Hands down, best pizza! I always enjoy a margarita pizza and Genoveses does not disappoint! Sauce is perfectly flavored, toppings are plentiful, and crust is cooked to perfection. This is my second time here because I couldn’t stop thinking about how delicious it was the first time around. We also got a cannoli and their banana pudding cheesecake! Wow!

Old school Italian all the way here with a large menu, excellent execution from the kitchen crew, and outstanding personable service from Melanie. I started with the italian wedding soup followed by a large tasty plate of veal parm with fettuccine. My wife started with a large side salad followed by very large meatballs with fettuccine plate that was the nightly special. The heated bread was a nice touch, too. We will be back!

We got there just before the crowd of what seemed "locals", who all knew Johnny and the menu. Great and Friendly Service (T Y Johnny), Great food and best of all crispy, not too sweet cannoli. Check out their "Daily Specials".

Food was amazing. Pizza was delicious, hot & toasty baguette arrived with the salad. We also got the daily special (baked penne) and it was delicious too. The service was quick and friendly. Even the iced tea was delicious. So glad we decided to try this place out rather than ordering in (but we realized that they have carryout too). We will put this on our list for a re-visit on our next trip! Update, a year later and the food on the return vacation was just as good! Service is fast and friendly. Still highly recommended by us.

Treat yourself to the best Italian place in the area. Yes it’s small but don’t let it fool you. Most likely it will be a challenge for you to get in and wait on amazing pizza but it is worth it. My personal favorite... everything!!! Never had a bad meal or service. They are all a great team that will take care of you like you are their family. Honestly minestrone was great!!! Had this homemade feel to it hearty. Yum! Spaghetti and meatballs yes but what shocked me to the core is marinara sauce. Straight outta heaven!!! Then I tried crab Alfredo pasta this is the best combo!! And since I loved the bread I can only imagine the taste of pizza. Will try it next time for sure!!! Do yourself a favor and try it!

A nice Italian restaurant, the food was good the first time when I had spaghetti and meat balls but the second time I had spaghetti and meat sauce and I could not tell there was meat in the sauce. My wife liked her food both times (she is vegetarian). Our servers were super friendly both times, but the first time there a server who was seating us was a bit hostile (maybe she was having a bad day). Reasonable prices and the atmosphere is comfortable.
