Gennaro's is a classic Italian restaurant that feels like a walk back in time with a unique vibe more reminiscent of a pool hall or bar. The food is great with classic Italian dishes at affordable prices. The fried mushrooms are a standout menu item that one reviewer calls the best thing they've ever eaten, while others rave about the cheese bread with spicy sauce and fried ravioli. The service is excellent, with a friendly bartender who tells Chuck Norris jokes. Despite a busy kitchen on a Friday evening, customers were kept informed of wait times. The meatball spaghetti and bruschetta are recommended dishes, and the environment and employees are praised for creating a welcoming atmosphere. Overall, Gennaro's is a highly recommended spot for delicious Italian food and great customer service.

It was a busy Friday evening, and their kitchen staff struggled to keep up. The crew did a super job letting us know about the waiting time. This used to be the neighborhood spot. It has been 20 years since I stopped by. I am not 100% sure if it is still the same joint, but it doesn't disappoint! The food is great, almost too good for the price. Try the meatball spaghetti, bruschetta! You won't regret it... As we are hooked!

My family has been dining at Gennaro’s my whole life. I just want to give compliments to the chef tonight. The fried mushrooms are one of the best things I’ve ever eaten in my life!! The pizza was also superb. I couldn’t find a place on Slice to leave a review (even tho I’m hesitant to let this masterpiece secret get out for fear they will change under high demand. But whomever the chef was tonight—I’m dreaming about the mushrooms. They were exquisite! Can you pass along this message to the chef and current owners? Friday night delivery has never been so good!

This place has been around since I was a 12-year-old and ordered pizza at 2:00 in the morning and paid for it with pennies. They are still serving awesome food and Pizza. You can't go wrong with this Italian place. Not sure if they deliver pizza at 2:00 in the morning anymore though. By the way I'm 60 now.

Not what I expected, when we walked in. But, give it a shot. The cheese bread with spicy sauce is great. Must get the fried ravioli. The lasagna, and calzone are incredible. The deserts are okay. But the service was awesome and if you are lucky....the bar tender will tell you Chuck Norris jokes. Love it. I will be back!
