Timeless Italian favorites and a quaintly dated setting keep this nostalgic North End eatery firmly anchored in the past.

My family and I stumbled onto Gennaro’s last summer and loved it! So I brought out of town business associates to dinner here last night and it was excellent. The food, service and location could not have been better. While Hanover Street is exciting (and just a block away) this is an oasis of quiet, calm dinning where you can actually have a conversation without competing with the table next...

My wife and I dined at Gennaro's last night. For the money it was a good choice. Our entrees were good. I got the Jumbo Spinach/cheese ravioli my wife got the Rolled Stuffed Eggplant. What was disappointing was the $10 Cesar Salad that was mostly white salad with few greens ( I should have sent it back). We got a glass of Merlot, the glass was barely half full and the wine was pretty tasteless. Whenever possible my wife and I will split an appetizer and wine (here we saved $18 by sharing a salad and a glass of wine that weren't very good). The staff were very friendly, the location...

Tips about this business (3)

Parking

Unlike most of the North End's popular eateries, 5 North Square doesn't offer valet service. Your best bet is to look for parking in the financial district (try around Broad St.) and then walk about 10 minutes.

Where to Sit

If you're on a romantic date or celebrating a special occasion, try to reserve the famous table 30, a quiet little corner table that offers the best views in the house.

Know Before You Go

Don't be surprised if you end up doing a little stargazing. The restaurant is popular with visiting athletes, as well as the occasional celebrity.
