About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for business meals
  • Good for special occasions
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.

    Very nice place. Noise level is so high bc there are so many tables and you are sitting so close to everyone. Some prices are very high but that’s the economy and consumers have to pick it up.

    Had the special for lunch….. everything burned, including the roll. …sent back and very good when remade. …shouldn’t have to do that. Even the french fries were dried out and not hot. This is not the first time or I would’ve let it go. I thought maybe it was the chef’s day off, but it wasn’t. ……disappointed because I like to come to Nero‘s. It feels like a day out. It’s friendly and very pleasant. What’s with the chef?
