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.

Très délicieux & abordable ! Les beignes & les pizzas sont excellentes. Il s'agit d'un café à visiter chaque fois que je suis dans le quartier.

It was the first time I went there & honestly it wasn't what I expect based on the Google rate. Consider a Cafr style restaurant that you have to pay around 8 dollars for each piece of pizza! Their food & pastries was fresh but not like wow you for 4.7 rate. It worth to go once if you like Italian style cafe restaurant.

Pizza is very tasty & quite different to other options nearby.
Price per slice is a bit high but usually one slice is enough (for me).

Great Roman style pizza. The soppressata pizza was great & the soppressata was the perfect amount of sweet & spicy. The margarita was also phenomenal. Seating is a little small though. Really recommend.
