I often walk by Genitti's in downtown Northville but never had a reason to enter until I came here for a college alumni event. Genitti's is mainly used as an event space for large groups. The food is served family style for the entire table. The food is good, but I also thought it was wasteful to have so many leftovers thrown away. I hate food waste. I wish they offered takeaway containers for the leftovers that had not been touched. Otherwise, the venue is excellent with plenty of free parking in the downtown area.

"There's a hole in the wall Where a nail used to be A nail that held a picture of The one that once held me" (Alan Jackson) I enjoyed an excellent combination of dinner and stand-up comedy at Gemetti's! Our conference group feasted on a multi-course belly busting Italian meal of Wedding Soup, breadsticks, antipasto salad, pasta with white sauce, baked chicken, pork steaks, roasted red skin potatoes, sausage and peppers, green beans and cannoli! One interesting observation was that the dining room walls were COVERED with names of the guests across the years written in Sharpies. Of course, we added ours but let me tell y, it was tough to find an open space. After dinner, we walked over to the theater and saw a performance of "Medium Madness" an interactive screwball comedy murder mystery. I loved how the groups in the theater provided the show with a few names to jump up on stage and become parts of the story. What an outstanding fun experience!

We were invited to Genitti's for my dear friend's rehearsal dinner. We had a lovely time and enjoyed the food and service. We were greeted warmly upon entering with another bridesmaid and her husband and were directed downstairs to join the rest of the party. Be careful on the steps, especially if you're in heels -- they're pretty narrow and steep! We all made it without incident and sat down at a table with the bride and groom. The inside is nicely decorated (even the downstairs) and our room featured an attractive bar. The cocktail menu we were given was extensive and inventive! Lots of yummy sounding drinks (even to me, who doesn't drink much) in addition to standard wine and beer offerings. Service was excellent all night. Very prompt with drinks and food, polite and friendly, direct and helpful. They even brought us a lot of boxes to bring some food back to the hotel where lots of folks were staying since a good handful of people were unable to make it to the rehearsal in time because of flight/traffic delays. Crazy weather weekend! The family style meal was tasty and the offerings were diverse. Italian wedding soup, fresh breadsticks, salad, sausages and peppers, baked chicken and green beans, fettuccine alfredo, breaded steak and potatoes, and cannoli for dessert! My favorite items included the wedding soup and the nicely seasoned, crispy potatoes. I tried both a raspberry cocktail and a tea/lemonade cocktail. I forget the details but they were both enjoyable, with my preference going to the raspberry drink. My complaints are very minor, but just so you get the whole picture, here they are: Lots and lots of food -- enough for multiple servings of almost everything if one was inclined -- but only one cannoli per person for dessert, at least at our table. I definitely could've and would've eaten another one, haha, since I didn't eat a ton of protein and therefore wasn't stuffed. It gets super loud super fast in the basement. At times, it was a little hard to hear each other and make conversation without speaking very loudly, which only made things louder. I was pretty overstimulated by the end. And last, for me personally, I was pretty hot. So just FYI, don't come in a sweater like me, or if you do, come in layers so you can disrobe as you get warmer. This could definitely be my mistake as I'm most assuredly an out-of-towner and don't know the protocol for clothing in Michigan in January, haha. :) Overall though, we very much enjoyed our night at Genitti's, and would recommend them at least as guests for any dinner party type of need!

First time here for the dinner show. Wow. Everything was perfect. The reservations folks were friendly. Seating easy. Staff, amazing. I've rarely seen a better crew trying hard to please everyone. 100% effort. The dinner was a family serving and was delicious. Highly recommended.

I was invited here recently for a holiday party. From the outside Genitti's appears like a very unassuming/ordinary Italian American restaurant. Once you get past the bar and side tables you will make a left to notice two large rooms for bigger parties. One of them has a stage where the staff perform live shows, which I did not expect. But before that we got to enjoy a nice Italian dinner, which consisted of the classics. The menu was obviously pig heavy, so I didn't picture the sausage and pork steak that was offered. The chicken however was a winner. Very juicy inside and crispy outside. Cannoli is amazing, as well as the penne. The wedding soup and salad were very good, albeit kinda basic. This place is definitely a hit for special or celebratory occasions. The staff are just so sweet and hospitable, and make everyone feel like family.

Let me start off by admitting that I thought I sent in my review for Genitti's last October so I APOLOGIZE to the world for not letting you know sooner that you need to RUN, not walk to Genitti's for all of your event needs. My wedding was held on October 15 of 2022 and Laura and the entire staff made everything so easy. There was absolutely not one ounce of stress in my body. Laura made sure my drink was always full and that my heart was happy. I didn't get to even eat dinner too much because obviously everyone wanted a photo with the bride. She packed up a few to go containers, one being completely filled up with just pasta and you know what I did after my wedding? Ate pasta in my hotel bed- the entire container because not only is the service absolutely phenomenal, the food is hearty and made with love. From top to bottom, this facility shines. I have never felt so welcomed and taken care of for an event that I did here. If I could, I would work here part-time just because of the immaculate vibes it gives off. We are going to be returning soon for another dinner theater and now my best friend is holding her baby shower here. I have a feeling that I will be seeing more of Genitti's and their incredible staff here soon. You are all absolutely incredible and you know it!

I came here with a date for the dinner theater show, and it was such a fun experience! It came with a several course meal (shared with your table family style) with the option for refills. We were stuffed at the end! My favorite was the pasta: it was al dente and creamy, yet not too greasy or heavy. I also loved the wedding soup, the Italian "steak" (pork cutlet) with roasted potatoes, the warm breadsticks, and the cannoli for dessert. The staff are all super friendly and attentive. The place was clean, and there's just a really nice ambiance inside. The show itself was hilarious. It was a murder mystery and I was cracking up the whole time! The actors were talented and they even recruited people from the audience to help out (thankfully they didn't pick me...lol)! It was a lovely evening and I highly recommend coming here for their dinner theater.
