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 ☹?

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.
