Genovese's Italian Cafe

again we were served some of the very best fettuccine Alfredo I've ever tasted as well as the wedding soup was stunning and the dessert was to die for.

Love their Clams & Mussels. The Zippo is fanrastico! Making my mouth water thinking about it. Their fresh bread, Pizzas, pastas... Manifique! Manga! Martin was friendly until I started asking too many questions. 😅 He over charged me $3+ and when I asked Suzy she corrected. I guess if you want more info than menu shows you gotta pay. 🤷 Otherwise, one of my favorite local DBSHORES Italian restaurants. And they only charge $1 delivery. Loyal patron here. 😋

Quaint little place. Old school. Excellent pizzas. Decent prices.

We loved it. Genovese Italian Cafe is a true gem in Daytona! It is a cozy Italian bistro. The menu is a delightful mix of traditional Italian dishes, each one crafted with authentic flavors and fresh ingredients.

The pasta was perfec, and the sauces are rich and flavorful. I highly recommend The pizza. Its a must-try, with a thin, crispy crust and generous toppings that are simply mouthwatering.

The service at Genovese is outstanding. The staff is attentive.

The cafe’s ambiance is charming, with tasteful decor that adds to the overall dining experience. It’s the perfect spot for a romantic dinner or a relaxed meal with friends and family. And don't forget to save room for dessert—the Tiramisu is divine!

Genovese Italian Cafe is definitely a place I’ll be returning to often. It’s a little slice of Italy right here in Daytona.

The ABSOLUTE best!!! We have been ordering the same pizza just about every week for over 10 years! Extremely consistent, we have NEVER been disappointed.

Picture it... Hawaii 2021... A Sicilian girl marries a Polish guy. They move to beautiful Florida. This man knows nothing about Italian food and mispronounces even the easiest Italian soups at Olive Garden. Over the years, he learns a little... But still tries to impress his wife by ordering fancy things that always disappoint. One Monday the wife just wants a cheese pizza. Simple and delicious. They decide to try somewhere new and he calls and orders a Neoploitan while she is in the shower. Thank God she also asked for an antipasto salad... because when he got home with a pizza with barely any cheese on it and tons of sauce, he about got a divorce! The man now knows to NEVER order a Neoploitan Pizza again. The antipasto was fantastic and saved the day! Now this was NOT the restaurants fault, but for those who are not Italian and don't know.... If you like cheese, this is NOT the pizza for you. Can't wait to reorder and try a real cheese pizza soon from Genovese's.... ?☺️

Fantastic authentic Italian food! We stayed with the bruschetta. It was fantastic. She had the Chicken Parm, I had the chicken Alfredo, and they allowed me to add shrimp. I also had a cup of Italian wedding soup. Everything was delicious. Then I couldn't say no to a cannoli for dessert. If I had to come up with something to complain about? I'd say the music was odd. You go to an Italian place, maybe place some classic Italian music? Lol, not old pop music. Oh, and they had a TV by the front counter, playing Wheel of Fortune. Maybe dim the lights a bit, some candles on the tables, some good soft Italian music. It would help set the mood better.

Have been coming yearly for many years. The food is still excellent, but the service this time was rude. The waiter looked at his watch as he took our order more than an hour before their stated closing time. Our pizza came out with no toppings, and he then informed us it couldn't be corrected because "we're closed."

Hesitant to recommend because of the bad service.

We walked in and were welcomed and told to sit wherever we'd like. The garlic bread with cheese was great and the spinach alfredo pizza was even better. Hands down best pizza ive had
