Overall, reviews describe Cafe Gentile as a place with warm ambience, attentive and friendly service, and high quality Italian cooking across locations and meals from brunch to dinner. The menu is praised for fresh ingredients, flavorful pastas, pizzas, seafood, and comforting desserts, with many noting generous portions and thoughtful presentation. The coffee program and cocktails receive strong appreciation, and the atmosphere is frequently described as lively yet welcoming, making it suitable for family meals, date nights, or catching up with friends. While some visits mention a busy or noisy environment and at times variable pacing or value, most reviewers feel the experience remains appealing and worth returning for, often highlighting the consistency and hospitality as standout features.

1.0

My friends & I had a very disappointing experience at Café Gentile West Island. From the moment we sat down, the staff made us feel rushed. They brought the bill before we even finished our meal, & after we paid, they asked us to leave even though we had only been there for about an hour & a half. We couldn't relax or enjoy our time.
The sandwiches were also nothing special-very simple & not worth the price.
When we tried to speak with the manager, she was rude. It felt like they cared more about making money than treating customers with respect. Overall, it was an unpleasant visit, & I definitely wouldn't recommend this café. For our next gathering, we are planning to go somewhere more pleasant.

Cafe Gentile in the West Island is absolutely fantastic. The food is incredible, fresh, flavorful, & clearly made with care. The overall dining experience is just as impressive, with warm service & a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. I genuinely can't wait to go back. Highly recommend!

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 .
