Now celebrating its 40th 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.

A frequent lunch stop. Always good. Today we had an outside table (as requested) with no umbrella and the sun was strong. There were no tables left in the shade. Only downside.

As a longtime patron of Nero's, I enjoyed another delicious business dinner last evening. The service was friendly, attentive and courteous. I enjoyed the excellent Caesar salad and delicious chicken nero. The waitress and kitchen were most accommodating to my dinner partner's request for his entree to be made a certain way. Looking forward to returning soon.

My wife and I were pleasantly surprised by the menu diversity, good service and ambiance. I am coming to grips that a medium-level dinner for 2 is now (post-covid) over $100.

Great food. Very busy. Had to wait 40 minutes with reservation. Was 5 minutes away from walking out. If you take reservations, you should be able to provide the service. A small wait, under 15 minutes is acceptable but not 40. You're in business as many years as they are, you know how to pace your tables. Don't over book. Will be a while before we go back.

Dined at Nero's for a business dinner, outdoors. Very attractive setup for the outdoor dining. (Indoor dining is available) Excellent food. I recommend the Chicken Nero (prefer boneless); but, everything on the menu is delicious. Attentive, courteous service.
