About

Café San Gennaro specializes in authentic Roman-style pizza al taglio, featuring rectangular slices with a characteristically light and airy crust. The menu highlights traditional Italian ingredients, ranging from classic margherita to seasonal vegetable and savory meat toppings. Beyond the savory options, the establishment functions as a dedicated espresso bar that serves high-quality Italian coffee alongside an assortment of artisanal pastries and house-made sweets. Cannoli and bomboloni remain core components of the dessert selection, prepared with traditional techniques to ensure consistent texture and flavor profiles. Patrons encounter a bustling, high-energy atmosphere defined by industrial aesthetics and communal seating arrangements. The focus remains on rapid, high-quality service for those seeking an immediate taste of Rome through both baked goods and layered, crispy-bottomed pizza squares sold by weight.

Très bonnes pizzas & délicieux Aperol Spritz. J'aurais cependant aimé qu'il y en ait plus en stock, ils étaient à court pour une deuxième tournée.

J'ai pris ma photo en tenant mon latte avec son joli dessin de mousse sur le dessus, alors que c'est une appli que j'utilise qui m'a déniché cet endroit pour suivre mes repas sans prise de tête. La part de pizza était parfaite pour mes macros de la journée - avec assez de protéines & zéro gaspillage - & surtout c'était vraiment bon, une sacrée revanche après avoir mangé n'importe quoi toute la semaine. Le service est efficace & l'ambiance au comptoir est super sympa.
