I've been living in Shanghai for +10 years and this is so far the best italian restaurants if u r looking for absolutely authentic southern italian food. The place is a bit far the normal tourist route (Gubei) but it's worth the taxi ride. The Chef (Roberto) is by far one of the funniest chef I've met and seems that... More

I have been to the restaurant twice, but have not been there since. The first time was good. But the second has really put me off. I ordered a medium-rare steak; it came out medium-well. I requested it to be changed. Too obviously, the chef was not happy, the steak came out rare together with easily a kg of salt.... More

Were in Shanghai for 2 weeks and went to Gennora for dinner three times. We enjoyed the food very much. They have a wide selection of pasta as well as a good variety of meat dishes. The staff were very accomodating and tried to please their guests which is a good thing. Their homemade pesto limoncello is to die for.... More

My weekly go back place (as its also close to my house). Its an Italian restaurant were you can have also meat and fish dishes. It has a nice bar area to relax before you start dinning or to remain after diner. Best meals are with beef (except the beef platter to share with two)

This restaurant is the place to go either if you are a nostalgic italian here in Shanghai or you want to try a real italian meal. The choice is wide, very traditional in a way but served in a modern way at the same time. The portions are more than fair and definitely worth the price. The atmosphere is nice... More

Gennaro is in the Minhang area with in walking distance of the Hilton Hongqiao. Menu offers a wide selection of well priced Italian dishes including meat, seafood, pastas, pizzas. A good wine list is all Italian. We found a very nice red for 249 RMB. Pizzas perfect for two. Atmosphere is very comfortable and the wait staff is very accommodating.... More
