Arte & Farina shines as a bright Italian bakery and cafe where artisanal panettone is praised for its light texture and fruity notes, pastries like bomboloni and tiramisu are a treat, and the Margherita pizza and focaccia sandwiches offer comforting, flavorful bites, with excellent coffee and a welcoming atmosphere. The overall experience highlights high quality ingredients, friendly service, and a cozy setting, though a few reviews point to pricey pastries, a limited selection at times, and occasional gaps in service or value.
J'adore la façon dont les pâtes sont travaillées ici: les focaccia & pâtes à pizza sont vraiment réussies, texturées, bien dorées, pas trop craquantes, avec des garnitures goûteuses & réconfortantes, & les pâtes sablées sont fondantes sans être grasses. Coup de coeur pour la tarte à l'orange & sa légère acidité, mais ma préférence va toujours aux Zeppole crémeuses (avec le croquant de la pistache & des grains de sucre, & la fleur d'oranger) - quand elles sont disponibles!
Looks like a gentrified private equity spot with pop art slop on the walls. Doughnuts are ok, pizza looks to be frozen in batches & reheated ,since Pizza Romana on Saint Denis offers fresh same day pies I can't recommend the pizza here.
The espresso shot was pulled eloquently .

Products way too expensive & nothing of what i see regarding pastries when i see your website little thats available is nothing great in taste Much prefer to take my business over to Little Italy further down|!
Les cafés capuccinos & americanos étaient bons mais la nourriture & pâtisserie m a laissé indifférent par le look & prix , c est une boulangerie italienne supposement diversifiee mais ils n avaient pas grand chose de disponible , faudrait retourner voir un autre jour.
The best Pannetone in the city ! Punto Finale !!! The quality of all the ingredients is extraordinary. The pannetone is light as a feather & so tasty. I salute the artisan who makes these pannetone. A passionate baker who seeks excellence in his work ! Bravo, Bravo, Bravo !!!
For the past few years, we have been ordering artisanal panettone from various places, & so far, Arte & Farina is the best: fresh, the dough & fruit are exceptional. We tried all three flavors, & they're all delicious. The Margherita pizza is also excellent: flavorful, not too salty, & the crust is perfect. The service is great, Mr. Sandro had answered all my questions. Money well spent, Thank you !

Les gens de ce magasin sont très sympathiques. Le prix du Panneton est dispendieux mais sachant que le levain est très ancien pour apportez une saveur hors de l'ordinaire. Le prix en vaut pleinement la qualité du produit.
Merci!
Avec un peu de musique, italienne de la bonne nourriture, une ambiance cosy, c'est super de se retrouver dans cet endroit-là surtout quand il neige dehors & qu'il fait froid, impeccable pour travaille
They place was almost empty, but when they understood that I wanted to work from them they were not welcoming. They didn't even share their WIFI with me! I had to use my hotspot!
Also when I pay tip, I expect some kind of service. Like at least bringing my sandwich to my table rather than calling me when I'm on a meeting. Again, no one was there. I was the only customer. They were not busy.
Coffee was good thought.
The service & the atmospehre here is excellent. Most of their items are of great quality, like the pizza & the coffee. My dissapointment is with the panettone. I purchased a panettone & it lacked flavour. It's dissapointing since a small panettone is upwards of 40 dollars or so.
Discovering this place was such a happy accident. Beautiful food, desserts, & coffee in a bright & vibrant environment. I had a latte & a piece of tiramisu (YUM!). I would definitely recommend this café to anyone.
