Gennaro's Restaurant & Ctrng

Gennaro's offers high quality delicious Italian cuisine in a relaxed setting. Far from being your average menu. My personal favorite is an appetizer of Greens Genarro, with Lobster Ravioli and Chocolate Hazelnut gelato for dessert. I have been a patron for years and it is my ""go to"" place for all special occasions. more

My experience was not as I had hoped. I don't wish to be mean, I just think these guys are out of their comfort zone. This would be a great pizza place or quick pasta, it's just not anywhere near fine dinning. Pros: The service Cons: The food more

I liked La Terraza... but I love Gennaro's, this engaging establishment's reincarnation. The original La Terraza made its debut in 1999 under the proprietorship of Gennaro Costabile \r . The light and airy precincts charm patrons with stucco walls, terra cotta tile, lace window panels enlivened with colorful draperies, and beige over green napery. There is even ""La Terraza,"" the terrace, for warm weather al fresco dining. But even more than the pleasant decorative embellishments, it is the pristinely fresh ""feel"" of the place that strikes one immediately, the sense that the entire establishment had been scrubbed, top to bottom, just seconds before you entered. \r \r Benjamin Brault a Johnson & Wales grad, is the power behind the stove, and his menu has its own unique rewards. Among the antipasti, the house signature dish, ""Greens Gennaro"" ($10.00), simply steals the show. A luscious web of beautifully sauteed escarole is commingled with morsels of chopped hot cherry peppers and prosciutto and enhanced with seasoned breadcrumbs and sprinkling of house-blended cheeses. The result is an utterly beguiling gestalt of tastes and textures counterpoised by just enough heat to tantalize rather than traumatize the palate. \r \r more
