Absolutely love this spot! It's perfect for a lunch bite & the focaccia pizza is SO good. They clearly use high quality ingredients & everything tastes so fresh. Must try the pistachio bomboloni for a sweet delight after the pizza. By far the best I've tried yet in comparison to others in the city.View more

Restored my faith in pizza after years of being disappointed by fast food "pizza." I thought pizza was supposed to be a greasy & kind of sad until I tried San Gennaro. Fresh, crunchy, flavorful - I always order 1 whole Marg pizza during big study sessions (literally lasts me the whole day for the price of 1 meal). Love it!View more

My friend brought me to this place, & it made me feel like I was at home. The pizzas are excellent. Warmed up or fresh off the tray, they are amazing. They remind me of what my Nona & great aunts used to make when I was a kid-taking one bite through me back 30 years. The pastries are fluffy & sweet. I had the pistachio donut, which tasted like soft, sweet bread with a pinch of pistachio cream. We tried Margherita & Mariana. Both are superb choices. Next time, I'm excited to try the pepperoni. We finished with two cannolis, which were fantastic. I will have to go back & buy a dozen to share with my family. All the staff were super friendly with a giant smile, ready to provide excellent customer service. I did enjoy the attempt to upsell & see if there was anything else the customer was interested in purchasing.View more

Definetly one of the best places for pizza in mtl. The crust & bread has that stone baked taste which is great & the ingredients are fresh & tasty. The Margarita, pepperoni, & marinara pizzas were fresh & delicious. Cannolis also very good. Price a bit pricey.View more

Quick stop here while walking around little Italy & the pizza definitely did not disappoint, crust was airy & crispy, sauce was fresh & lite. Sad that we are elsewhere prior to stopping here or I would have had a few slices.View more

San Gennaro is a fantastic little gem in Little Italy. Just off of St. Laurent, right next to Bottega Restaurant. It's really un-missable & well worth going to. Nothing alleviates the hot Montreal summer like sipping a cool caffe freddo on the terrace at San G. The open kitchen concept is a refreshing change in the cafe scene as you will likely see the owners hard-at-work making delicious pizzas al taglio & classic Italian pastries. You have to try the Nutella bombolone, indulge & get the bigger size! After enjoying many coffees at San Gennaro like I have, you'll somehow never be satisfied with franchised coffee shops anymore. Mauro makes an exceptional latte!
The ambience is spot on too! You walk into authentic old-school Italian music & everyone, staff & customers alike are always smiling. You'll feel as if you've just walked into a cafe in Napoli! The place is still relatively new but it's obvious that it already has many regulars, myself included! As a matter of fact, my boyfriend & I will often drive all the way from Laval to Little Italy just for the killer coffee & friendly staff.
With its young vibe & its fresh take on what a happening cafe should be in Montreal, & whether it's for a simple espresso or grabbing lunch with some old friends, San Gennaro's hip atmosphere & adherence to both quality & tradition will satisfy even the most discerning of Italian pallets!
