We used Genoa to cater our Christmas Eve celebration this year. I stopped in about 2 weeks before the date and they were so friendly and accommodating. I ordered 1/2 trays of everything for our group of 13 and we had more than enough food. Our dishes were Penne with Vodka Sauce, Meatballs with Marinara along with more penne in sauce, Chicken Marsala and Antipasto. The Chicken was absolutely delicious with lots of mushrooms and flavorful sauce. The meatballs were enormous and more importantly tasty. The only dish I wasn't entirely pleased with was the antipasto. I was envisioning whole chunks of cheese, olives, peppers and rolled cold cuts. Instead it was finely chopped cold cuts and American cheese on a bed of oily greens with a few pickled vegetables. Alas, I don't have any pictures! I didn't think to take any with all the festivities. I would definitely use them again for my catering/party needs.

A local staple. My fiance and I love coming in and trying different things on the menu because it's all so delicious. No seating inside, so be prepared to eat elsewhere, but the food is delicious and--for the size of sandwich--economical.

Super friendly service! Delicious hot sandwiches. Unique menu items, enough to keep you wanting to come back and order by name. Try it on ciabatta bread. We've tried their sandwiches a few times under the newer owners and tastes just as good as we remembered! Highly recommend local over sandwich chains.

I only "discovered" this gem a month ago, so I don't have any comparisons to the previous owners. Every time I stop in, the friendly staff accommodates my small cold cut orders, and makes a tasty sub for me. I only go in when they open, as that is when I get out of work and am famished! Their "to go" meals are delicious as well! Love all the cold cuts I bring home, the supermarkets cannot compare with the quality found here, and my 95yo mom loves their macaroni salad!

As far as good subs go, these guys seem to know what they're doing. The Italian mix sub was effortlessly tasty although it costs about $4 more than my favourite Italian sub in the region and also not as big. The shop was bustling and they had a good constant for traffic mostly ordering subs (hot and cold). The takeaway stuff (pictured) looked increasing so I might try some next time. They have private parking so that wasn't an issue. We'll be back.

Some of the best subs in the capital region. Every time I'm in the area for work I try a different sandwich, one of my favorite Italian mixes with mayo ever.

I have reviewed Genoa in the past with glowing remarks. The store has been under new ownership for some time, and during the very trying time of the pandemic. While few remain of the old familiar faces, the new staff maintains the courtesy an attentiveness that has been the Genoa hallmark. Their soups still elicit a memory of Mom's kitchen. Genoa recognizes that some households consist of one or two persons and accommodates their needs with tasty prepared meals that would prove impossible to prepare at home for a single or dual serving. I remain a strong critic of kitchen hygiene and Genoa maintains high standards even when slammed by a crowd. I think of them as "old reliable."

Great, local deli for a quick sandwich. Had the A Rod and it was perfectly prepared! The packed parking lot indicates this is a well-loved lunch spot.

For a while they were for sale, and then they were sold. The new owner has changed the interior of the store a bit (it doesn't resemble an Italian specialty supermarket on the left side anymore) and some of the things in the coolers and cases are gone. No more Tartufo! That being said, their subs are still good. I miss the wall of hats where it seemed like a dozen employees kept their hats when they weren't on the shift. I miss the friendly employees who I recognized when I went in. They are still friendly now, but it just doesn't feel the same.
