fast service, but not great food – ive been here a few times for lunch and the food isnt great. they used to have grilled panini for under $9 at lunch which was great considering that its a sitdown restaurant with service, but i didnt see those options when i came here this week. the other day, i had the grilled tuna (~$16) which came grey and well-done (though i asked for rare) atop a pile of tasteless carrots and with a side of broccoli. some of my coworkers had the pastas (~$12) which they said was normal. the chicken cac... read more

Amazing Place – The food was cooked to perfection. The service was wonderful, and very personable. I was impressed with the amount of attention they gave us. I ordered a seafood pasta dish that was absolutely divine. I highly recommend this place.

Reeks of Awesomness – Was at Gente a little while back. Have only kind words to say about the place. It was a calm place with some of the great desserts around. Try the orange sorbet. Take friends there. It's a terrific place for groups to talk and eat a tasty meal.

Enjoyable Italian Feast – I was pleasantly surprised to find such authentic Italian fare outside of Little Italy. As a vegetarian, there were many different options to choose from although I would personally recommend the eggplant parm. Great place for a date or with a group of friends!

Great food & nice ambience – A group of freinds and I went to Gente and really enjoyed it. The service was good, the food was excellent, and the ambience was very nice. Its well suited for a romantic date, I think, but was also good fun with a group of friends. I highly recommend it if you like authentic Italian cuisine!

Very blah. – Went to Gente for dinner not too long ago. The decor was nice and comfortable. However, the food was decent but not worth talking about. My main problem with this place was the unprofessional service - a table of young women got the attention of the entire waitstaff while the rest of the restaurant was very painfully ignored.

Highly Recommended – GENTE Ristorante Italiano is an incredible Discover. 11 Wines by the glass a varied Assortment of beers and fabulous cocktails (like green apple martinis). The food is very authentic (I have been to Italy many times with my family.) one o our group was born in Italy and he said the lasagna was almost as good as his mothers ROSA

Great Italian – I recommend Gente to anyone looking for great pasta without breaking the bank. The staff is friendly and accomodating, and the desserts are very impressive. All in all, a great Italian experience.

Perfect holiday party! – Gente was the PERFECT place for our holiday office party. Jay (owner) is so easy to work with, completely flexible, and along with his staff can accomodate any of your needs. The intimate space is perfect for a private party because it enables you to have the whole restaurant to yourself. The food is great and the prices so reasonable...I can't imagine a better choice for a party!
