The place is a really good date spot. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. My friend and I came here without a reservation because we were craving Italian and this was the best rated place in the area. We ordered the Tonnarelli alla Capricciosa and Fettucine alla Ghiotta. Both were amazing. For wine, we got the Chianti and Zinfandel -- don't remember which Zinfandel, but it was a bit spicy. Overall, a great experience. It's quiet enough to actually carry on a conversation and the tables weren't so close to each... read more

Awesome food they have here! The staff is always smiling which is a big plus and the place looks very classy even though this place is so affordable!

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

Oh so cute. This place is a perfect spot for a flavourful 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. It was a perfect little night, at a perfect little restaurant.

This is my most favorite restaurant in Glendale. I love the ambiance and love the food! Staff is pretty good. Its never get crowded and you can enjoy your company and live classic guitar music.. I highly suggest this place, if you want to relax and enjoy an Italian style ambiance with good food.

It was great.. – It was great to see more and more people are returning to this wonderful restaurant,, With some familiar and talented faces in the kitchen and the dining room led bu the committed interest of a new owner. Gennaro's is well on its way yo regaining the level of a dining experience that made it "THE" place to be. Good Italian food and excellent fish options. well prepared, make it for a great dinner.

Terrible service! And from the new owner!!! – My husband and I have been here several times before and the food is good. We decided to go there tonight for a Valentine's dinner because it's nice and we also had a restaurantcom certificate to boot. However, they wouldn't honor the certificate because they had a 'special' menu. After paying, we spoke with the manager/owner. Apparently, he is a new owner--escrow just closed three days ago--and he's changed things. His 'special' menu was discounted, which is why he couldn't take... read more

good luck – This is by far the best Italian dining experience in Glendale. My girlfriend has been several times, but we ate there this past week for my first time and I was more than impressed! The ambiance of Gennaro's takes you back to a restaurant setting that belongs in Goodfellows... low light, cozy, family-style Italian-white-tablecloth seating and decor abound. The place buzzes with the murmur of casual conversation, mixed with animated banter and the satisfied sounds of satiated customers. We started off with the Fre... read more
