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.

It was meh meaning horrible... nothing special about this place. I can hear the kitchen staff screaming at each other loll.. seems like a jungle. I'd say the worst place I've ever had to come in for lunch. First & last time ever. 0 rating if there was an option.

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.

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.

First time ay Gentile's. Went for a team lunch & had an awesome experience. Bella our waitress was nothing less than amazing & we shared many laughs. The cutlet sandwich ( added marinated eggplant) with a side of arugula salad was DELICIOUS! The pizza so Yummy! & the latte's OMG had to have 2. Will definitely return!

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.

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

Met my friend at Cafe Gentile West Island for a quick lunch. I came with an open mind due to the restaurant only being open 1 week. Both my friend & I were so impressed with the service & food!! Haven't stopped thinking about the mushroom pizza !!! Cannot wait to go back!!!

This restaurant is what the West Island has been missing! Somewhere that we can go for a coffee/ breakfast/lunch/ or dinner- for the whole family, group of friends or a nice date night. The staff is friendly & amazing, the atmosphere is vibrant & beautiful. The food, as we have come to expect from Gentile's is always delicious! Looking forward to so many more visits.

We were at the newly opened Gentile's for lunch today! It was awesome! We all enjoyed our meals & the friendly wait staff. Also, the decor & layout of the restaurant is outstanding! Welcome to the West Island, we waited way, way, way too long for your arrival!!!

I visited this resturant / coffee shop & had one of the worst dining experiences I can remember in the past 45 years in Montreal.
From the start, we were rushed to order immediately. After barely taking my second bite, we were told to pay. Even while still drinking our coffee, the manager came over & said we had to leave because their lunch service was starting. Wr were there for brunch at 10 am.

The setup is confusing - the sign says coffee shop on the right, restaurant on the left, but they mix everything & clearly don't know how to manage it.
The female manager was extremely rude, telling us to'go.' When I complained to the male manager, his response was dismissive:'Go write bad reviews, we have 200 good ones.'

This attitude was shockingly unprofessional , arrogant & impolite. We were treated with no respect, rushed out, & made to feel unwelcome. I do not recommend this place at all. I recommend pigeon cafe at list they are so polite & nice .
