We love this place, great pizza, fair price and amazing service. Don’t let the outdoors change your mind, go check and have a great meal.

The BEST linguini & clams I've ever had! Prefer it with the red sauce, but the white sauce is perty dang good, too! The pizzas are reaaally good, though a friend of mine thinks they put too much cheese on their pizzas. How the #@$&!! can you put too much cheese on pizza??!! Ravioli also good. Finally have their indoor dining back. Nice little mom & pop kinda place.

The best veggie pizza ever!! So I have a very sensitive stomach and have very limited options when eating out. I know first hand this place uses market fresh ingredients, none of the canned, processed, greasy, frozen food that irritates my stomach, so I am thrilled to have found this place where I can enjoy my favorite Italian food. It's like taking a step into Italy. Thank you Chef Molina and Chef Aricia for this wonderful experience, I will definetely be back.

I've been coming to Genovese's since it opened. It has always been a quaint neighborhood restaurant with good food. The restaurant has changed hands a couple of times since 1980, but the food is great. Different than the Genovese's of my youth, but a good kind of different.

I went by this place so many times without thinking about it. My friend wanted lasagna and this place came up on the search. They were out of lasagna by the time we got here,but we were not disappointed. He had the Italian sausage sandwich and I had the chicken parm. It was delicious and the service was just amazing.

Can we talk about that curry chicken and apple salad? How delicious! We ordered from Genovese's last night and this salad was a winner. Very shareable portion for 2 or even 3 adults. I woke up wanting more salad!

Great sandwiches, the Ant had sausage sandwich and I had the old school variety. It didn't come with peppers but Nick, the compere, added it. Nick is young but he has old school skills that wouldn't be out of place in a great NYC restaurant, he's freindly and accommodating, and assertive in a way that's very helpful, in other words, pays attention and steers you along effectively and efficiently so you get what you want easily. So food is good for sure, but the service is extremely skilled. Even if you're full, I suggest you get an order of meatballs to go

It's a small friendly restaurant with great atmosphere and awesome food. We usually order their giant pizza for family events and picnics. Everyone looks forward to it.

Meatball sandwich and beer for under $10 lunch special. Big ups!

I give it 5 stars not b/c of the food entirety. I use to visit with ny 87 year old grandmother. They would snap out a table for us when really busy. My grandmother qas also in a wheel chair so the access inside and out was easy, though it does get tight. The restaurant is not too big. Order the kunch menue and a glass of wine. You won't be let down.

We LIVE this place. The pizza is excellent, andthat's by Easy Coast standards. We LOVE TUSCAN ANGEL HAIR PASTA. And the chef cake out and talked to me and shared the recipe. Hidden Jewel...

This is a small gem tucked away between residential and commercial area. Cute and cozy place where they treat you with kindness and genuine interest. Owner came out and introduced himself and asked how everything was and stayed talking to us for awhile. Great tasting food and excellent service. Wonderful experience with my family. Thank you for taking such good care of us!

Simply delicious!! I had the Penne Vodka. I'm very picky but took a chance on this dish and it was soooo good!! 😋😋😋 It was very nice to see the chef and his wife greet their guests and ensure everything was tasting good. A very special place for sure!! Well deserved 5 stars! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

First time coming here. I was just going to keep it simple for me, spaghetti and minestrone soup. My love talked me into getting the dinner special for two. So, we got two spaghetti with a meatball, and sauce, two garden salads (which were delicious) tasty warm garlic bread, and pizza. I still got a cup of minestrone, which was also very delicious. We will be coming back, and I highly recommend it.

Cozy restaurant, loved the outdoor seating but on a hot day decided to eat inside with AC. My meal (Penne Vodka) with chicken also included side salad (large portion for a side salad 👍) and the best garlic bread. Pasta was amazing, portion was large enough to take half home. Service was friendly and professional, very clean restaurant, will definitely be back.

The best pizza that we ever ate.A cozy place.

Latest menu Pizza is very delicious

I have been coming to Genovese's Pizza since I was middle/high school years. The pizza is amazing good and pasta meal are great.

One of my favorite places to eat♡ The food is amazing thanks to Hugo, the waiters are always courteous and on top of things. What I love most of all, my doggie is always welcomed. The waiters even bring water out for my doggie♡

This restaurant is a hidden gem that serves high end food at a great price. I like sitting outdoors for the celebrity sightings.

I like this family style and there are not many commercial restaurants. The pasta tastes good and the staff is very good! The decoration is very warm! A great place to chat with friends

I moved here from east coast and I spend awhile trying to find the same style pizza just like back home and today, I finally found my new pizza spot!!! Genovese is delicious and customer service was fantastic as well!!! Will be coming back again!!! Hats off to the chef for making a great pizza pie!!!

This Italian restaurant has been around for long time, i took my 1st love here, 25 years ago. It's a small romantic, great service, great prices, and most of all great tasting food, highly recommended.

Had to check out this place and oh my goodness they best pasta I've ever eaten. Their veggie soup is really good. Was going to order their ravioli but, they no longer serve them anymore. Definitely have to try their signature meals, service is very friendly! Love supporting small businesses <3

This place has an adorable and welcoming vibe that has kept my family and me coming back for years. I'll be straight with you; we've stuck to the same pizza, salad, and wings routine during all those visits, and they've never failed to impress. Recently, I decided to venture into trying their pasta, and it completely caught me off guard—I can't believe I've been missing out on it for so long! If you're a fan of surprises, I highly recommend giving their pasta a try.

My family and I have been coming here for 16 years. The new owner is changing things up in such a great way that I know I will be coming here for many years to come. The food is so satisfying that you don't want to stop eating and you can't wait to try something different when you come back. The staff are nice, very polite. Very clean (bathrooms and dining area). Parking is good. And the new outside patio area is great for summer eating. My go to is BBQ wings as appetizers, chicken fettuccine Alfredo and a lemonade. The pizza is also amazing. I've had almost everything on the menu and have never been disappointed. Come eat here!

We were a party of 7. Had pizza, pasta and beer. The pizza was great! The two pasta dishes were outstanding and the beer very cold. We sat outside and thoroughly enjoyed our dinner in this wonderful mom & pop restaurant. I definitely recommend that you try this place. It will not disappoint.

CAN NOT say enough good things about this place. Our go-to low key neighborhood Italian spot. NEVER disappoints! The whole menu is authentically amazing, but my heart is all about the Tuscan salad (with shrimp). When food and service is like family, you can’t lose.

Love the vodka penne and garlic bread especially here! Lovely ambiance, great prices. A great gem of Alhambra that has been there since 1980. I love to support small businesses like these that have stood the test of time.

I've been coming here for years and hadn't been back since they got new owners. I was pleasantly surprised to see they kept the same menu. The food seemed slightly tastier than before. The food was delicious! Service was very good. Our server Nathaniel was super friendly and always checking to see that we were good.

Cute Italian eatery in Alhambra. The pizza is not my favorite (it has a thin crust), but the pastas and salads are delicious. The main seating area is outside. Definitely enough space to maneuver a wheelchair or walker if you use one. If you have a large party make sure to call ahead because there’s only one large table. There is parking in the back.

I've been going to Genoveses for 21 years. My wife & i have gone there on our first date. Every year afterwards we've been going every year on our anniversary. Every time we're gone there the freindly service, atmosphere & the food has been excellent. I really recommend Genoveses for a date or dinner. I'm really proud to say this place is the best.

Great spot, before the pandemic there was a cute outdoor patio as well as a few tables inside. Now it's only take out but the service, staff and food is just as good! I phoned my order in, got there within a couple minutes of when they said it would be ready and the timing was perfect!

The $50 two-person dinner special can feed 3 or 4 people… There are early bird specials, as well. The pastas and pizzas range from no-frills basics done well to more intricate. Nice outdoor area with a few indoor seats. Solid neighborhood gem!

Really good pizza and quick, friendly service.

Everything is so good. Service is wonderful.

While there was barely anything I could eat here (I have to be gluten free), I tried the minestrone soup without noodles and it was freaking amazing. I own the place right next door called Free Spirited and I wanted to support a neighbor, and my goodness I'm glad I did 🤤. It's hard to find delicious 10/10 food and this place delivered. Usually the lack of gluten free options would drop a rating from me to a 3 or 4 star review, but the soup was THAT GOOD it deserves 5 stars. I look forward to grabbing the occasional snack when I'm on my way into work :).

I haven't been here since I was a kid, I came to this spot and brought my family and we were all very satisfied. We were shown a lot of love and were well taken care of exceptionally. The food was amazing, along with some of the best customer service I've ever received. So happy to try this spot after almost 15 years since I last visited. I will be coming back to try more of what was on the menu. I can't wait to go back!

We came here as a party of 4 and wow what a find! This little mom-and-pop Italian spot is cozy, welcoming, and full of charm. The customer service? Absolutely amazing. Our server was a rockstar super friendly, attentive, and went out of her way to make the kids feel included (which doesn’t always happen at other places). We tried the Calamari, Sausage Link Sandwich, Italian Sandwich, Lasagna, and Fettuccine Alfredo everything was delicious! Is it the best Italian food I’ve ever had? Maybe not, but when you combine really good food with top-notch service, it’s an experience that’s more than worth it. If you’re looking for a hidden gem in the neighborhood with a true family-owned feel, this is the place. Highly recommend checking it out.

A charming hidden spot that truly delivers. Every item tasted amazing at a fair price. Seating options include both indoor plus outdoor areas. The staff feels genuinely welcoming. Street parking makes stopping by easy. A place worth revisiting.

A nice italian spot with great atmosphere. With better service. The owner/ server is an absolute phenomenal person. The food was exceptional. First time of many coming here!

this place is SOO good!! literally so happy that it’s here in alhambra - if you’re not careful you can totally miss it as it’s a small mom & pop shop, but trust me you’ll want to try it!! i’ll admit, I was hesitant to try Genovese’s at first because I saw it’s rated 3.6 stars, but i looked into them and most of the low reviews were from years ago during COVID, which I don’t think gives the current experience a fair shot. i’m really glad I gave it a chance because this place totally won me over! my favorite thing is their $50 dinner special for two—it’s such a good deal at $25 per person. Each person gets an entire plate of spaghetti, salad, garlic bread, their choice of wine/beer/soft drink AND you get to share a pizza. Everything tasted fresh and full of flavor, and the vibe is welcoming with the friendliest staff. so happy i found them!

Great little gem. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced! Indoor and outdoor seating available. Staff is incredibly friendly. Street parking.

1st of this place was walking distance to the GreenTree Inn. Both Genovese and GreeTree were the cutest, cleanest, best service, best price. Genovese had great clams and angel hair pasta. The serving size was great. The pizza was delicious. The service was so serene and friendly. This place is definitely a come back.

We were staying at a hotel up the street, and was looking for a walkable place to eat when we saw this Italian eatery. It is a small mom & pop (?) place, where you order at the counter, go sit and they bring your food to you, type place. Not only was the customer service great, but what we had to eat was outstanding!! I had the Linguine & clams…👍🏻👍🏻 My wife had the chicken parmigiana sandwich 👍🏻👍🏻 And our 2 vegetarian friends, had a pizza and eggplant parm sandwich 👍🏻👍🏻 They do have limited beer and wine, plus sparkling water. We will definitely be back next time we are staying in this area!

Omg…. This is a must! Absolutely hands down best fettuccine Alfredo and cheesy garlic bread, I’ve ever had! Cute little mom and pop feel too it!

Food absolutely amazing, despite it being on the side of the road, the food tasted great, servers were nice and thoughtful and the atmosphere felt like I was in a small backyard in Italy. 10/10

Amazing service and food! Mark was our waiter he was new but that didn’t stop him from helping us he was friendly and welcoming. Moe (the owners daughter? jumped in to help answer my questions and gave me some recommendations for my restrictions. PIZZA 🍕 was amazing and the different sizes help you choose for any activity. My wife loved the calamari was better that any place around. We will definitely be returning.

This was my first time there, and the atmosphere was great. The food was amazing. I loved it. 😋 you must go.

Great place for a romantic date or family brunch. Plenty of parking. The tables inside are cozy, and the tables outside are great for large groups. Pizza and sandwiches were delicious. Great vegan dishes too.

Delicious Pasta, Shrimp scampi and pizza. Good service friendly staff.

Genovese is delicious and customer service was fantastic as well!!! Will be coming back again!!! Hats off to the chef for making a great pizza pie!!!

New owner with same great menu. All the dipping sauces, pasta sauces and salad dressings made on site. Greeted by the new owner. She is energized and passionate about the food and patrons experience. Will definitely be back soon for the great food and atmosphere. Recommend the angel hair pasta

OH MY FULL TUMMY AND HEART. Felt from the moment we walked in, and it shows all the way through the food. Comfort food naww... takes you to your happy place and fills it with amazing, richly seasoned, and lovingly cooked food. Our hostess welcomed us and treated us as if we were long-time customers. My new monthly Italian spot.

Always a good meal and lovely staff. They just updated their outdoor seating. Still 20 years behind style wise but they keep trying. And very dog friendly.

New management. Looks so much better. Pizza was good as usual. Ordered pick up and was as promised. Great friendly service. Definitely an upgrade for the most part.

My mom & stepdad like ordering from local restaurants. I do the pick up & delivery & ordered the fettuccine with alfredo sauce & shrimp. The sauce tasted great but sadly, there were only 4 shrimp in the order.

Love this place. Food good, service friendly, and lunch specials amazing! Parking not so great but if you beat lunch rush, it should be fine.

The meatball sandwich was delicious. Definitely would order again. Small place...lots of take out service. Indoor and outdoor seating. Italian lunch and dinner menu. Worth a visit. Staff was helpful Nd friendly.

Great little place on the edge of Alhambra. Service was really friendly and all the food we tried was good. The pizza was super good. The dough had good flavor and the pizza was cooked perfectly. The minestrone soup was really good too.

I tagged along with friends for a quick bite but sadly it was way way too busy. I heard a celebrated note worthy chef purchased this little eatery from a couple who knew the original owners and namesake. I remember grabbing Friday night dinner with my folks every Friday night here to catch up ... (from high school into college) It's looking like it's going to be one of those MUST BE SEEN at locations. Can't wait to see it's transformation!

Food was delicious but wait time for pizza too long. Very hot inside restaurant. Need air conditioner. Their online ordering didn't work.

Low key resturant. Great warm atmosphere for Italian food and can be romantic for a date. Service is not extremely responsive due to only having one waitress. Prices are average but the quality is excellent. Stop by if your in the area, you will not regret it.

Genovese's is a very modest restaurant, without any fancy frills, but it has wonderful Southern Italian food. The service is friendly and helpful. You should note that most of the seating is outside in a well-covered patio.

I haven't been here in a while. I was craving something different & decided to get garlic shrimp scampi to go. I unknowingly arrived at shift change time. The outgoing wait person was not very friendly & surprisingly overwhelmed as two parties who, finished with their meals, were waiting to pay, & I was waiting to order. Note: the three parties--a couple with their son; two women; and I--were the only ones in the place. The incoming wait person came forward to help the flustered wait person & begin their shift. The new person was nice, kind, apologized for the delay, & also took two phone orders, one before & one after helping me, then a couple walked in for a meal and their order was taken quickly. I suggest the first wait person might take some hints from the second wait person, be calm, be nice, be helpful, it will work out. As frustrating as it may seem, sometimes one has to stay a little over ones' shift to help transition. Also management, maybe install another phone line & another electronic check out device. My past times here, we sat outside; I learned the majority of the seating for this place is outside with only four very small tables inside. . Food was good. I might return.

Great food at great prices. Available parking is limited. At times the speed of service can be slow depending on how busy it gets so give yourself plenty of time to sit back and enjoy. The dining room is very tiny but there is also outdoor seating. Inside there are 3 tables for four, and 3 tables for 2. They also offer the SuperSize, XXXLarge 24" pizza for your parties. Two Thumbs UP!

Stopped by for dinner with friends of mine. The pizza was delicious! I ordered fried calimari and the minestrone soup as appetizers. The outside seating was lovely. The restaurant's location was very nice and our waitress was very kind and helpful. Would definitely come back again!

Haven't been there for a good 6 years cause we moved out of the area went today cause I was in Alhambra ordered a large pizza and a meatball sandwich. By the time I got home I noticed the pizza was burnt. The prices for what we got was to high. There was very little toppings on the pizza the meatball sandwich wasn't the same any more. The bread was soggy. Won't recommend that place ever.

As a child, genovese's was my 5 star to rate everything by. To me they had the most flavorful recipes and amazing food. I came to check, and did not have the 5 star I remember. Not that it was a horrible experience, but it's different. The meatball sandwich half is 2 meatballs in bread, with sauce and mozzarella but the meatballs lacked enough herbs to carry me to a 4. The cheese was fine, but the sauce also was not,, chunky, for lack of a better word,, it didn't feel like authentic or tase like a lot of love was used to make it.. I do make my own meatballs and sauce at home to this day and its just not enough to push it to a 4. The garlic bread was garlic laden, but the bread was really thin.

The food is great but the service could use some work I called for a pick up order and got put on hold for 15 min! Then I hung up and called back like 8 times in a row and got sent to voicemail I waited like 15 min before calling again got an answer and was about to be put on hold again

The salad does not taste fresh. Im not sure if its made there or if its store bought. The pizza is hand made in their pizza oven. There is some seating inside, but that gets full quick.

It wasn't the same as before. I believe there's new owners and there's not that much space inside. It was smaller then before. Looks like they took some tables out. So we ate out side but it was cold they had no heat lampes. The pizza didn't taste the same.

The food was ok. I ordered the meatball sub and was disappointed. It was obvious the meatballs were premade and frozen, as they lacked in flavor and taste. What I did like about this restaurant was the outdoor patio and the waitstaff. The waitresses were very friendly and checked on our table just enough times that it wasn't annoying and the patio area was spread out enough that you didn't feel cramped. I would give this place another try, I would just make sure to order something else.

The service and atmosphere was amazing. The food did dissapoint because everything seemed bland with no real freshness to it. Will I go again? Only as a last resort.

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I called 10 minutes prior to the listed Opening Time to order a cheese pizza for take-out and was quoted 30 minutes to be ready. I arrive exactly 30 minutes later to be told "it's gonna a few more minutes." I look around and see 2 seated tables, one with two pizza pies already served and as I'm continue to wait, one pizza pie delivered to the other table. I convey my observations to the waitress and say "How could three pizzas be served before me when I called before you opened your doors? Was I not the first order of the day?" Waitress says "I apologize. It will only be a few more minutes." I say to her "You make me feel like you guys don't value your take-out customers." Again, all the waitress says is "Sorry, it will only be a few more minutes." Absolutely Ridiculous!!!

I've been coming to Genovese's for years. The pizza I love to order is the Genovese's special pizza full of toppings. However, on February 3, 2020 I ordered the this pizza and the quantity of toppings were very, very, very, very small. I complained about it and they claim that they put some topping under the cheese so the vegetables and sausage will not burn. There were no toppings under the cheese. Very disappoint and they lost my business.

I'm guessing it's under new ownership because that did not taste like the classic Genovese's pizza I remember from a few years ago, where the crust is thick yet soft with a slight tiny bit of sweetness. The dough was thin and hard and tasted like they added too much expired yeast.

I ordered an Italian sub and picked up my food around 6pm. I was really disappointed. The bread was kind of hard and was stail. Genovese's always has good food, but tonight was not good. I was really bummed out.

Terrible service. Forgot about our order. But the waiters are more interested about when there next break is, rather than getting us our simple, nothing fantastic sandwich and minestrone soup. 25 minutes later, we get our so-so food. Two people walked in after us, and got there there food before we did. And oh, yeah, I can hear the three employees in the small kitchen, debating who is taking the next break. And then you hear our waiter say, "Oh no, I need to get them their soup and sandwich." What a joke! I wont be going back there again. New owner or not.

If I could leave no stars I would. This was horrible pizza, first when I asked for thin crust the guy said it’s not their thing. That should have been my first sign to leave. We still ordered a small pizza, what a waste of money. I asked for a thin crust pizza with basil. Wow, I didn’t think you could ruin a pizza but they sure did. It was not a thin crust pizza and then I was giving just a cheese pizza. When I went back to explain I was giving the wrong pizza, all they did was throw some basil on the pizza and told me here you go. When I asked did you just throw basil on top of the cheese pizza and give it to me. They said that’s how they make it, we just put fresh basil. I have never had a pizza that they do not bake the toppings. To make matters worse when we got home we noticed the pizza was burnt and there was almost no sauce. It was basically just burnt bread and globs of cheese. My husband actually got nauseated. What a waste of money. This was our first experience and our last we will not be returning. Your better off going to Charlie’s Trio or Italianos pizza in Highland Park.

Horrible customer service. They answer phone and place you on hold and you hear them having personal conversations. I was on hold for about 6 minutes and I got tired of waiting and listening to their gossip so I hung up and ordered from Charlie's Trio.

So dissapointed with the pasta. I'm still kicking myself for having paid $17+ dollars for spaghetti with watery marinara sauce and sausage. The pizza was acceptable. I prefer a thinner, crisper crust. Pizza only had 3 toppings, but it made the pizza so soggy.

Not somewhere i would eat again. Over priced nothing special about the food or place the spaghetti and pizza i ordered had no taste very disappointing. And the young girls working there seemed confused and disorganized .They took forever to ring me up.

I was very disappointed in the pizza I got tonight. I usually get the jumbo size pizza for me and my family and tonight when we got our usual, we all looked at it and were suprised, it looked like a large. It was so small and thin and had very little toppings. We never usually finish a whole pizza but tonight was different. I've never been so disappointed when ordering a pizza. It just seems like the pizzas are getting smaller and smaller and the price is going up, totally not worth it. On top of that the taste was different, big two thumbs down. This may be the last time I order from here.

How times have changed......my family and I loved coming here. Today we came and service was horrible. We waited about 10 minutes outside for some to come and take our order after walking inside and informing them wed be outside waiting. She took our order asked if we wanted souo or salad, we said soup would be fine. She comes back and tells us no more soup is available. How do you not know you have no soup at 6pm?? We ordered the combo for 2 and it says "fountain drinks" when I asked she tried to tell us they werent included. Ummm yes they are. So she brought us our soda with a bad attitude. Food taste different, it didnt have that "homemade" taste. Overall very disappointed.

Went there on 6/8/2019 on Saturday and I waited for more then 20min. And no one aknowlege me i had to call the restaurant to get service outside there new patio because i saw the asian waiter and a kitchen helper just cleaning a table inside the restaurant and looking out but not getting service it seem it was more important to clean that table then to attend me and my family after this im done with this place i been going to this joint for more then 20 yrs its sad how i was treated never again i already told friends about it and there not going ever to this place.. There service sucks!!! your better off going to Charlie trios !!!

Their pizza was simply horrible. I went there for years and I don’t know if it’s the management, but the pizza that they serve now is disgusting overpriced it tastes like frozen pizza. Spoke to the manager or whoever was in charged and he said he didn’t care.

Last Saturday I order 2 easy items to go . They were not busy at 6pm when I ordered. After asking twice where's my take out, they had forgotten about me. It took 43 min to get my food. What was unforgivable , I was not even offered an apology. This was the first and last time I'll be going there. Take it from me they don't care.

Terrible experience today. Was there for lunch with coworkers, waited over an hour to get our food. Then we asked about our order, the waitress, who appeared spaced out, uttered something incomprensible and offered no apology. We were very disappointed and will not be returning. There was no manager present. There are many other Italian restaurants nearby with better service and better management.

Great food but the service is terrible. I stopped by on 02/17/24. Despite the place being empty, my order was not taken for 20 mins. When a party of 6 showed up, they were taken care of first despite arriving second. Absolutely horrible service!

The staff was nice nothing bad to say about that. This was my first time here the reviews look good. I ordered a personal pizza. Looked good cheese was cheesing could have been a bit crisper. But honestly it was gross. The taste of the dough is very sweet. It tastes more like a sweet bread than a pizza dough. O couldnt get passed it. I ate one slice and then tried to eat another, because I paid $16, I was going to eat this pizza. But none I couldnt I spit out the bite and sadly threw away the rest of it. If you want good pizza visit Angelos 8 minutes away....idk whay this was but pizza no
