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

I adore creamy pasta, but I had the worst I have ever ordered from a restaurant here. It came recommended to us, we were very disappointed, we couldn't eat much of it.

Loved my experience there. The food & ambiance were really nice. The reason I'm writing this review is because of the servers. The service was impeccable. They were genuinely sweet & respectful all along. I misunderstood one of the ingredients so I couldn't eat the plate. They were super understanding & didn't even charge me for it. I really appreciated the gesture, thank you again. Would totally recommend this place.

I was really disappointed with my experience here.
I ordered the Sicilian crostini, which was described with ingredients like roasted bell peppers, pesto, & other toppings. What I actually received was just toasted bread with a blended spread & a small amount of cheese. There were no visible roasted vegetables or distinct toppings as described - it felt more like a purée spread than a composed dish. For around $18, it didn't feel like good value at all.
I also ordered a Caesar-style salad with chicken, & it was equally underwhelming. The greens were served in very large, uneven pieces, with minimal dressing & no croutons, despite being listed. The overall presentation & execution didn't resemble a proper Caesar salad - it felt incomplete & poorly assembled.
In total, I paid about $58, & the food simply didn't match the descriptions or expectations set by the menu. I don't mind paying for quality, but I do expect accuracy & consistency in what's being advertised.
I would strongly recommend that the restaurant provide clearer descriptions & ensure the dishes reflect what is listed, so customers know what they are actually ordering.

Visited Montreal & my friend highly recommended this place & it did not disappoint. Amazing pasta, delicious appetizers & the coffee is a must try along with a Zeppole! Service was excellent but make sure you make a reservations as this place gets busy fast for lunch or dinner! Located 15 minutes from the airport!

Cafe Gentile was recommended to me & my fiancé to provide catering for our recent wedding, & we could not have been happier with the result. The food was absolutely incredible, & the service & attention that the catering team provided to us were exceptional. Every single person at our wedding commented on how delicious the food was. The eggplant parm has quickly become one of my personal favourites. We will absolutely be returning to Gentile (most likely the DDO location) whenever we find ourselves back in Montreal.
