A beautiful atmosphere to dine in! I typically take a to-go coffee and a margarita pizza, which I feel the wait for the pizza is definitely worth it. The owner really takes the time of day to get to know his regulars and has even begun teaching me Italian! I write this review because I finally had the chance to sit down and have lunch here. The owner recommended the special for the day, lasagna, and a Sicilian wine. The lasagna was phenomenal and the wine was absolutely beautiful! Anytime you want to go out for a sit-down homemade style meal without the hassle of a large chain restaurant, I’d recommend for you to to dine here. It’s perfect for any kind of meal: a solo meal, girls day out, dates and group outings. I would give this cafe 5 stars but there is always room for improvement, in my opinion the improvement could be in wait times given over the phone for to-go orders because I typically have to wait longer than told but like I said, I would wait for that margarita pizza any day!
My favorite place in Tampa!
Lovely people! Always ask for a special! Truly a great experience! And both owners want to make sure you had greatest Italian experience! Try Pasta Carbonara! Its better then I ever tried! Pasta pesto is very good! Everything is very fresh!
This restaurant is soooo good!!! Family opened and operated, very nice atmosphere. We ordered The spaghetti & meatball, slice of pizza, 1 coco gelato & 1 Oreo gelato, fresh squeezed OJ and a cappuccino. 😋😋😋 they were super busy and short staffed unfortunately but the service was great and the food so delicious. They have a nice lil variety on their menu. I will definitely back again and again!!!
Genuino is a very nice little Italian gem, hidden right in front of our eyes! Highly recommend the atmosphere, the food, and especially the Gelato! The owner family is especially welcoming, and will explain any and all questions, make super delicious food, and are extra happy to give FREE samples of all the different gelato varieties! We highly recommend the Parma Ciabatta and the Milan Ciabatta! Oh, and the Dark Chocolate Gelato is to die for! As is the peach, cookie dough, peanut butter, and cookies & cream. Enjoy!
Excellent food. Excellent service. Excellent desserts. Excellent excellence. Do you want to feel excellent? Then come to this exquisitely excellent cafe style Italian eatery. Excellence is through those two doors. Be excellent. Eat excellent. Eat Genuino.

Delizioso Genuino Italian Food
Lasagna & Eggplant Permesan was Extremely delicious. Tiramisu was super super great ! Very friendly and lovely place!
Genuine, just like its name! An Italian cafe owned & run by Italians. Gelato is best I’ve ever had! The coffees are to die for! Owner is very friendly & explained everything, right down to showing us the coffee beans he starts with, to the milk he uses that pours out like cream when added into the cappuccino. Amazing! Highly recommend this place if you love coffee or gelato!
A piece of Italy here in Carrollwood. Great food, fun staff, the coffee is much better than acxross the street and fresh pasta for $9!!! Don't miss this!
