Gennaro's Restaurant

Pulling aside the curtains

We are a BYO located on State Road 206 just north of Downtown Princeton, NJ.

Our specialties include Italian and Mediterranean cuisine with impeccable attention to detail.

At Gennaro's, our fresh approach to casual fine dinning results in a warm, inviting atmosphere- absent of stiff upper lips and unnecessary fills. Instead we focus our time and energy into the quality of our products and our relationships with our patrons.

From an intimate dinner with your companion or a wonderful meal shared with a group of friends, those who patron our restaurant leave more than with satisfied appetites. They are familiar faces that return week after week and provide a "home away from home" feeling when you enter.

We look forward to sharing future meals and memories-for those we have yet to meet and those we have grown to love.
