    Bruschetta Crostini
    Jerry P.

    It is a curious thing that I live only a few minutes from Gennaro's yet almost never find myself dining there on my own. Perhaps it is because the meals I have there are so strongly tied to business dinners that my subconscious now associates the place with productivity instead of pleasure. That said, these dinners occur every few months, and I have rarely left disappointed. Our gatherings usually follow a familiar rhythm. A basket of bruschetta appears, accompanied by a simple salad that does its job without fanfare. Soon after come the main courses: ziti, chicken parmesan, and a steak dish, served family style, along with a medley of vegetables to make us all feel marginally virtuous. The food is reliably good, hearty, and satisfying. Every so often the kitchen's enthusiasm for salt outpaces mine, but never enough to spoil the evening. Dessert brings an assortment of pastries and petits fours, which make for a civilized end to the meal. Service is always friendly, professional, and attentive without hovering. The private back room where our group meets is comfortable and well-suited for conversation, a small haven where ideas are exchanged and plates are emptied at roughly the same pace. Four stars because nothing is perfect, but Gennaro's comes close enough for government work. If I ever start dining there on my own, I'll consider that a personal milestone.

    Went to Gennaro's for dinner while visiting family in Hamilton. We made a reservation, so we were seated immediately after entering. It's a pretty nice restaurant, and it was pretty packed. Service was a bit slow, it took awhile before someone came to take our orders, though they did provide water. Our waitress was friendly and answered any questions we had regarding the food. But it did take long for our food to come out. I got to try the Potato Pizza, the plain Tomato pie, the shrimp scampi pasta, and the artichoke heart francese. Pizzas were OK. I've definitely had better Trenton Tomato Pies in the area. The shrimp on the shrimp scampi was overcooked, but the sauce was good. The artichoke heart francese was an appetizer, but it was my favorite thing. It could have passed for chicken francese with it's excellent texture.

    Went to dinner with the family and sat outside. The breeze was perfect. Service was quick and very nice. I tried the Plum & Tonic and my wife tried the Cosmo. Both pretty good. Appetizers were fantastic my favorite was the sweet & spicy calamari. For my entree I had the chicken sorrentino. For dessert I had the pistachio ricotta cake.

    Solid Italian restaurant in the area that we've been coming to for years. Lots of delicious, fresh, & flavorful dishes, some being out of the box. Pizza is great & so is the Vodka Chicken Parm. Ambiance inside is a nice and a little upscale feeling. Is pretty expensive, but not too much worse than most Italian in the area. Would definitely recommend.

    Gennaro's is nestled in a strip mall on the Robbinsville/Hamilton stretch of Route 33 where there's no shortage of Italian eateries. I would say compared to other area restaurants, they got a bit of an edge in ambiance and atmosphere, which makes them ideal for date night, getting together with friends, or a family meal. They were decorated nicely for the holidays on a recent lunch visit with festive music playing. Meals start off with complimentary bread which is always a decent way to begin a meal. We got a variety of items including garlic bread with cheese, a personal tomato pie, and a chicken parmigiana sandwich. There were no weak points as all the items were fresh and flavorful, prepared using quality ingredients. The garlic bread was delicious and cheesy without being overly greasy. I am not the biggest fan of tomato pies as it's not in my wheelhouse for preferred style of pizza, so I'm not the best judge of them, but all the ingredients were flavorful. It could have used a little more crisp, but was decent nonetheless. While the fries were average, I liked that the chicken parmigiana sandwich had a decent cut of chicken as lots of restaurants have the thinly sliced variety that's mostly breading. The accompanying tomato sauce was robust and meshed well with the chicken, cheese, and bread for a satisfying meal. While nothing was particularly exceptional, the food was solid Italian fare, which is high praise in this area where almost every shopping plaza has a pizzeria/Italian restaurant. Service was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. We'd definitely return to Gennaro's and recommend them to others looking for Italian cuisine in the Robbinsville/Hamilton area.

    We love this restaurant, we've been coming since it first opened. We came for Christmas Eve dinner as a family and every single thing we ordered was delicious. Our service on Christmas Eve was also amazing, our waitress was very sweet and efficient. Their pizza is great especially the grandma pie.

    Just not good- I've gotten food here countless times, both in person and takeout, and I somehow keep forgetting how mediocre it is. In person is slightly decent, but still not worth it. Theres so many better places in central NJ. The pasta comes with barely any sauce, the salad was flavorless, just genuinely not good.

    Raw chicken disgusting

    Trying to make customers sick smh as expensive as wings are the least you can do is cook them properly

    Shrimp scampi and roasted chicken in the back.

The thin crust is perfectly baked, light, and crispy, making it easy on the palate and the stomach while still delivering bold, delicious flavor. The combination of mustard and sausage is unique and incredibly satisfying. What makes this place even more special is its more than 100 years of experience -- you can truly taste the tradition, craftsmanship, and passion in everything they serve. This is not just pizza; it's history and excellence on a plate. Highly recommended -- we'll definitely be coming back!

My Chicken Piccata was well-seasoned and flavorful. Cons: While the staff was pleasant, the service was extremely slow--especially considering there were only seven tables seated and we were the first to arrive. Our table of five ordered just two appetizers, yet the entire meal took three hours to complete. This delay was not due to extended conversation but rather very slow kitchen execution and service. Additionally, over the course of three hours, I was served only two glasses of water, the second of which I had to request. Water glasses were left half-empty for long periods; refills should be automatic. Finally, the broccoli served with my Chicken Piccata was ice cold. Overall: There are many other Italian restaurants in the area offering comparable pricing with significantly better food quality and far superior service. Based on the above mentioned, I'd give this a 2 out of 5 stars as this restaurant has some redeeming qualities, but not an experience I'd return for.

That is like opening a lemonade stand between two Niagara Falls. And yet Nonno Sal's keeps the ovens hot and the lights on. There's something admirable about that. Persistence is a virtue, and so is knowing exactly what you are. Nonno Sal's isn't chasing the high end pizza pilgrim. You won't find philosophical arguments about char or hydration levels happening here. What you will find is a fairly dependable pie with thin crust that holds up, a good layer of cheese, and sauce that tastes like someone has been making it the same way for awhile. The slices fold without complaint and the toppings behave themselves. It's the sort of pizza you bring home on a Friday when everyone is tired and nobody wants to cook or a speech. The prices are kinder to your wallet than the famous spots nearby, and that matters. Not every meal needs to be a religious experience. Sometimes food just needs to feed five people without causing regret. The sandwiches and salads are solid citizens too. Nothing showy, just competent and filling. They even still do a nice version of Peppers and Eggs, which is a throwback I can appreciate. The dining area has a few old Formica tables that look like they have seen a few Little League celebrations, but not much regular use. You can eat there if you like, but this is a takeout joint through and through. In a world that rewards spectacle, Nonno Sal's rewards appetite and respects your budget. It knows its job and does it. That's more than can be said for most things anymore. Four stars for staying in your lane and driving it well.
