I sat at the bar having a drink, waiting nearly an hour for my meal to be ready to go! Finally the bartender checked on it and it was set aside somewhere! Ugh, not a good experience. Got home to cold meal, soggy salad with stale croutons. The dish was disappointing in flavor and the over-processed beef stuffing was mushy. It's funny they mention crispy spinach as it's not a noticeable feature lost in the gravy. Interior restaurant ambience is cool.

Went back to try some other menu items. This time...pizza! Non dairy cheese again! My kids and…read morehusband had crispy goat cheese salad, salmon pizza, and pepperoni pizza (all full dairy, but I'm not jealous). While my pizza toppings were fantastic, the non-dairy mozzarella was not, this time. It did not melt at all and there were little cheez haystacks everywhere. It wasn't very pleasant. Kiddo said pepperoni was closer to ham and picked it off her pizza. Kiddo 2 said the salmon pizza was good but the ingredients were all a bit overwhelming to each other so the flavors did not compliment each other as much as she hoped. Hubs had the crispy goat cheese salad and said it was good, but might have been better shared with a starchier entry than alone. I'm still giving it a four because the options are very good for anybody needing to avoid dairy and the service was great!

The cheese and olive oil balance it really well Braised Pork pizza is a little bit underwhelming. Because the red sauce is so strong you can barely taste the pork It comes with a soup or salad and ends with coffee or tea. Buchetta is really crispy and fresh. One of the best we've had. Curry soup is ok, good enough for curry. Really cheap price for the amount of food!

After wandering around beautiful Québec City, we made one BIG mistake: we didn't reserve a table…read morefor Saturday evening! We decided to try our luck at Portofino, which had some great reviews. We were told the wait would be an hour or more--and almost exactly an hour later, our table opened up. Totally worth the wait! The whole family loves Italian food, and Portofino delivered. We started with Caprese and bruschetta, followed by cacio e pepe, arrabbiata, eggplant Parmesan, and pizza. Everything was delicious, and the staff was happy to adjust a couple of dishes to our liking. One thing we didn't know before arriving: there was live music! We ended up with a table right next to the duo performing. It was actually a lot of fun singing along to some good old classics. If you're looking for a quiet, romantic dinner, though, this may not be your place--but for a lively family evening, it was perfect! And since we had a birthday in the group, the staff surprised us with cannoli mousse, crème and ice cream. A huge shout-out to Steve, who was absolutely awesome! He was attentive, friendly, and genuinely made our evening special. And kudos to Steve and the chef for serving up some seriously finger-licking-good food! We'll definitely be back. Next time, though, we're making a reservation!

I was able to walk into Bello ristorante for bar seating, but I could definitely see Bello being…read morebusy! Bello is an Italian restaurant, but thinking about it, I don't think I've had it with more of a French influence. Coming from NYC, I'm usually more used to American-Italian. I had their veal parm and the tagliatelle nere al frutti di mare. I liked the veal parm, but I'm used to the pasta being more tomato, while theirs seem to be more white wine focused - definitely different from my taste bud from US! The tagliatelle was a squid ink seafood pasta. I like how they have either full size or half size portions!

For example the pizza was described as being 6 inches but in practice is closer to 10-12 inches. The bread basket is a few pieces, and the dressings are garlic butter, a tomato spread, and truffle oil. It wasn't like any focaccia bread I've had in the US.

We ordered a margherita pizza with extra cheese (which was a fresh burrata ball) and Caesar. Both were delicious! Make a reservation if you can during the busy season (we were here in October). Per the staff, November is slow, but December is insanely busy. But it's worth the wait if you have to stand in line waiting a table. Shout out to Catherine, Marianne, Matis, Annabelle, & Thalia!!! Loved them! Their smiles and great attitude made the wait worth it!

My non-dairy cheese was excellent. Nice and melty and went perfectly with the flavor and freshness of the tomato sauce. One kiddo had a loaded pizza, the other cheese.

Unfortunately, many of the dishes, lacked flavor or were just poorly executed. My chicken Parm wasn't crispy, almost as if the oil wasn't hot enough prior to frying it. I think the pizza in general is a skip. The lamb chop was cooked well but underseasoned. However, the beef carpaccio, as well as the burrata salad were both excellent. I would like to give this restaurant another shot when I'm back in Quebec, there's definitely potential with some minor tweaks.
