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.
The Roman style pizza was absolutely delicious. Well worth the drive to get there. We tried 4 kinds but the one with potato & caciocavallo was our favourite!
Service is always prompt & friendly, the coffee is classic & Italian, & the desserts are stunning. So is the pizza, but the desserts make it for me! Try the tiramisu which is creamy, & made with cake instead of lady fingers (it's light on the booze taste too).
The food & ambience gave an amazing dining experience. Everything was priced correctly & the service was excellent. I would love to go back & try their Caciocavallo Pizza.
Excellent service comme d'habitude! Pour la première fois aujourd'hui, j'ai goûté le biscuit à la pâte d'amande & confiture d'abricot. Je ne saurais décrire sa fraîcheur, sa texture & l'harmonie du mélange. Ce biscuit nous transporte dans une nouvelle dimension de saveurs incroyable!
J'ai aimé l'ambiance & la nourriture malgré qu'on pas trop d'option sans viande pour les pizzas & sandwich( ma religion) mais toutes les gourmandises sucrés sont délicieuse
Very decent for delivery. The quality held up pretty good- you never know how food will transport but I wasn't mad. This focaccia based pizza pays tribute to classic square tray Italian vibes. It's more like focaccia with toppings as apposed to pizza, you feel me? Very tasty though & definitely worth a shot. Warning: PRICEY to say the least.
I've been to San Gennaro few times now & every time it's been delicious. I've recently started ordering through uber for a delivery & even if it takes close to two hours to get delivered to Laval, it's delicious. Thank you San Gennaro gor an authentic roma pizza.
A perfect café for a casual brunch! The pizza is super soft & tasty; the cannolis & bombolonis are a must-try. I love the pistachio flavour the most. The coffee is also excellent. They have outdoor seating in summer, perfect for a relaxing weekend vibe. Highly recommend!
I very much enjoyed everything here, the pizza, the croissants, the coffee, excellent! Fast & friendly service on a busy day. I highly recommend this place.
