Genitti’s Hole-In-the-Wall

I was here for a baby shower last weekend and I cannot say enough great things about this restaurant and specifically their wonderful staff! Everyone was beyond nice, friendly and helpful. I am gluten free and asked about the menu, they had forgotten to request GF for me but the waitress (I didn’t catch her name) made sure that for EVERY course there was the gluten free option for me (I don’t eat dessert often, so that there was no option was ok with me). She went out of her way, even after I initially told her I’d figure something out. The food was absolutely amazing! The soup they offered was delicious (I need to find the recipe and make it at home) and the zucchini entrée, well let’s just say I tried to make a version at home already– it was that good!!!
I highly recommend Gennetti’s for any party/​event or lunch or dinner with friends/​family! Thank you so much, you are all wonderful people!!! I hope to go again someday!

My mother in law hosted a baby shower for me here this past Saturday. I was not involved in the planning but I do know my MIL was very satisfied with the planner and whole experience.
The room looked beautiful, the food was fabulous, but even more impressive was the service. There appeared to be three ladies working our party and I cannot begin to explain how well they took care of everything and everyone. Since I’m pregnant, as well as a number of my guests, they made a nice non-​alcoholic punch (we also served champagne punch) for those of us who can’t drink and even made a special dish for a guest who is a vegan. They were extremely attentive and so incredibly on point. Thank you for such a wonderful experience for both myself and all of our guests.

First time to Genitti’s today for a bridal shower. The entire staff was over the top amazing. Customer service at it’s best. Warm, welcoming, and accomodating. The food and atmosphere were very good but the staff made the event wonderful. Congratulations on hiring people who understand what customer service is all about. Thank you!

I have been to Genittis several times with groups for the dinner show. Both of them were interactive shows. Food is good buffet food. Typical chicken, vegetable, and pasta meal. Very good place to go if want a different thing to do with friends

Seemed like 5 courses instead of 7. We were rushed. It didn’t even feel like a full meal. The servers were good but the place just seems too PO-​dunk. Need more first floor bathrooms.

I came to genittis for a rehearsal dinner a couple of weeks ago. I was just a guest, so can’t speak to how easy they are to deal with in terms of planning an event, but the food and service were both fantastic. We had a seven course meal prepared for use and dedicated servers for the function room.
The food was soup, salad, sausage, chicken, beef, potatoes, and cannoli for dessert. It was all flavorful and amazingly delicious. They also brought special food out without hesitation for a vegan guest.
The wine and beer list was extensive and they kept the drinks flowing (in cute mason jars to boot!). I’d love to go back just for dinner and see if it is still up to par.

Not a place I would recommend for eating in Northville. The one time I went there the food was less than mediocre. The lighting is way too dark and gives a weird atmosphere. I will definitely not be back here.

Great place. Dinner they’re is corny as hell but lots of fun. The family style food is old school Italian and delicious.
Great for small to medium groups.

We went for Christmas party it’s supposed to be 7 courses more like 7 sides. Food quality terrible but the show was good.

Fun place… Great with a group… Good for date night… You get all you can eat however, dinner was a bit rushed prior to the show. The pasta was outstanding, everythig else in my opinion was ok. My wife loved everything. The staff was very friendly and helpful yet they rushed dinner as they said «we dont want to rush you, but can we take this» one server passed the pasta out table to table without saying a word. They kept things moving like a «family» dinner would be. So overall nice place, good food and fun time.

We love going here! The food is great and there is so much of it! The dinner theater is always a hoot (even if I did have to get up on stage and sing!). Don’t worry, you can be a fuddy-​duddy and refuse to participate (my husband did).

Wonder place to take employee’s for our holiday party. I also went there with my husband’s company for his work party. Food was outstanding and the environment was so welcoming. Great for catering too. Must try the susage and peppers

Great atmosphere and location! Some of the servers were great and really sweet. Others seemed a little annoyed. The food was good, a little bland, but well-​prepared. The prices seem high per head for a party. I would like to see something other than iceberg lettuce used in the salad, and personally, I think they could get a little more creative in their courses. I get that they’re trying to be family homestyle, but it was a little too typical… Chicken noodle soup, anti-​pesto salad, pasta, roasted potatoes and zucchini, and roasted chicken. But, everyone left with a full tummy and happy memories.

Cheap food. Average show. For the money ($ 120/​couple), I’ll go elsewhere next time.

I am an event designer from Seattle, WA. We chose Genitti’s to do our parents 65^th wedding anniversary. Whenever you plan an event from out of state it’s always a little scary for both parties involved. I didn’t know them and they didn’t know me…
I must say… that did not last but 2 minutes… because I now feel like I am part of their family!
From the minute I walked through the door it was nothing but over the top service. Laura and her staff are so accommodating, professional and lots of FUN!!! I was impressed so much by the personal service I received from everyone. Our guests LOVED everything about the experience… the great service, the fabulous food, the theatre… I only wish I could work with this crew on a regular basis!
I’m not one to write reviews… but I wanted to make sure I took the time to do this one!

Wife and I went here yesterday for the first time for a wedding. The food was pretty good. We loved the salad, chicken pastina, and chicken alfredo. We wouldn’t recommend the breaded steak and potatoes but the service definitely made up for it. The staff was very kind and was always checking tables to see if anyone needed drinks from the bar.

Genitti’s is one helluva place.
My experience was unexpected so please bare with my sensationalization. By the looks of the other reviews, the hype is matched.
I attended with a group from a conference. I knew there was dinner and entertainment but I didn’t know there was DINNER and ENTERTAINMENT.
The Meat and Potatoes:
Drinks are served with simplicity, nothing fancy although one of my comrades mentioned the heavy stock of margarita mix, so I assume that is a house speciality.
Our starter was an Italian (as were all dishes) soup. I wish I could tell you what type of pasta it was and the flavor but the only thing I remember is deliciousness. The base was so comforting and warm, there were onions and a few other things but not much. This could have been my complete meal and I’d have left happy. I wanted two bowls but I was then notified of the seven courses up ahead. I did have another serving since they brought out a wonderful basket of bread that married the soup. Not a bad idea.
The next course was salad. My comrades had an antipasto salad which they all ate, loved and could not finish. I had a typical garden salad. The iceberg (which I typically detest) was crisp and cold but not icy. The cucumbers were plenty along with other odds and ends. The croutons were crisp and the Italian dressing was zesty and flavorful. I wanted to finish my salad but my stomach wanted to know what was next.
THEN, PASTA, the first pasta dish was for the entire table, the white creamy sauce was reminiscent of an Alfredo but tasted nothing like anything my tongue could recall with the name Alfredo. Penne pasta with creamy sauce and another batch of bread. I was ready to unbutton and stretch out on the couch.
The next course was a plate of roasted vegetables. OH MY zucchini, carrots, squash and others were seasoned and well roasted to give my mouth something to love. The potatoes, the POTATOES YES, HAVE them. My carnivorous comrades had Italian sausage with onions, green peppers and veggies. I wanted to have a bit (e) but I could not tease my palate with anything I couldn’t stomach.
WAIT there’s more. My meaters (meat eaters) were served Italian steak (pork loin) that no one was too enthusiastic about. Meanwhile I was served another pasta dish with vegetables. Same penne pasta but completely different sauce. I was rather disappointed, I fell in love with the first sauce. This was nice but at this point my stomach’s bloat offered too much flavor for me to enjoy. I sipped my Jack Daniels in hopes of burping more room into my system. I did so successfully. So I ate more.
Desert was a cannoli. I’d heard of them but never had the pleasure of the taste. I was in for a treat that night. (All puns intended, they’re puny to me.) (Yes I am this corny.) My comrades boasted that the cannolis tasted home made. I wouldn’t know the difference they were just good.
Which brings me to the entertainment. An interactive stage play executed well by all the actors and audience. I won’t spoil the show for any of you but if you’re annoyed by my subtle puns and my corny food euphemisms the show won’t be on for you. I laughed most of my dinner calories off. The theater was pretty large, perfect for a party. It was cold but you can bring spirited drinks from the bar inside.
Unfortunately I’m writing this review almost a week after my visit so I cannot remember all the nuances of my meal. I assure you I will return with friends.

We have used Genitti’s two times for different company events. The staff is so friendly and accommodating you will seriously think you are family. Great atmosphere and unique. The food is served family style and keeps coming. The play was super funny and entertaining. A member of our party showed up late and missed dinner. The staff went above and beyond by putting together a quick meal without hesitation Totally can do! Great value and great time. Get a group together and go. We took 75 people but there was also a group of 10 there.

Took my sister here today as a Christmas treat! They had an 11:30 performance of their Christmas play, a take on the holiday party at a local IT firm. Food was great, service even better (we got a table for us two and we didn’t have to share!), and the play was as funny as an elf sliding down a candy cane into a bowl of spiked punch!
Go, go, go! It’s a great way to kick off the season!
Oh, and they even have cocoa with whipped cream!!!

Prepare to be stuffed. You think the meal is ending… but no — it just keeps getting better! We have the pleasure of going to Genitti’s every year for my husband’s holiday party. The food is CONSISTENTLY wonderful — from the chicken noodle soup (my personal fave) to the creamy canoli’s served for dessert, pack your fat pants before you head to dinner here — you’ll want to unbutton and make room for more.
Dinner theater is always so funny and has left me in tears on a number of occasions. Makes for a great night out for friends or coworkers for something a little bit different. Can’t wait to go back !
