“a true Italian Mediterranean rarity”
GennaroItalian Mediterranean Restaurant has expanded twice into a full fledged destination on the upper west side. The final expansion reveals an elegant marble and mahogany bar with stool and booth dining and a more spacious, banquette-lined dining room while still revealing the perfect neighborhood trattoria character that's existed since September of 1996. "My customers bring their children and then the children grow up and bring their friends and their families" - says Gennaro, owing to the loyal patronage of regularly visiting individuals, friends, colleagues, and families. This is good, honest food, fairly priced. Be prepared to pay cash for your Stinco di Agnello(lamb shank braised in red wine sauce) or the fresh gnocchi with tomato, cream and basil. Classic authentic Italian food with quality ingredients and preparation that is hard to find anywhere in the city at these prices - a true Italian Mediterranean rarity. Gennaro...don't forget to bring your appetite and know that we do not accept credit or debit cards.
