Cafe gentile - Westmount

Great new restaurant on Ste. Catherine near Greene. The first and most famous is on Chabanel. This is a well decorated , clean and bright place with a busy staff and clientele. My first order for iced tea was forgotten and needed a second server to correct.Our group of four tried the Mac , cheese and tomato sauce , pasta al for no and spaghetti in Olive oil. But surprisingly service was very slow , inspite of staff rushing around to a half filled Resto. My MAC in red sauce was delicious as was the al forno dish but the spaghetti needed much more dressing as it was very dry... The plain salad was small and just so so but $7?. Not worth it.This is a fine restaurant but service needs to be speeded up , and beware of ordering extras .....my meal with salad , ice tea , tiny ice cream and coffee came to more than double the main dish.

I have been to Gentile many times, for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I've even ordered take-out from it. I have to say that it has some of the best Italian food I've had in Montreal. From practically perfect gnocchi to spot-on cannoli, Gentile never disappointed. The staff there also is incredibly nice and welcoming. All in all, Gentile has maintained a "homie" feeling while serving professional grade food; quite the feat.

Bravo folks! Very fine Westmount resto-café Delicious menu served with flair. Friendly attentive service Nice feeling to the place. In summer the terrasse is shaded but fine Delicious sea bass with pasta. Just right. The coffee (espresso) truly Italian quality. Prices reasonable

I had been hearing terrific things about Café Gentile, and finally had the opportunity to visit this past Saturday. Absolutely best lunch I've had all year. Authentic Italian the way it should be. Sure, it's expensive, but I've never before experienced this quality of grilled Italian sandwiches, pasta and coffee anywhere else outside of Italy. The veal scaloppini sandwich and the side of fusilli pasta with rose sauce were incredible. My friend loved his chicken schnitzel. I always take a little bit of sugar in my coffee, but there was not need with their extremely flavourful cappuccino. The friendly and knowledgeable service is an added bonus

I have been twice to this new place. I liked...Spotlessly clean, genuinely nice staff, great espresso, large list of choices on the menu, good clean simple food, comfortable seating in nice decor.I think that these things need attention...Loud booming and annoying "music", servers who do not listen and make mistakes as a consequence, very limited patisserie choices.That said, please go, it is a good spot, nice folk.
