Review Summary

Cafe Gentile is described as having a warm, welcoming atmosphere with stylish decor, tasty and well presented food, and friendly, attentive service that many reviews note across breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. Reviewers frequently praise the pizza, pasta and desserts, the quality of coffee, and the overall vibe that makes it feel like a new local anchor. The service is often highlighted as excellent with staff who are attentive and helpful, though a few notes mention noise levels and a sense that the ambiance can be loud. Some feedback points to inconsistencies such as lukewarm coffee or missing decaf options, occasional value concerns, and portions that vary by location. A minority of diners report issues with a dish or two, such as a chicken cutlet that did not meet expectations, but these are outweighed by the many positive comments. Overall, Cafe Gentile comes across as a standout in the area for food, drink, and atmosphere, with guests looking forward to returning.

Great experience - Excellent food & portions were more generous than St. Catherine location (I was disappointed with my last visit).
Had the Steak & Cheese sandwich with a 1/2 portion of Rigatoni Rosé.
Service was outstanding - everybody was friendly from start to end.
Definitely a great spot for lunch of a quick coffee.
The bar area is beautiful. Nice decor overall.

I heard about this place through word of mouth & decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, from the moment we entered until we left, the service was almost nonexistent even though we had a reservation, we were kept waiting by the hostess.
Our waiter did not check on the table, did not offer suggestions, & there was no follow-up during the meal. Food was delivered by runners or chefs without any greeting or'bon appétit.' No one offered dessert or coffee, & overall there was a complete lack of hospitality & attention.
What made the experience more disappointing is that the tip starts automatically at 18%, which feels forced considering the level of service provided.
Gentile Restaurant the only truly positive part of the evening was the taste of the food, which was genuinely good. With proper service, this place could be excellent.

The stunning architecture makes Cafe Gentile a fun place to go for brunch, lunch or coffee. However, both coffees that I ordered ( Latte & Cappucino) arrived luke-warm. The food was ok, the service attentive but clearly trying to clear the table fast (Sunday morning). I have had better coffee, but the atmosphere would motivate me to come back.

Incredible service Jess was a fantastic hostess. Food was really good. Only downside was no decafe coffee. For those of you who are caffeine sensitive this was a drag. It would be nice to enjoy a nice dessert with a coffee without the caffeine. Also bought take out...everything very good.
Hopefully they add decafe coffee to their menu.

Beautiful atmosphere, delicious coffee, clean & private bathrooms, service is decent & attentive. For the price is worth it, I rather spend the extra money & come here over any other coffee shop.

Ordered their caesar salad with chicken cutlet & the chicken came out pink with bloody vessels in it & was the furthest thing from crispy like a chicken cutlet is supposed to be. The chicken was actually soggy from being drenched in so much oil omg it was so nasty that I'm still thinking about it hours later. I asked the waitress about the pink chicken with bloody vessels & she said that it's normal. She said everyone always asks why the chicken looks like that but assured me it was cooked through. Despite her assurances, the chicken was inedible to me. Coffee was good. The rest of the food we ordered was OK. Service was mid. I just can't get over the pink & soggy chicken cutlet.

Café Gentile in the West Island is a great spot. I had an excellent coffee, rich & well balanced. They also offer breakfast options, which is a nice bonus. A solid place to stop for a good coffee & a quick bite.

What kind of restaurant runs out of food at 1pm? I wanted to go for lunch & as I arrived, I was told there's no food only coffee & desserts. I left shocked.
Also, there's no dinner service, yet they are booked in evenings...
They told me it's only for family & friends. Very disappointed. They should focus on their customers, especially since they just opened.

We came here for an afternoon coffee, had the pistachio cookie which was delicious. Great atmosphere & service, happy to have a new restaurant/cafe in the West Island.

I stopped by this café/restaurant today & had a great experience. I ordered a coffee, & it turned out to be excellent-rich, smooth, & clearly made with care. The whole atmosphere had a warm, positive energy that made it easy to relax & enjoy the moment.
The service was equally impressive. The waiter greeted me with a friendly smile, was polite throughout, & checked in at just the right times. Everything was served in a timely manner without feeling rushed.
Overall, it was a great visit, & I'm already planning to return soon, especially to try their lunch menu. Highly recommended!

Stopped by for a quick coffee at the bar. Nice to see a restaurant in the West Island with constant line up. My cappuccino was excellent. I will have to come back for lunch

Just left gentile West Island , it was 12 on 10!! The staff, the decor, the food, the coffee & of course, the incredible chocolate chip cookie for my daughter, all flawless. A true West Island gem, we are lucky to have them in the neighborhood.

Went to Gentile West Island this past weekend to take out coffees for my family. Everything was great! Excited for this new option in the west. Looking forward to going back for dinner on the restaurant side in the future!
