I call it a studio as watching it makes one think of artistry. You get welcomed with a schnapps and then a basket of their delicious little bread chunks and a great herb butter. I asked for the Diavolo pizza extra spicy and they delivered an amazing tasting experience. Full of flavour with a masterful crust. We also had one of the specials, spargel, shinken, garlic and hollandaise sauce. Amazing. Bursting with flavour. Absolutely loved this place and really glad we 'dined in'!

We decided to order take-out for the whole family after getting a recommendation from a local. Genio will be our new favorite pizzeria. The pizza, pasta and sides we ordered were made right in front of us in a very clean kitchen. The ingredients were fresh and delicious. Any take out of $25 or more includes a free drink. The team was very friendly and Franco now has a few more raving fans, including some very picky eaters (our kids).

We decided pizza would fit the bill and there were two open seats at this place on the main square. The staff was super friendly and accommodated our lack of Dutch language skills. The salami pizza was super thin crust and crispy - very good. The mushroom omelette was also very good. Everything was a fair price. Both light meals were perfect given all of our big meals during 10 days of travel. They also gave a complimentary after dinner drink. A nice touch.

However if you can get past that then you will find that the chef can whip up a tasty pizza. I think I challenged him a bit with a veggie one but my mushroom and artichoke pizza was pretty tasty.

Besides a warm welcome back they proudly demonstrated all their new achievements. Back to the important stuff: Whatever pizza or pasta you chose you can't go wrong. The pizza is huge, juicy with tons of fresh toppings, always well seasoned for your satisfaction. Most of my former Italian coworkers will agree when I say that you will be served the world best Pizza here. For me Il Genio's pizza is the only reason for taking a trip back to GK. What you should know: First of all: this is not Domino's, Little Cesar's, Olive Garden or whatsoever. Don't get me wrong! I absolutely love American pizza (except for Pizza Hut;))! But, this is an Italian pizza place. Second: This is neither a fancy, romantic restaurant nor some hipster place. Most people order Take Away. The restaurant area is small and, typical Italian, somewhat noisy. But, the stuff is very friendly and hearty.

Very overrated! Staff is arrogant (understatement) and food…read moreis mediocre. Far (!) better Italian restaurant on the other side of the river in Wyck! We've tried this place twice (to give it "another chance"), but cannot discover its "reputation". The formula of leaving your phone number and wait to be "invited" to dine, should say enough: arrogance all over. Which is not founded by the food you will be served: that is OK to GOOD (but definitely NOT outstanding). The fact that ruins the experience is the lack of decent service; FOOD 3,5 / Service 1. Definitely NOT recommended (again: cross the bridge to the Rechtstraat for the real Italian restaurants... Yes: more than one...!)

The inside of the restaurant is absolutely exquisite. There are fresh flowers placed on each table and dim lighting that looks even better at night. There are a few tables available outside but I would recommend sitting inside since it tends to be a not so quiet road. I ordered the panzerotti scampi and a martini bellini, which both came out very quickly. My drink came with a small platter of olives, and the pasta came with a bread basket. Solid portion size, unlike some restaurants that only give four raviolis... very decent shrimp--they were large in size and perfectly chewy. I enjoyed the pasta, although the tomato based sauce could have been a tad less salty. I liked how the pasta dish included a handful of arugula and a couple pieces of broccoli. Service was 11/10. I was immediately seated when I walked in, and my waitress was incredibly friendly and attentive. Would love to come back when I'm in the mood for pasta and cocktails. Great little corner.
