First time visiting this restaurant and was a delightful experience. The host outside was so attentive and explained to us the menu, also my daughter had question and he was nice with her and invited us to get into the restaurant. Our visited was February 13th around noon and the place was not full. We tried cheese pizza, lasagna and spaghetti bolognese. Great attention, super fast and delicious meals. Price accordingly to the place and location. Service was great also. Recommend and definitely will come back when visit New York City again.

My sister and I always come back to this amazing restaurant. We use to have the prosciutto pizza, our favorite, but last time we got the carbonara and we loved it. The cocktails were pretty tasty, specially the godfather! The ambience is comfy and the staff is really friendly and helpful. Mateo made the experience way better with his attention. We were so satisfied. Definitely will come back as we do.

A GREAT spot in Little Italy! The food was so good, so fresh! The pasta is home made.
Service was ten out of ten. Very grateful to Douglas the GM who checked on us consistently. And our server Victor was so nice and answered all our questions, thank you so much!
You gotta get the chicken parm and the vodka sauce. The mint julep was also super refreshing

Dining at Da Gennaro was absolutely fantastic. From the moment you walk in, you feel the true Italian charm. Warm, welcoming, and full of character.

A special shoutout to Douglas, who is incredibly professional, attentive, and genuinely cares about every guest’s experience. His leadership clearly shows in the outstanding service and smooth operation of the restaurant. ¡El mejor! Muchas gracias Douglas.

Huge thanks as well to Nino, our server, who was amazing. Friendly, knowledgeable, and always attentive, she made us feel comfortable and truly well taken care of. Her recommendations were spot on and elevated our entire dining experience. So kind!

The food was exceptional, made with top-quality ingredients.

Highly recommended and definitely a place I’ll be coming back to.

I ordered the market-price lobster and shrimp pasta, a glass of Riesling, and coffee with cream and sugar. The lobster was $54.

Unfortunately, the dish fell completely flat. The pasta, lobster tail, and red sauce were bland and lifeless—no depth, no balance, no soul. Nothing on the plate popped. Nothing tasted fresh. There wasn’t a single note of brightness or seasoning to bring it together.

There was one exception: the lobster claw. It was exquisite—the best bite of the meal and, honestly, the highlight of my day. Sadly, it was the only bite I enjoyed.

Beyond the food, there were small but noticeable issues. The table was shaky, and the silverware and water glass lid were placed upside down directly on a dirty table instead of on a clean napkin—an avoidable detail that matters at this price point.

That said, the servers were excellent. Attentive, efficient, well-presented, and genuinely focused on providing good service—they absolutely delivered.

I tipped 20% for the service, but I know I won’t be returning.

I had an absolutely incredible experience at this Italian restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, welcoming, and genuinely inviting. You can tell this place is run with care.

Doug, the general manager, sets the tone for the entire restaurant. He was attentive, professional, and clearly passionate about making sure every guest had a memorable experience. It’s rare to see leadership that’s both hands-on and sincerely invested in hospitality and it shows in every detail.

Our waiter, Aldrin, was outstanding. Friendly without being overbearing, knowledgeable about the menu, and spot-on with his recommendations. He made us feel like valued guests rather than just another table. Timing was perfect, service was smooth, and he checked in just enough to make sure everything was flawless.

As for the food phenomenal. Every dish tasted fresh, authentic, and thoughtfully prepared. The pasta was cooked perfectly, the sauces were rich and balanced, and the flavors felt like they came straight from Italy. Even the small touches the bread, the presentation, the pacing of the courses were done beautifully.

This wasn’t just dinner; it was an experience. Between Doug’s leadership, Aldrin’s exceptional service, and the incredible food, this restaurant absolutely exceeded expectations. I can’t wait to come back.

Victor served us and was so very amazing! He was consistently so kind and checked up on us to make sure we were taken care of and answered all our questions. The chicken fettuccine Alfredo is the best I’ve ever had and I’m extremely picky about the pasta I try. I’ll definitely be back for more everytime I’m in the city!

Great place to have good Italian food. Located in Little Italy. I had freshly made Gnocchi with pesto. It was delicious and the consistency and flavor was perfect. I ordered bread to wipe the plate clean the sauce was so good. I also hade the Caprese salad. The tomatoes were not as flavorful as I would have liked but it is winter time and out of season. I believe that was the only thing that made the salad a 4 star would have been better with Campari tomatoes. The lasagna was very well constructed. The noodles were al dente and not over cooked or dry, the sauce was flavorful and robust. The tiramisu was delicious the mascarpone wasn’t over sweetened and the lady fingers weren’t too soggy, as I have found with many other places. The Atmosphere was delightful and the decorum was divine. The service was very good as the place was packed out and could hardly walk between the tables. The restrooms were clean and well stocked.

Great atmosphere and impeccable service! Pasta was great, pizza was just okay, but I feel like the antipasto and grilled octopus portion size could’ve been bigger for the price. I wanted a little more. The portions for the apps were a little on the smaller size.

Nina was an amazing server, extremely friendly and very warm. The food was very fresh, tasty, hot from start to finish; I could tell it was fresh out the pan! I couldn’t speak highly of the manager Douglas!!!! He greeted us as soon as we sat down, helped us with understanding the menu and even helped me modify my pasta choices to satisfy my liking. We got a tour of the restaurant to see how they made the pasta and the transition to the kitchen and arrival to our plates in under one hour of being made. I am highly pleased and overwhelmed with satisfaction! My tummy and taste buds are happy. I’m heading back to Atlanta with a taste of Italy in NYC 🙂
