Food was delicious and menu was very creative. Everyone in our group loved their meals. Service was prompt and very friendly.

This place smacks in the best possible way. Servers are always super friendly and attentive. I have been here multiple times and get something different every time. It's all so good always. Olive Garden should be ashamed to call their food Italian compared to this place. read more

So good! Came here with a larger group for a special occasion. The service was great and they accommodated our large group so well, despite in being a pretty small spot. Everything was truly so delicious and the portion sizes were very generous. I had the rigatoni vodka and they let me swap out the rigatoni for angel hair pasta. Also started with a Caesar salad, which was basic but very satisfying and the perfect size for a starter. Such a great Italian spot, thanks for a great experience for our family! read more

The food is nice & the place is nice too! the workers are friendly to & the price for the food is ok

Great service & great food. The salmon is my favorite. Get the gelato!! Perfect spot for date night or a celebration

Gennaro's is our go-to-restaurant for all our favorite food! The staff is great. The service is awesome and the food is the best.

Food is consistently delicious! Staff are all very friendly. Prices are reasonable. Nice atmosphere. And it's a BYOB so no bar bill

Needed to meet someone at a place convenient to both of us coming from different directions and chose this restaurant. It's on a busy road in a nondescript strip shopping plaza but once you're inside it's all forgotten. Nothing fancy , but friendly service and really decent food. For my main I had veal Milanese and it was perfectly cooked - crispy outside , tender inside and not over salted or seasoned. read more

UPDATE: This is a very nice, chef owned, Italian restaurant. We've been eating there, a couple of times a month, for years. They recently re-decorated the dining room and added all new furniture. Great menu, excellent food. Also, it's BYOB. Please be sure to make a reservation. It can be crowded almost every night. They no longer have the Thursday night special. read more

Went to this restaurant for the first time, last night. We'd made a reservation and that was good since the place was full; impressive for a Wednesday. The place is lovely and well laid out. It's clean and refreshing. I ordered spaghetti carbonara and my husband had spaghetti and meatballs. Both were delicious although the carbonara was a little too thick with cheese. We were seated by one person, our order taken by a second and food delivered by a third. I'm sorry not to have gotten names because the second person, who, also took our money, gave slightly spotty service. We liked the restaurant and will probably be back. Be aware, they prefer cash, or debit cards. read more

Phenomenal! The food, Danielle, the food, soooo good. Homemade pasta. Great desserts, great appetizers.

There isn't a lot of above-average food in the area, so imagine my delight when I found this outstanding spot yesterday. The restaurant was clean with a great atmosphere, service was friendly, polite, and prompt, and the food was fresh and superb. We had the mussels as an appetizer, Chicken Parm and Salmon as an entree, and cup of soup - all were easily the best we have had in the Brandywine area. A+, will visit again! read more

A friend of mine recommended this spot and I'm so glad she did. I would have drove past this spot. Parking is available in the strip mall. Go early as this place fills up as locals know there is good food in this restaurant. Service was good. We all enjoyed our food. We will definitely be back. read more

We used to go to Gennaro's weekly when it first opened and we lived close by. We have since moved and it fell off our radar. We chose to go back when meeting friends for dinner. What was I thinking when we stopped going?? The decor was cozy and welcoming. I felt like I was back home. We went on a packed Friday night and were seated right at our reservation time. Our server was pleasant and attentive. We were a fairly large group so it took a minute to decide what we were getting. Our multiple appetizers included the fried calamari, sautéed calamari, and the burrata. They were all good but I am still dreaming about the sautéed calamari. It was tender and melt in your mouth. Do not miss this appetizer when you go. Our main courses included the lasagna, gnocchi, the special risotto, cannelloni, and chicken parmesan. We all enjoyed our meals very much so much so that only one picture was taken. The chicken parmesan was amazing. It was so much that I had it for dinner that night plus 2 additional lunches. We were too full for dessert but will definitely be back. read more

4/8/2023 We had a family gathering at Gennaro's. The person who arranged it kept mentioning how inexpensive it was- but I didn't find that to be the case. I think 18-21 dollars for a pasta meal without a salad isn't really a bargain. The restaurant is located in Aston and there is ample parking in the front and rear of the restaurant. To exit the restaurant there is a traffic light too which makes it easier. Unfortunately for me to get here I have to take I 95 and I didn't realize how close it is to the Commodore Barry Bridge. Very stressful drive plus we were at a stand still on the blue route- quite literally. . . I thought the food was a very high quality and the service was attentive but not intrusive. For appetizers we had the pollenta, I highly recommend, mussels in white broth- so delicious, and I ordered the pork, beef veal meatballs that were served in a rich sauce with a dollop of ricotta cheese. Delicious. Many at the table ordered the lasagna and that looked delicious too. We had the anti pasta with our meal as an add on. They have great desserts! I opted for the homemade chocolate mousse and it was delicious! If you love almonds try the almond cake- it had an almond brittle on top. I tried the cannelloni that is like a manicotti filled with beef, sausage, and chicken it's all blended into one and it was very tasty wrapped like a manicotti. The pasta was obviously home made and nice and thin. read more

Love all their dinners - go at least once a month. I like how they switch up their menus for fall and summer. Always crowded, esp on Thursday nights. read more

We just had our granddaughter's Baptism party here for 30 people. It's byob which we really like. The food was delicious! We had 4 choices: eggplant Parmesan, raviolis with or without meatballs, salmon, and chicken Parmesan. Everyone loooved the food! For large parties, they include with the entree a salad and gelato. The price was affordable, the food was delicious, and Dana our server was very accommodating and professional. I booked with Tina who was also very helpful and easy to work with. I highly recommend Gennaros either for a large party or a more intimate dinner! read more

Food was amazing! We keep going back again and again. Portions are great and the waitstaff is super friendly

New Years Eve 2024, had a 5pm reservation and 5 were seated right on time. 3 of our party were in from Florida and had never been, but we were confident they would enjoy their meal. Out server, Julianna, was excellent, personable and patient. Everything was excellent and we went home very satisfied. Nice relaxing dinner, as usual. read more

We really like this place. We go during the week so the crowds are not an issue. Service is really friendly and the food is delicious. BYOB... no corking fee. read more

When you enter the restaurant the intoxicating smells of the food cooking just make you hungry. Our server, Tina, was especially helpful and made great recommendations. The sausage fettuccine was incredibly good as were all the dinners we had: striped bass, shrimp, meatballs. The beet salad rivaled Hells Kitchen in Las Vegas!And then dessert came: the tiramisu was the BEST I have EVER had and I have dined all over the world!!! I could keep going about this restaurant. What a gem in Aston, PA! read more

I've been to this place many times over the last few years and this place is consistently delicious. Last night I ordered the meatball appetizer which was delicious. The meatballs were so tender and reminded me of a true homemade meatball. BVP blend which I love and not all beef. Our company got the fried calamari and mussels marinara which were both cooked perfectly and the marinara was delicious and fresh. I always order the rigatoni vodka, but substitute for angel hair which is never a problem. It comes with two delicious chicken cutlets on top which are always cooked to perfection and never chewy or dry. My wife always gets the pappardelle and loves it. The pappardelle noodles are HUGE. The gnocchi was also delicious and you can tell they are homemade. Their homemade gravy is so rich and delicious. Not too tart, not too sweet! Service is always so friendly and attentive. This place is definitely a hidden gem. read more

Very small but good is really good. Handmade pasta as well. Will need a reservation on the weekend

Obviously a very popular place. Even on a weekday, the place was packed. This was my first time there, and I felt the food was just ok. The polenta app was too salty. The fettuccine with sausage had big slices of sausage that through me off. No sauce, so kind of bland though. My wife liked her gnocchi, and service was good. read more

Great Italian food and service was amazing. It's a byob also with no corking charge. They have take out also.

We love EVERYTHING about this place! It is byob with no cork fee, the service is always fantastic and the food is never less than amazing! My current favorite is the roasted corn filled pasta. The place is small and frequently I have seen everyone in the place join in for happy birthday and congratulations to total strangers. I love this place and will be back time and time again! read more

Amazing food. Went for a special evening with 3 picky kids and they loved it as well. Recommend the eggplant parm and the chicken parm. Apps were nice sizes. Atmosphere was very nice. read more

The food is delicious and is served piping Hot!! It's BYOB, which I always forget. It's a great date night spot or dinner with the girls.

A Italian "gem" hidden in Aston PA! Food, service and ambiance where wonderful. We ordered 5 different entrees and everyone loved their meal. Topped it off with the best cappuccino and cannoli within 25 miles. read more

Ariano's has been my go-to Italian restaurant in the area for years but Gennaro's might have bumped them outta my top spot! I ordered the Rigatoni Vodka with chicken cutlet and the Tiramisu for dessert and I'm already looking forward to my leftovers. The dishes came out quickly and were hot and delicious from the first bite to last. I had to stop myself from eating the whole plate so I'd have leftovers. I can't wait to bring my GF and parents back! read more

This is one of our favorite restaurants. Veal Romana and the Halibut Special is outstanding. Start with the polenta appetizer it won't disappoint. read more

I am ever-so disappointed with Gennaro's - and just went there again for the first time in years as it never is good. Well, I was right - my cappucino came out with curdled milk. Ick. Fortunately the very kind server, Wendy, brought me another one and took it off the bill. My close friend eats here ALL the time and loves it, but I just don;t get it. It's never "quite right" for me here. Friendly service, old-school digs (they need new carpeting) and a menu to match. People/Locals love it. Maybe New Yawk has spoiled me for Delco-Italian. read more

Recently dined at Ristorante Gennaro and our experience was very pleasant. A very small and intimate setting with homemade Italian food to die for. Limited menu means their chef can concentrate on what he does best! Our server was pleasant, attentive and very knowledgeable of the menu and the two available specials. A must try place if you never been and a place that will guarantee you'll return! read more

If you are looking for an amazing local BYOB... this is the one. Small menu with weekly specials not listed. My wife and I go here on the regular. Love it!! read more

I went here to celebrate my graduation from graduate school. I really wanted to have a nice experience but was quite disappointed and will not return. I phoned ahead and made a reservation. They were still setting up when we arrived, which was okay, except they were preoccupied and we sat there for about 10 minutes before anyone gave us a menu. My aunt got up and passed out our menus. Our server opened up all three bottles of our wine but we really didn't want all bottles opened at once. We only received one basket of bread, even though we were a party of 7. I asked for more, waited, reminded her and asked for 2 baskets, and got one. At the end of our meal, we submitted payment and waited and waited some more. It was a Wednesday night and we all had a long drive back and had to work in the morning. After a good while, I approached the counter and found our check presenter on just sitting there. I was disappointed and no one tried to apologize. Because this was a special day and I had my cap and gown on, I expected them to give at least adequate service. I will not return and will discourage others from coming. read more

Excellent Italian food and good service. Small venue so need reservations at busy times
