One of the warmest vibes in all of Westmount. Gentile is my go to brunch spot with the fam almost every weekend.

The food here was good & I really liked their truffle fries. Their prices in my opinion are a little higher than it should be but still pretty reasonable. The coffee is really good & the menu offers a wide variety. The service is friendly & quick but there have been times where they were a bit slow (maybe because we were a group of younger people but still no excuse). The place has a really nice vibe & their decor is lovely.

Recently, I went to Cafe Gentile for dinner service. I go for lunch fairly often, but it's been years since i've been there for dinner, & something has changed in the kitchen. I was honestly disappointed in the quality & flavor of the food. For the high price (200$ for 2 people), I expected more. We shared 3 appetizers + 2 pasta dishes as the main dish. Every dish except for the meatball entree was mediocre. The tomato sauce in the grilled squid was acidic & tasted like it just came out of the can. The 21$ Argula salad had a bunch of yellow, wilted leaves, like 2 tomatoes & 3 shavings of parm. & the pesto burrata pasta portion was TINY, lukewarm, & barely had any burrata on it. & it lacked a depth of flavor for 34$. It was really underwhelming. The service was very friendly, but SO slow even though it was early dinner service (like 6pm) & it wasn't even busy. After our food was served, the server never came to check on us once. We had to waive him down twice to ask for bread & to clear our plates & for the bills. The only redeeming quality this restaurant has at the moment is the atmosphere. The decor is trendy & the vibe is nice.

This restaurant is a local favourite of ours. We love sitting in the glassed in porch area 3 seasons of the year, love the food, & the inside is very cute, with nice leather benches, muted lighting, & reflective surfaces that give it a great vibe. They also have the best pistachio gelato of anywhere, & with the soft Sicilian biscotti on top, it's to die for, & you can get it to go if you're just strolling by. We reserved the inside restaurant for a function Saturday afternoon for 28 people & it went absolutely great. There were delicious appetizers (arancini, focaccia pizza, caprese skewers), great first course served family style (loved especially the endive radicchio salad & the fried calamari!) & great second courses with eggplant parmigiana, grilled branzino & vegetables, meatballs, sausage cavatelli) & for dessert our favourite gelato & biscotti. The service was great, plates cleared promptly & fresh ones brought, drinks filled, & it was a great atmosphere. We loved having the whole place so we could switch between tables & talk to each other without bothering other diners. Really, really happy with the experience! Totally recommend!

I've been ordering & going to Gentile for years... & its always been hit or miss... this time was a miss sadly... we were 3 for lunch. Vibe was good... busy ...waitress was nice. Poured us water... first thing was a dead fly/fruit fly in my friends water... rough start. Fuggeaboutit was pretty dry. Sauces couldn't quite save it. Sausage & coleslaw sandwich was very good. Other friend hand the Portuguese style chicken sandwich... said it was decent. Sexy fries were a little undercooked... but not too bad... it just became a little much when ants were crawling on our table.. ice tea was great though... had the 2.0 with the mint... there was also some dead bugs in the light fixtures... was pretty off putting ... again... ive had good & bad experiences here before... was unfortunately not up to par this time
