I recently found this spot, and loved it when I walked in. Has a super funky atmosphere, and old skool perfume in the ladies room. Made it a favorite, went 3 weeks in a row and brought new friends each time. I was there last night and had drinks, appetizers and dinner with girlfriends. The food isn't cheap, but I... more

Well, the hospitality runs hot and cold depending on the owners mood. I know what to last reviewer feels like. The other reviews are correct. The food is very good. The owner and his wife just don't read the situations right sometimes. I would recomend this place even though I was denied service the last time I went because three... more

I was just reading the reviews of the Ristorante Genovese because I'm looking for a new restaurant to try in my area. I went once to this restaurant and cannot believe this is the same place getting such rave reviews! When we walked in (my husband, myself, and our teenage daughter) the hostess looked at us in such a way... more

This is by far the best authentic Italian food I have found in southern California. (its not fancy or pretentious, just great real food. the way my family makes it) Friendly staff, and Al is the best host / owner a restaurant can have. more

This is one of those restaurants that looks really old school Italian from the outside and I had driven past it for a few years thinking I should try it before I finally did. Wow! What was I waiting for - This is a TRUE GEM! Wonderfully friendly like your own Italian extended family with great food & drinks, pictures... more

A business friend recently took me to dinner here, and WOW was I impressed. Right off the bat, it took me about 5 min to get to my table because there are so many cool pictures of old movie stars, and various memorabillia on the walls (especially if you come in the back entrance). I almost wish it was nicer... more
