Google gave the restaurant café a rating of 4.6 stars, & I would want to go check it out. I've never been there before. I had placed an order for green salad & veau cutlets. I was somewhat underwhelmed by the veau's thin slicing & small quantities. I give the veau cutlets 1 star, thus I don't understand why they give it 4.6 stars. The food was overpriced & of poor quality. I'm not recommended to eat there.

Café authentique ! La nourriture était bonne. Par contre, j'ai été décu de la gestion de mes allergies. J'ai mentionné au serveur que j'avais des allergies & lorsqu'il a été s'informer des ingrédients contenus dans une sauce, il est revenu à la table en me disant qu'elle ne contenait''que de la mangue'. Après une longue discussion (j'étais celtique), j'ai finalement su que la sauce était beaucoup plus complexe que cela & contenait l'un des allergènes dangereux pour moi.

I had an amazing 10/10 experience at Café Gentile! The place is incredibly cozy, & the service was top-notch, the waiter gave me some fantastic suggestions that really blew me away. Everything I tried was delicious, from the STK wrap & Linguini to the must-try Zeppoli. I finished it all off with a perfect cappuccino. If you're looking for a delicious meal in a great setting, I highly encourage everyone to try the food here, it's amazing!

Une institution à Montréal pour les meilleurs cafés italiens, les viennoiseries sont aussi délicieuses & la terrasse est ensoleillée, de quoi bien commencer la journée, comme en Italie !

I love coming to this café - the atmosphere is warm, the service is always kind, & there's something special about the energy here.
The staff is respectful & welcoming, & you can tell it's a family-run place with heart.
It's become one of my favorite little stops lately - not just for the coffee. 😊

I stopped in for a sandwich to go. The fried chicken cutlet was moist. The toppings were good especially the spicy sauce. It makes it messy to eat. I got my food quick. The price of the food seems reasonable. They over charge for the water. They probably get busy at lunch, I beat the rush. Old school Italian cafe with sanguich.
