"Il Belcanto" — Restaurant in Michoacán

A really good restaurant in our neighborhood in Felix Ireta. We spent a couple of hours enjoying a jarra de clericot, which basically is sangria, with chopped apples. We have had this before, but it had more fruit and the addition of chopped walnuts. This beverage was delicious nonetheless. We then ordered a caprese salad which was fresh and bright with a light dressing and served with garlic crostini, and their version of arancini, which the restaurant refers to as Suppli. Three large croquetas de arroz came to the table, and our first bites were good but the dish would definitely benefit from a side of marinara. The waitress was so lovely and accommodating but brought ketchup instead of salsa de tomate (tomato sauce). I then asked the waiter for salsa marinara, which he looked puzzled about, then he realized I wanted a tomato sauce. We also got a nice green salsa verde as well. Surprisingly all three sauces were delicious with the Suppli. My Frutti di Mare with homemade fettuccine was abundant with clams, mussels and shrimp. My husband’s Belcanto signature dish of chicken with pimentos in a cream sauce hit the spot for him. We both really enjoyed the dishes. A shout out to the bread which was a cross between focaccia and an Italian loaf. Breakfast this morning was delicious, both of us having our take home portions. The tiramisu looked delicious but there was no more room for coffee or dessert. The pleasant ambiance is indoors or out on the patio,if you choose. The walls are filled with completed puzzles of the Italian masterpieces. A really fun touch to a really nice space. WE will be back for that bottle of vino tinto and more delicious bites, and of course tiramisu and an espresso...

Iliana was an amazing host. Her English was very helpful. The Gnocchi were soft as pillows, lasagna was unbelievable, ravioli was tender and a very good red sauce. Homemade ice cream along with everything else. Very enjoyable! Don't forget the espresso and...

Me gustó, es un negocio muyyy familiar, te atienden súper!! El menú es muy concreto pero, muy bien enfocado y con buen sabor, y efectivamente con $500 comimos 2 adultos y un niño con todo y jarra de clericot, refresco, las ensaladas vienen incluidas y un postre con café, y rico!!!! No muy recomendable para carnívoros, la mayoría de los ingredientes no son proteínas, sino pastas, las carnes solo son de apoyo pero no lo principal, pero los sabores son ricosssss, un día vale la pena! El ambiente es muy rústico y te conecta con la naturaleza, un poco increíble para estar en un zona muy concurrida, pero muy agusto !!! 😊 La capacidad es como de unas 50 personas y se llena!! Vayan preparados por si les toca...
