" From the moment we walked into Gene's, it felt like we had stepped back in time. The decor was charmingly rustic, and the warm greeting from the staff made us feel right at home. We enjoyed a delightful meal - the fettuccine was fresh, and I've never tasted such rich marinara. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, and their recommendations were spot on. Overall, it was a great experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic Italian cuisine in New York City. " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to give Gene's a try after seeing it recommended in several travel blogs. The atmosphere was warm, and the staff were welcoming, but the food didn't quite live up to the hype for me. I had the marinara sauce with spaghetti, and while it was decent, I've certainly had better elsewhere. It seems to be more about the experience rather than the quality of the food. I might try it again for the ambiance. " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I went to Gene's after hearing rave reviews, and it did not disappoint! The menu boasts authenticity, and that’s exactly what we found. My partner chose the veal stuffed with prosciutto, which was sublime, and I went with a classic spaghetti carbonara that tasted like home. The ambiance is warm and welcoming, perfect for enjoying a leisurely meal. Will certainly be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" While visiting NYC, my friends and I decided to stop by Gene's for dinner. We arrived at a busy hour but were seated promptly. The atmosphere was charming with classic Italian decor. I had their lasagna, which was hearty and filled with cheese. Portions were substantial, and my friends ordered a mix of seafood dishes, all of which they enjoyed. I'd recommend Gene's for its laid-back feel and homey food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was born and raised in Italy and it warms my heart to find a restaurant like Gene's in NYC. The recipes taste genuine, and it's clear the chefs have a passion for Italian cuisine. My family and I ordered a variety of dishes and enjoyed each one, particularly the veal chop and tiramisu, which were phenomenal. The service felt familial and welcoming, making us feel right at home. I can’t wait to come back to this little slice of Italy! " (*Curated Review*)

" The first time at Gene's landed us in a charming nook of the restaurant, with white tablecloths and attentive waitstaff. We sampled the calamari and bruschetta, both fresh and well-prepared. My partner went for the chicken parmesan while I had a vegetarian lasagna, both of which did not disappoint. We finished with a shared dessert of cannoli that was heavenly. Really enjoyed the entire experience and would definitely return when we next visit New York! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Gene's, I am reminded of why I love this place. The pasta is absolutely top-notch, especially the homemade gnocchi. I appreciate the effort they put into their sauces—each one has that depth of flavor you can only find in traditional Italian cooking. The vibe of the restaurant makes me feel like I’m dining at someone's home, and the service is attentive without feeling rushed. It’s simply a gem in the city! " (*Curated Review*)
