Gentile Cafè Sorrento

Summer Tastes Like Raw Fish Crudo at These Montreal Italian Restaurants | Eater Montreal

"At this longstanding family-run restaurant, I noticed crudo was added to the menu in June after owner Anthony Gentile tried the dish in Sicily and wanted to replicate those flavours. Their take is a yellowfin tuna dressed with chili, toasted hazelnuts and kale. Chef Nelson Maceira says they adapt with the times while keeping things classic, and the emphasis here is on the texture, the fat and the freshness of the tuna; other ingredients provide minimal bursts so the tuna remains the star rather than being concealed as can happen with tartare. Cafe Gentile is serving crudo through November." - Joe Bongiorno
