My first impression walking into the restaurant is that the noise level was high.
It only got louder as the evening progressed.

The food was mediocre & frankly overpriced. My companion & I shared the ricotta crostini appetizer. It was basically a slice of toasted bread with some ricotta drizzled with truffle honey. Nothing special at all. I had the gnocchi special with the lamb ragu. I was not impressed. My companion had the gnocchi with the tomato sauce that was better, but still not great. I must add that the portions were generous.

The best part of the meal was the dessert - a pistachio & hazelnut cheesecake. It was delicious.

The service was okay. The servers are all young & inexperienced.

The cocktails are overpriced. $19 for an espresso martini! That's an exaggerated price. This is DDO not some trendy bar in the heart of the city.

First time at Gentile's DDO dinner on Saturday night. As we walked in , the ambiance & decor was wonderful. Started with Calamari & roasted artichoke which was to die for. Main dishes cavateli with rapini & sausage, veal limoni, ravioli & saltiboca were delicious. & of course the Pizza is amazing. Thanks to the entire staff especially our waiter Charles.

Café Gentile in both DDO & Westmount is truly a standout. The food is simply amazing, Every dish feels thoughtfully prepared & high quality.

The ambiance is warm & inviting,What really elevates the experience, though, is the exceptional hospitality. Anthony, offers such a genuine & warm welcome that you instantly feel like a valued guest.

Overall, Café Gentile delivers not just incredible food, but a complete dining experience that keeps you coming back.

I recently discovered Gentile Café in DDO & I honestly can't say enough good things about it. We first went for brunch two Sundays ago, & I was so impressed that I practically begged my husband to go back that same week for dinner on Friday night.

From the moment you walk in, the ambiance is warm, inviting, & beautifully thought out. There's such a great attention to detail-not just in the décor, but even in the little touches that made my kids feel so welcome & comfortable. It really made the whole experience feel special for the entire family.

The food is absolutely incredible. Everything we tried, both at brunch & dinner, was fresh, flavorful, & clearly made with care. You can tell there's real passion behind the menu.

But what truly elevates the experience is the service. The staff is attentive, friendly, & genuinely makes you feel taken care of without being overbearing.

Going back on Friday night was exactly what I needed to unwind after a long work week-it was everything I had hoped for & more.

Gentile Café has quickly become one of our favorite spots. Highly recommend!

I live 5 min away from the DDO location, but I would drive 40 min to go the Westmount location. The slowest service Ive received in a cafe. At the end of the brunch, my family was in the car waiting for 10 min & I was standing up with my coat still waiting to pay. I also asked for a small espresso cup with frothed milk (for my 3 year old daughter to feel that she was also drinking a cappuccino) they charged me 3$ for it..

Absolutely loved it! I was a client 37 years ago on park avenue & witnessed how hard this family worked in building this exceptional empire. Today I brought my daughter who is 23 she wanted to go for her birthday lunch & was wowed. St. Leonard to DDO it was worth the drive. Thank you
