Building=good. Location= not so much. If you haven't had much exposure to foods that haven't been "Americanized" and are not very open to new things, this may not be for you. However, if you like trying new things, do try it! Turns out, I'm not a super fan of quail, but I'm glad I tried it. I loved the lobster... More

My family and I dined at Gentile's to celebrate my graduation from law school. We had a reservation for 5, but were running late. The restaurant easily accommodated our request to move the reservation back to 5:45. Upon arriving, we were promptly seated and offered drinks. The service was impeccable all throughout the evening, and our waitress and the entire... More

First, the new location is probably in a rougher neighborhood than the old one! Be sure to park in the fenced lot right next to the building if possible. The interior was quite dark, we needed our purse lights to read the menu and the bill. The highlight of our meal was the calamari appetizer, tender and delish! Have to... More

This was our first trip to the new location. We loved the old location...even back to the days when it was To the Moon. We had reservations for 6:30 and got there just a few minutes late. We did call to make the hostess aware that we were running a little behind. The restaurant was only about a 1/4 full... More

I took my son to Gentile's for his 26th birthday. It was his first time going there and my 2nd. We both ordered specials which were both very good. My son has a good appetite and was not able to finish his meal. We both were able to home enough for lunch the next day. To this day, my son... More

On a recent visit to the new location, I could not have been more disappointed. I LOVED the old, quaint location....but since the move to a larger location....not sure what has happened. Granted, we went in for dinner at 9pm....but I still expected a wonderful meal! I had a risotto dish that came out more of a soup??? Maybe I... More

First the building is wonderful. Exposed brick, great place for an intimate dinner or to enjoy wonderfully creative food with good freinds. Seasonal menu with a great deal of innovation and variety.

We liked the old Gentiles and were looking forward to having a nice dinner with friends at the new location. I'll ignore the silly pretentiousness of the new site, it is what it is. We ordered a bottle of wine to share (only wine and beer are available.). The 50% good included the Greens Gentile from the appetizer menu (really... More

We fell in love with Gentile's when they were at the old location - adorable, very quaint brownstone, but way too small. We get that - for such a great restaurant, it definitely deserved more elbow room for the staff as well as the customers. I will say the new location on N. Geddes makes you wonder for a moment...
