I stopped there last Saturday. Service was amazing. I ordered a cappuccino & grill cheese. The manager was very nice & offered us a lemon donut for free on the way out. I'll definitely be back there.

I like the place for the vibe & the service. The food & coffee not so much. I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich that they were happy to customize (+++ service) - it was okay - basic - could be improved by using better cheese - something less processed.
I ordered a cappuccino & was a bit disappointed- i couldn't taste the coffee - i think the milk to coffee ratio could be improved.

That said- I appreciated the speedy service & the good vibes this place has to offer.

Gentile is a 5 star establishment from the service, to the quality of the food. They always get everything right! The salad & sandwich combination (Chicken Cutlet or cheese steak) is unbeatable! The iced tea is the best one in the city.
