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.
J'ai goûté presque toutes les sortes de pizza de San Gennaro & elles sont toutes incroyables & généreuses. Les bombolones sont excellents aussi, le beigne est fabuleux, mais le remplissage n'est pas toujours égal. Je n'ai jamais mangé sur place mais toujours pris à emporter.
We had the fresh mozz pizza when it was hot out & with a peroni, it was fantastic! The owner or manager, he was really friendly & suggested we try it. Very happy I stopped by
I work in delivery. The staff greeted me very kindly. I had a large order, but thanks to the staff, the wait was very pleasant. I was offered a cup of coffee & treated to a donut with pistachios. It was really very tasty & it was nice to see the cute smiles of the team working in this wonderful establishment. Thank you all for your work❤️Sincerely, Maria🇺🇦
27 CAD before tip to pick up & take home 3 meatless pieces of pizza al taglio (margherita, marinara & cacciocavalo) plus a pistacchio bombolone. Came out to around 33 CAD because of course i won't deprive staff of a normal tip just for working at such a place. For that price, I was expecting incredible food. It was fine... Was quite disappointed considering all the amazin reviews. I should have gotten a full pizza instead, looks like it would have been less expensive than 3 separate pieces & i would have gotten far more for the price. So do NOT get by the slice. Not worth it here for that!!
Meh, not sure what the fuss is about. I've had better pizza in Montreal. & $15 for two pieces of counter service reheated pizza is more than I'm willing to pay unless it's much tastier than this.
