"Perhaps the closest thing Montreal has to a small espresso bar in Italy, this St-Laurent hotspot opened in 1956 and is as classic as they come. Caffè Italia’s get-in-and-get-out vibe isn’t pretentious; it’s just the way it goes. Its panini are some of the best around (especially if you add some hot peppers), and there are plenty of pastries that go nicely with your latte. Try the apricot or cherry tart." - Daniel Bromberg, Eater Staff
