AUTHENTIC ITALIAN CAFÉ CULTURE,
FROM THE HEART OF MONTRÉAL,
FAMILY RUN SINCE 1970.
In 1970, an Italian immigrant by the name of Rocco Furfaro purchased a
coffee machine, a special
satellite
a pool table for his new business,
Café Olimpico.
Originally a place where Rocco and his friends could watch their beloved
Azzurri play European
football, it
soon became a gathering place for the
whole neighbourhood—a place where you could enjoy a
traditional
Itali espresso and find respite from whatever was happening in the
outside world.
Over 50 years later, Café Olimpico is still that welcoming space—it’s still
family run by people
that are
passionately committed to the Italian
traditions of authenticity, generosity and family. Coffee
lovers from
all over
the world continue to linger around its tables for the quality of the coffee,
of
course, but also
for the moments of pure magic and small kindnesses
that can only happen inside Olimpico’s four
walls
