Review Summary

Taken together, reviews portray Arte & Farina as a bright, cozy Italian bakery and cafe with a strong focus on authentic pastries and high quality ingredients. The panettone is repeatedly praised for being light and flavorful, with several tasters calling it among the best in the city, and the desserts such as bomboloni and tiramisu are noted as standout items. The coffee and espresso are described as solid, and the Margherita pizza is praised for its flavorful topping and perfect crust, while the porchetta sandwich on focaccia with a zesty pickled spread also gets compliments. The atmosphere is described as pleasant and welcoming with Italian music and ample natural light, ideal for a casual bite, a coffee break, or a relaxed brunch. Service receives mixed marks: many reviewers find it friendly and helpful, while a few report inconsistent attentiveness, especially when the cafe is quiet or busy, and there are occasional critiques about price, limited lunch options, or items that do not meet expectations.

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!

Arte & Farina is a true gem for anyone craving authentic Italian bakery & café fare.

The menu is a dream for pastry lovers, featuring standout items like bomboloni (Italian doughnuts filled with custard or Nutella), Roman-style pizzas, & focaccia sandwiches-especially the porchetta, served on fresh focaccia with a zesty pickled spread.

The service is friendly, quick, & informative, making you feel right at home. The café's ambiance is perfect for a relaxed brunch, a coffee break, or picking up some artisanal Italian products for your pantry.

Overall, Arte & Farina is a must-visit for anyone seeking a taste of Italy in Montreal. Whether you're in the mood for a sweet treat, a savory sandwich, or simply a cozy spot to enjoy a coffee, this place delivers with passion & authenticity.

Porchetta sandwich is delicious. It's served on a delicious focaccia bread & a pickled spread $15. Juicy, tender, sumptuous but a tad messy to eat. Get extra napkins! Only available on Sunday (or weekends - I forgot what he said). The pizzas looked good as well - next time.
Service is informative & friendly. Lots of other curated Italian products for the pantry.

Visite du 22 avril 2022: pour emporter Première chose: excellent service, sympathique, tout en sourire & très courtois. Nous avons pris: 2 morceaux de pizza (un avec fromage bleu & l'autre margherita), 1 focaccia "mortadella roquette fromage, 2 bombolone (nutella & abricot) ainsi que 2 thés vert "citron". Tout cela pour un tarif très acceptable de 43$ TTC C'était un "lunch" parfait. Produits frais, de qualité. Courrez vous chercher des bombolone. Celui aux abricots: DIVIN. & mention spéciale au nouvel emplacement avec la cuisine ouverte. Génial de voir Sandro à l'oeuvre. Maintenant, reste à voir les impacts sur notre taille dans la prochaine année.....on y retournera assurément.

The pizza is baked on a high-sided rectangular pan, with the cheese cubes piled on the edge melting into a golden crispy crust, & the four corners are especially delicious. After tasting it, you may find that the pizza crust tastes a like focaccia.

Un endroit vraiment cozy & moderne où on trouve autant des mets prêt à manger (sandwich, salades, etc) que des aliments fins & spécialisés (beaucoup de types de produits !), qui sont majoritairement ou tous locaux. Je n'ai rien acheté à ma première visite, mais j'ai eu la chance de poser plusieurs questions (commander à l'avance au téléphone, types de produits spécifiques disponibles, etc) à la demoiselle à la caisse/acceuil. Elle était vraiment fantastique, très gentille & sympathique, & à répondu à toutes mes questions. Je compte y retourner avec ma partenaire pour prendre le dîner bientôt, & on pense se commander de la focaccia de temps en temps.
