All I can say is wow! The decor is excellent. I loved all the oldies music playing. The pizza & dessert was out of this world! Last but not least was the excellent service of Thomas. His charm & grace alone warrants another visit. See you soon & many thanks!View more

My favourite spot in town for the best pizza, pistachio filled croissant & affogato! Great spot for a stop during a biking journey through town, for a quick business meeting or even to impress a date! Variety of pizza selection, cannot go wrong with any choice. Staff is always friendly & go the extra mile for their clients. One great example I experienced, I ordered an affogato. To my approved request, I had it customized to be served on a flavourful gelato of my choice & to top it up with a shot of Bailey's! Their quality of coffee is amongst the best in town as well! Looking forward to my next visit, as usual! Thank you for the delightful experiences!View more

La pizza était super bonne! La croûte était croustillante & moelleuse, il y avait beaucoup de sauce, c'était super! Malheureusement, je n'ai pas vécu la même expérience avec le beigne. J'ai trouvé celui-ci beaucoup trop huileux. J'avais l'impression de croquer dans une éponge d'huile. C'est tout ce que je vais dire dessus. C'est très petit comme endroit, alors les tables semblent plus service de place pour attendre sa commande que pour manger. Finalement, ils m'ont dit que ma commande allait prendre 15 minutes, alors que cela a pris le double. J'avais bien faim😆 Je ne recommande pas cet endroit pour les étudiants, car je trouve cela un peu cher.View more

The pizza is great, but now it's way too expensive. 55$ for a large pepperoni pizza, it was 43$ 6 months ago. There's good & cheaper around there.View more

Super bonne pizza aux patates & incroyable focaccia à la mortadelle. Je conseille le beignet fourré à la crème de pistache : on sent bien le goût & c'est presque addictif ! Jolie deco en + de cela & un accueil très chaleureux. Je recommande !View more

I bought into the hype surrounding this place . The cheese pull pictures & videos online etc etc . What I got was an expensive , dry, tasteless pizza that was 90% bread & very little toppings . Large portions of the crust were burned too The pepperoni pizza was decent but that potato pizza was a huge let down . At $90 for 2 pizzas that you could find something similar at a bakery for less than half the price I won't be finding my way back here or recommending it to anyone .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

Great local spot for Roman style pizza. We tried a Margherita slice & the pistachio bombolone. Both were delicious. The pizza crust & tomato sauce is awesome. The bombolone was super light with the right level of sweetness.View more

Il y a un bon choix de pizza & de pâtisserie..le café est aussi délicieux mais c'est tellement petit & toujours très occupé..il faut faire un choix très vite & sortir. J'y suis allé une première fois & comme je ne connaissais pas les produits je regardais partout & essayait de faire un choix rapidement mais je me suis sentie bousculer..

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!
