Amazing experience. The food was so delicious but what stood out was the service. We were beyond impressed by our waitress Salma. So attentive and knowledgeable about the food. We will be back.

Cute new spot in the West Island. Matthew made some great recommendations. I loved the espresso martini and Mac and cheese.

Great experience this evening. Food was on point. Delicious appetizers: Calamari, Beef Tataki. Our mains were the Sexy pie and the Rocky Balboa pizzas + radicchio and endive salad with pears 👌🏼👌🏼 Dessert was the off menu s’mores brownie with ice cream and the Trecolore cake with gelato- what a nostalgic flavour! We were originally sat, and then asked to move without an issue. Banquette/ chair seating is a little tight, but still very comfortable! Can’t wait to go back!

Excellent quality of food and service! By far the best pizza in the West Island and one of the best in all of Montreal, if you're looking for proper pizza napoletana. Easily the best cafe in the West Island as well. None of this "grande orange mochachocolatte" nonsense. Just a proper Italian coffee bar with a barista who takes care with espresso extraction. A blessing to have them pop up here!

The only thing better than the food was the service. Manager Olivia & server Mathew were on top of their game

My husband and I came in from out of town after hearing so many great things about this place — and WOW, it absolutely lived up to the hype! From the moment we walked in, the service was amazing and made us feel right at home. The food was incredible, fresh, flavorful, and tasted like someone’s Italian grandma was back there cooking with love. The drinks were spot on, and the biscotti? We grabbed some to go and I’m still thinking about it… hands down the BEST biscotti I’ve ever had! Already counting down until we can come back!

Hi I have been 3x the first two were amazing, great food, however the other day I ordered takeout chicken sandwich and pasta and it was the only thing I ate that day and it gave me food poisoning. Would be careful with how you are cooking the chicken!!

Great atmosphere and drinks but the food was a bit of a letdown, especially at the price point. My lasagna was dry and didn’t quite taste like it was made that day (per the menu).

Amazing place. The staff and the service is outstanding, very friendly and ready to help. Food is really great, cost me 60$ (tip included) for a plate of rigatoni rosé, 2 coffees and split desserts with a friend. A server (surely someone owning the place) told us his grandmother was the one doing the lemon cookies and they were very, very good. I will definitely go back !

The food was acceptable; unfortunately, the level of customer service did not meet the same standard. The gentleman overseeing the establishment appeared to mistake arrogance for professionalism, lacking both tact and basic savoir-faire. While the dining experience itself was forgettable, the attitude on display was remarkably memorable — though not in the way one would hope. Needless to say, this is not an establishment I intend to revisit anytime soon, if ever.

A lovely spot with a great atmosphere and friendly service. On a few occasions, when we asked to split specific items between two bills, there seemed to be small errors in how it was calculated. I didn’t raise it at the time, but it’s something that stood out and could be improved to make the experience even smoother.

The service was outstanding, the food gourmet and beautifully presented. The restaurant is very nice, definitely go for the food. For conversations it may be a little to noisy.

I’m a local patron and frequent Gentile in the West Island often. I decided to book Gentile for a Corporate event where I had 50 people attend an event of high importance. The presentation of my lunch bags was pitiful where I had asked for a description of what the sandwiches were to be on each bag .What I received was abbreviated terms unknown to those making a selection which led to a disorganized flow for the event. My lunch bags were not cheap and you would expect a top quality offering. I reached out after the event to share my feedback and was told they would be in touch and they never did get in touch . Very disappointing - no customer service follow up as promised. Do not recommend.

The food is very good. The atmosphere is too loud. What I did not appreciate is that they charged me 0.50$ for hot water and lemon. No other restaurant has ever charged me for that. I find that very cheap of this restaurant to charge for this especially considering that my bill was close to a $100.

The waitress was rude. When an extra friend showed up, she refused to bring a chair or utensils for her. She also dropped the order in the middle of the table instead of serving it properly. I will never go there again.
