Although service was great I was served the wrong dish and it was really unflavourful therefore it kind of ruined the food experience meanwhile the service was excellent thankfully.

I have to say was so excited to eat at Gentiles I’m been a client from the original on Chabanel. Food was great. No issues. The service was left to be desired. The waitress didn’t tell us about the special. Took our order and never came back. Never came to check on us. Never asked if I wanted cheese on my pasta. Or anything. Thank god for the hostess. Sweetest guy. We saw our waitress at the end when I had to flag her down for the bill. Not sure what I was supposed to tip for. I’m sorry. But when I go out to a nice resto and spend over $150 on food. I would love the service to come with it.

Great decor and friendly service. The Gentile grilled cheese was amazing. The music at 8am was a bit loud.

Café Gentile Westmount is honestly in a league of its own, from the incredible food to the authentic Italian flavors, every dish feels like it belongs in one of Italy’s best restaurants. I’ve been to plenty of fancy restaurants in Montreal, and this place easily beats all of them. great quality, freshness and attention to detail. It’s not just some of the best Italian food in Montreal—it’s up to par with the best Italian food I’ve had in Italy. must-try

Got to try out Cafe Gentile after hearing a lot about it. The service was great! However, the food was pretty bland and missing flavours.

Extremely slow service. Insolent waiters behave like they own the place and we’re begging for the order. Never again.

Hi Mahin, We're sorry to hear you left with that impression. We'd really like to understand what happened, as your review is quite general and it's difficult for us to identify the situation. If you don't mind, could you share a few more details about your visit? What made the service feel slow, and what happened with our staff that led you to feel they were being insolent? Any additional context would really help us look into it. - The Gentile family

We wanted something local and was recommended. It was our first time trying them for dinner. We were looked after by our server Marina. Friendly and very warm. I have to say every resto should have a Marina. Was very helpful with suggestions and her likes of what to consider ordering. We started with the artichoke crostini. Honestly insanely good. I had the mushroom pasta. Different mushrooms with homemade pasta. My only mistake after finishing my pasta is that i didnt ask for bread to soak up the left over broth. I would have licked the bowl ... My gf had the seafood pasta.. she, who has lived in Italy was beyond impressed The italian names for each sounds alot better but im keeping it simple. We finished with a shared Tiramisu which was great. She had a glass of wine and i had to Italian beers. On an extra note my gf is alergic to raw garlic. After speaking with Marina, the chef came out to discuss the dishes and options available. That was a class move. This is old school Sicilian cooking. We were so impressed with the food and service we will definitely be back. By the way, they have a pizza place next door that is theirs as well that you can order. We are heading there to try it as if its close we have found a new gem

The food was out of this world delicious, I was intimidated by the menu, the cod and leeks were delicious. I can’t wait to come back. This restau will be a regular stop!

The service was really poor - the food was mediocre. Really had high hopes for this place but had an unpleasant experience with the server there.

First Time here and it’s for brunchTried pretty much all the options on the menuThe frittata is good comes with fresh arugula and Parmesan cheese. The tomato sauce on the bottom also gives a nice zesty tasteThe salmon and avocado toast is a classic so no way to mess it upThe croissant with eggs we replaced the mortadella with a side of Veal sausage comes with their sexy potatoes which are really good. It’s roasted potatoes covered with Parmesan cheese and some greenish mix which looks like a mix of basilic and garlicTheir pancakes are nice and fluffyThey have homemade ice tea that the kids tried.The latte and cortado were good

I adore creamy pasta, but I had the worst I have ever ordered from a restaurant here. It came recommended to us, we were very disappointed, we couldn’t eat much of it.

We went with friends last night and had a great time. My fennel and citrus salad was fresh and flavourful, the lasagna was very good and my fiance's pizza was amazing. We will come back for sure

Loved my experience there. The food and ambiance were really nice. The reason I’m writing this review is because of the servers. The service was impeccable. They were genuinely sweet and respectful all along. I misunderstood one of the ingredients so I couldn’t eat the plate. They were super understanding and didn’t even charge me for it. I really appreciated the gesture, thank you again. Would totally recommend this place.

Truly always an awesome experience, and consistently great food and service. Lunch Staples for me are the Tunisian Tuna sandwich with extra bomba or the chicken cutlet with side salad and they make tier own iced tea! (Consider take out here, they’re really quick, always better fresh compared to delivery, and you get to see what pastries they’ve got for a little dessert). Pastas at dinner are my favourite as well, and always ask what’s on the menu of the day. Never had a bad experience here and love coming back every time I get the chance!
