At Gennaro's Italian Restaurant in Princeton NJ, we bring a fresh approach to casual fine dining, which results in a warm, intimate, inviting atmosphere. We focus our time and energy into the quality of our products and our relationships with our guests.
"On those real busy days for a restaurant -- like Mother's Day -- I lower my expectations. First, there's the special menu that limits selection. Wherever you go is usually full, so noise is louder, servers are exhausted and stretched. Gennaro's pulled off Mother's Day with style. We were there later in the day and everyone from our host, waitress and busboy were still pleasant, and attentive -- as if they had just shown up for work. The food was well-prepared and showed no signs of a holiday assembly line. Nice touch -- a rose for the moms at the table as we prepared to depart. We definitely look forward to returning on a slow night!"

"My wife and I have been to Gennaro's 3 times. The food has been very good on all occasions and the service is excellent. It is a byob, but the owner is very knowledge re wine and can make recommendations for future reference. Lot's of regulars and usually quiet. This last trip, there was one loud person in a group of five, fortunately they arrived shortly before we finished. I would recommend it to those who like seafood and Italian food. Outside dinning during summer."

"Gennaro's is one of our favorites. The food is always good and the service is impeccable. It is especially nice when Gennaro comes over to our table. He makes each and every patron feel special."

"This was our first visit to Gennaro's in more than five years, so we considered ourselves "first-time" diners. What a treat! The food was excellent, service friendly and efficient. We enjoyed everything we had from salad to espresso. We will return."

"We greeted by the owner who instantly made you feel welcome. The service was outstanding. There were many options on the menu to tempt any taste bud. My husband had the lamb special which was ourstanding and I had the shrimp and scallop....amazing. We were not rushed and had a very nice evening. We will be going again."

"Delicious food with many appealing choices on the menu. Most notable though for a very, very accommodating staff who were intent on our having a good experience."

"Dinner was lovely and the host/owner is an extraordinary restauranteur--personable and attentive but genuine and not in the least intrusive or obsequious. We live in Phila. but subscribe to a theatre series in Princeton. We will surely return to Genarro's again and again when we are in town!"

"Gennaro's was suggested by friends as a spot to have a nice dinner and a BYOB where we could enjoy our own fine wine. A competent waitstaff was able to deal with a difficult cork but the stemware was not adequate for the wine we brought. I could understand if this was just a pizza spot but Gennaros is on the expensive side for the area. I generally do not write reviews for restsurants but I found it disturbing that the restaurant had a 'sharing' charge for the main dish though we had an appetizer and a salad to start. The waitress explained that we could avoid this charge if the main dish and salad were served at the same time. We opted for this and ate our salad after the main course. This policy is ridiculous. We won't return."
