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.

Only tried the bomboloni (pizza looked bomb though). I wish the bomboloni were filled inside, but the pistachio & nutella were delicious & fluffy!

Overall amazing place but I have an important feedback: I've tried your pizza with potato two times in a week (Saturday & the next Friday afternoon) & the freshness levels were really different. I understand that you need to sell every piece but this time the pizza was not good, 4/10 maks. I'll definitely come back btw, affogato was amazing too.

It was good but also pretty expensive. The pizza is thick New York style.
