Every time I order delivery, they forget to include the drinks. I always remind them not to overlook the drinks, yet every single time, they still end up forgetting them. It's so frustrating!
My favorite vodka sauce and generous portions!! And they were very good about accomodating my gluten free diet without having a reaction! Soo good!
I ordered takeout from this restaurant, and the food was excellent. It was ready on time, and the staff were very friendly. My only concern was that the hot and cold items were packaged together, which made my salad slightly warm. However, I will definitely return. As for accessibility, there is a small strip mall entrance right from the parking lot. You can park right in front of the door with no steps to navigate.
Delicious food, wonderful staff, and an authentic experience. I can't emphasize enough how tasty the dishes are! I'm definitely coming back!
Flew in for a work trip this week and we decided to order Gencarelli's Pine Brook last minute through UberEats. I took these photos midway through the meal. Being a vegetarian, and without seeing clear labeling on their menu, I called the restaurant ahead of time to find out what was safe to order. The guy I chatted with (possibly the Manager, Walter? was amazing and went above and beyond to make sure he got me the right info for dishes, and communicated with the cook after we ordered to avoid any mix-ups. All of the food (cheese ravioli with parmesan, garlic sauteed spinach, beet salad, plain rolls was fresh and the quality was exceptional. Portions were large and I was able to eat on them for a couple days. The plain cheesecake was literally the best I've ever had in my life. I'm still dreaming about it and wish I could have it shipped to TX. I definitely recommend Gencarelli's Pine Brook for a delicious night out or even a relaxing night in. Can't wait for my next visit to NJ! Vegetarian options: Call and ask them if you're unsure. Everything I ordered was vegetarian, and they are very accommodating.
