Da Gennaro

Da Gennaro is an Italian restaurant located in Little Italy, New York City. They are located on the corner of Mulberry and Hester Streets. The walls of the restaurant open up nicely to give the restaurant a nice open feel. The quality of the food was pretty good, but also pretty typical for the area.

Dress

Very casual

Cost

Entrees ranged in price from around $14 - $30. The salad and ravioli were ordered from the Chef's special menu, which was a bit pricier.

Service

The service was a bit slow. The restaurant was fairly busy, but we spent a lot of time waiting.

Items Ordered

Bread

Bread

The bread was served with a little dish of oil and garlic. It was quite tasty, and also fun to make your own garlic bread. Visitors could decide how much garlic to scoop from the bottom, and thus control how much garlic went on their garlic bread.

Da Gennaro Salad

Da Gennaro Salad

This was quite a good salad, although some of the greens were too large and difficult to eat. It contained a few pieces of delicious mango, and only a couple strawberry pieces. The dressing was a vinaigrette dressing, and went well with the slightly fruity salad. The salad could have used a bit more fruit, but was otherwise quite good.

Pollo Alla Cacciatora

Pollo Alla Cacciatora

This dish had some sauteed vegetables served with chicken, and some spaghetti. The star of the dish was the red sauce, which had just the right amount of sweetness. It went very well with the vegetables. The pieces of chicken were cut more like they belonged in a stir fry, and not a pasta dish.

Organic Whole Wheat Ravioli

Organic Whole Wheat Ravioli

This dish had six ravioli (that were fairly large) in a delicious pink sauce. The addition of tomato and basil to the filling was also tasty. The ravioli were quite good, but they were on the small side for $22.99.
