" I had heard wonderful things about Gennaro, and honestly, it lives up to the hype! The ambiance is lovely and feels like a hidden gem in the city. We ordered the pappardelle with oxtail ragu and the pasta was perfectly cooked, albeit a little small for my appetite. However, the flavor was spectacular. Service was generally good but could be a bit slow during peak hours. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Gennaro is a true gem! This neighborhood Italian spot offers an impressive wine selection and dishes that jump off the menu. I had the veal ravioli, which was simply divine! It's a family-run establishment, and you can really tell. The servers treat you like one of their own. Just make sure to bring cash as they don’t accept cards. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Gennaro for an anniversary dinner and was absolutely blown away! The atmosphere was cozy and romantic, perfect for the occasion. We started with the endive salad, which was so fresh and flavorful. For mains, I had the spaghetti with meatballs which tasted authentic and hearty. The service was attentive but not intrusive. Overall, a delightful experience that I will cherish for years to come! " (*Curated Review*)

" Gennaro is the type of restaurant that feels like home. The family atmosphere is palpable, and the food is always spot on. We ordered the lasagna and couldn’t believe how good it was! Layers of flavor and plenty of cheese. Our server was delightful, adding to the experience. I’ve never left feeling anything but satisfied. Five stars from me! " (*Curated Review*)

" We recently discovered Gennaro and were pleasantly surprised! From the moment we walked in, the warm smiles from the staff made us feel at home. The kale salad was refreshing, and the chicken saltimbocca was outstanding—so moist and flavorful. I couldn’t resist the tiramisu for dessert, which was heavenly! We’ll definitely make this a regular spot on our dining rotation. " (*Curated Review*)
