First time visiting this place for cafe/restaurant style experience & was disappointed by what I received as food taste Ordered the veal with side of baby potatoes & vegetable & found it very average at best. For the price I expected better quality meal with larger portions.
Nice decor but if you're going there to eat a great tasting meal that's not what you'll get. At best average tasting but it will cost you over 100$ a person for a drink & a main course.
We came to try the new Gentile on sources. Its a real wow! The decor is real feel Florence Italy. The food & desserts are home made Sicilian. Their mother makes all the biscottis & lemon drops... with love & you can taste it.
A charming spot with beautiful decor & a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The service really stood out - friendly, attentive, & genuinely made the experience enjoyable. The food was decent, though not particularly memorable , it's still a lovely place to visit for the ambiance & great service. Ps it's not the gentile on chabanel, it's totally different & you need reservations more than a week.

Cute spot with really nice decor & a cozy atmosphere. The service was great, friendly, attentive, & made the experience enjoyable. The food was okay, but nothing particularly memorable. I wouldn't go out of my way for the food alone, but it's still a nice place to visit for the ambiance & service.
First visit to the DDO location & it did not disappoint. I've been to Westmount & Chabanel many times, & this one absolutely lives up to the standard.
Beautiful decor & a great vibe right when you walk in.
We had a great dinner with fabulous, friendly service from start to finish. The Caesar salad was fresh & really tasty, & the artichoke appetizer was absolutely delicious.
The Charred Up pizza with fresh mutz, parlour's sauce, dry cured house pepperoni, & Calabrian chilli flakes was perfect. Also had a great arrabbiata margarita.
Beautiful atmosphere. The decor is awesome. Went on a Sunday morning (8am ish). The choice of music was awesome. Slightly too loud for a Sunday morning. Unfortunately, No Pancakes before 9am. 😥
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.
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!
Lunch was great! Tastefully decorated establishment, rich decor that sets a comfortable atmosphere. Food was fresh, great ingredients & selection. Service staff is quick, friendly & knowledgeable, Great place for relaxed lunch. Loved it, will come again.
