From the outside, you wouldn't notice Genoa — except maybe to wonder what's going on in the kitchen behind that screen door on Belmont everyday. Well, some of the finest culinary masterpieces are being created for nightly multi-course meals (seven-course $80, four-course $60, three-course $45) served in an intimate, windowless-dining room that makes you feel like you've discovered true fine dining in Italy. Visiting politicians and celebs (like Mick Jagger) always make a point to dine on Genoa's genuine Italian meals, and many Portlanders frequently celebrate special occasions at the restaurant, though in true laid-back Portland style, they welcome anyone and everyone (no dress code) to enjoy this nationally-lauded food.
