The reviews describe Caffè Italia as a cozy, old school Italian cafe with a real Little Italy vibe, where the coffee is consistently strong and smooth, especially cappuccino and espresso, and where fresh sandwiches, panini and cannoli shine alongside pastries. The atmosphere is repeatedly cited as a key part of the tasting experience, making it a great place to start the day or catch up with friends, and the prices are considered reasonable for the quality. Several mentions praise the welcoming service and the family feel, though a few reviews note that busy times can bring longer waits. Overall the spot is seen as a true Montreal staple that delivers authentic Italian cafe culture with a simple but excellent bite and top notch coffee.
C'est une ambiance unique, on a vraiment l'impression d'être dans un café de village au bout de l'Italie. C'est un endroit surtout fréquenté par des habitués qui bavardent pendant des heures en savourant leur café. À ce sujet, mon café noir était excellent & le panneton aussi.

One of the best places to get late night coffee in Montreal. Like having a cappucino in Italy, same atmosphere. Kind service, nice little dessert snacks, please do not ever close. Places like these restore my faith in humanity & provide me comfort. A true oasis that is a part of Montreal's cultural history.
Un des meilleurs cafés à Montréal. Je n ai jamais été déçue de mon café au lait. Le service est amical & excellent, toujours la bonne ambiance. Bel endroit pour casser la croûte.
A traditional Italian coffee, there is nothing more to say. 🤗 The atmosphere is friendly & lively, the service is excellent & the drinks delicious, the black coffee a little strong but the cappuccino was simply amazing. We ordered a mocha too, incredible experience
L'endroit parfait pour aller prendre une bouchée ou déguster un bon café. Le service est super courtois & très rapide. Je recommande le crema, il est super crémeux & épais.
I had a lot of expectations to find finally a spot to fill my italian needs as in talking in italian & have a nice cappuccino & cornetto, as the reviews were positive about em. Was very highly disappointed with the barman that had a very broken italian & couldn't hold a conversation. The cappuccino was so badly made, too much coffee & the milk was all bubbly, I would recommend for the barman to learn on how to prepare the milk for the cappuccino as many other italians might get baited from the name of the place. The cornetto (crossaint) was supposed to be 'ripieno' but clearly the staff needs also a vocabulary, as the crossaint gives only had some bits of chocolate inside.
We also had "cheese toast". The ingredients were: toasted bread & cheese. Just no.
Per tutti gli italiani evitate se cercate un cappuccino dove può farvi ricordare del bel paese. Senza contare ai prezzi esorbitanti. Una vergogna, quasi al livello dell'Italia che non arriva ai mondiali per due volte di fila. Alla ricerca di un altro bar per avere la mia necessità di italiano in Montréal.
