3 /5 Lux: My culinary quest led me to San Gennaro on Arthur Avenue, which is a charming, small spot in the heart of the Bronxs Little Italy—a great location for a weekend brunch or afternoon espresso.
Unfortunately, my experience with both the quality of the food quality and service was sadly disappointing.
For appetizers, I ordered the Burrata and Calamari Fritti, (both were very nice)followed by the server-recommended main, the Paccheri Genovese. Despite only one other table being seated, the main course took approximately 30 minutes to arrive and was delivered at roughly room temperature. While the meat in the dish was well-cooked, the accompanying sauce lacked any distinct flavor to activate the dish.
Even granting grace that this may have been an off day for the staff, the combination of the significant wait time, the lukewarm food, and the overall poor service prevents me from recommending this restaurant.
