We sat on the balcony where we were able to enjoy our meal as we listened to the peaceful music they had playing in the background. This is not a super fancy high priced place. The setting is casual, and their prices were very reasonable. My fiance ordered the Tiapia with mushroom sauce, which came with a Patee dish and coffee. I ordered my normal steak and fries special that came with a creamed carrot soup and coffee. Our plan was to order both dishes and share them so we can get an idea of how each tasted. We were not disappoionted. Our meals tasted great! That is no exageration. Our waitress was also exceptional, which made the experience all that much better. She was friendly, helpful, and attentive. If my fiance and I ever return to Quebec City, we would not hesitate to go back there again.

The servers here seem to work in tandem helping out wherever needed so we had two different people waiting on us throughout our meal which was cool! To start off with drinks we ordered a limoncello spritz and a fruitatto spritz. The fruit one was by far my favorite, but I'd also dangerous because you could drink them all day like water lol. The limoncello was delicious as well, just be mindful if you're not a limoncello person or have had it before that it'll be a strong flavor when you sip it! For our food we shared the Parmesan truffle fries as an appetizer, the Spag pollo (pasta with chicken, tomatoes, and veggies), and the 1608 flatbread (bechamel sauce, mushrooms, bacon, 1608 cheese, rosemary). Everything we had was so delicious & I even drizzled some spicy oil on top of the pizza which really elevated the flavor! If you're ever visiting Quebec City you have to check this place out!

We waited for more than 45 minutes. When the food did come out it was lukewarm to cold. It seemed like it was sitting for a while before it was brought over to us. I had high expectations food wise, regardless of the slow service. The pizza was okay, I have had way better. The spag pollo lacked so much flavor! I thought it would be so flavorful because of the herbs but nope! The arrabiata pasta lacked flavor as well. Overall, I had high expectations considering the reviews I read were positive. But huge disappointment and waste of time/ money/ and still leaving hungry! We did tip but the waitress didn't deserve a tip. She wasn't even the one who brought the food over!

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 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!

I wasn't too hungry so I ordered an app for my entree, the bruschetta. It came loaded with seasoned tomato pieces. Hubby ordered the pasta with clams in a spicy sauce. There was a misunderstanding with his meal. When hubby asked questions about the carbonara, our server thought he ordered the carbonara when he actually decided on the pasta with clams. When the wrong meal was brought over, our server escalated to his manager who then offered to exchange his meal. They kept apologizing for the mixup but honestly, they already handled it well by replacing it without issues. The pasta dish was so good! I scooped the extra sauce with my crostini and really enjoyed it. The clams were meaty and fresh too. Daughter ordered the pasta with meat sauce- also very good. This small restaurant has tables pretty close together and is part of a hotel. If anything needs to be improved, it's the ventilation. Afterwards, our clothes had heavy food scents!

We were given French menus even though we clearly were speaking English and the waiter also speaking English to us. We had to call him back over to ask for an English menu. We ordered appetizers: calamari which I thought would be a safe bet since it's supposed to be an Italian restaurant, and some fried zucchini things. He brought the apps.. just the app dishes, we had to call him back over to ask for cutlery and side plates. The calamari was overcooked, crunchy rubber (Not sure about the zucchini thing, I would have to refresh my memory on the actual menu details,but I am pretty sure it doesn't say it supposed to be soggy round lumps.. ) I kept my mouth shut and didn't complain which is absolutely unusual for me. We ordered our mains, I ordered a salad and my son ordered veal. After a while the waiter came and asked if that would be all, ready with charger in hand. I said um, we have not yet received our mains. He was very confused. He went away and after quite a while we finally received the mains..I suspect the order did not get to the kitchen. The cheese in my salad was soft and plopped. The salad itself was somewhat edible but limp and not enjoyable. The only thing fine was my son's veal..however I am not sure if he just said that to make me feel better since I was so disappointed in the rest of the meal . I travelled very far to see him, more than an hour past Toronto, costing me $800 on the train, during some very difficult personal issues I very much needed this trip and his support. He knows how important this visit was for me since I see him only a few times a year. Anyway we ate, I left half of my main because it was soggy..and I paid, I spent $102. Again the only reason I let it slide is because this particular date with my son meant so much to me and I didn't want to sour it complaining . (Even he was surprised that I didn't complain because I never let these things slide, in his younger days he worked in a kitchen pub and he knows what happens on a busy day back there so he always cringes when I complain. ) He admitted I would have been totally justified wth the $15 calamari at the very least. I will be posting this review on all sites I can find, possibly Management can issue me some kind of gift card I can give to my son to put towards a future visit. If that is done I promise to update this and all reviews accordingly that the Management ensures customer service is followed up on. I will be watching for a reply to a review site and I can be reached at 1tla65@gmail.com Edit: 1. I changed email address and 2. Management has contacted me via email and I will be talking to him soon.

We arrived on time and waited maybe 5 minutes before being seated. All the outdoor tables were full so the two of us sat at a low 4-top inside not far from the kitchen. Water was brought right away. Our server then took our drink, appetizer and entree orders. We each had a pint of Stella beer on draft and we shared an order of their Focaccia bread, served with butter and a dish of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The beer was cold and because it was draft, not from a green bottle, no skunk smell or taste :) The Focaccia bread isn't what we make in the States, but it was find. More of a soft, yet dense bread, topped with herbs. For $3 CAN, it was a deal. Later on, the Casesar salad was brought out. It was a generous portion and was plenty for the two of us to split. The dressing was tasty as was the shaved Parmesan cheese and the house made croutons. Later, our Cannelloni entree came. It was in an oval dish that had been baked. The full order came with 2 Cannellonis. Here again, plenty for two people to share. It was stuffed with a meat and cheese mixture. We were too full to be tempted by their dessert menu. Our friends arrive from the US in a couple of days, so we've made another reservation here at Portofino for the four of us. The only downside to Portofino was that it is popular and busy, so it was a bit loud inside.
