Genovese's Italian Cafe

So many choices so little time. I spent more time checking dishes passing by me than looking at the menu. Pizza, clam pasta in white wine sauce, mussels pasta in marinara sauce, lasagna, meatballs, everything looked good. I am in a good Italian restaurant. Atmosphere is relaxing great for family.

Taste buds don't lie. The marinara sauce is the best I have tried. Rich savory deep red color tomato sauce coated on pasta turn a plain dish into a delicious treat.

I ordered Zuppa De Clam, hubby got veal parmigiana and we shared an Antipasto salad. My dish was an appetizer plenty portion for a meal. It came with a big bowl of clams soaked with garlic and olive oil, freshly baked Italian bread as a side dish. I ate everything.

The house wine was very decent Italian table wine and reasonably priced. Total bill was under 70 dollars. For the quality of food and service, it worth every penny. We will be back!

Had to call quite a few times to get an answer and it was worth it! I was visiting from WA State & my bf, a Florida native suggested this place because I wanted an east coast meatball sandwich so bad! He said everything he's had here is really good. The man that took our order on the phone was super nice and knew exactly which hotel we were at to deliver to. The delivery driver was super friendly and arrived a few minutes early. Both the sandwich and the pizza was delicious and filling! My bf decided he liked the cheese pizza better than the pepperoni half. I'll eat here again next time I'm in town.

The meet lovers pizza was really good. It was busy but still the normal time for the food. Our server was a little slower but they were busy so not too bad. I will go to eat there again. The ambiance was fine.

Ordered several items to share for carry out: vegetarian salad, garlic bread, chicken alfredo, penne sausage, meatballs marinara, and cafe combo pizza. Considering we devoured almost everything before tapping out, I'd say this place is a hit. We did the same thing last year and it was just as good, so consistency was excellent.

Amazing and authentic Italian food!! Best pizza you can find anywhere! Ever time we are in Daytona, we exclusively dine at Genovese's. Highly recommend the pizza, which is always our go to!!

Delicious manicotti, friendly staff. Got take out but the place looked warm and inviting. Would definitely return next time in town.

Whoa! Genovese's doesn't mess around. When their pizza chefs are *on* here, this is the real deal crispy & chewy, masterfully crafted thin-crust pizza with the perfect little blisters on the edge of the crust that signal that you've found the highest level of pizza baking. They're a little inconsistent though, as I had an amazing pizza on Tuesday at lunchtime, and yesterday's was not as amazing - a bit more haphazard and much less artisanally satisfying.

When Genovese's is *on*, this is the kind of pizza that doesn't rely on toppings to stand out. Instead, it's all about the balance of the slices (they don't droop or sag) and the texture and taste of the crust that 99% of other pizza stores in frankly, the world - could learn a thing or two from.

I stayed in an AirBnb down the street while on vacation and my host declares Genovese's as their favorite pizza spot in the region. So I gave it a shot and am really glad I did! Pizza doesn't typically jive with my daily diet but I DGAF if it's worth it - and the pie I received on Tuesday was SO worth it.

To be clear, this is not the boring and predictable Neapolitan-style pizza that popped up everywhere in the 2000s. This is essentially New York City style - the kind that relies on the exact alkalinity of the water one bakes with. The kind of dough care that produces the greatest bagels on Earth. Last Tuesday I experienced that level of magic from the pizza kitchen at Genovese's. I'm excited to try their other food - maybe on my 4th or 5th visit... but for now, their pizza has earned my attention!

We have past this place many times and decided to try it out. This was our first visit here and I'm glad we tried it. We very much enjoyed our dinner. We started with a glass of wine and shared an antipasto salad and pizza. Everything was excellent. Staff was very friendly and welcoming and the restaurant was very nice. If you haven't been here before, you need to try it. I recommend this place.

Food was excellent. Started off with a great salad with lots of veggies in it,great ranch dressing. Then let's talk about the fresh bread that was light and crunchy. So good. Raviolis, chicken parm, meatballs and sausage were all delicious. And last but not least the sauce was excellent. The service was great. Very accommodating and the wait time was convenient.

Meatball sandwich was good, but small enough for an 8 year old. For $11.00, this thing should be much bigger!
