About

Café San Gennaro specializes in authentic Roman-style pizza al taglio, featuring rectangular slices with a characteristically light and airy crust. The menu highlights traditional Italian ingredients, ranging from classic margherita to seasonal vegetable and savory meat toppings. Beyond the savory options, the establishment functions as a dedicated espresso bar that serves high-quality Italian coffee alongside an assortment of artisanal pastries and house-made sweets. Cannoli and bomboloni remain core components of the dessert selection, prepared with traditional techniques to ensure consistent texture and flavor profiles. Patrons encounter a bustling, high-energy atmosphere defined by industrial aesthetics and communal seating arrangements. The focus remains on rapid, high-quality service for those seeking an immediate taste of Rome through both baked goods and layered, crispy-bottomed pizza squares sold by weight.

Decided to try all the flavours they had including the speciality ones. The crust was light & crispy except for the rapini & sausage which was very heavy & greasy. :( The flavours are on the subtle side except for the Margherita which stood out. Their tomato sauce is very good. We also tried the pistachio bombolini & it was sadly disappointing. Dough was too chewy & the pistachio filling tastes oily & artificial. On the service side, staff were very efficient & friendly. The interior is bright & well set up. They also have a very cute outdoor space.
