Baristello is where Italian coffee culture meets modern Montreal charm. Helmed by Piero Ciampoli—an icon of the city’s coffee scene—this café is a spacious, light-filled homage to the grand cafés of northern Italy. Located on the Université de Montréal’s MIL campus, the café’s high ceilings and panoramic windows create an inviting atmosphere, landing it a spot among the city’s most beautiful coffee shops.
True to Italian tradition, the menu balances sophistication with comfort: Think expertly crafted espresso, southern-style pizzas reminiscent of nonna’s kitchen, and sweets from Café Dei Campi. It’s a space designed for connection, where patrons are encouraged to pause, share stories, and savour the moment over a rich espresso or a soft, cheesy pizza.
