Gennaro's Restaurant - Italian restaurant in Spotswood - 100 Summerhill Rd, USA

SHORTCUT CENTRAL: OVER PRICED, POOR PORTIONING AND LACKS QUALITY! I’m a culinary/Hospitality management school Dean’s List graduate. This is a qualified review: The “sauce“ taste like institutional grade tomato soup made with too much water and lacks flavor. I’m afraid of what they would pass off as Bolognese. Ordered a traditional cheesesteak with the peppers, onions and mushrooms, and “I think” I may have spotted a shriveled sliver of Green bell pepper, maybe a small dice or two of onions and I hope it was a mushroom. Protein in this case would have been the “steak” in “cheesesteak” Which was overcooked and dry. Clearly a rush job and clearly a penny pinching outfit. Clearly short, changing customers in order to keep the personal margin fat. Either The owner is very cheap or whoever is managing Is completely under qualified or just don’t care. An order of mozzarella sticks is eight dollars here for a serving of five Which works out to $1.60 per mozzarella stick. Even with the current surge in the price of cheeses, this is pure, unadulterated greed Also indicative of petty and cheap decision-makers. The usual serving is 6 to 8 for between $6.95 - $8.95. These people are so cheap, they skim one and charge people near Max. You’ll see higher prices in some of your more upscale places. There are much better options where you will pay the same Or a little less within a 10 mile radius of that place This place is not one that I would recommend. In fact, I would recommend driving past.

Delicious! I couldn’t get enough of the garlic knots, soaked in garlic oil. 🤤 Calamari was good, served with bread and sauce. Even pizza by the slice was good. All in all, can’t go wrong here.

Best local Italian restaurant, with reasonable dinner prices and super service. BYOD is great as well.

Great family run restaurant. You can feel the love they have for family in the atmosphere. Great food, great service. Very friendly. Highly recommend both dine-in and take-out.

The best pizza around. The slices are bigger than my head!

I grew up in Spotswood and I used to come here when I went to the high school. I came with my family and it was a nice nostalgic experience. I had the lobster ravioli Montese which was on special. It had a delicious, rich creamy pink sauce with broccoli, asparagus, and tomatoes. It was delicious! Very filling, too. It's nice to see neighborhood restaurants succeeding.

Everything was excellent from start to finish. The cheesesteak, pizza & calamari were delicious and even the fountain drinks were nice and strong. The waitress was courteous and thorough. We had a good time.

This restaurant has excellent food. The owners are great people and provided me with excellent service. Would recommend to anyone I know if you are looking for a fully satisfied meal.
