Genisa Wine Bar

Went for my anniversary dinner today and everything tasted truly delicious 😋. The staff and waiter was so friendly and attentive! Best food in town!!!! I can’t wait to come back! I got a blackberry lemonade, and that was truly delicious with an artichoke and kale dip and a fig and prosciutto pizza. As well as a lasagna! Very fresh ingredients and beautiful flavor! They even served us A champagne for our special occasion. We went again! And it was so yummy 😋! Got the ragú and pepperoni pizza 🍕 and took home a lemon cello cake 🍰! They were all super delicious. Service was excellent too

We decided to go to Genisa because we were tired of the same old Janesville chain restaurants, we didn’t go in with big expectations. BUT, we came out pleasantly surprised and extremely happy and satisfied. It can feel like restaurant service of late it taking a sharp downturn in how they treat guests, but I can say we were very happy with our server and service from all of the staff, who were all very friendly. The food was also fantastic specifically the pepperoni pizza, lasagna and garlic bread. I will definitely be back for those. Unfortunately the cobbler was lacking for me, I wish it had more crunch, but of course that’s personal preference. Regardless, we will be returning, and I hope they can replicate our first experience again.

We’ve been to Genisa Wine Bar a handful of times and always leave happy! Both indoor and outdoor dining are excellent options. Outside near the river under the string lights is absolutely magical. Their wine list is extensive, specialty cocktails are also well crafted, and the option to do wine flights makes the experience even more enjoyable. We’ve dined here with a large group (around 15 people), and the staff did a wonderful job accommodating us. While service can be a bit leisurely, the quality of food and drinks is always worth the wait—maybe that’s part of the authentic Italian experience. 😉 The menu is designed for sharing, which we love. The meatballs are a must-try, especially the trio that lets you sample different styles. The pizzas are always excellent, and the warm olives are a personal favorite starter. (I have yet to try any of their pastas.) For dessert, don’t skip the limoncello sponge cake—it’s the perfect ending, especially paired with an Americano. Highly recommend for date nights, group gatherings, or anyone wanting a little taste of Italy by the river!
