" Gene's is a classic Italian restaurant with a rich history and delightful dishes. I stopped in for lunch and had the margherita pizza, which was generously topped with fresh basil and mozzarella. The service was quick and friendly, even during the busy lunch rush. While the atmosphere felt slightly worn, it added to the nostalgic charm that many seem to love. All in all, a lovely meal at a well-respected establishment. " (*Curated Review*)

" While Gene's has a charming atmosphere, my experience fell flat with the food. I had high expectations for the lasagna after hearing recommendations, but it didn't carry the homemade flavor I hoped for. The waitstaff were friendly, but my food took longer than anticipated. Made for a mixed evening—definitely room for improvement! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a tourist in New York, I had to check out Gene's based on its history. The classic old-school dining vibe made for a delightful evening. I ordered the gnocchi, and while it was good, it didn't blow me away. The atmosphere kept my spirits high, and the service was friendly and prompt. I’d recommend it as part of a full dinner experience in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Went to Gene's for dinner last night, and the food was wonderful. The stuffed peppers were delightful and the staff were super attentive, always checking in on us. Great atmosphere with a lovely mix of locals and tourists enjoying their meals. I highly recommend the chocolate mousse for dessert—absolutely to die for! Will definitely come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had dinner with friends at Gene's on a Friday night, and it was lively without being too noisy. Our waiter was attentive despite the busy atmosphere, making sure our glasses were never empty. I ordered the crab linguine; it was delicious, but I could've gone for a larger portion. All in all, a lovely experience! I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a great Italian meal.

" 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*)
