    To the person who had a bad experience... I am a Lawrenceville native who is now a regular customer at Geno's. I'd first like to say that the good people of Lawrenceville are so grateful to Geno and his wife for buying what was once one of the biggest nuisance bars and ridding it of the riff raff that typically frequented the joint under prior ownership. They have turned the place into a safe, drug and thug free establishment that one can go to for fantastic food in a safe atmosphere. This is unlike many other places in Lawrenceville where you don't know what sort of character is going to waltz in and belly up to the bar next to you. I felt you were being too harsh in your comments. Sometimes mistakes happen in restaurants...worse things can happen in life. Also, I know Geno would have done whatever you wanted in order to rectify the situation. He is just that type of person. He never wants customers to leave unhappy so next time speak up to your waitress or management before posting a negative comment about a place that deserves nothing but good to be said about them. This is one business in Lawrenceville that is doing it's part to to clean up the town (both literally and figuratively -- drive by any morning to catch Geno outside sweeping the sidewalks of his and other businesses!). To all readers out there: Try this place. You won't be disappointed! Their food is fabulous and the people who own and work there are great.
