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 recently visited Café Milano & ordered a cappuccino & a Nutella lobster tail for takeaway. The coffee shop has a charming, old Italian style which adds to its appeal. The cappuccino was excellent, perfectly crafted. The Nutella lobster tail tasted good but was quite sweet. Service was relatively fast, making for an overall pleasant experience. There were lots of people & place was loud.
On June 18th my husband & I went to milano's on 3352 st.Martin .O. & I ordered a boccochini salad with eggplants inside, & my husband ordered a regular salad with hot peppers inside. & didn't get the eggplants & my husband did not get his hot peppers, so I went to see them at the counter, & the young lady was orguing, saying we never mentioned them. & I said, yes we did, I told her it was up to you to check it. & I told them, I will go & see Marco the owner, the one in st. Leonard, about the service. I told them, I know. The owner very well. It wasn't pleasant the service there. Today.
J'y suis allé dîner & j'ai été agréablement suprise! Les choix sont variés & tous très bon! Les prix sont très raisonnables aussi! Une petite ambiance légère, la terrasse permet de prendre un bon petit lunch au frais

I've only ever had food delivered from this place so I can't speak for the service or atmosphere. However, their sandwiches are very good & filling. You can customize the ingredients you want. Prices are exorbitant though especially considering that no side dish is included with the sandwich. Also, I understand that it is a café, not a restaurant, but with that being said their menu is quite limited. Their coffee is definitely great. Their mini cannolis don't have much flavour so that was a disappointment. Maybe their regular cannolis are better?
