Fan favourite - best pizza on the island since Alati changed ownership (& always was if you didn't want something too greasy). Breakfast slice with egg a standout, & pro tip for lunch is to get the potato but have them add'nduja. Coffee is smooth. Dessert specials are generally excellent & if they don't have you can't go wrong with the classic bomboloni.

Loved Café San Gennaro. Great pizza slices, tasty vegetarian options, delicious food overall, & really great service. The atmosphere is warm & friendly too. Highly recommend.

Café San Gennaro est un endroit fantastique avec de la nourriture délicieuse, un excellent service & une ambiance vraiment chaleureuse & conviviale. Leurs pointes de pizza sont particulièrement excellentes, & ils offrent aussi de très bonnes options végétariennes, ce qui permet à tout le monde d'y trouver quelque chose à son goût. Tout est frais, savoureux, & le personnel te fait sentir le bienvenu dès ton arrivée. C'est certain que j'y retournerais. »

A Little Italy & Montreal must visit. Great people working there dedicated to creating the right vibe inside the cafe & outside on the sunny terrace. It's the perfect mix between old school & new school. Get any of the pizza slices & a spro, you can't go wrong!

Pizza is very tasty & quite different to other options nearby.
Price per slice is a bit high but usually one slice is enough (for me).

Pizza is great. Check your bill. If you order a mix of different pizzas, they will charge you seven dollars per slice no matter what it is. Most likely because of a lazy employee that doesn't bother to check what you ordered & just charges you the most expensive one .

Great for a quick slice of pizza, drink or a coffee. Not too many places to sit & place seems to be always crowded, but it's worth a visit if in the hood.

It's basically like being in Italy. Have a seat at the bar, enjoy a coffee, a nice slice of pizza & finish off with their delicious sweets. Do yourself a favor & walk in hungry!
