Founded by Italian immigrant Rocco Furfaro in 1970, Café Olimpico began as a neighborhood gathering place where customers could drink espresso, play cards and watch Italian soccer. The family-run café has since become a Montreal institution, known for its traditional coffee drinks, Italian pastries, and more. (Café Olimpico, 124 R.
