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.
Caffè Italia is a charming, old-school gem that has stood the test of time-quite literally, since 1956. The moment you step inside, you're greeted by a cozy, nostalgic atmosphere that feels like a slice of authentic Italian tradition.
I ordered their cannoli & latte, & both were absolute perfection,a perfect pairing.
Some places don't need lengthy reviews because they speak for themselves, & Caffè Italia is one of them. If you appreciate timeless quality & old-world charm, this café is a must-visit.
J'y suis allé pour la première fois aujourd'hui & le cappuccino est tellement bon! Le service est également au top ! Je reviendrais essayer d'autres cafés !
Quelle ambiance au café Italia! Wow.. ça fait 30 ans que je vais la en famille! Le café est délicieux, le service toujours excellent par des gens passionnés & efficaces.
The best cappuccino in Montreal! This is a great authentic Italian neighbourhood cafe that serves great coffee & sandwiches. The fresh squeezed orange juice is spectacular. Even their simple toast is amazing. Try the prosciutto sandwich!

Happy we stopped here for a caffe & something to eat! The café has a really familiar feel to it & if we lived in the area, we'd be there all the time! Grazie mille e alla prossima volta!
Cafeteria like in Italy 😍. Once I visited this place & there was soup, it was delicious, I've been there other times & I haven't found the soup 😔. I also tried the paninis which were very good & finally the coffee 👌🏼. The coffee here is very good. Customer service always good 👏🏻.
Vintage Italian Cafe with excellent coffee & sandwiches Enjoyed a Mixed Cold Cut Sandwich on a Panini today which was excellent! My wife had the Capicolli & Mortadella Sandwich. Sandwiches come with marinated mushrooms, Provolone Cheese, Lettuce, & Tomato. Can also have hot peppers added if you like. Excellent Service.
