This place was a lucky find for us. The food was authentic great Italian, and the waitstaff was very friendly and helpful (thank you, David!).

First time here. Parking around here is a challenge. Lunchtime seemed busy which bode well. The lunch menu varied from penne Romanov 18, risotto asparagus 19, lemon fish 22. Pasta for me!!! Choice of soup or salad. The salad was fresh and well prepared. Make it tasty and crunchy and I'm happy. Good sized pasta plate with a savoury sauce. The french baguette was steaming hot. So I filled up on... plus

Walk in to the resto first time i see is the CAKE BOSS sister and husband lol . Loved the resto amazing food and the service # 1

Delicious pizza and great service! Love their ladies night

Mom and I were hangry in the East End after an infuriatingly useless mission to the FedEx depot (rage.) I passed her the Yelp map and let the lady choose and we ended up here, at this delicious and cute oasis of yumminess.

Being who we are and the stage of hungry we were at, we changed seats about 17 times and ordered weird things in a weird order, and the young tall Italian men who worked... plus

We loved this place!  We were staying close by and saw good reviews on yelp do we stopped by.  The pizza was amazing.  Really, everything we ate there was great.  Service was good too,  highly recommend.

Solid option in the area that is open late and family friendly. Now in the heart of Saint Leo the italian needs to be good and the gelato has to great. We came with our new born, friendly, fast and reasonably priced. For sure we will come back if we are in the area. Enjoy!

1 thing to say! EVERYTHING is amazing! but those pizza dough fire oven baked MOZZARELLA/NUTELLA balls! Leave me speechless

Came here with kids based on yelp reviews. Apparently we had to make reservations, yet were seated and all worked perfectly. Place gets busy, but things flow quickly as food does not take long to get on your table. We had margarita pizza and pasta carbonara. Flavors were rich and of decent portion, service was stellar. Def worth a try if you are around.

Franco Kano Reviews:
1. Food was Incredible, I was very skeptic about eating in this area and my expectations were met very easily. Good portion sizes and reasonable prices
2. Pizza's range from 14-18 dollars. They are personal sized with 4 big slices on each plate. Menu is organized from cheapest price to most expensive
3. Great salads, pizza and pasta with quick service
4. Location is great,... plus

I just had the best Italian meal in a very long time. I'm full. Ordered the Eggplant Parmigiana. Tres delicious!! Calamari was very good and the Caeser salad was excellent. I will be coming back. I don't understand why it's 4 stars. This place is worth visiting!! Tres Bon.

First time and definitely not the Last
Had amazing calamari
The pizza was to die for
I was thinking about ordering a 2nd it was so good
And to top off my supper a delicious gelato made by master ice cream makers
Zak and Papi are the secret to their amazing pizza

Kind of upscale, kind of casual. Came later before closing but the staff was accommodating and seated us quickly. We ordered a pizza to share which was out in 15 mins tops. Waiters spoke english and french which helped (we're dumb Americans). It seems that this place is known more so for its gelato which we didn't get to try unfortunately due to the time. The pizza was very good, crust cooked... plus

Disappointing. Lobster was terrible. Manager tried to convince me that the tomalley was caviar from a female lobster lol. Stick to the gnocchi and/or pizza unless you want to leave dissatisfied.

First time to La Bella Italiana and definitely not the last. This restaurant has great potential!

Service was excellent, our waitress was really nice and always smiling.

The decor is simple and pretty. There's a good ambiance with great music.

The food was amazing!! My friend and i shared plates. We first got a salmon tartar that was quite tasty. Then we ordered the "caprino" pizza and we... plus

Love love love! Seriously a hidden gem! The service is on point, the food also , however I do recommend reserving because when there's a large group , the restaurant gets full fast.

I can't believe that I have been to the Bella Italiana numerous times and never reviewed it. La Bella Italiana originally started as an ice cream place but evolved over the years into a full blown restaurant. If you're in St-Leonard and in search of some classic Italian comfort food then come here. They do the basics like pasta and pizza and always have a few daily specials. It is a pretty... plus

Good good and good service. My party of 2 adults and 3 kids enjoyed the pastas and pizzas. Will go back again.

We had a delicious meal here. I got the pasta special of the day and it was pretty good, but the star was the carbonara my partner got. He talked about it all the way home. The gelato was delicious for dessert as well. Fully recommend this little place.

They make the pizza at a station in the dining room! Top notch pizzas!
Try the gelatos. Very nice ambience!

Went here for a birthday we were a group of 22 people and the service was good. It's not a big restaurant but it's great in the summer with the terasse. The pizza is very good cooked in a wood pizza oven with nice thin and tasty crust. The gnocchi poutine is a must have soooo delicious with the cheese, sauce and braised veal. They have a pretty large selection of gelato which is great to enjoy... plus

I'm not from Montreal, but I went there to visit. I was looking for an Italian restaurant that would be worth visiting, after being unsuccessful in my previous choices. I'm very happy I chose this place. The waiter was incredibly nice and patient. The food was fantastic and delicious, and it didn't take that long. I would definitely recommend La Bella Italiana.

Truly wonderful food - above and beyond standard Italian fare to the freshest, most robust and delicate ingredients and flavors. Friendly prompt service even though they were super busy to capacity and we didn't have a reservation. Speak English and French. Great experience.

My favourite restaurant in Anjou. They have a terrace facing Jean-Talon agree it's not the best view, but you're still eating outside. You can't go wrong with their pizza. Their gnocchi s poutine is to die for!!! You'll dream of it after trying it. I always go for lunch, expect to spend an hour 30 minutes. The gelato is also amazing, quite pricey, but it's a good treat in the summer.

The best pizza in town

We go there very often since we discovered this! It's our preffered italian restaurant, not only because of the pizza (which is the best pizza I'd ever tried), but because of their trippa, calamari and also their deserts!

Best Pizza on the Island of Montréal

Brick-oven pizza ... best in town!! Located in Saint-Léonard, an east-end borough of Montréal. Great gelatos too!!

Really good pizza

First time at this pizzeria/ice cream/resto
Pleasantly surprised. Pizza selection was vast, we were 8 and chose different toppings, all looked great.
Chose the house special, thin crust, prosciutto, cheese and mushrooms, wood oven cooked and served hot. Really good, tasty and cheese was just the right texture.
Quick and efficient service.
Price was just right.
Ok wine selection and... plus

Great wood burning oven pizza.

Excellente pizza au four à bois. Nous sommes allés sur l'heure du lunch pour un anniversaire, nous étions 9, le service a èté très lent et plusieurs n'ont pas eu leur repas en même temps. Encore une fois, la bouffe excellente, mais le service ...nous sommes restés 2 heures et nous n'avons pas pris de café car il fallait retourner au boulot.

An acceptable place to have a coffee and gelato or grab a quick byte in the area. Nothing really impressive about the place but atmosphere, food and service are OK.

Great wood oven cooked pizza.  Really amazing... Worth the detour even though a little bit overpriced.
