Gennaro's Pizza & Restaurant, St Pete Beach

For almost two decades now, natives and tourists alike have been coming to Gennaro's Pizzeria and Italian Cuisine. When you first walk into Gennaro's, youac2re greeted with the dessert case! They're all homemade, including the cheesecakes, the cannolis and my favorite, carrot cake. The cannoli shell is traditional dough, but ricotta cheese, sugar and special ingredients, (known only to Peter), are gently spooned into tube. Gennaro's offers so many excellent choices: a counter with few tables where you can grab a quick sandwich or pizza; or, in the dining area, a cozy, quiet, candle-lit room with soft music serenading, with a bottle of Mark West Pinot Noir or Pellegrino waiting to be opened and sipped.
