Authentic Italian coffee, delicious fresh sandwiches, & a warm atmosphere. The espresso was excellent, & the Sicilian biscotti is a must-try, perfect with a coffee! Friendly staff, great service, & quality food. Highly recommend!

Sandwich & coffee with taxes & tips will bring you almost to 30$ but you'll be met with quality as to what an Italian espresso bar can offer.

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.

Simply amazing Italian cafe in the heart of MTL's garment district. They've been around longer than I've been alive. Serving some of the tastiest food, the best coffee & iced tea, all with prompt & curteous service. You get a total NYC deli / cafe vibe here at lunch; whether you're quickly dipping in to grab a sandwich between meetings or lounging around playing pool / chit chatting on the outside terrace. This is the hub of the "schmata" life on Chabanel. If you're in the garment trade, you know Gentile, & you love'em. A veritable institution.
