This restaurant was located by the Save-a-lot across the street from the outlet mall. After shopping, it was dinner, so decided to stop in. This restaurant is located in a strip mall. The dining room was one big room. One side of the dining room had some lattice hanging from the ceiling and some decorations in order to make it... More

This is the best italian food in town (not really fair because there is not much else)....their sauces are fresh, their meatballs are delicious and I have never had a bad service experience there. I have visited this restaurant probably 50 times since retiring in Crossville...I wouldn't be going back if I didn't like it. Their food style is completely... More

Not familiar with Crossville, we found this little gem hidden in the Save-a-lot strip mall. We enjoyed a tasty and affordable lunch of baked ziti, vegetable primavera and Creme brûlée. The waitress (Taylor?)was friendly, food was good and place was very clean. We would visit again.

We used to eat here often but are now on a special diet and can't eat wheat, beef, pork or shrimp. However, when we did go there for meals we enjoyed chef special meals which was far superior in quality to any other restaurant in the area at prices which were very low for that caliber of food. In fact,... More

The people at Genesis are always sweet and friendly. If they recognize you as a prior customer it's like being welcomed back home. The food, especially the ziti is very good.

Great food, better than average service, bountiful portions, wonderful variety. I eat here once or twice a month, and have never had even a mediocre meal.

Very hit or miss. Good food one day, tasteless garbage the next. Too unpredictable to get a strong rating towards either end of the spectrum. Menu highlights are the meatball sandwich and the pizza. These have yielded the most consistent results for me.

This is a great little restaurant. Took our friend, whose mother was from Italy, and he loved it. I usually end up ordering the spaghetti and meatballs, as they are so good. The marinara sauce is excellent.

Great waitress! Tired decor. OK food. The Chicken Marsala had nice chicken pieces and lots of mushrooms, but the sauce was light on any wine flavor. The guys liked their spaghetti and meatballs. The Chicken Parmesan needed more sauce, but the potato wedges were fantastic. The fresh bread is very good, as well. None of the entrees came with soup... More
