The food is amazing, everything we've ordered has been great and the prices are very reasonable. My husband usually gets the Chicken Roma and the sauce is excellent, I've gone back and forth between the Chicken Picatta (very good) and the Chicken Parmesan (good but not my favorite). The quality is great for the price. Service is also very good, both in person or togo. Weekends are very busy and expect a wait. Ambiance is ... not what you'd expect from an Italian restaurant. It's clean, but decor is not what you'd traditionally find. It's more floral plastic tablecloths and conference chairs/tables. But if you don't try it because of how it looks you'll be missing out. read more

Love their food, the works spaghetti with mushrooms is the best (chefs kiss). I was having a difficult time calming my newborn baby while my husband and I shared a meal, the owner came up to us and talked, she said so many nice things and told us what a sweet baby we had. She shared with us a childhood story, and it really made my heart swell. Great food, even better owner and staff. My husband and I giggled hearing the cook belting out to the music playing, the whole atmosphere felt very at home and welcoming. read more

They were busy and food still came out pretty fast and was super hot and delicious. Would recommend you try. We were just passing through town. It is located in a strip mall, so dont let that atop you, it was worth the stop. read more

This undoubtedly one of the best Italian restaurants in this Midwest area. The owner is welcoming you at the check in, taking orders and delivering your food. She is on the move constantly making sure everything is perfect. It's a hole in the wall location but the service and food is outstanding. read more

At the suggestion from a friend, we dined at Genova and we were not disappointed! They were really busy that night which in my mind is a good sign :) The dining staff were well trained and even though it was busy the staff didn't miss a beat. They kept our drinks refilled and were in good spirits! The owner Rosie was the only one that I saw that was taking orders. She was absolutely incredible! We will definitely be back! read more

This was a treat tonight for dinner. The menu is very tempting. Difficult decisions but each of us loved our selections Rosie is the owner and such a delight! We could only hope they would move to Hutchinson read more

Great dining experience again at Genova!! The rolls are magnificent!! Food and friendly service are worth the drive to Newton!! read more

There is absolutely no way to be within 50 miles of this restaurant and not stop here to eat the food was so outstanding the chef was very personable we came here for my husband's 50th birthday and literally the food rivaled any five star Italian restaurant around. The portions are large and made fresh the order. You can definitely taste the love in every single bite!! read more

Genova - Birthday cake. A lovely extra fluffy light vanilla cake with a lemon white chocolate filling and frosting - Italian Near Me - Newton, Kansas

Wonderful authentic Italian food. Great service. Tender delicious garlic knots served with oil that had chunks of tomatoes, onion and garlic. Skip those chain restaurants and go to Genova's if you want real Italian food. read more

Genova - Chef's special. - Italian Near Me - Newton, Kansas

I was in Newton for work and I asked my customer where to eat that is a mom and pop shop. Well they suggested Genova, and let me tell you it did not disappoint. The food was fantastic and authentic, just like my grandmother used to make. I would drive out of my way to come back! read more

The food is delicious , the service is friendly and kind and the owner is one of the most amazing women. I could actually eat every lunch and dinner there if that was within my budget and I think you'll be happy with anything you eat . I really liked the fettuccine alfredo and I also love the spinach ravioli and of course you have to have the rules with the tomato balsamic vinaigrette which is phenomenal . The rolls are just superb in softness and taste and the balsamic vinaigrette makes it an amazing entree while waiting for your meal to be prepared . read more

Seriously- one of THE best meals we've had in a very long time. I ate and loved things I typically don't like, such as tomatoes, and my husband said it was all so good he felt like crying. The staff were all wonderful and sweet and helpful. We're just passing through but we'll definitely stop again given the chance and of course we highly recommend it. read more

We moved to the area from a major metro area in another state, and this is by far the best Italian I've ever had! Genova is also the best restaurant in Newton too. Rosie the manager is a delight and they are adept at taking care of large groups too. Love that they have gluten-free options too! read more

Food is absolutely delicious! The bread is the best-it's so soft it practically melts in your mouth and the dipping sauce for the bread is so good. I ordered the baked ziti and it was wonderful. The dining area was spacious and quiet and the owner was very gracious and accommodating. Food was served quickly and nice and super hot so it never even got close to lukewarm or cold while I was eating and I'm a slow eater. Prices were very reasonable for authentic Italian fare. This was by far the best Italian food I've ever had. We will be back frequently. read more

Literally the BEST food I have ever eaten. I would drive hours to eat here, cross state lines for this pasta! Everything is made from scratch, the owner is so kind hearted and generous. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. It is a must try!! read more

They just lost my business forever. I tried calling from 7:34pm until 7:49. The phone just rang and rang and nobody picked. Finally, some guy picked up and I said I'd like to place an order please. He made it a point to sigh as hard as humanly possible and said "Okaaaaay, go ahead." I'm guessing he did this because they closed at 8pm but that's not my problem that they didn't answer the phone. The kids that Rosie has working here must be underpaid or something because they always have just the WORST attitude. I'm done. They clearly don't want anyone's business. read more

Always great food, excellent customer service and so welcoming and warm. Bread made fresh for each table and lots of menu options. read more

Maybe it's me, but the pasta sampler I tried was overly saucy. The pasta gets lost and everything tastes the same. Nice, friendly service.

Food - I had the Stromboli. The "stuffing" was greatly lacking. Of the six inches of it an inch and half on each end had nothing but cheese. The rest of it was spares. Atmosphere - Cold, both physically and decorative. Table cloths were a vinyl like substance. A table had very obvious paper napkins stuck under two legs to stop it from wobbling. Service - First the good. Water and coffee were always kept full. If a wait person walked by they offered to fill glasses. The were well staffed. Now the bad: Our waiter, was obnoxious. He acted quite pretentious. He was young and has potential. It is also tacky that my wife's food was served and then it took more than ten minutes be mine was served. read more

Drove from Wichita just to try this place because friends raved about it. The pictures on the website does no justice to the quality of the food. I had one of the specials, salmon piccata with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Was absolutely delicious! I didn't order pasta because I wanted to save room for the in house made tiramisu, and it did not disappoint! The host/waitress/owner, Rosie was so friendly and made us feel so welcomed - like a true Italian! read more

Excellent Italian dishes! The service is great and friendly. A hidden treasure in Newton.

Good food but pricey for amount of food you get. The men always go away hungry. Good service

The food was AMAZING!!! Rosie makes all her own pasta every morning, and the bread, as well as the dipping sauce! I was truly the best Italian we have ever had!!!!!! The service was excellent as well! I would suggest getting the homemade lemon cello cake! Wowza! read more

Wow! A wonderful place - the food, the BREAD! The owner, all delightful. We so enjoyed our visit - well worth the drive from out of town.

Amazing! We were in town for a basketball tournament, wanting something to eat in-between games. Génova did not disappoint! Rosie was our waitress, who we later found out is the owner. We told her we needed to leave at a certain time and she promptly turned in our order and made sure our food was delivered in time. We had the sampler plate, Greek salad, calamari, kid's fettuccine and chicken pomodoro...all were delish! If we are in Newton again, we will be back. Thank you, Rosie, and the Genova staff! read more

Was blown away by the friendliness of Rosie and her team. Italian Food was so fabulous, fresh and delicious we went back again the next day!

We decided to try something new and came in with a large group (called ahead). Food was fantastic and service as well! Highly recommend!

Delicious food, reasonable prices and generous servings. The big three. That's all I ask for.

Every time I go in, everything is absolutely perfect. The owner is very engaged with her customers as well.

Most amazing meal. All handmade. The complimentary garlic knots and balsamic oil is incredible. I had The Franchesca (veal) incredible.

Always delicious. We had chicken piccata and chicken Diablo. Our grandson likes spaghetti without red sauce, and it was done nicely with garlic butter. He would have liked the meatballs, and they were left off. But the bread and the tomato/onion vinegar is the best! read more

Took our wrestling team there after State. Hands down the best food. The kids still talk about it!

Great food. Rosie, the owner, strives to please. Food never disappoints and conversation with Rosie is always entertaining. Our favorite restaurant in Newton. read more

Cute place that serves good pasta. The tomato soup is fresh and light. For our mains, I got the tutti mare and hubs did the eggplant parm. Hub's was served over spaghetti and smothered in cheese. The flavors were light. My linguine was more AL dente and the flavor was also light, but it highlighted the perfectly cooked seafood, which was piled on generously. The famous bread was like a warm cloud in my mouth! Overall, the meal was light on flavor, but the entire experience was pleasant. read more

So good. The sampler is a great option if you can't decide what you want. Everything is fresh and hot when it comes out.

The absolute best place to get a limoncello!!! The bread and dip is fantastic too! We always order the chicken piccata.

The best authentic Italian food out there!!! Love this place and the owner is the most sweetest woman!

I don't know how this restaurant gets 4 1/2 stars! The food struggles to be mediocre. They have no beer, wine or spirits on their menu. You can't bring your own wine either. The service was fast and friendly but that's it! The atmosphere was drab and the A/C struggled a bit, too. read more

We got takeout so can't comment on service or ambiance. We got the Stromboli and it was so good! Normally I don't go for Stromboli's because it ends up more bread than filling but the ratio was perfect and it's a huge portion!! Highly recommend! read more
