Café San Gennaro se révèle comme un endroit chaleureux et authentique où l'expérience tourne autour de pizzas en carré fraîches et savoureuses, de sandwiches sur focaccia et de pâtisseries italiennes comme cannolis et bomboloni, le tout accompagné d'un café apprécié par beaucoup; l'ambiance et le personnel, souvent décrits comme accueillants et chaleureux, donnent une impression d'Italie et rendent l'étape conviviale même lorsque le lieu est un peu bondé; la qualité des ingrédients et le savoir-faire des pizzas et des desserts sont régulièrement salués, avec des mentions récurrentes des saveurs riches et d'une texture légère; certaines critiques portent sur un coût parfois élevé et sur des places assises limitées ou des expériences variables liées à l'organisation ou au café; au final, Café San Gennaro est perçu comme une destination incontournable pour goûter à une pizza de style romain, savourer des pâtisseries et prendre un café dans une atmosphère pittoresque qui rappelle l'Italie, particulièrement lors d'un déjeuner ou d'une pause dessert.
It's basically like being in Italy. Have a seat at the bar, enjoy a coffee, a nice slice of pizza & finish off with their delicious sweets. Do yourself a favor & walk in hungry!
Lieu très sympathique avec belle terrasse... si vous voulez un de leur fameux sandwich sur foccacia présentez-vous tôt car ils s'envolent à la vitesse de l'éclair! & quoi dire du choix de pizzas en carrés... elles sont toutes délicieuses! N'hésitez pas à passer par là!
Sunday brunch, Italian edition 🇮🇹🍕☕?
Three slices, one cappuccino, & four self-declared travel experts planning their third'once-in-a-lifetime' trip to Italy. 😏
Great service all day long.
Roman style square pizza with a great variety of fresh toppings. I love the thinly sliced potato topped slabs.
The lemon-basil Gelato is particularly refreshing.
Pistachio bomboloni is delish & decadent.

I've visited Café San Gennaro twice now, & both times were delightful experiences. Their pizza was tasty, but the real standout was their cannolis (the shell was perfectly crisp, while the filling was smooth, creamy, & just the right level of sweetness). All the flavors balanced beautifully, making it one of the best cannolis I've had.
The latte was also well made, & overall, the prices felt fair for the quality you get. The only downside is that seating can be limited, especially during peak hours, so timing your visit matters.
What really adds to the experience is the friendly & welcoming staff, who make you feel right at home. If you're looking for a cozy café with great Italian treats, Café San Gennaro is definitely worth a visit!
They need to update the menu on their wall. Even their staff is confused by the pricing of the items. It wasn't fun to be charged more than what I expected. I was told that I still had to pay for the drink in full or have something at the price I expected to pay, even though it was already made, & they could have the drink themselves. It's not a huge deal, but it comes off as disorganized.
Decided to try all the flavours they had including the speciality ones. The crust was light & crispy except for the rapini & sausage which was very heavy & greasy. :( The flavours are on the subtle side except for the Margherita which stood out. Their tomato sauce is very good. We also tried the pistachio bombolini & it was sadly disappointing. Dough was too chewy & the pistachio filling tastes oily & artificial. On the service side, staff were very efficient & friendly. The interior is bright & well set up. They also have a very cute outdoor space.
