With Atalanta not playing until Sunday, Antonio Conte's side took advantage as first-half headers from Frank Anguissa and Amir Rrahmani saw them leapfrog La Dea to the Serie A summit.
The Partenopei broke the deadlock after a quarter of an hour, as Anguissa rose to nod home David Neres' cross.
It was 2-0 just eight minutes later, with Rrahmani meeting Stanislav Lobotka's deep cross, and looping a header over Genoa goalkeeper Nicola Leali.
The hosts responded six minutes after the break to halve the deficit, as Vitinha cut the ball back for Andrea Pinamonti to slot home.
Genoa pushed for the equaliser later on. Substitutes Mario Balotelli and Caleb Ekuban were denied by Alex Meret, who preserved all three points for Conte's side.
