Had a wonderful time. I've wanted to stop by forever and yesterday was finally the day! From walking up to the stylish building to the friendly staff greeting us the second we walked it, everything was just as I wanted it. The atmosphere was laid back with a taste of swanky, the food was incredible... I loved it all. Garlic bread, citrus olives, rosemary mixed nuts, pizza, and the potato gnocchi... was wonderful start to finish. Our server was friendly and the perfect balance of attentive and letting us have our privacy. Will gladly be back again!
Definitely a "must" when in Janesville whether you've lived there for years or just passing through. It's difficult to narrow down what items to order because everything looks so spectacular! The perfect patio setting for a nice sangria on a summer's eve while enjoying a farmers market fresh pizza. Not only is their food amazing, but the staff is incredibly attentive and willing to offer up suggestions if you're having a difficult time narrowing down your selection. Truly can't go wrong with any choice you make and looking forward to our next visit!
Great food. Great atmosphere and can't say enough about the friendly service & smiles. Looking for something tasty with an affordable price that feels like a black tie outing, check this place out. Also get the steak meatball and any pizza-all amazing handmade with the best crust I've tasted in a long time. I posted this photo of an appetizer I didn't get the name of that is incredible combining things I didn't realize go together like wild boar, apricot jam, and various cheeses.
Wow. I read some of the reviews on here and I had to walk away, take some deep breaths and get back at writing this. I have to think some had much more going on in their life other than a day/night at Genisa. I absolutely love everything about the Genisa. The vibe, food and drinks are awesome and can be customized to some degree. All you have to do is ASK. The crew working at Genisa work hard to make every single visit an experience. You need something they are generally on it BEFORE you ask but know if you ask they will go to great lengths to make it happen. That being said, if you are a diva or a drama queen do not ruin the awesome vibe for the rest of us. Stay home. Again, it's an experience to be savored and shared. A community of people. The social vibe inside or outside has so many benefits. But, if you want to be alone in your experience tell them that and I'm certain they will make it happen. The views are amazing too!! Some people will never be happy no matter what you do or how you do it. It's clear some pleasure in writing a tunnel vision review. Go. Please go and tell them Teresa sent you. Actually, I hope I see you there!
Genisa has surpassed Lark for me as Janesville's best restaurant thanks to the warmth of the service, the cozy atmosphere with so many thoughtful little details in the decor, and the amazing vegan meatballs pictured made with actual vegetables not tofu/soy! The tiramisu is one of the best I've ever had-- perfectly creamy, not soggy. Cleanliness is impeccable, you can watch your food being made, and staff is professional and clearly a well-managed team-- as a former longtime restaurant worker, this is a pleasure to see.
Don't be fooled by the humdrum streetfront - inside lies a very contemporary interior and surprisingly good, modern Italian food. Mushroom risotto in particular was amazing. Complaints are nits by comparison - cocktails could use better ice, and service can be spotty dirty forks get left behind between courses, waiter disappeared for 10 minutes at the end of the meal. But overall, a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
My wife and I decided to give this place a try. Initial impression was " looks nice in here". Waitress was very nice and friendly. Service was good. Ordered 2 pizza's and they were a decent size, 12 inches, enough to share. We both ordered the Margarita and it had very little to NO MOZZARELLA!!!! The crust was all sauce and hardly NO MOZZARELLA. They used 1/2 a mozzarella ball! The sauce was awful! Hard to describe the flavor, but my wife and I forced ourselves to eat it and not waste it! I have never, ever complained about brick oven pizza. In fact, it is my favorite type of pizza, but this was by far the worst in terms of flavor and lack of ingredients. Definitely, will not be returning.
My husband and I had our first experience at Genisa tonight. The place was busy, but the serving flow was fluid. Sasha serves us and made our experience amazing! She was genuine, positive and had great recommendations of the menu. Her experience and etiquette spoke volumes!! My husband and I had such a great experience and decided to stay on the back balcony with a bottle of wine and a cigar after dinner. Perfect date night!
After watching the construction progress from the beginning it was wonderful to be able to visit in person. My freind and I were sitting on the expansive deck enjoying the summer afternoon. We ordered the Fungahi Pizza which was absolutely delicious. The attention to detail was evident as the scallions on the pizza were cut at an angle and our server was beyond attentive. For now this place is the best kept secret, but it won't be that way for very long.
This is my favorite restaurant in town. I love that they've added pasta to their menu to compliment the meatballs, I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite between the lasagna and brown butter gnocchi. My SO likes their pizzas and always orders the NY pepperoni pizza. All of the staff are super friendly, and the bartenders are quite knowledgeable. I'm looking forward to the weather warming up again to sit on the patio.
