Café Milano in St-Leonard is a popular Italian bistro with café. The specialties are sandwiches (Salcicia/ Steak/Chicken), submarines, soups and salads. Open late for the late night diners and offers what many say is "the best Italian espresso".
Reviews describe Café Milano as a legendary and historic spot with an old school vibe and a reputation for great Italian sandwiches, cannolis, and espresso, plus strong value and a welcoming atmosphere that invites conversations and late night visits. The coffee and desserts are frequently praised, with several describing the café as a reliable place to meet up or grab a bite, and the sandwiches and cannolis often highlighted as standout items. The ambiance and a large terrace are noted positives, though some reviewers warn that the interior can be noisy or dim and that cleanliness needs attention, with one or two saying the place isn’t as fresh as in the past. Service is described as friendly and prompt at times, but other comments point to inconsistent experiences, long waits, or miscommunications during busy periods. Parking is occasionally mentioned as a challenge, but the overall sentiment remains affectionate, presenting Café Milano as a classic, comforting Italian cafe that draws visitors for coffee, paninis, and sweets despite the caveats.
I donut usually leave a review but I canoli do this once. Haha One of the best places in Canada. Got crispy chicken sandwich & a cannoli. It was God sent. & its family owned. How amazing. Theres veggie & beyond meat options.
My family & I were staying at the hotel across the street & we were so glad this place was close by. The chocolate croissant is delicious & their coffee is 10/10. I also tried the tiramisù & it was soooo good. It gets busy later in the day, but it didn't stop us from coming here twice a day during our stay.
Great food & service. They were mindful, even telling the kitchen & addressing my name that I was here & waiting. It's clear they care for every client that comes in.
Best place for a quick coffee grab or if you want to sit with your friends. Best thing that they have an extra seats available outdoor in summer so you can work on your computers or have a fresh tuna sandwich.
Salade très basic, les rondelles d'oignon par contre était délicieuses, pichet de sangria était bien alcoolisé pour un prix très abordable! Ça mérite un bon 7/10
Great place, with delicious sandwiches, the bread is crispy, the vegetables were fresh, & the meat was nicely grilled. The drink selection is wide, & their summer special-coffee fusion was delicious.

Very loud little restaurant. Steak sandwich was tasty, though contained very little steak. Staff need to ask if want peppers on top as the chicken sandwich was too spicy for son. Desserts look delicious. Reasonably priced.
Back in the 90's, this was the best place to get an Italian sandwich in St. Leonard. Be it steak, sausage, veal, or chicken, the sandwiches were fresh, delicious & reasonably priced. No more as times have changed. I ordered a veal & a steak sandwich yesterday. Also ordered a cappuccino while I waited only for it to be served when my order was ready. Bread was very stale. Toppings were no longer generous as they once were.
