Dans l'ensemble, Cafe Gentile est perçu comme une adresse italienne de grande qualité sur la West Island et à DDO, avec une ambiance chaleureuse, une décoration soignée et un cadre propice au brunch, au déjeuner ou au dîner. Le service est fréquemment loué pour son accueil, son attention et son efficacité, même lorsque le restaurant est très fréquenté. La carte propose une variété de pizzas, de plats de veau, de poissons et de pâtes, présentés avec soin et préparés avec des ingrédients frais. Les plats principaux et les antipasti obtiennent de nombreux compliments, bien que certaines portions puissent sembler plus petites et que des substitutions ne conviennent pas à tout le monde. Les desserts et les pâtisseries, ainsi que le café et les biscuits, récoltent aussi des éloges pour leur fraîcheur et leur qualité. Le niveau sonore peut être élevé et le bruit de la musique est un point mentionné par quelques visiteurs. Globalement, malgré quelques critiques sur le prix et les portions, l'expérience est décrite comme chaleureuse et mémorable, et beaucoup recommandent Cafe Gentile pour le brunch et le dîner, en promettant de revenir.
Finally, a cafe in the West Island with a classy & unique vibe with great service. Was served by Bella who made our night extra special; thank you Bella!
I finally made it to Café Gentile for brunch, & it was well worth the wait.
It was quite busy when I arrived, but I was seated at the bar, which worked perfectly since I was dining alone. Serena (I hope I'm spelling her name correctly) was working behind the bar & was absolutely lovely - warm, personable, & always smiling. I ordered the Avocado Crostini, a Gentile Spritz, & a latte. Everything was fresh & delicious, & the latte was excellent.
Since I hadn't yet tried their dinner menu, I made a reservation & returned with my husband. Once again, the restaurant was very busy, which says a lot. We were greeted warmly by the hostess & shown to our table promptly. The atmosphere is inviting & cozy, with great music that adds to the overall experience.
Our server, Bella, was attentive without being intrusive - the perfect balance. For appetizers, I had the Artichoke Crostini & my husband ordered the special (Argentine shrimp with quinoa). Both were beautifully presented & full of flavor. For mains, I chose the Grilled Branzino, which was perfectly cooked, & my husband had the Madison Square Garden pizza, which he thoroughly enjoyed.
We ended the evening with a brownie topped with marshmallow & vanilla gelato - a sweet & satisfying finish. Thank you to Serena for the thoughtful treat.
Between Serena & Bella, the service was outstanding on both visits. Café Gentile delivers not only excellent food but also a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to return.
Highly recommended for both brunch & dinner in the West Island.

So we were at Gentile West Island yesterday evening with a group of about twenty. For most of us it was the first time at the West Island location. We are big fans of the other two already. This place gets a 5 star rating on all counts. We had a variety of appetizers (they kept coming) that were excellent. The main meal (veal sacalopinni limone) was fantastic. The variety of desserts were also great. Now lets add an amazing ambiance (imagine this was a week day), an amazing decor, the service is excellent (Bella is great) & the host, owner Anthony Gentile is great. Add to this: ample & free parking. Don't take my word on this, check it out yourself. I would make reservations!

First time going to Gentile in the West Island & I absolutely loved it. The food was amazing, the cocktails were to die for & the decor was just stunning. Such an amazing atmosphere & the staff was on point. Bella served us & was such a delight, made the best first impression to this restaurant. She made very good recommendations & checked in on us plenty of times throughout our night. I will definitely be coming back 🌟
From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm & welcoming. The staff was incredibly accommodating, making the whole experience feel effortless & enjoyable. Our waitress, Bella, was outstanding, her service was attentive, friendly, & you can truly see her passion for what she does. She made our visit exceptional. Congratulations on the new location, Cent'anni!
