    Very Average

    Can't complain about anything, but nothing special either. Good food with a relaxed atmosphere, but expensive. Veal Ravioli tasty but small portion, organic chicken with almonds nice. Overall reasonable experience.

    I have eaten here twice and I can say it one of the best restaurants for the money in the upper west side. I am somewhat of a foodie and lived in Boston for many years eating great Italian food. I rate Italian by the...More

    Neighborhood UWS Italiano, worth the trip from anywhere!

    Gennro Italian Restaurant

    Whenever I am in NY, I try to dine at Gennaro and have never been disappointed. The food is fresh, nicely seasoned, pasta is homemade. For NY, the prices are reasonable. I happen to prefer small, intimate restaurants rather than large celebrity owned or Corporate,...More

    Great Neighbohood Restaurant

    Great restaurant on Upper West Side

    This restaurant has been in the same location for years (although it doubled in size some years back) and it continues to set the standard. Cash only, no reservations, and the food is excellent. I would say that it is a little calmer than it...More
