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.

The Roman style pizza was absolutely delicious. Well worth the drive to get there. We tried 4 kinds but the one with potato & caciocavallo was our favourite!

Service is always prompt & friendly, the coffee is classic & Italian, & the desserts are stunning. So is the pizza, but the desserts make it for me! Try the tiramisu which is creamy, & made with cake instead of lady fingers (it's light on the booze taste too).
