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.

Hosted a party of 6 on a busy night at holiday time. Hunter was our server and was simply outstanding, a total pro. Had varied entrees from steak to chicken to fish, all were exceptional. Table was a bit cramped but that's to be expected this time of year. A terrific surprise, had not been before. Already planning our return.

The halibut special was perfectly cooked and the honey/chili oil sauce was a superb blend of heat and sweet. Service was excellent. The dining room was a bit crowded. It seems that they squeezed a few extra tables in for the holidays. The noise level was extremely high and it was nearly impossible to carry on a conversation.(

Great food. Huge portions. Great prices. Great menu. Great service. The only negative is that the dining room is very loud. But everything else overrides that. Enjoy!

We’ve lived in the area for awhile and driven by Nero’s 200x, but never stopped in. Our mistake. Great atmosphere, server Crystal and hostess Jeanine’s warmth and kindness made all the difference. Nero’s is our new go to spot in the area!
