Oh so cute.

This place is a perfect spot for a flavorful romantic dinner.

The calamari appetizer was the best I have ever had. I could just sit there and keep eating that alone. But I did move on. Everything was fresh and authentic. I felt like I was back in Italy. They also had a fantastic selection of wine to complement our dinner.

My friend took me here on Saturday night for my birthday dinner and everything was AMAZING. From the romantic setting, impeccable service to the delicious food and drink, everything was perfect. The restaurant itself is quite small, but the seating is well laid out so it doesn't feel cramped. Both the host and our server were great. Our server was friendly, attentive and helpful. He was knowledgeable about the menu and able to suggest dishes and recommend his favorites.

DELICIOUS dishes we ate:
- Bruschetta (from the specials menu)
- Lasagna (from the specials menu)
- Tonnarelli alla Capricciosa (Housemade pasta in light cream sauce with porcini mushrooms and Italian sausage)

We washed down our dinner with a bottle of their featured Italian white wine which complimented the dinner nicely.

I find that I rarely eat Italian food now that I live in Glendale (as opposed to growing up in NJ) but Gennaro's RIstorante will certainly change that!

It was a perfect little night, at a perfect little restaurant.

I really enjoyed Gennaro's the last time I came, and I was wandering around the area so decided to come back. I got the special pasta dish of the day - seafood with spaghetti. The flavor was good and the spaghetti was cooked al dente. I wasn't impressed with the seafood though. The shrimp was overcooked and the fish and mussels were also slightly overcooked. The calamari had good texture.

I would still come back to get the spinach gnocchi or maybe try other things, and the service was still good and the ambiance cute

Great food and service in a nice atmosphere. Highly recommend.

AAAA++++

Great pasta and very welcoming atmosphere. I love their staff - they are both friendly and helpful.. I had a creamy seafood pasta and it was amaisingly good, best homemade pasta I had ever had. They also have HAPPY HOUR :)

Once again visited this place and had an amazing time.. Never loud public, candles and fresh flowers..Live piano music and EXCELLENT FOOD.. Angelo ( original chef for over 20 years is back :) cooked homemade ravioli with grilled salmon.. Great place to relax and have a great dinner.

Fabulous menu and top-notch service. This is a must-try if you enjoy great food and personal service. Their pastas are amazing, and the bread is always fresh and warm. The seafood dishes are excellent as well. If you can save room for dessert, they are definitely worth the splurge!
