Stopped here on the way back from Pennsylvania on a whim after hearing good things about the food. Gennaro's definitely lived up the the hype. Wife had a turkey sub, kids had pizza and chicken fingers, and I had a south philly roast pork sub. Turkey lettuce tomato were fresh and the sub was delicious. Kids chicken fingers were great and the pizza was on point. Honestly, it was a nice thin crust and just enough sauce and cheese without being oily. Both mine and my wife's sandwiches were served with house made potato chips. MADONNA MIA. These chips were phenomenal. Saving the best for last...this south philly roast pork sandwich was hands down the best sandwich I ever had. I'm serious. They put roast pork, broccoli rabe, long hot peppers, and provolone on a roll with a touch of olive oil. It was unbelievable. Did I mention it was epic? Seriously, if you're into spicy flavorful food, try it because you won't be disappointed. I didn't even get to the service. You can tell Gennaro's takes great pride in their food and service. Our waiter (think his name was Geno) was a younger kid but had the manners and politeness of someone much older. Food was served quick and he kept checking to make sure we were ok. Gave refills on drinks without even asking. We will definitely be back again....soon. Oh, did I mention the south philly roast pork sandwich? read more

This is my go-to pizza. I order once a week on average. They have the tomato pie style pizzas, and some brilliant specialty pies. My only gripe is the lack of a Sicilian pie, but everything I've tried is top notch. Yes, there are a lot of great pizza places on/near Route 33 in Robbinsville/Hamilton, but this one shouldn't be missed. (Try the bianco pie.) read more

Dinner for 25 was simply amazing. From the horderves to the desserts everything was beautifully presented and very tasty. Service was outstanding. It's also a BYOB. Highly recommend Gennaro's. read more

I recently ordered from Gennaro's restaurant and I had a couple hiccups with my order. So I contacted the restaurant and I spoke with Jamie and she was such a sweetheart! She accommodated me in the best way possible and was dedicated to making sure my next experience was top notch. I will definitely be returning, especially due to Jamie's hospitality! read more

Always a delicious meal at Gennaros - Jerry, excellent job! Chicken Francese / divine!

Outstanding food and service. Gennaro was so accomadating and kind during our difficult time. He put together a wonderful funeral luncheon in two days. I can't thank him enough and his wonderful staff. Tina read more

Food is great, service is great but the noise level is high. Don't go if they are having a big party of people inside. They have no way to wall off a party so all the diners are bombarded by the noise. My wife and I took old friends on Wednesday night and you could hardly hold your own conversation. The decor does nothing to absorb the noise it just bounces off the walls. Next time we will be sure to ask beforehand if they are having a large party and if so pick another night. You pay more for something better and expect not to have to shout to be heard. Rich C. read more

There are so many Italian restaurants in Hamilton, NJ and this is by far the WORST. Mediocre food and terrible service. We waited over an hour for our food and when it came it had a nasty hair in it. I will not be back again and that's honest! read more

One of Mercer County's finest Italian dining gems! If you are craving authentic Italian dishes (their eggplant parm is truly out of this world), pasta or pizza to die for (their tomato sauce alone will leave your mouth watering), then look no further. And did I mention their meatballs...impeccable service and an outstanding menu. Do yourself a favor...check out Gennaro's...take-out or dine in their cozy eating area. You will be in heaven. AMAZING!! read more

Ok restaurant. Food is good. Definitely a locals hangout and felt a little out of place as I was in town for business and stopped here based on a local's recommendation. Service was courteous and prompt. The only negative is the hostess who upon asking if she could call me a taxi after dinner so I could get back to the airport, was told she didn't know how or who to call, but, recommended I use my own cellphone and Google for a taxi. read more

Love your restaurant. The food and atmosphere make it feel like having dinner at Mom's! However, not this time. My family and I were so upset, we felt the need to let you know how poorly we were cared for. We've been to Gennaro's 8-10 times, and we would like to continue coming to you. Jamie was our waitress. She was very aloof, non-caring, and seemed like she was preoccupied on something other than us. She made our experience LESS than perfect as it always has been. I would like to suggest that Management speak with this young lady asap. Jamie needs a lesson in manners, and frankly she is a terrible reflection on your restaurant. PLEASE fix this. If it happened to me and my family, it happened to others, and will continue to happen to future guests. read more

The food & tomato pies are always wonderful. Unfortunately, the service is "IFFY". I wanted to speak with the owner that very night, a few months ago on our LAST visit, but my husband suggested that I let it go, and write up a review instead. A few times, we had "Jamie" as our server. Every time we've had her, it seems that she walks with a "chip on her shoulder". She is rude and has terrible manners. My husband and I haven't been there for a few months, and the other night, we figured we'd give it a try, in hopes that things would've been different. The food was WONDERFUL, thank you, however, as you may have guessed it, the service SUCKED!! There was a "private party" inside the restaurant, so we had to sit outside. That wasn't too bad, but "Jamie" was our server, again. She didn't pay any attention to details, thus causing numerous mistakes. Well, Mr. Gennaro, you have lost our patronage because of "Jamie's" rudeness and terrible service. We have recommended your restaurant to many of our friends, and unfortunately, the ones who have had "Jamie" serving them, many of them have the same or similar comments: "great service, but 'Jamie'....." We feel that we need to bring this to her attention, and especially to your attention, Mr. Gennaro, so that this may hopefully be taken care of. After this last awful experience, my husband suggested that I write this review, hopefully our concerns will be taken SERIOUSLY. Until something can be done about this, from now on, if we decide that we want your food, we'll order it for DELIVERY!!! This way, we wont have to deal with "Jamie's" horrendous service. read more

We were craving Italian food and had never been here before so we decided to stop in. They have a really nice covered patio so we decided to eat outside. Everything on the menu looked good so it was hard to choose something but we ended up getting spaghetti and meatballs, potato pizza, and the side of truffles. Everything was delicious! I am very picky about meatballs and I have to say that these were really good. The pizza crust was thin and crisp even at the end of dinner. The best thing was the polenta. It had mushrooms and truffle oil in it and it was so creamy and delicious. The next time I come here I will definitely be getting the polenta again. The only negative was the flies that were hovering around but that's not the restaurants fault. read more

First time ordering here, ordered cheesesteak sandwiches and mozzarella sticks and man...very disappointed! The bread tasted like it came from wawa down the street, cheap quality? And it was not even toasted at all, who hates soggy bread? Yea everyone. The steak inside had no flavor either and it had peppers and onions...it just tasted like a subway steak sandwich with 80% bread 20% steak. It wasn't cheap either, it was like $8-up for sandwich. Subway is cheaper. Man, cheesesteak sandwiches in Hamilton just all suck! Mozzarella sticks? Easy to not F this up right? Yea I ate better mozz sticks from the shop rite freezer section, Even Burger king mozz sticks have more flavor! The good reviews are mostly the pizza here, so I may give them 1 more chance there and order there pizza, but if its just another disappointment this will be my last visit. read more

Service was wonderful, nice atmosphere, a little noisy but overall cozy. The tomato pie was tasty--but way too much oregano. The fried calamari was crunchy and fresh, but a little too salty. I would definitely go back again--but I would probably order something different. The bread and seasoned olive oil were delicious! And the waiter did refill our iced teas very quickly. Overall I enjoyed our experience. read more

Definitely eat HERE! This Italian food never disappoints when I order in, and last night they helped me celebrate Graduation Dinner for a large party - EVERY person raved about the food - I knew they would not disappoint! Thanks to Gerry and the entire staff at Gennaro's for serving up the best food and for accommodating our party's every last request from the time I booked until the last person left! read more

Have dined here several times over the last few months as it is very convenient to our daughter's dance school. Usually just stop in for some tomato pie - which is just as good as, if not better, than, their competitors (DeLorenzo's) up the road. Excellent crust & the sauce is very tasty!! We also order salads or soup - very good on both. Last recently ordered dinners here. Beware the specials!! Don't get me wrong - they were excellent in terms of taste & quality, but shame on us for not asking the prices beforehand!! Veal special was $32 and an asparagus appetizer was $14!! The only negative - the service is not very attentive. At this point we know who to ask for and who to avoid - there's definitely a difference between some of the servers. read more

Very inattentive and snotty staff. They all seemed miserable and unwelcoming. Food was ok but might have enjoyed it more with more pleasant service. read more

The Italiano pizza is worth multiple first borns. The ambiance is great, particularly outside and the mussels in red sauce ( so I've been told) rock. And BYOB is a bonus as well as the super bonus of being near Halo Pub. read more

This red truant serves good Classic Italian good. The Pasta (ESPECIALLY the Pene Vodka) is to die for, and the pizza is, above average. The salads, are Ok but the servers are efficient. My family has been here a couple times, and it's very crowded and small. Over all, a good Italian experience. read more

We were a party of six and everyone thought the food was excellent. Even my mother-in-law, who usually complains about food being too salty, was happy and said the food was seasoned just right. Everyone concurred. Service was good too, and our waiter plus another did their best even when things got busy. read more

Ordered a pizza to go on a Friday which was half cooked. I understand being busy but this had sausage on it that was still a little pink. My neighbors like them, but I am hard pressed to retry. read more

Brought friends from UK last week for authentic Italian meal. We were not disappointed! Had XYZ pasta. Always a favorite. It really should be added to the menu. Margarita pizza was very good. They were impressed with peach sorbet. read more

Came here 45 mins before close and they told me they were no longer making slices... as someone who's been here multiple times and worked as a server for 8+ years, I was disappointed in their customer service and rudeness. My boyfriend and I were appalled their only solution was to "order a pie to go" when my bf only wanted 2 slices. Left and went to Manninos who happily served us slices. Woman manager was standing within ear shot and didn't care. Very disappointed and lost a loyal customer. read more

Have ordered pizza when they were a very small venue. They have expanded to a full dinning room. Pizza was good, so the other night decided to give the full menu a try. Service was excellent, the young lady who waited on us did a fine job and she was a fill in.. was to be hosting that night. Food, I have to say I am not one to look to eat out at an Italian restaurant ( I am more of a Steak House kind of guy) but this was excellent. I will certainly give Gennaro's another try to see if they hold up to the same standards of service and meal soon. Note: BYOB. read more

Not a fan of the pizza. Limp and too chunky of a sauce. Pepperoni was small and thick. To me this pizza doesn't fit in with the other 'jersey' pizza you can get in the same neighborhood. read more

Planned a 60th Birthday dinner -had 12 people on a Sat. night and everyone loved their food and server was great.

Delicious-small pie is enough for two or three people! Ordered eggplant with a substitute of vodka sauce and it was delicious! Not greasy at all, and came with a heaping pile of pasta! Great ambience but not so stuffy it's also kid friendly, read more

Been here a lot over the years but never reviewed this place. The pizza is definitely in my top 10. Love the FIG pizza and the clam pizza. My first pizza here was a sausage and hot pepper, always a favorite. We ate outside, and the staff was great. APPS Grilled shrimp in sweet chili sauce - great Calmari - nice and tender Stuffed mushrooms - A little dry - lots of sausage, almost too much (what am I saying?) Dinner I had Veal Sorrentino and a side of the polenta - very well done would order again - the polenta was awesome Others all enjoyed their Dinners - the bone in chicken dish was really good as well as the chicken saltimboca. A nice place to get together BYO - I had the Veal Sorrentino read more

For the last seven years we have always eaten at Genaros. They make the best chicken Parmesan dinner ever. We always order it with a vodka sauce. they also make the best tomato pie in the area. Thanks from Richie & Donna.. read more

This is my 3rd time at Gennaro's. 1st time excellent, 2nd time, ok, but our last visit was pretty bad. Ordered all 3 specials; Asparagus Soup - just meh, it tasted like asparagus and salt. Salad was Grilled watermelon on arugula with goat cheese, candied pecans and balsamic vinaigrette. There was scant amount of goat cheese, watermelon was not sweet. Entree was Tuscan shrimp pasta with Parmesan cream sauce. Unfortunately, no sooner were our salads taken away that we rec'd our entree which was so obvious that it was sitting. The pasta had already dried out and the sauce congealed. Shrimp was favorable, but not enough to save this dish. We passed on the dessert. Perhaps this was an off night but that off night cost me over $50, which included 20% tip and I left hungry. read more

We had a fantastic dinner! Samantha our server really took care of us and she made sure we had what we needed at all times. We had a big party of 12 and all salads and entrees came out at the right time and no one waited for anything. The meals were amazingly delicious and will diff go back. read more

My husband and I have been coming to Gennaro's a few years and we absolutely LOVE Gennaro's!! The food is excellent! From entrees to pizzas you, can't go wrong. We LOVE this place! The service is just amazing! Everyone from the owner and entire staff, they are all exceptional. You should go. You won't be disappointed. read more

Meh... Had the Veal Parm Saturday night, tough and flavorless. Water refills were a struggle, and the staff really couldn't have cared any less that we were there. After dropping about $80 (no alcohol here) for 3, no 'thank you', or acknowledgement on the way out. Kinda surprised. read more

I recently had my son's wedding rehearsal dinner at Gennaros restaurant. I just wanted to say thank you so much to the staff at Gennaros for making this occasion so special. First of all the food was excellent, please tell Art thank you. He is truly a skilled chef. Secondly, the service and atmosphere could not have been better. Everyone commented on the variety and taste of the food as well as the attentive service. Lastly, thank you to Larry for his personal touch. Just the fact that he continually came out to the patio to check on us, made us feel that everyone really cared. Please thank everyone for me and I hope to see you again very soon. read more

No complaints from me really. The food tasted fresh and the service was decent. I tried one of their sandwiches, too, which was nicely toasted. The starter bread was surprisingly uninteresting compared to how delicious it usually is at other Italian restaurants. I would go here again, just to try what other options they have and then re-review then. read more

Zero service. 5 staff sitting in back playing video games. Never brought water ketchup salt or offer a refill. I won't ever return

This restaurant is fantastic. I got this mozzarella ball on top of tomato and fried eggplant with balsamic, a basil oil and fine prosciutto ... changed my life forever, mmmm. So good, so fresh! Leo the new waiter was a great guy and his teacher was super friendly. Louis the Guatemalan all around all star kept our table full of fresh parmesan and water. Sat outside on the warm sept evening. Love the byob aspect, saves a lot of money. Keep being awesome Genarro's. read more

Have always had a positive experience! Food is great and servers on point. Outside seating a plus for me!

We had a great meal here on vacation. Food was outstanding had chicken parm, ravioli. Server was awesome, made sure everything was the way we wanted with sauces and stayed on top of drinks and bread for us. Great place highly recommend! read more
