I went with some friends yesterday. We didn't think of making reservations since it was during the week. The staff made sure we were well taking care of in the cafe section. Multiple times they came to ask if we're comfortable and if we needed anything. At the end of the evening they thanked us several times for coming. Such a pleasure being surrounded by this environment. We definitely go back. And, of course. The food was amazing.

Cute spot with really nice decor and a cozy atmosphere. The service was great, friendly, attentive, and made the experience enjoyable. The food was okay, but nothing particularly memorable. I wouldn’t go out of my way for the food alone, but it’s still a nice place to visit for the ambiance and service.

Going to Gentile DDO really is an experience. Stunning place from inside out. Incredible atmosphere and a great staff. Coffee is one of the best in the West Island and the food is fresh and on point. Must try spot that brings a new vibe to Montreal.

Great food, friendly staff and great setting. Make sure to get reservations for dinner otherwise seating is first come first served on the cafe or bar side. Sandwiches available for takeout only in the evening.

I noticed an inconsistency in how the coffees are presented by the female barista in the front some customers are getting latte art while others aren’t. It comes across as selective and affects the overall service experience. Consistency would go a long way in maintaining the restaurant’s reputation. Also she overall has a very rude aura to her. Could be more pleasant considering shes working right in the front of the restaurant.

Food was good. Definitely was on the pricier side. We paid 80$ for two. The waitress kept checking on us. Although I felt super rushed from how she immediately asked us to pay. its DEFINITELY not a chill spot to go to. The space was EXTREMELY crowded barely 2 inches from a table to the next. I couldn’t even hear my friend who was talking. For the price and the ambiance I’m getting, I wouldn’t really revisit.

This placed is way too overrated , we had a reservation yet had to wait 30 minutes for a seat. The food was average at best and the prices are ridiculous. If you are looking for something similar Bernie's is way better food and service.

The coffe shop inside has become apart of my daily ritual, and for good reason. From the moment you walk in, the retro atmosphere pulls you in and it’s always buzzing with energy, in the best way. The coffee is genuinely some of the best I’ve ever had. My go-to is a vanilla latte with the vanilla on the side (Tony knows exactly why), and it never disappoints. But what really keeps me coming back is the team. Tony, Tommy, and George are the kind of staff that make you feel like a regular from day one. Tony especially goes above and beyond — he remembers your order, looks out for you, and his hospitality is just genuine. He’s the one who turned me onto the canolies and the Nutella horns, which are absolutely incredible I’ve brought my entire family here one by one, and every single one of them has really enjoyed the coffee and vibe of the place. If you haven’t been yet just go you won’t be disappointed.

First visit to the DDO location and it did not disappoint. I’ve been to Westmount and Chabanel many times, and this one absolutely lives up to the standard. Beautiful decor and a great vibe right when you walk in. We had a great dinner with fabulous, friendly service from start to finish. The Caesar salad was fresh and really tasty, and the artichoke appetizer was absolutely delicious. The Charred Up pizza with fresh mutz, parlour’s sauce, dry cured house pepperoni, and Calabrian chilli flakes was perfect. Also had a great arrabbiata and margarita. All in all a great night

Incredible pasta and risotto dishes! Pizza is amazing. The staff is super professional, friendly and enthusiastic about the menu and very attentive to their guests. I also love the atmosphere, the interior design and the vibe. If you love Italian cuisine, or are looking for one of the trendiest places in town, you MUST try Il Gentile, they will not disappoint.

Beautiful atmosphere. The decor is awesome. Went on a Sunday morning (8am ish). The choice of music was awesome. Slightly too loud for a Sunday morning. Unfortunately, No Pancakes before 9am. 😥

What a fantastic Sunday treat! We visited today and decided to try their specialties — the Lamb Lasagna and Zeppole — and honestly, we were not disappointed. The Lamb Lasagna was rich, hearty, and perfectly layered, with tender lamb that had clearly been slow-cooked to perfection. A truly comforting dish done right. The Zeppole were a delightful finish — light, fluffy, and just sweet enough to leave you smiling. A classic done beautifully. Beyond the food, the service was attentive and warm, making us feel genuinely welcomed from the moment we walked in. And the ambiance? Absolutely stunning — the kind of place where you want to linger long after your meal is done. Highly recommend making a reservation and trying their specialties. We’ll definitely be back!
