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.

Absolutely love this spot! It's perfect for a lunch bite & the focaccia pizza is SO good. They clearly use high quality ingredients & everything tastes so fresh. Must try the pistachio bomboloni for a sweet delight after the pizza. By far the best I've tried yet in comparison to others in the city.

First time here. The wait was short. It was packed. A full & popular spot in little Italy. The food is great, I really enjoyed the focaccia & the cannolis. The service is nice. But the coffee was just okay honestly for 6$ it wasn't worth it. The Spicy honey was very light so just ok.

J'ai découvert récemment & j'y retourne maintenant fréquemment. Toutes les slices sont bonne. Ajouter du miel épicé pour l'expérience ultime.
