" I had heard great things about Villa Gennaro and finally decided to give it a try for a dinner get-together with friends. The restaurant was bustling, which made for a lively atmosphere. I ordered the lasagna thinking it would be a safe choice, but unfortunately, it was a bit bland. The server was friendly but took a while to check back with us, perhaps due to how busy it was. I enjoyed the tiramisu for dessert, which was the highlight of my meal. I might give it another chance for the ambiance alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited on a busy Friday night and were pleasantly surprised. Despite the constant hustle, our server remained cheerful and efficient. We loved the bruschetta and the gourmet pizza was bursting with flavors. Their tiramisu tasted homemade and made for a perfect ending. Overall, a lovely dining experience in an inviting environment! " (*Curated Review*)

" I only stopped in for a light lunch, but the experience was outstanding. The staff were friendly, and the outdoor seating area was delightful. I opted for the caprese salad, which featured fresh mozzarella and ripe tomatoes. A must-try if you enjoy fresh and authentic Italian fare! I will certainly return to explore the full menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a disappointing experience last week. The food was average, nothing stood out flavor-wise, and the service was slow despite the low volume of diners. We all ordered different dishes and felt like they lacked authenticity. The décor seemed nice, but that didn't make up for the unremarkable food. I doubt I'll return soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful surprise to find such an authentic Italian place tucked away! I'm picky about my lasagna, and theirs did not disappoint. It had layers of flavor and plenty of cheese. The service was hit or miss, though—my server was quite busy and forgot a few things. Nevertheless, the food made up for it! I will be back to try other dishes soon, especially after seeing the dessert menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I took a date here for dinner, hoping for a romantic atmosphere. The décor did indeed provide that, and the lighting was just right. I ordered the fettuccine alfredo, which was creamy and indulgent. However, the service took longer than expected, and we almost lost our table while waiting. Overall, it was a good experience, but they need to work on their timing. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Villa Gennaro and was amazed by the delicious flavors that reminded me of my grandmother's cooking. The spaghetti was perfectly al dente, and the marinara sauce had that homemade taste that feels so authentic. The staff was friendly, and the ambiance felt cozy with nice decorations. I would definitely return for more pasta! " (*Curated Review*)
