Authentique café italien avec un décor qui n'a probablement pas changé d'un poil depuis les années 1950. Accueil sympathique & excellent espresso.

Passage obligatoire dans ce café authentique à chaque fois que je vais dans la Petite Italie. Une bonne ambiance de café de quartier avec un personnel chaleureux. Il existe beaucoup de cafés à Montréal, mais d'aussi bons, c'est rare !

Recommandations : espresso & caffe di crema

Italians, Senegalese, French, Iranians, Cubans, Algerians, Bolivians, all true, hard-core Montrealers will tell you that coffee here is excellent,a thousand times better than Starbucks, not a drop of pretentiousness & often a discrete elegance that only time & tradition can create. Their prosciutto & fromage sandwich, with all its marinated vegetables will make you feel that you are Sophia Loren or Marcelo Mastroianni in a secret visit to Montreal.

Old school caffe & it was the only place I got good espresso. No other hotel, restaurant or depanneur was close. Sat outside & enjoyed the weather. A great start to the morning.
