New, 9 comments

After closing last November after a thirty-eight (!!!) year run, Genoa will be re-opening on December 1st in the same 1930's SE Belmont building it's been in since 1971, with executive chef David Anderson, left--formerly of Dave Machado restaurants Vindalho and Lauro--at the stove and managing. What's staying the same? The involvement of long-time owner Kerry DeBuse, the Northern Italian prix fixe, and the dining room footprint. What's changing? The introduction of hand-crafted chandeliers, handmade ceramic dishes, and current owner Trish Eiting. What's everyone going to think? Stay tuned...

Pasta Course: A choice of one of the following:

Agnolotti alla Piemontese – small pasta envelopes stuffed with a mixture of beef, chicken, pork and escarole served in a rich meat broth with shaved Parmigiano Reggiano.

Rotolo di pasta – fresh pasta filled with spinach, house-made ricotta and parmesan, rolled, then poached and sliced. Baked and served over a savory tomato sauce.
