Reviews present Café San Gennaro as a favorite spot for Roman style al taglio pizza and a tempting lineup of pastries, cannoli, and bomboloni. The pizzas are described as fresh with a light crisp crust and simple high quality ingredients, with favorites like potato and caciocavallo and caprese cited as standouts. The atmosphere is warm and lively, with consistently friendly staff and good coffee, though seating can be tight and lines sometimes form on weekends. A few notes about price and occasional menu or pricing confusion are mentioned, but most feel the value matches the quality. Overall Café San Gennaro comes across as a beloved Montreal staple for a quick, delicious bite with a strong Italian vibe and reliable customer service.
Love this little gem I heard about & pizza is outstanding. I picked up my order. Staff was friendly, prices reasonable, great counters for people to grab a pizza, coffee or dessert & sit. Pizza was fresh, fluffy, tasty & delicious. My family agreed as well.
Being a pizza maker myself, this gets a 5 + ++
Service is always prompt & friendly, the coffee is classic & Italian, & the desserts are stunning. So is the pizza, but the desserts make it for me! Try the tiramisu which is creamy, & made with cake instead of lady fingers (it's light on the booze taste too).

I recently tried this Italian place, & it was amazing! The pizza was incredibly juicy without being oily, with a perfect balance of crunch yet not dry crust, & the cheese was top-notch. I also had the Bombolone, which is hands down one of the best desserts I've ever hadin my life. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for authentic, high-quality Italian food!
Like this place is everything, it's a gem in the heart of MTL,I go there since two years & I can't describe the taste, go & discover it yourself, & oh yes I recommend everything but specially the Canolli 😍🥹🥹, atmosphere is not bad I wish that they have tables to sit & enjoy coffee & desserts during winter like they do during the summer ❤️
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!
