Been wanting to try this spot for a long time & I finally did. Easily best cappuccino in Mtl! Also the cortado is tasty. Tried the panini that the barista suggested & it was super delicious as well as the cheese ciabatta. The service is friendly fast & efficient & the cannolis were fresh & out of this world !

Très bon cafés. Service rapide & courtois. Paninis délicieux préparés frais. Le pain à une belle croûte mince & croustillante mais reste moelleux & aérien. Un must de la Petite Italie!

Leur cappuccino est vite fait, bien fait, sans fla fla superflu, & absolument délicieux. C'est le cappuccino à la fois le plus simple & le mieux maîtrisé que j'ai pu goûter à Montréal. La base de café est équilibrée, avec rien qui dépasse, excepté peut-être une pointe d'amertume supplémentaire qui est tout à fait stimulante & appropriée. La mousse de lait est à la fois riche & légère, saupoudrée de juste assez de cacao pour faire ressortir les autres saveurs sans les éclipser.

Les gens qui ne connaissent que Starbucks devraient venir ici pour découvrir c'est quoi un vrai café bien fait.

5 étoiles bien méritées!👍

Comme à chaque visite, le café plus précisément le cappuccino est d'une qualité supérieure. Le personnel est toujours souriant & offre un service rapide & efficace. Il peut arriver qu'il y ait beaucoup d'attente, puisque c'est un café extrêmement populaire. Toutefois, l'attente & le détour en valent largement la peine grâce à l'excellente qualité du café. Je recommande cet endroit à 100 %, un véritable petit bijou.

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.
