We wanted something local & was recommended. It was our first time trying them for dinner. We were looked after by our server Marina. Friendly & very warm. I have to say every resto should have a Marina. Was very helpful with suggestions & her likes of what to consider ordering.
We started with the artichoke crostini. Honestly insanely good. I had the mushroom pasta. Different mushrooms with homemade pasta. My only mistake after finishing my pasta is that i didnt ask for bread to soak up the left over broth. I would have licked the bowl ...
My gf had the seafood pasta.. she, who has lived in Italy was beyond impressed
The italian names for each sounds alot better but im keeping it simple.
We finished with a shared Tiramisu which was great. She had a glass of wine & i had to Italian beers. On an extra note my gf is alergic to raw garlic. After speaking with Marina, the chef came out to discuss the dishes & options available. That was a class move.
This is old school Sicilian cooking. We were so impressed with the food & service we will definitely be back. By the way, they have a pizza place next door that is theirs as well that you can order. We are heading there to try it as if its close we have found a new gem

We went with friends last night & had a great time. My fennel & citrus salad was fresh & flavourful, the lasagna was very good & my fiance's pizza was amazing. We will come back for sure

Waitress was very very nice & genuine. However, the food was very disappointing, especially given the prices…pizza had hardly any sauce or cheese & very dry. The New York steak was very chewy & came with no vegetables at all & a little mash potatoes, for 65$… not worth it.

I used to only get pizza from this place, but I decided to try it for a late lunch with my partner. We had Nonna Teresa's meatball, which was amazing. It totally took me back to my own Nonna's kitchen, eating her meatballs.

We also had a delicious beet salad. My partner was actually surprised since they usually don't like beets.

My partner got Rigatoni Bolognese, & I had the Gnocchi Pomodoro. Both dishes were good, but I think we were still most impressed by the meatball.

My partner did feel a little ignored by our waiter since they seemed more attentive to other tables around us. But still, I'm looking forward to going back to try a bunch of other dishes on the menu.

This review is late but awesome. We have been coming to Gentile's for years & love it there. It has been a consistent place we go to where we know we are going to get the best service, delicious food & great coffee! Ana, Mike, & the rest of the family there always make us feel at home & so comfortable. For a place that is always buzzing, they never cut back on service or quality. If you want to book large groups they make the process easy & the fact that they have their pizza parlour next door is an added bonus (especially for our kids). If you want a proper Montreal experience with class, check it out!

We dropped by for a slice of pizza but ended up sitting down & staying. The pizza was mediocre but the service was outstanding & the atmosphere was so fun & warm we didn't want to leave.
