our Story

Alex Rodriguez relocated from New York City to Saratoga Springs in the fall of 2018. Operating a restaurant is no foreign concept to him, as he has spent his extensive career in hospitality.

Alex began his career in 1995, owning and operating a neighborhood bar and grill in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village. From there, he went on to own, operate, and/or partner in nearly 20 restaurants, including Greenwich Brewing Company, 121 Fulton Street, Sushi Samba, and Bocadillo. Most recently, he was the COO of a national hospitality group based in New York City. His passion for food, service, and hospitality is his driving force. He is thrilled to be Gennaro’s newest owner and is excited to contribute to Saratoga’s high standards within the industry.

Alex hopes to serve the community with a smile, provide a superior product, and become a major influence in the hospitality field in Saratoga County, Albany County, and the surrounding areas.
