About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Good for groups
Neighborhood gem

Now celebrating its 55th year, Nero's Grille continues to be one of north-Jersey's most popular dining scenes. We combine the highest quality, freshest ingredients with a comfortable, familiar atmosphere and service that makes you feel like one of the family. Nero's has become the area's place to see and be seen. Three separate dining rooms, and outdoor patio dining as climate permits, provide a warm, unpretentious intimacy in which to enjoy our high-quality, moderately-priced American and Italian fare, while the large bar area buzzes with the energy of friends gathering over a favorite martini or a glass of wine from Nero's award-winning list. Private rooms are also available, and our banquet staff is noted for making special events 'extra special.' After four decades, the entire Nero's family continues to take enormous pride in offering our guests, new and old, a gracious welcome, a terrific meal, and our sincere appreciation.

The food was good except for the lobster roll which was "rubbery" and tasteless and not enjoyable.

Always an inventive menu with weekly specials (tuna nachos, avocado topped salmon this week were both amazing). Always nicely presented by their group of amiable servers, and always overseen by the omnipresent hostess Jeannine. Nero’s never disappoints.
