Reviewers describe Café San Gennaro as an authentic Italian spot with a welcoming vibe, where Roman style square pizzas, fresh pastries, and robust espresso stand out. The pizzas are praised for crisp crusts and flavorful toppings, cannoli with crisp shells and creamy fillings, and pistachio bomboloni that are a dessert highlight. The staff are consistently friendly and attentive, adding to the homey atmosphere and the sense of being in Italy, occasionally with Italian speaking staff. The menu also features focaccia sandwiches and a wide range of sweets, though seating can be limited and the space can feel crowded at peak times. A few notes mention price concerns and occasional confusion about wall pricing, and some reviews point to changes in the coffee that affect the overall experience. Overall Café San Gennaro comes across as a beloved local gem that draws guests for a quick bite, coffee, and desserts as well as a memorable Italian cafe experience.

The best Cortado I have ever had. Their coffee is top notch. We came every day we were in town after discovering. Their apricot & fig bites are to die for. Their sandwiches & pizza slices are top notch as well. You should go out of your way to try this place, I promise you will not regret it. 10/10 place, I wish I lived in Montreal just for this cafe. I want to go back just so I can have their food & drinks again it was that good. Cortado ratings: Taste: 6/5 (best cortado I have ever had) Presentation: 5/5 (bc of taste lol, I would prefer a side car with it) Coffee Art: the cinnamon covered it
Super café avec excellente pizza à bon prix! Les patisseries sont aussi très bonne! Peu de place pour s'asseoir par contre mais parfait pour emporter 👍
Vous trouverez les meilleurs bombolonis en ville à ce café! Charmant service en prime, bon café, belle merch, ils vendent des bouteilles de vin & leurs pointes de pizza sont aussi exquises 👌

Tout est incroyable : du service à la nourriture en passant par leurs cafés ... J'adore ! C'est devenu pour moi une place incontournable lorsque je suis de passage dans le quartier !
I get that long days of work can be tiring mentally & physically. But the service is garbage. The only reason the place is crowded most of the time is because the workers aren't doing their jobs right. There is currently a long line at the Cafe because two of the workers are stuck chatting with a costumer. The other one is helping a costumer with an order. Please stop hiring irresponsible young adults.
Les beignets sont merveilleux. Les pizza déjeuner sont parfait pour le matin. Je conseille vraiment se lieux pour le café. Beaucoup de clients le matin.
Excellente adresse si vous voulez un bon coin italien vous serez servi ! Du bon café, les croissants au pistache c'est un délice ! Pizza très bonne & le gelato top !!!
Très bon café italien accompagné d'un beigne au sucre frais & exquis! Bonne ambiance à l'intérieur, casual. La terrasse est un grand plus, car peu de place pour s'asseoir à l'intérieur.
Very cozy little cafe-pizzeria. The potato pizza is delicious, very similar taste to a raclette. Interesting canolli texture, but still good, bit too small haha
