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.

Très bon café italien accompagné d'un beigne au sucre frais & exquis! Bonne ambiance à l'intérieur, casual. La terrasse est un grand plus, car peu de place pour s'asseoir à l'intérieur.
