Without fail, I was thoroughly satisfied with service, ambiance, and the food. Almost five years have passed since I've eaten there, and I still have dreams of ordering my supper in Italian while there. If you find yourself in or near Polcenigo, you must go to Da Genio. In the questionaire, there isn't an accurate date for my last visit available, so I chose the earliest one that was available.

If you are there during daylight hours, after your meal take a short walk down the street to the Sorgente del Gorgazzo, a small deep pond that leads to an underwater cave. Color is beautiful, and if there is enough light you can look down underwater and see a statue of Jesus with arms spread, looking out for the cave divers who go down to explore (and usually, but not always, return).

We ordered two antipasto of prosciutto and asino cheese: not much to eat and quite expensive for what it was... Pizza: heavy and certainly not what an Italian pizza looks like. Sorry! Expensive, not worth it.

Most definitely a good place to dine; I’ve been there a few times and will definitely go back!

The wine selection is quite large and then they have a full bar. Beer selection limited but if that's what you want drive 2 hours north to Austria. I had the Beef Tagliata which was very good quality cut of meat, good portion and perfectly grilled medium. My kids had Gemelli al pesto which was abundant and also very good although I would have liked it saltier. My wife and friends had pizza which looked very good and I tasted my wife's which was typical Italian style crust which was crunchy on the outside yet the right level of chewy inside. The setting is very nice in an open courtyard and next to a stream. Price was very good with average of 17 Euros p.p. for 1 course including 1 alcoholic drink each.
