Review Summary

Reviewers describe Café San Gennaro as an authentic Italian spot with a welcoming vibe, where Roman style square pizzas, fresh pastries, and robust espresso stand out. The pizzas are praised for crisp crusts and flavorful toppings, cannoli with crisp shells and creamy fillings, and pistachio bomboloni that are a dessert highlight. The staff are consistently friendly and attentive, adding to the homey atmosphere and the sense of being in Italy, occasionally with Italian speaking staff. The menu also features focaccia sandwiches and a wide range of sweets, though seating can be limited and the space can feel crowded at peak times. A few notes mention price concerns and occasional confusion about wall pricing, and some reviews point to changes in the coffee that affect the overall experience. Overall Café San Gennaro comes across as a beloved local gem that draws guests for a quick bite, coffee, and desserts as well as a memorable Italian cafe experience.

Hands down, the best Roman-style pizza in the city! Cornetto is right up there too.

Coffee is back to being superb as well! I won't lie their coffee had me worried a few years ago at it wasn't tasty at all. They seemed to have switched to a better blend which made me very happy!

A must for all Montrealers to try.

Cafe San Genaro is always a good time. You immediately feel at home or in Italy where you can get some coffee with a glass if water & eat the BEST bombolone ever. Their ameretti with apricot jam is delicious & their breakfast pizza with an egg on top is the heartiest for a busy day!!

First time & not the last. Great squares but my favorite was the sandwich with pesto on focaccia. Donuts ( i know its not a donut really lol) were amazing & fluffy.

Nice little italian café with a small interior & nice terrasse in summer. Serves pizza & italian pasteries, tried the beignet & it was super good! Pizza was also good, thick crust & generous toppings. It can get a bit crowded inside & places to sit down are not always a guarantee.
