Review Summary

Reviews for Cafe Gentile consistently highlight a cozy, welcoming atmosphere and friendly, attentive service, with many praising delicious food and good coffee; standout items mentioned include the STK wrap, linguine, a goat cheese steak sandwich, zeppoli, and a cappuccino, while some notes suggest the menu could be clearer on prices and that a grilled cheese could use sharper cheese and a cappuccino could use a stronger coffee flavor; the cafe feels like a home away from home, often busy but maintaining a warm energy, with several diners calling it among the best spots in Montreal for sandwiches and coffee, and a reminder that it is closed from July to August.

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.

My first time in Canada & I am so thankful we made a pit stop at this quaint eatery! The staff were extremely kind & hospitable & went the extra mile to make our experience lovely. The food was to die for, the atmosphere is fun, but the staff made this one of our favorite lunches of all time. We will definitely be back if we visit Montreal in the future!

I tried a cannoli... then I bought all they had left (6). They make excellent cannoli. The place was busy at lunchtime, but the service was fast.
