Review Summary

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.

Quick stop here while walking around little Italy & the pizza definitely did not disappoint, crust was airy & crispy, sauce was fresh & lite. Sad that we are elsewhere prior to stopping here or I would have had a few slices.

Great local spot for Roman style pizza. We tried a Margherita slice & the pistachio bombolone. Both were delicious. The pizza crust & tomato sauce is awesome. The bombolone was super light with the right level of sweetness.
