Gennaro's Trattoria

This restaurant is excellent!! I'd give it 6 stars if I could. The service superb!!! Extremely well trained staff. The ambience is amazing! The interior is quiet and comfortable. They use table cloths, and cloth napkins, very classy. The food is always all prepared fresh and from scratch. Their menu is amazing and the bread they bring you before each meal is beyond delicious it's addictive. One could almost make a meal out of that. So delicious. They give you real olive oil and garlic to dip it in. It's a culinary delight for the senses. We've been there on several occasions and have never been disappointed. I've eaten most of their dishes. Manzo Portobello, Gambeti Portabella our our favorites. Also the mussels are a great appetizer. Make sure you call ahead if you plan to eat dinner. Reservations are a must. The place is always busy.

Amazing ambience Italian Authenticity is here!!Selection is great !!Very tasty Very nice people!!!Come and enjoy

Wow! The service, food, and ambience are excellent!We will definitely return. What a gem in canyon lake.

Fantastic service! Our waitress was phenomenal. The food was wonderful, too. I loved the salmon (subbed sautéed vegetables for the linguine). We called ahead for a reservation and had a really great experience. I would return- delicious seafood! Ambiance is business casual in my opinion but you can get away with being a bit underdressed, too!

Food, ambiance & atmosphere. This fabulous little establishment is perfect for a first date, an anniversary, business dinner or family gathering. Do yourself a favor and make reservations. They are closed on Mondays so plan to call on another day. Breads, pastas and meat/fish are delicious. Unfortunately we've never had room for dessert. Next time!

I was super hungry when we got to Gennaro's and was lurking on Yelp photos to see what portion sizes looked like. I ended up ordering the lobster ravioli and elected to add on the house salad with Italian vinaigrette for an additional $2 (you can also choose to have caesar dressing instead). The lobster ravioli came with maybe 6 pieces of decently-sized ravioli in a cream sauce. While the ravioli itself was somewhat dense and filling, I think the main reason I left the restaurant so full was due to the free bread at the beginning and the salad. Everything tasted really good, and honestly so many things on the menu looked/sounded appetizing.

Quaint little restaurant. Love the old town feel and the ambiance is very relaxing. Staff is amazing and food is always on point. Definitely one of my new spots.

Great service. We sat on the indoor patio was very cozy. Would love to go back to enjoy the outdoor patio. The shrimp and pasta along with the burrata salad very tasty. Wouldn't recommend the lasagna but everything else looked delicious on other patrons plates.

This place had good reviews and was about 10 months from our airbnb. It was so nice inside, all waiters dressed nicely tables with nice white tablecloths. Would be an ideal spot for a Romantic dinner. Had the wine and pizza myself. Husband had the lasagna. Both were very good and large enough portions to take home to eat some later as well. Consider making a reservation as it was pretty busy. We got lucky and got sat within 10 minutes.

Food: 5/5Service: 4/5Ambiance: 5/5HOLY FREAKING MOLY!!!!!! THIS PLACE IS FANTASTIC, EXQUISITE, CHEFS KISS!!! We came for my sisters birthday dinner (Disclaimer: did not get any pics of the whole groups food but they loved their meals) We had a reservation made for 8 and only waited another 5 minutes for them to get the table ready. We started off with the Bruschetta, sooo good and filling, I almost didn't finish my dinner lol. I ordered the Lasagna della Nonna, my boyfriend got you got the Rosemary chicken ravioli. Everything taste so fresh & delicious, a lot of flavor to every meal! We also got some glasses of wine, a red & white (I forgot which ones). We were able to sample a few as well. This place is A M A Z I N G!!! Make sure you make a reservation, I'm sure if 2 people went you wouldn't wait forever but ya never know. We will be back again. Thank y'all
