot of seafood Food : 4/5

Antipasto misto happiness, pure delight, Delicious cannoli Excellent service, friendliness of the staff

Very easy going atmosphere while keeping an upscale feel. The braised beef cheeks with gnocchi was tasty as was the Bolognese.

Very good cuisine!! Outstanding service, thank you for making our moments so pleasant, fire team who despite a lot of traffic make you feel as if you were their only customer.

Friendly staff. Good pizza and wine.

Great local food with appropriate service. Local and in the tourist area but that doesn t take away from the food. I d recommend and eat here again!

Incredible service and tasty food

I must confess, my adoration for the pasta and soup at this Italian restaurant knows no bounds. We visited without any appointments. We were in quebec city for few days and wanted to try something Italian cuisine. With this visit, I find myself enamored by the exquisite flavors and meticulous preparation that characterize these culinary masterpieces. The pasta, cooked to perfection, effortlessly captures the essence of Italian cuisine, while the soup, rich and comforting, never fails to warm both my heart and palate. Its more than just a meal; its a symphony of taste that leaves me longing for another visit, eager to indulge in its delectable offerings once more. The style the menu had was so attractive. Not only is the food a delight, but the impeccable service provided by CHARLES adds an extra layer of enjoyment to our dining experience. His attentive care and genuine warmth make us feel welcomed and cherished with each visit. Moreover, Charles went above and beyond by orchestrating a memorable celebration for my husbands birthday, ensuring that every moment was filled with joy and festivity. His efforts truly exemplify the exceptional hospitality that sets this Italian restaurant apart, making it a cherished destination for both culinary delights and heartfelt experiences. I loved everything there . Thank you for this lovely experience. It is definitely highly recommended!! Vegetarian options: Pasta, soup, pizza

Had great pasta in this restaurant!

Very good food and restaurant ! Took the carbonara pasta and it was delicious

Very good service, music too loud and food just ok

Bello was recommended to me by staff over at the Clos Saint-Louis hotel next door. On a relatively quiet and gloomy Thursday evening, the place was full of people and vibrant. Might be a challenge to get a seat without a reservation, but I enjoyed the bar sitting all the same. Their food was fantastic and their have a fair collection of wines and drinks from the bar that you can choose to enjoy. If you are looking for a good Italian foodie experience, you will not be disappointed by what Bello has to offer.

Wow! I went there with my 5 children (2 years old to 14 years old) for Mothers Day and nothing to complain about!!

A glass of Barolo and mushroom pasta. Divine

Seriously the best Italian in the old capital

I had amazing dinner at there! I visited with my mom and it was first time to visit Quebec for her. They took care of us so much and she really enjoyed the dinner. I appreciate that you guys gave her a wonderful memory. They got awesome dishes, atmosphere, and service!

We had an amazing time at Bello Ristorante when we were there for a vacation. The food was incredible and the servers were very attentive and polite. Very nice place with a nice relaxing environment Parking: Limited parking in the area. There is some valet parking available outside the business

A restaurant that does not live up to its reputation. I was beyond disappointed with the experience. Even with a reservation, we got a poorly placed table next to a table of water pitchers (??). The food was not tasty, not very appealing and poorly presented. I have no shame in saying that the meals are not worth the exorbitant prices they are sold for. Halfway through the evening, we knew we would never go back there again.

Absolutely the best restaurant weve been to in a long time! So warm and chill atmosphere, impeccable service - the restaurant manager welcomed us and our group of 4 having the best table - my cousin and her husband from Alberta were so impressed with everything. The absolutely sublime, fantastic cuisine and the presentation wow! Can t wait to go back! If you go to Quebec, this restaurant is an absolute must for a beautiful, unforgettable evening.

I loved the place!

Are you looking for an excellent restaurant in Quebec . Look no further, Bello Ristorante is your destination!!!!! You wont regret it, believe us!

The best restaurant Ive eaten in Quebec City so far. I dont eat seafood, but I tried the prawns and scallops. They were both delicious.

Definitely this restaurant is outclassed Not worth the trip There were 5 of us and no one liked it We didnt eat. Plus the restaurateur makes you pay for a bun of bread (unheard of) really cheap We ordered several different meals and all were beyond mediocre Uncooked cod, soup bathed in tomato juice and what can we say about the pasta, no taste Never be proud of the stars awarded because often they can be misleading and you get caught

Just waited outside the restaurant in my car to see the review and food highlights before we go in, some person from the hotel tried to open the door for us and we said we are just waiting. After few seconds he came with a car, squeezed his car infront of my car and almost hit my car and was very rude and asked to move from there RIGHT NOW!! Nice way to behave to tourists/anyone

Exceptional service!

Simply Terrific!! From valet parking to service, atmosphere and meals! We loved our experience! We will come back for sure!

Much too expensive for a dish of non-homemade pasta and a glass of wine plus being an Italian restaurant no canolli for dessert!!

A very very attentive valet.

Came here with 3 coworkers. Been here before in the past and it was awesome. This time however it was not what it used to be. Staff was present but not very friendly or bubbly. Was offered sparkling water but wasnt told there was a charge of 6 dollars for the bottle they brought to the table. Then was offered table bread, once again for a charge I wasnt aware of till the bill showed up. If youre going to offer these items you should mention theres a charge. My coworkers and I ordered 2 scallop appetizers and a french onion soup. One plate of scallops was decent enough. One plate was cold. The French onion soup wasnt anything to write home about either. Ordered two plates of the frutti di mare pasta and a mushroom risotto. Prices were a bit steep but its pricier ingredients so I guess its justified. The pastas had an odd taste and the one plate was also a bit cold. The risotto was ok but had a giant hard chewy piece. The Manager didnt charge for the risotto which was nice but unfortunately didnt make up for the rest of the experience. Was quite disappointed as in the past Bello was a highlight of our dining. Atmosphere is nice for a date night though. Pizza is usually good but their ovens are being renovated and werent operating unfortunately. Probably wont come back again. Sorry Bello, I hate leaving bad reviews but you gotta step it up!

Just walked in because I was craving pasta But turned out to be one of my favorite restaurants in Quebec! Will be visiting again when I come back to this area :) I highly recommend the seafood pasta Food
