We chose Gennaro's for our anniversary dinner based on recommendations on this site, and we were not disappointed! This is perhaps one of the best Italian restaurants we've ever eaten in. The service was excellent - very attentive, knowledgeable, and he made some great recommendations. We sat on the patio and enjoyed views of the wooded hills and canyons while... More

Who would have thought Canyon Lake would have one of the best Italian Restaurants in Texas! We found out and enjoy the BEST Italian food and service. Had friends of Italian heritage visit and took them to Gennaro's....their comment matched our feelings.....best Italian food they have ever had! My favorite is the crab stuffed shrimp, which is awesome. The portions... More

This well designed out of the way restaurant has an decent menu selection plus imaginative specials. Based on my experience and that of the other members of my parties on my 3 visits the food is rated "very good" to "outstanding". The portions are very large - perhaps too large and the prices are quite reasonable. The service and servers... More

This place had the best reviews in the area, and I'm not sure why, other than the fact that it is very fru-fru. The menu was not imaginative and the food was just average. The service was overbearing and pushy. Not a good value at all.

& it's always the best.We have been to Gennaro;s several times & it's always the best, Service is great, ambience, food & prices are very reasonable. Our all time Italian restaurant.

Busy, place, not quiet, you really need reservations, especially on a weekend. We had the Steamed Mussels for a starter. They were in a cream sauce and some of the best I have ever enjoyed. At $10 they are a great deal, next time I will order them and a salad and call that my meal. This night, I had... More

The same title as my B&B review I know but it was theme for the weekend. We made reservations around 1:30 the same afternoon and they gave us choices "4, 430 or 9". We are late eaters usually so 9 wasn't a bad option for us. Arriving promptly at 9 they then informed us that our reservations were booked for... More

Had a wonderful Saturday early evening meal which was delicious! Although the restaurant was very crowded, the service was second to none with the entire service of courses timed perfectly. The food itself was excellent and very tasty. The staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely will become a regular stop!
