Review Summary

Reviews describe Caffè Italia as a beloved, old school Italian cafe with a warm neighborhood vibe and a standout coffee program. The cappuccino and other espressos are repeatedly praised for balance and crema, with many saying it is among the best in the city. Cannoli, biscotti and fresh pastries pair well with drinks, and the panini and croissants are also highly recommended. The atmosphere is described as authentic and inviting, with lingering aromas of roasted beans and a sense of being in a traditional Italian cafe. Service is usually fast and friendly, though peak times can bring longer waits. The place is regarded as a local institution and a must visit for true Italian coffee and atmosphere, offering good value without sacrificing quality. While a few notes mention uneven service on busy days, the overall sentiment highlights top quality coffee, delicious treats, and a nostalgic, old world charm.

Spremuta, pas fraîchement pressée comme avant 😞 pas bon,
Panettone pas frais : sec : donc pas bon, coupé d'avance, j'ai vu un sac où ils sont tous coupés d'avance donc ils sèchent : déception ☹?
Très décevant comparativement à quand Giuseppe & Gino lavorano li 🤩💖

Svp redresser le tir pour l'amour de la qualité

Per che sia più italiano o come in Italia per favore

Been wanting to try this spot for a long time & I finally did. Easily best cappuccino in Mtl! Also the cortado is tasty. Tried the panini that the barista suggested & it was super delicious as well as the cheese ciabatta. The service is friendly fast & efficient & the cannolis were fresh & out of this world !

Très bon cafés. Service rapide & courtois. Paninis délicieux préparés frais. Le pain à une belle croûte mince & croustillante mais reste moelleux & aérien. Un must de la Petite Italie!

J'ai bu cappuccino seulement, pourtant je vais y visiter une autre fois afin d'essayer autres choses. Merci, grazie

Leur cappuccino est vite fait, bien fait, sans fla fla superflu, & absolument délicieux. C'est le cappuccino à la fois le plus simple & le mieux maîtrisé que j'ai pu goûter à Montréal. La base de café est équilibrée, avec rien qui dépasse, excepté peut-être une pointe d'amertume supplémentaire qui est tout à fait stimulante & appropriée. La mousse de lait est à la fois riche & légère, saupoudrée de juste assez de cacao pour faire ressortir les autres saveurs sans les éclipser.

Les gens qui ne connaissent que Starbucks devraient venir ici pour découvrir c'est quoi un vrai café bien fait.

5 étoiles bien méritées!👍

Comme à chaque visite, le café plus précisément le cappuccino est d'une qualité supérieure. Le personnel est toujours souriant & offre un service rapide & efficace. Il peut arriver qu'il y ait beaucoup d'attente, puisque c'est un café extrêmement populaire. Toutefois, l'attente & le détour en valent largement la peine grâce à l'excellente qualité du café. Je recommande cet endroit à 100 %, un véritable petit bijou.

Caffè Italia has that perfect Italian café vibe. The smell of roasted beans, the people, & the energy make it feel like a real slice of Italy in Montreal. It is the place to be if you want true Italian espresso & atmosphere.

They only serve coffee, & it is excellent. The espresso is rich & smooth, & everything tastes fresh. They also have really good panini. We tried the turkey & the mortadella, & both were delicious & well made.

A classic & authentic spot worth visiting if you want real Italian coffee & a simple but great bite in Little Italy.

I enjoyed a couple hall of fame espressos here. Service was amazing. As a visitor from Toronto, I will definitely be back next time I am in Montreal!
