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.

I came here twice during a trip to Montreal last week based on my friend's recommendation. The first time around, the staff (dark haired man) was super nice.Then, when I came back the 2nd time around, a day or two later, on the evening of Sept 29th, the white woman with short blonde hair who was working was visibly aggressive from the moment my friend and I walked in. She was rude and curt throughout our interaction, told me we could only sample one flavour (this wasn't the case when we came the last time), and scoffed and walked away when I didn't use tap. She had a huuuuge attitude problem, and I suspect may be prejudiced because other male, non-racialized clients that came before and after us were treated respectfully.If you're a racialized person, steer clear. I did not feel welcomed here, and my friend, who had previously been a repeat customer, will not be coming back. The ice cream is nothing to rave about, and certainly not worth the disrespect.

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!

Pistachio and key lime! So good.

Delicious with good choice of flavours. They are fresh so they will melt fast. Get your tongue ready for intense licking session. ?

Delicious gelato. Would be willing to come back for more. The amaretto and pistachio flavors were my favorite. The pistachio will throw you off because of its light brown coloring as opposed to being white or green in other places.

I just tried Pile ou Glace Gelateria for first time. We tried the hazelnut and pistachio. Very authentic and high quality! will be back! sorry no pictures! it was eaten too fast!I like that the pistachio is not dyed a bright green, that is a great sign that these gelatos are made of only the best natural ingredients.
$7 for a single scoop of gelato is a bit pricey but on a hot day its worth the price

TL;DR high quantity, average quality, average pricing. Excellent service, seating and atmosphere, delicious (real) pistachio ice cream.The good: excellent service, nice store atmosphere, clean, generous servings, and the pistachio ice cream. Seating is plentiful and comfortableThe reason for the rating is 3 is because it’s not exceptional or somewhere I would visit twice aside from the pistachio ice cream.For example, the Tahitian vanilla does not taste strongly enough of vanilla. The dark chocolate is good, and creamy, but the chocolate flavour is not as prominent or rich as the gelato place down the street at saint zotique and st Laurent. The mango tastes like the mango juice you get from overseas, it isn’t artificial like other comments have said, it is real mango but it’s bottled, not freshly peeled behind the counter. Which is fine but it’s not fresh mango which other gelato stores do, and again, not exceptional.My other note is that the freezer is a touch too cold to properly bring out the flavours in the gelato. There was a slight freezer burn, likely from scooping too close to the edge.While the pricing is technically good for the amount of ice cream, it would be more favourable to make smaller scoops with more quality per scoop. $7 for a medium cup would be expected out of high end ice cream spots which have more complex flavours.

The best ice cream in Montreal.
