We had a reservation and got sat immediately. Didn’t get drinks until 10 minutes of sitting there. Didn’t get our food until an hour of us being there. Our server was nice and was extremely busy. He was well over worked. They need more servers for how busy they are. Rosemary shrimp was amazing but our food was not.

Absolutely amazing food, atmosphere, and service. You may have to wait a little bit for your food, but I promise you it’s worth it! Everything we had was delectable, from cocktails to our entrees! Cannot recommend enough! I would suggest making a reservation, but luckily, there were seats open at the bar. We had a wonderful experience! ❤️

The food was incredible and the waiter made sure my glass was never empty and the space was very quiet and I could have a good conversation without raising my voice.

Wonderful date nightParking: The step down from side walk to parking lot is dangerous. Witnessed an elderly woman fall on the ground. It was also raining, without significant covering.

The gold star for Italian in this area. It's a little fancy. It's not your corporate run restaurant. This is Italian food by Italian people. The lasagne is superb.

First, make a reservation. Second, if you are handicapped, don't arrive alone. The ramp is fine but the doors open the wrong direction for someone to navigate. The hostess was not pleasant because we didn't have a reservation but they still had space and sat us. Maliya (sp) was our server and she was incredibly sweet (and busy!). Everything we ate, portobello mushrooms, bread, Italian chicken, seafood Alfredo, martinis, all amazing. Service and food was a bit slow on a Friday night but it was well worth it!Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp at entrance but doors and restroom are not handicap accessible.

Says open but it was closed. Our whole group showed up for dinner and it was a ghost town. It’s 2024, y’all can’t figure out how to post your correct hours? Most people nowadays look up restaurants online to see if they are open, etc. That’s how a lot of information is spread, through the internet, but Genusa’s hasn’t quite figured that out yet. It makes me quite nervous when y’all don’t even know when y’all are open or closed.

Best Italian restaurant in north Louisiana, food atmosphere, and drinks are wonderful. Authentic traditional recipes along with some twist to classics
