Overall, Cafe Gentile is described as a warm, family friendly Italian spot with a cozy vibe, where the food is consistently praised for its pastas, pizzas, meatballs, seafood and brunch offerings, and the coffee and desserts are highlighted as standouts; the service is often friendly and attentive yet can feel uneven at times, and the atmosphere and decor create a homey, welcoming setting that brings patrons back for casual lunches, dinners, weddings or catering, while some dishes or experiences are criticized as overly sweet, underseasoned or pricey and a few comments mention slower service during peak times.

Been wanting to try this place for a while now & finally got the opportunity to! However not sure I'll be going back…. The service was great! Nothing to say on that front… but the food left a lot to be desired, order the Cacio e Pepe & a lot of my noodles were hard I figured maybe they do things more al denté here… well I was definitely sick when I got home & my stomach was not enjoying the raw pasta one bit. The restaurant was also super noisy, but I believe that was our misfortune of having a large group next to us that had been drinking quite a bit, overall decent, but nothing to write home about.
The food was great! Service was okay, nothing really bad in particular & the atmosphere is okay, I just find it a little tight in the central part of the restaurant.
Came here for a friend's birthday, & it was perfect! We shared the breakfast croissant sandwich & the ricotta crostini-both were packed with flavor. I especially loved the combination of ricotta, goat cheese, & fig jam on the crostini. That said, $16 for just a piece of toast felt a bit steep. We also shared the pancakes with the group. The orange zest sauce was absolutely delicious, though the texture of the pancakes was a little dry. Thankfully, there was plenty of maple syrup to make up for it. The atmosphere was really pleasant, & I'd love to come back to try their lunch menu.
