I love this place. My husband is addicted to the meat stromboli. The pasta is always good and the pizza is delicious. Service is always good and pleasant. Casual dining at it's best. Soups are yummy!

Do you want the best pizza in Daytona Beach? Do you crave a family environment with quick, friendly service? Look no further than Genovese's Italian Cafe nestled in a small shopping plaza at the foot of the Dunlawton Bridge.
Joe, and his staff of expertly trained servers will help you on your way to that romantic getaway, or a family dinner that you will remember forever.
The sauce is made fresh daily, on site, and the kitchen staff is very particular about the quality of ingredients that go into the food.
The cost is reasonable, and the value for the money is unparalleled. Stop in, and discover a new family favorite. -

Located on the side of the Dunlawton bridge that's closest to the beach, right next to the Bikini Company (another fav of mine)... be careful which order you visit these two places in...
Thanks to Eric F. for recommending the Italian Wedding soup and suggesting a pass on the salad... I'm sitting here on a Wednesday, the special is Penne w/ Meatballs, chose soup over salad... it was delish, even the bread is delicious... totally simple, warm, and yummy. The fountain soda diet coke is the best I've had since I got here (13 days in) and my server gave me a to-go cup for my soda as i was leaving, big plus.
the veal parm was a bit tough for me tastes, wouldn't get it again... maybe chicken next time, but def not eggplant--server said it is frozen.
another useless bit: my server complimented me on my smile as she brought back my cc receipt for me to sign... something that may have irritated me if it had felt like a last-minute push for a sweet tip... but it wasn't, she had been attentive and nice the entire time i was there, plus i do have a killer smile. -

One Saturday evening after spending all day at the beach and having a few drinks I decided to find a new pizza place in the area. Thanks to my friend Jodi and confirming through Yelp I decided on I would give these guys a try.
Located just off A1A heading west on Dunlawton you will find this hole in the wall that serves up a mean pie. Don't expect too much out of the decor or the ambiance.
We got there right before closing time so we had the place to ourselves. Placed a take out order for a Margherita with bacon and pepperoni and also requested they brush garlic butter on the crust.
While waiting for our order we had a beer and chatted with the staff. All very personable and friendly. Met the owner who is a very nice guy.
Pricing was on par but what separated these guys from the rest was the service as well as the pizza itself.
When I asked the guys their staple or favorite item on the menu the stromboli seemed to get the majority of the votes while the owner said they are known for their pizzas.
I would definitely go back to this place next time I am craving pizza. I was even told they would deliver all the way out to 95. Now that is insane!

Review from Anita L.

They ran out of soup when we came unfortunately, so we got salad and garlic bread. Salad, as other reviewers mentioned, was typical iceberg salad with store bought dressing. The garlic bread was really good, garlicky and topped with tons of nice stinky parm, loved it! Ordered the lobster ravioli and manicotti with meatballs, both were okay. Lobster ravioli was nice but it had tons of seemingly store bought alfredo sauce, good thing it was plopped in the middle with the raviolis surrounding it. Manicotti was okay, a little burnt. Meatballs were large and had a good beefy taste to them. Service was slow considering the restaurant only had 4 tables left.

Our favorite when in Daytona area. Being from NJ originally, we know pizza and this place makes it good! Thin crust, perfect sauce, lots of cheese. Their alfredo sauce is good, the lasagna is award winning, and eggplant yummy! We love the garlic bread made from a 'sub' roll. get it with mozzarella. And even if you're full, get a cannoli to go. Atmosphere is basic. Come as you are and enjoy a great meal!

Back in the day, whenever we had a hunkering for some fresh, homemade stromboli smothered in Mrs. Genovese's hearty "tomatoeeee" marinara sauce. We'd head on down to this little restaurant just a hop, skip and a jump from our condo. Mr. and Mrs. Genovese, in thier late 30's to mid 40's at the time, were always attentive and not overly friendly with their "how do you do's". Another Italian eatery, that made you feel right at home!

This place was one of my favorite places that I frequented while I lived in Daytona. Its a hole in the wall, where the service can be hit or miss but all in all pretty good. The portions are large and I recommend the pizza or Veal Parm...However, NEVER get the salad. They don't make their own dressing and don't have Cesar dressing. Besides the wedding soup is good and filling

MUST go! Awesome food at reasonable prices. We are vegetarian and there were lots of options for us as well as meat eaters. Baked penne superb and I didn't get through half of it. We have a winter place in Daytona and love trying different restaurants each year....sorry it took so long to try this treasure! Locals sure know about their pizza....take outs were flying out the door during our visit. Highly recommend!!!
