Caffè Italia!
Come have a café with the locals in Little Italy. Slow down & breathe & enjoy the wonderful community of Montreal. Barista Paolo is a wonderful human & gives you a warm welcome at the Caffè.

Espresso was so-so. Skip the 250ml sparkling water - it's the same price across the street for 1L.

Definitely a spot worth trying. Their cappuccino was very good. I also got their prosciutto sandwich - usually I am not a fan of prosciutto but this sadnwich was very good! & I got the mixed meat sandwich - another great contender. The bread they used for the sandwiches is light & toasty so it doesn't feel too heavy & doesn't hurt the roof of your mouth. The sandwiches don't have any sauce in them & yet they are flavourful. Next time I might ask them to make mine spicy as I was just missing some heat to round it all up.
Would recommend making a trip here. Parking was also easy to find on a Friday holiday morning. Could be busier on weekends.
