More family-run, warm, Italian perfection does not exist in Montreal. The owners are ever present & the wonderful gang of people working there are indistinguishable from the owners. They rarely make'em like this anymore! Oh, & the coffee is the best in town.

Paramos aquí durante nuestra caminata para recorrer y conocer Little Italy. Mi amigo se tomó un affogato y yo elegí un gelato. La atención fue magnífica, los precios razonables y aunque no teníamos suficiente hambre, creo que en otra ocasión no nos iremos sin probar sus sándwiches.

The vibe here is sort of like an old school, neighborhood diner. Very personal & cozy. Not super decked out nor instagrammable. The coffee is definitely Italian made. It has that extra roast/ burnt flavor to it. I ordered an oat decaf latte. It was strong but not bad.
