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.

All I can say is wow! The decor is excellent. I loved all the oldies music playing. The pizza & dessert was out of this world! Last but not least was the excellent service of Thomas. His charm & grace alone warrants another visit. See you soon & many thanks!

La pizza burrata était la meilleure. Il n'y a pas beaucoup de place assises pour manger.

My favourite spot in town for the best pizza, pistachio filled croissant & affogato! Great spot for a stop during a biking journey through town, for a quick business meeting or even to impress a date! Variety of pizza selection, cannot go wrong with any choice. Staff is always friendly & go the extra mile for their clients. One great example I experienced, I ordered an affogato. To my approved request, I had it customized to be served on a flavourful gelato of my choice & to top it up with a shot of Bailey's! Their quality of coffee is amongst the best in town as well! Looking forward to my next visit, as usual! Thank you for the delightful experiences!

La pizza était super bonne! La croûte était croustillante & moelleuse, il y avait beaucoup de sauce, c'était super! Malheureusement, je n'ai pas vécu la même expérience avec le beigne. J'ai trouvé celui-ci beaucoup trop huileux. J'avais l'impression de croquer dans une éponge d'huile. C'est tout ce que je vais dire dessus. C'est très petit comme endroit, alors les tables semblent plus service de place pour attendre sa commande que pour manger. Finalement, ils m'ont dit que ma commande allait prendre 15 minutes, alors que cela a pris le double. J'avais bien faim😆 Je ne recommande pas cet endroit pour les étudiants, car je trouve cela un peu cher.

The pizza is great, but now it's way too expensive. 55$ for a large pepperoni pizza, it was 43$ 6 months ago. There's good & cheaper around there.

Super bonne pizza aux patates & incroyable focaccia à la mortadelle. Je conseille le beignet fourré à la crème de pistache : on sent bien le goût & c'est presque addictif ! Jolie deco en + de cela & un accueil très chaleureux. Je recommande !
