Gennaro's Cafe Italiano

Mozzarella sticks were likely the frozen kind, but was the best tasting food we ate. Their marinara which appeared homemade was good. The fettuccine alfredo was the worst alfredo we have ever had...zero flavor and zero cheese! I think the chef used a cream of chicken soup or cream of mushroom soup and added pepper and a little parsley to flavor it...awful! Guess the high ratings were for their pizza, because the pasta was inedible.

We have gone two times now.  Both times for dinner.  The first time we enjoyed our entree, but we were disappointed in the antipasti.  Very small, a couple slices of salami, artichokes, olives, roasted peppers, but not much for the price$8!
The a/c was blasting and everyone in there was freezing.  It took about an hour to get it turned down.  One couple walked out.
We went this week again and we were smarter about we ordered.  Hubby ordered fettuccine Alfredo, good and hot, but not terribly flavorful.  I ordered spaghetti with meat sauce.  Oh my delish.  I will go back again just for the meat sauce!  We really want to like this place and we are gonna keep trying.
Service, okay, I think they care more about the bar side.

How has nobody mentioned that there is DRAG QUEEN BINGO here on Thursday nights?!? Krystal Towers is an awesome entertainer and really fun to watch interact with the dive bar patrons. 9:00 pm in the lounge - be there or be square.

The staff is really nice and they like to hang out and laugh with the folks who drink here. I like that they are personable. Once you get to know the crowd you'll be good to go!

I had a really awesome Italian Salad here as well as the pizza. Both are good, the calamari was decent but not great so if you're in the mood for lots of carbs you may as well blow your diet at this joint. It's never over crowded and always a good time.

Deschute beer is served here so that's a plus. There are a ton of drink specials depending on which night you go so check it out, hang with some characters and by all means come and play some bingo! It's not for the faint of heart so put on your adult pants and enjoy this little gem!
