This was our first visit and we were not disappointed. I had the lasagna and my husband had the veal marsala and they were amazing. The homemade bread and dipping sauce were to die for. And the owner Rosie, is the most amazing lady, waiting on people and having conversations with each table. The price for the food was most reasonable, the restaurant had a lovely atmosphere, and even as it filled up, it was relaxing and not overly noisy at all. I highly recommend this place, I cant say enough good things about it. What a hidden gem. We had no idea it was there.

First time ever in Newton, Kansas. Genova Italian Restaurant was recommended as a must have. It did not disappoint! Exceptional tasting food, very well portioned, reasonably priced. Rosie runs the place and takes time to make customers feel welcomed while working her tail off helping her staff.

My daughter chose to have her Birthday dinner here. The warm bread was fantastic. The food was delicious my husband said best Alfredo sauce he has ever eaten. Portions were great and we cleaned our plates. Server brought out a Birthday treat with chocolate sauce and Cheesecake! We will be going back again.

This is my first time eating there last night and ended up with food poisoning from eating the mussels. Food was not as good as i would have thought it to be. Took over an hour to get our meals and it was extremely hot in there like the a/c wasnt working correctly. Several ppl fanning themselves. Best part about it all was the staff was super friendly.

Good lasagna. Rest of my party loved their orders too. Big portions are really big, like two meals worth.

I really wanted to come and see what the hype was all about. The bread were amazing. However, the seafood noodles were fine. My boyfriend also got the seafood noodles. I guess next time we should try something different and it may be better. The food took quite long, but it wasn’t too long so I don’t mind it.

Great food!! I normally dont like those white tasteless noodles served at other places, but these noodles were flavorful and delicious. I savored each bite of the chicken parm. The olive oil dip was laden with herbs and a melee of flavors. Great service!! Coffee was a nice French roast, just right. Everything was an orchestration of smells, sights, tastes. Sinatra music would have been over-the-top. What a culinary surprise in Kansas!!

I have really mixed emotions about our visit. It was not at all what I was expecting but still rather tasty. Our waiter was a little odd, with an extremely dry sense of humor but it took us a while to figure that out. He and the rest of the staff were so kind and REALLY hustling to keep up with a Saturday night crowd. My meal (eggplant parmesan) was okay, probably 3 star-ish. My dads was much better. He had a sausage and veggie dish with pasta. The bread on the table was excellent!! Overall, I would come back if I was in the area.

Review №25

Amazing food. They do have gluten free noodles but maybe cook staff needs to know exactly what gluten intolerance is. When I ordered a gluten free meal the shrimp came breaded....once fixed the meal was Devine! The asparagus perfect, the shrimp so good, the potatoes yummm!!!! And the mozzarella 😘. Worth the wait, worth the mix up. One last complaint though is maybe the owner should review how the plates are collected and brought to the back. The little “Hallway” by the bathrooms is a dirty and crowded.

Every time we go to Genovas its ALWAYS a pleasant time. The staff is always so personable, the food is great and everyone seems to leave satisfied. I have yet to have a bad dish or bad service. Everywhere you go will have their days but I really feel like this place does everything they can to always have good days and to treat people the way they deserve. It isnt a fancy shmancy (chain restaurant) place to eat but to me that doesnt matter a bit. The atmosphere and food is what matters and I cant say enough good things about Genovas. Even my kiddos left saying they really make you feel like you matter in there. We will continue to go there whether it be for family dinner or a casual date night. Thank you Genova for giving Newton such an awesome place to eat and for making everyone who walks in feel SO welcome!

Review №45

I love going to Italian restaurants and looked forward to having a reason to try Genova. Walking in it didnt make a great impression but the clients that were eating seemed pleased so I decided to give it a try. The service was very slow and impersonal. We ordered the Shrimp Scampi special and simple spaghetti with marinara. The wait for food was unreasonable but when it finally came it was very hot. The spaghetti was bland, there was barely enough sauce on it to color the noodles. The shrimp scampi, lets just say its a shame the shrimp sacrificed their lives to end up in this dish. If the waiter had bothered to check on how we were doing the only response he would have gotten was disappointed. Waste of time and money!!! Will not return!!!!

This is my FAVORITE restaurant. Yes, it is in a strip mall, yes the ambiance isnt amazing, yes it takes a while to get your food, BUT MY GOSH the food is to DIE for. The fresh bread they bring is HEAVENLY, and when I say fresh I mean WARM FRESH BREAD THEY JUST TOOK OUT OF THE OVEN! And the oil and vinegar to dip it in is inspired!!!! All the sauces are exceptional, and I would even say superior to anywhere else (with the exception of the marinara which is bland). The ala panna sauce is amazing, and the creamy white wine sauce with capers and jalepeños is divine--honestly if it isnt served in heaven I will be disappointed!!!! I recommend this place to everyone. I have been several times and have never been anything other than excited for the next time to go. I dont normally gush about a place, but I LOVE Genovas!!!!!

I believe they need to decorate to match the type of food theyre serving. Help needs more work with being more professional, not working in a greasy spoon. Food was really great, portions could have been a bit more on some of the more expensive plates. No alcohol, big downer!!! Would have made a difference in the whole dining experience.

I have always had wonderful service there, though admittedly I have only been there a couple times.I asked if they did catering, and the owner came out to talk with me. We discussed the event (my wedding) and how many people were going to be there. My mother is a regular customer, (to the point where the waitress ordered for her) Rosie (the owner) made several suggestions for dishes that would keep well and would suit a large crowd, and then sent me home with half servings of four different dishes to try so that I could pick what I wanted.She was also very honest about the cost-to-portion ratio on several of the dishes I was considering, and seemed much more concerned that I get the best value than that she get the biggest sale.I will definitely be going back, and will be using their services for catering my wedding.

My pregnant sister was craving this restaurant today. We came in with less than an hour before the restaurant was due to close and the staff did not hurry us.
