Great local spot for Roman style pizza. We tried a Margherita slice & the pistachio bombolone. Both were delicious. The pizza crust & tomato sauce is awesome. The bombolone was super light with the right level of sweetness.

Il y a un bon choix de pizza & de pâtisserie..le café est aussi délicieux mais c'est tellement petit & toujours très occupé..il faut faire un choix très vite & sortir. J'y suis allé une première fois & comme je ne connaissais pas les produits je regardais partout & essayait de faire un choix rapidement mais je me suis sentie bousculer..

San Gennaro is a fantastic little gem in Little Italy. Just off of St. Laurent, right next to Bottega Restaurant. It's really un-missable & well worth going to. Nothing alleviates the hot Montreal summer like sipping a cool caffe freddo on the terrace at San G. The open kitchen concept is a refreshing change in the cafe scene as you will likely see the owners hard-at-work making delicious pizzas al taglio & classic Italian pastries. You have to try the Nutella bombolone, indulge & get the bigger size! After enjoying many coffees at San Gennaro like I have, you'll somehow never be satisfied with franchised coffee shops anymore. Mauro makes an exceptional latte!

The ambience is spot on too! You walk into authentic old-school Italian music & everyone, staff & customers alike are always smiling. You'll feel as if you've just walked into a cafe in Napoli! The place is still relatively new but it's obvious that it already has many regulars, myself included! As a matter of fact, my boyfriend & I will often drive all the way from Laval to Little Italy just for the killer coffee & friendly staff.

With its young vibe & its fresh take on what a happening cafe should be in Montreal, & whether it's for a simple espresso or grabbing lunch with some old friends, San Gennaro's hip atmosphere & adherence to both quality & tradition will satisfy even the most discerning of Italian pallets!
