Gennaro Restaurant

After 4 years away from the city I love, it’s good to know that in the post-COVID world, this oasis still exists. The Grilled Lamb Chops with Garlic Mashed Potatoes & Sautéed Greens are still perfect. The Malbec is still a standout on the wine list and the Tiramisu is worth every bite. There’s nothing better than starting it all off with a Frisée Salad. (I love their Crème Brûlée.) The atmosphere at night is great, although on this winter night, it was somewhat too warm. The wait staff are knowledgeable and attentive.

For a restaurant that only accepts cash and is expensive one would expect excellent service and great food; but this is not the case. The food is not that good, the preparation is lacking, and the service is lackluster. There is no dish I would recommend.

Great Italian food on the Upper West Side! My wife and I have been coming here since it opened in the mid 90`s. The food never disappoints and the atmosphere is very cozy - great neighborhood spot.

Haven't been here in a while - exceptional service from Mike, and great wine selection recommendations! Great classic Italian dishes.

Partner and I just moved in to the UWS and this place has already become our delivery go-to! Food is always amazing and consistent and Edward is always patient in answering all our questions and suggesting recommendations!!! Try their Spinach Ricotta Ravioli!!!

Cute local Italian restaurant with good pastas and decent portions. Service is a bit brusque but overall friendly. Keep in mind the restaurant is cash-only.

Everything was amazing but the gnocchi was truly melt-in-your-mouth good. Also ordered the fava bean salad, pappardelle oxtail ragú, and tiramisu. Everything was delicious and the staff was incredibly friendly and on their game. Felt like a great neighborhood joint and will definitely be coming back. + Spacious outdoor seating.

I have been coming here for around 18 years. Food is still excellent and service is timely. I hope they are around for another 18 more. It used to be pretty loud, but that has been handled at this point. I recently went back and it is as good as I remember. I always get the kale salad, and I enjoy their meat dishes.
