" Gennaro's is indeed a gem in our community! On our recent visit, we indulged in the seafood fettuccine, and I must say, the freshness of the fish truly stood out. However, the wait time for our meal was longer than expected, and when it arrived, my spouse's dish was a bit lukewarm. Hopefully, it was just an off night because we have had great experiences in the past. The staff were friendly and prompt with drink refills, so the evening wasn't a total wash. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Gennaro's was a delightful experience! The food was fabulous, especially the homemade lasagna, which was packed with flavor and had a great portion size - I barely finished it! Service was friendly but slightly slower than I'd hoped, though I could tell that the restaurant was quite busy. My friends and I will surely return, especially since you can carry out leftovers, which is a bonus. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came for a birthday celebration and had a great time! The staff was very diligent in making sure we were comfortable. The flavors in each dish were marvelous, particularly the eggplant parmesan. I think Gennaro's has struck the right balance between atmosphere and quality food. Worth every penny spent! " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I chose Gennaro's for our recent date night, and it was quite the adventure. The food was delicious, but we faced a long wait to be seated and an even longer wait for our food. The ambiance was relaxing, but after a while, it felt a little too slow-paced. Despite that, the chicken parmesan was worth it! Ensure you make a reservation if you're planning to dine during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place continues to impress! Every visit to Gennaro’s brings better and better food. Last time I savored the mussels, which came in a flavorful broth, and then I had the chicken Bolognese, highly recommended from our server. They offer great value for the generous portion sizes and the staff are all so welcoming. A must-visit in North Charleston. " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere is nice and the decor is charming, but I've experienced better Italian food elsewhere. My meal was edible but not remarkable. I ordered the lasagna which had potential but was lacking a certain depth of flavor. It's a decent place for a quick meal, but I probably won’t rush back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Definitely a solid choice for Italian cuisine! I always have a great time here, whether it's with friends or family. Their calzones are a delight—crispy on the outside and stuffed to the brim. Plus, the staff has always been friendly and attentive no matter how busy it gets. I look forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)
