Mercato Ristorante at Gennaro's

I would love to give this place one star so people steer away so more room for me. But the reality I am trying to figure out how to give them 10 stars because they are that great. The personalized service, from the owner, makes you feel like you are the only patron in the place. And every time I take someone new there, it becomes their favorite restaurant. Kudos, to Gina and her husband for providing a menu that meets the needs of everyone even if you have dietary restrictions. Even the desserts are above and beyond.

I write reviews when it matters and to only help others. I am a high critic on service. Probably the best I have experienced...thanks to Gina. And it literally started when I made the reservations. The food, authentic and outstanding. I cannot wait to come back. Thank you for making our family's Fathers Day memorable.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Mercato this spring afternoon. The food was excellent and the service was top-notch. The menu had so many appealing dishes that we are already planning to return just so we can try the second and third choices we each had.

I recently entrusted mercato to put together catering trays for a school fundraiser and they did not disappoint! Their antipasto trays kept guests coming back to the food table. Mercato was very generous with the portion! The staff was very kind and pick up was seamless. Thank you so much!

I went here for the first time Friday for my grandma's birthday and we had a wonderful time. It is a smaller BYOB place that doesn't look like much from the outside but it's beautiful inside. The food was delicious- I loved the calamari, bruschetta (it has really flavorful olives), and the penne bolognese. My boyfriend loved the pollo Montecarlo but the portion was a bit too small for him. The service was really good too. I'm already looking forward to coming back!

First time stopping by Mercato, the owner and staff were very welcoming and accommodating despite not having reservations. Gina , the waitress was FANTASTIC! Every recommendation she had was on point and she was super friendly and polite and super nice to my 10 Years old son , the service and good overall was excellent! Extremely fresh . We highly recommended.

First time there! What a beautiful and cozy place. Delighted with the service and what we ordered to eat an A+ We ordered a cheese steak accompanied by pasta, uff! What luxury. It looks like an Italian deli, so you can find a variety of options if you like Italian food, and it definitely offers a gorgeous restaurant setting.

Outstanding crew producing outstanding menu and outstanding chefs producing outstanding food ! Try the specials ... nothing like the veal!! The best of @NewJersey .
