I visited Genisa’s with one of my best friends yesterday and we had a PHENOMENAL time! Our server Sasha was so fantastic with recommendations that I even had her surprise me with a cocktail at the end of our dinner. She was so friendly, informative, and checked back with us to make sure things were to our liking. The food was delicious, and I cannot wait to go back. I’ll be asking for Sasha next time we visit! Thank you so much for a great night!

First time. Excellent atmosphere. They were out of a few popular dishes (which goes to show how well they do), but that didn’t set us back. All the food was outstanding. Our server Sasha was absolutely fantastic! She was spunky, high energy, and engaging. Casual nice attire. Highly recommend for a family evening out, a cocktail hour and appetizers with friends, or the much needed date night. You guys rock! Thanks for improving Janesvilles downtown value and dining selections.

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!

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.

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.

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.

I had one of the most delicious pizzas I have ever ate! Fresh ingredients, locally sourced. The flavor was like fireworks in your mouth! The staff and kitchen are always on the top of their game! You go there and find a friendly welcoming staff who make you like you should make reservations for your next visit because their that good!

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.

I’ve been to Genisa quite a few times, and I’ve always had a great experience. The pizza is always spot-on, the drinks are tasty, and the staff is attentive and professional. So, this year we decided to break our normal Mother’s Day tradition and try out the brunch. Once again, Genisa did not disappoint. The brunch offerings were diverse, delicious, and warm (not an easy feat for a brunch). Sasha, our fun and energetic server, was awesome! She made our experience even better, and I can’t thank her enough for being so accommodating on this special day. Long story short: we have a new Mother’s Day tradition. We’ll see you next year, Genisa, and, hopefully, you too, Sasha! Thanks again
