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.

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!
