Genovese 712 Massachusetts Street, Lawrence, KS 66044

"Love coming here! Last night we had dinner on the patio, the host put tables together for us and had a patio heater brought ob=ver to our table, the server was great, she knew all the specials and the delicious food was brought out hot and in a timely manner we will definitely will be back."

"We went on a Sat evening for New Year's Eve Eve. Started out well with bubbles and steak tartar. Caesar salad was nice size. Enjoyed the spinach fettuccine Alfredo, sauce was light and not too heavy. KC strip was more medium than rare but well seasoned. Halfway through our meal, the atmosphere shifted. A server sat at the bar with a flatware holder and sorted flatware, obviously unaware of how incredibly loud it was. I even checked the time to see if it was closing time but it was 7:15 on a Saturday. The kitchen sounded like they were catching up on dishes as we heard the pots, pans, dishes and sprayer in the sink. A divider over the kitchen walls would help. We were going to have dessert but decided it was time to go. As we left, there were three servers sitting at the corner of the bar. We loved old Genovese and want to love the new one. It seems like an effort it being made for a nice experience but that is not what we had...to clarify, we didn't leave mad but were chuckling about it. A few other observations - the red Coca Cola cooler is really bright and out of place, the mirror over our table looks like it was cleaned with a dirty rag and the specials board also looks out of place (and it's hard to read from the sidewalk). We'll be back, but probably just for lunch."

"One of the best spots on Mass to get affordable & delicious authentic Italian food! All of the pastas are exceptional, but my favorite is definitely the bolognese. Service is excellent, as well; we will be back soon!"

"One of my favorite dishes is the Salmon Entree. Absolutely something I crave and is better than many plates in town. Make sure to check out this hidden gem, the food is amazing. Also, wonderful drinks"

"1st time here and it was overall a great experience. the food was fresh and hot. we got the risotto fritters, a meatball pasta and the Alfredo pasta with shrimp. the shrimp was very good and the meatballs were pretty generous in size. the Alfredo pasta is made with spinach so the noodles are great and they had a lot of peas in the pasta as well if that matters to anyone. atmosphere was very cozy. I think we shall return for lunch to try some sandwiches."
