" I had high hopes for Gencarelli’s based on its reputation, but my recent visit was a letdown. While the atmosphere is charming, the food didn’t live up to the hype. I found the marinara sauce too sweet for my taste, which significantly affected my pasta dish. The service was friendly, but I must say it lacked efficiency. I can see where others might have had great experiences, but mine just didn’t align with those. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had my first meal at Gencarelli's last night, and it was everything I was hoping for! From the time we entered, everyone was friendly and welcoming. I ordered the risotto balls to start, and they were perfection! For my main course, I had the Chicken Parmesan—definitely the best I’ve had anywhere! It felt authentic, giving me a taste of Italy right here in New Jersey. Can’t wait to return and try other dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" A quaint place that serves genuinely good Italian. The last time I was there, I’d describe the atmosphere as cozy, which makes it a lovely place for casual dining. The pasta was great, but I found the pizza a bit underwhelming, lacking the vibrant flavors I was looking for. But overall, it was quite good! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was looking forward to dining at Gencarelli's, but sadly left disappointed. The food was alright, but it lacked the robust flavors I was expecting. My Caesar salad was drenched in dressing, making it unappetizing, and the entree was mediocre at best. While the waitstaff was friendly, it didn’t make up for the uninspired food. I won’t be rushing back. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re looking for the real deal Italian meal in town, look no further! Every time I dine in at Gencarelli’s, I am blown away by the authentic flavors. The shrimp scampi is simply divine, paired perfectly with a bottle of their selection of wines. The atmosphere is cozy, perfect for a family dinner. Honestly, this place makes you feel at home. It’s evident they pay close attention to their food and customer service. Highly recommend coming here for your next meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" We discovered Gencarelli's by accident and boy are we glad we did! The food was super fresh with delightful tastes. I tried the lobster ravioli and my husband had the chicken piccata. Each dish blended flavors beautifully! The warm bread served at the start was a lovely way to begin. The atmosphere is casual but classy, making it a perfect spot for date night or a family dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" Oh boy, where do I start? Gencarelli's has my heart. I came here on a whim and from the start, I felt pampered. The waiter was attentive, ensuring everything was just right. The eggplant parmesan was incredible; it was flavorful and comforting like a hug from Nonna! The dessert that followed—a homemade cannoli—was simply the cherry on top of a perfect meal. Not only was the food authentic, but the ambiance was also lovely, providing that genuine Italian experience. This is a must-try if you're anywhere near. " (*Curated Review*)
