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!

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!
