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.
Une belle découverte ! Les pizzas Al taglio (pizzas vendues en carré plutôt qu'à la pointe) sont excellentes. La sauce tomate est parmi les meilleures que j'ai goûtée. Décor simple qui donne une ambiance relax. J'y retourne ? Absolument !
I've ordered pizza & panini twice for my kids birthdays & it's always amazing 🤩 food is always fresh & oh so tasty. We can't get enough. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for authentic pizza al taglio👌🏻

Très bel endroit pour un espresso...leur croissant au pistache est tout simplement merveilleux...& que dire du bgeine aux pistaches aussi, tout simplement a s'en mordre les doigts..en tout cas pour ma part c'est un incontournable, alors c'est très recommandé...👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
This is one of my favorite spots in the city. I've been multiple times & everything you can order is delicious & fresh!!! I esp recommend the caciocavallo slice. The staff are so nice & accommodating as well!
Je fais le tour des cafés italiens de Montréal, & cet endroit se retrouve dans mes favoris. Le macchiato était délicieux & leurs pizzas faites maison également. Je recommande fortement ! Aussi, l'ambiance est branchée & agréable. Bien que ce soit assez petit, il y a plusieurs choix de sièges (stools au comptoir, devant la fenêtre pour avoir une vue sur la rue, tables conventionnelles...) Il y a aussi des toilettes très propres & les employés sont très gentils & souriants.

Dans les meilleurs pâtisseries que j'ai manger. Savoureux, aéré & remplie de saveur. Les pizza sont tout aussi incroyablement savoureuse. Aéré & croustillante à la fois, on goûte bien la pâte. La sauce & le topping vient juste exploser en bouche par la suite. C'est génial.

I've been a fan of San Gennaro's pizza for a long time. Tonight I ordered a whole margherita pizza & a few croissants shortly before closing time - I worried that my order would be rejected or delayed, & I felt bad about being'that customer' after working in food service previously. In 35 minutes I received a still-warm pizza, as well as a box with our croissants & some extra donuts. Thank you so much for the unexpected treat, it really put a smile on my face!
