Beautiful experience-from atmosphere to great food & very good service. Loved sitting on Terrance. Had Parmesan fondue for app- a must have! Salad salad for 2 was excellent & plenty for 3 or even 4 to share. Pasta is homemade & portions generous. One of our favorite restaurants in Quebec City. Reservation needed!

Our second visit was somewhat disappointing. Being of Italian descent, the pasta Bolognese is a complete MIS-NOMER ... it was NOT a Bolognese sauce at all [a Bolognese sauce is comprised of chopped meat (a combination of beef, veal, pork) with a small amount of finely chopped carrot & other seasonings in a tomato base] ... what was served was spaghetti & very hard meat balls in a not-so-good tomato sauce! The quality of the beef carpaccio was excellent (as it was the 1st time) BUT too much stuff (including vinegar doused chopped mushrooms) is served over it ... it should be a much more delicate dish [beef carpaccio on the plate (no greens under it) decorated with a small amount of finely shaved (not grated) parmesan or Romano cheese; some watercress (undressed) in center; extra-virgin olive oil or truffle oil over top ... & THAT'S IT!] With two tables (later 3) dining at an off-hour in the afternoon service should have been attentive to a fault ... but it was more like we were intruding. Sorry to say that Bello will not be on my list of restaurants to visit when next I travel to Quebec City. I don't like writing reviews like this but I'm hoping the chef & the management will read it.

We visited Tuesday the 18th of September & Sunday the 23rd. Bello provides a great experience along with great food. The servers work very well together without being overbearing.

Some of the Tuesday highlights: Arancini appetizer excellent, smoked salmon excellent (unless you're one who prefers a more "cooked" fish). Veal Scallopini with mushrooms was the best scallopini I've ever had & their risotto with shrimp was excellent. Tiramisu dessert was presented imaginatively in a small canning jar & just like the entrees was excellent.

Sunday's meal was every bit as good. Fried calamari appetizer was a very generous portion presented with a nice remoulade sauce. Ceasar salad for two was very nicely presented. We each did 1/2 orders of pasta (so glad they have the 1/2 option). The lobster ravioli was incredible & the seafood linguini was great.

Service was perfectly paced, that very fine balance between "no rushing" & no waiting for what comes next. If your server becomes involved with a larger table there's another who will stop by to keep everything on track.

It's hard to say if we were more impressed by the food or by the teamwork & professionalism.

Bello is on St Louis, a few blocks away from the crowded St Jean street. It's well worth making a reservation & doing the uphill walk from St Jean street.

Only one small quibble: be aware that many restaurants suggest a tip on the subtotal before taxes, Bello's suggested amounts are based on the total with taxes. Easy enough for a decision if you look at the amounts.

Best meal the four of us had in a long time. Pasta was prepared extremely well. Our waiter was able to explain how each of our selection was prepared, what ingredients it contained. Very impressive.

We sat at the bar & enjoyed great food & our service was excellent. We shared the caesar for two (big enough for 4!) & I had the veal with mushroom & my wife had pasta with truffle & mushroom. My dish was so good my wife wants to back tomorrow & have it for lunch. Go here!

Service- 10/10. Friendly & very very fast. Always on top of everything wether it was getting more water or when our food came
Food- 10/10. Honestly, can't even remember the last time I had pasta that good (we both got the same pasta dish , it has clams in it but can't remember for the life of me), tasted very fresh & oh man , I dreamt about it all night.
We ended it with tiramisu, again. It was light & creamy... & delicious!

If you're going to Old Quebec, this is definitely a go to place!

Excellent service, very good food & very nice atmosphere. My wife & I had our anniversary dinner here & we thoroughly enjoyed it. The seafood pasta was one of the best pasta dishes I had in a long time Would highly recommend.

We had pasta our first visit. Very good flavours. Pasta with clams & pasta with carbonara were both excellent, our shared Caesar salad for 2 was more than enough.

The second visit I had veal with mushroom sauce. The veggies & sauce were delicious.

The service here was exceptional. We would definitely come back.

We had three different pastas ( carbonara, Gorgonzola , & linguine with clams. All were fabulous. I had the 3 cheese risotto which was so rich & wonderful coming with a crisp salad on the side to balance the rich cheeses. The arancini & buffalo mozzarella appetizers were quite good as well. Pleasant attentive staff. Highly recommend.

Our second time to Bello on this trip to Quebec City- took our business associates for dinner- lovely table - delicious pasta dishes- 2 nice bottles of wine for the group. Service was good- even though they were quite busy (always a good sign)- they were friendly & attentive! Love the ambiance as well- quite a hit!
