Pile Ou Glace Gelateria

amazing gelato ice cream! I'd been turned off pistachio by other places recently but this shop's is so rich and nutty, not sickly green or artificial, that I might love pistachio now?? I can't wait to go back and try more flavours!

We still love your ice cream. Certainly understand your reason to close early. We stopped today and got our chocolate. Best ice cream ever... We stopped by at 7pm on Sunday, and the place was closed. Even though their hours of operation are 12pm till 10pm on Sunday. So drove 30min to have some ice cream only to see they were closed. Apptempted to call several times, but no-one answered.. very disappointed 😔

Been coming here for years. The real deal if you know what gelato is. Great pricing, lots of variety and as a bonus, the owner is a Milan fan. Don't forget to try their second location on Fleury

I was craving for pistachio ice cream and when I was in the area, I decided to try their pistachio ice cream and I really loved it. It’s creamy and it has pistachio bits. Would definitely come back🥰

-EDITED- pistachio delicious! coffee delicious!! lemon refreshing! mango was my least favorite because I thought it would taste like mango sorbet but it tasted creamier than expected whoch is totally okay too ❤️

Edited for context: Convenient location near an AirBNB for a random night with some delicious gelato. Would definitely want to come back again whenever I'm in the area.

My favorite cream place in Little Italy. The staff is always friendly and you can buy a cone that has less than a half gallon of ice cream. Outdoor seating in the warmer months.

Went here because the reviews were 4.7 but honestly is one of the worst gelatos I have had. Rhum raisins was tasting funny, like old, and the passion fruit one was lacking flavor. I don't recommend it.

We walked from the river to Little Italy and after exploring a bit, I decided all that walking deserved a gelato reward. I do not regret that excellent decision. I was very happy to see they offer affogato. If you are unfamiliar, this is gelato (I chose cream, but you can get whatever flavor makes you happy) with a shot of espresso poured over the top. It is served in a small cut so you can eat your gelato and then drink the sweetened espresso, or maybe you want to mix them together and make a 'shake' type dessert. It's your affogato, do what you like! My SO ordered a small serving of dark chocolate gelato. This gelato is absolutely decadent! So rich! So much flavor! An excellent choice. They offer a variety of flavors and if you are in the area I absolutely recommend a stop in here. Whether it's to cool off on a hot day, or to reward yourself just get you some gelato. You deserve it!

Shopping in nearby Jean Talon market and decided to take a break with some yummy gelato. We were greeted by a friendly gentleman who served us efficiently and we tried the dark chocolate, strawberry, vanilla & Sicilian pistachio - they were all delicious! I hope to come back soon and try more flavors.

Excellent gelato. Some of the best I've eaten outside of Italy. Smooth and rich, only a little goes a long way. Many different varieties available, you can even take points to go. Stop by and try for yourself!

Great little spot in Little Italy! Best gelato I've had in Montreal, with a good variety of flavours and large portions (you can get 2 flavours in a single scoop cone/bowl)! I love the dark chocolate and café, and will be returning to try the pistachio soon. Service is also very friendly and efficient. The outdoor terrasse is lovely in the summer, although it's also just steps from Parc Little Italy!

Walking distance from Jean Talon market. I sampled the Dark Chocolate which was too bitter for my taste, so I went with the Hazelnut instead and it was ridiculously delicious. Husband had Banana, it was alright. For a gelato place, decent amount of seating available inside, plus some tables outside.

This simple sunny little place on St Laurent just before Jean Talon, down the street from the Market, has smiling staff who are never stingy with the samples, even when your mom is trying everything, and trying to get you to try it all, and there's a line forming behind her and you're turning red.. There's ample seating indoors in the air-conditioning and tables outside as well. They serve a list of Italian style sandwiches which I've never tried, so someone else should weigh in here. All I can tell you is that there are times I choose the creamy perfect toasted almond here over anything down the block at Havre aux Glaces, and that's saying something. If you're really interested in Italian ice cream and sorbet, I suggest a taste off walking back and forth between the two. I'll expect your results here shortly, and not matter which ice cream shoppe you ultimately choose, we both know you'll be the big winner

There's ice cream, then there's gelato. Pile ou glace serves up the best Italian gelato in Montreal. It's the closet you'll find to the real deal like it Italy. They have many rich and decadent flavours such as amaretto and hazelnut, but they also have lighter and fruitier flavours like coconut and strawberry. My boyfriend and I usually order the sicilian pistachio. It's sooooo good. Like I previously stated, it's the closest thing to the real deal that you'll find in Montreal. A cone with 2 scoops of ice cream is around 4$. I always get the sugar cone. For 25 cents more, it's well worth it.

Cute spot near Little Italy part of Montreal. We happened to stumble on it while walking around in the area. It's in walking distance of Jean Talon. I tried this pistachio one, and the consistency was perfect as well as the sweetness. My husband's been to Italy and had their gelato, and said this was very close to it. I wish I had the appetite to try the other flavors! I do know you need cash, so keep that in mind when you visit! There is a bench area to sit at right outside of the gelateria too.

Service is a little slow (even on Montreal's chillier summer nights when there's less people) but aside from that, their gelato is great! They have some great choices/variety & their ice cream is properly refrigerated (hey, it's an important detail & I've had some bad experiences in the past). Choices include the typical gelato flavours (Baci, hazelnut etc...) & some more original ones. What I love most about this place is their location, right in the heart of Little Italy & a great place to stop by for a quick (depending on their service) frozen treat!

Nice and large, lots of seating both indoors and out The prices are on par with other places like this, but well worth it on a hot day

Cute little place in little Italy. They sell homemade gelato and they have a good selection. I had chocolate-hazelnut and white chocolate. Delicious mix. $3.75 for two large scoops of gelato is very reasonable. The place is air-conditioned and there are a few tables to sit. Or, you can go outside and eat on the 3-4 tables they have set out outside. A great little place.

After supper at Il Cornelli, we decided to walk off our meal and go down a few blocks to have a gelato here. Been here many times before, always has great gelato - I like taking half chocolat and have lemon! with a good espresso!
