Cafe Genovese

I came to the restaurant for the first time to talk to the owners and maybe enjoy a hot coffee. When I saw the menu and the prices I thought I would like to eat something. So many good choices and I settled for the Belgian waffle and sausage links. I already had eaten eggs earlier this morning but when I saw that they had Log Cabin syrup with NO High Fructose Corn Syrup, my mind was made up! The coffee was hot. Hannah, my server, did a great job! My food tasted fresh; and I learned that Mario, the owner, was the chef. The restaurant was going to close shortly after I left but I'm glad I bypassed Grumpy's with people waiting to get in for overpriced food and enjoy a local diner atmosphere instead. You have to make a date to visit this cafe'. The regulars sitting at the bar reminded me of the sitcom, Cheers, where everyone was friendly and helpful. Oh, and they served real butter too. No margarine crap! Way to go, Mario!!

If you want delicious food that was cooked with love then this is your place! Family run restaurant where everyone knows each other and is enjoying company! The staff and owners seem like they are family with all the patrons and have friendly conversations with everyone! You just feel good eating here and I wish more places were like this! Highly recommended!!

Best small town dinner with a home town feel! Love walking in and sitting at the counter to chat with locals and Mario. He is always great conversation while he is making your food. The staff is all so sweet and they take care of you so well.

Due to the parkway construction it had been about a year since my wife & I had a chance to revisit Cafe Genovese. My wife wanted the Reuben again; it absolutely did not disappoint. I wanted a solid grilled cheese sandwich (tough to find a good one for my taste) & cheese grits; another solid hit to deep left field. My wife & I thoroughly enjoyed our meals & the genuine diner atmosphere at CG. This is an establishment that deserves your attention. We look forward to more frequent visits.
