A lovely cafe in Windsor's Little Italy on Erie St. A charming place with a nice patio and lots of charm non the inside. Jian Carlo made a great Americano and the pastry was delicious. As a visitor to Windsor I thought this was definitely a gem of a place. I'll go back before I leave,

We were searching for a good coffee spot that offered proper expressos and we found it here. It is a family owned cafe and the service was great. The daughter was working behind the bar and the mother helping out. The espresso was great. They have a cute patio with is perfect for a coffee.

Gina’s was absolutely amazing. The service was perfect, the food was delectable and the price was way beyond reasonable. I would recommend this Cafe to anyone that wants quality with professionalism and the most amazing authentic Italian food my better half and I have ever had. Served by Gina herself just added a level of personal you couldn’t explain. Amazing Gina and crew. You all did an amazing job. Thankyou.

Jian Carlo is a wonderful asset to this place. This is my very first time, and he has been so friendly with a beautiful welcoming smile and warm welcome. I shared my dietary restrictions and he was more than helpful. He is amazing! The Americano was absolutely perfect and the dark chocolate was tasty. Definitely a place to come back to and visit. Thanks Jian Carlo!

Quiet café with a lively, hospitable server. Desserts are what they are supposed to taste like! Not pure sugar like some café shops or restaurants: The warmed strawberry cheesecake and the tiramisu were perfect to the palate. It's been a long time since I found a worthy tiramisu to compliment, and Gina's Café definitely hits a home run. Thank you for restoring my faith in Italian cuisine and service as the Italian cuisine/ service in the GTA has lost their way.
