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.

From appetizers to dessert, everything was delicious. This was our first time dining there and we will return! For appetizers we ordered the fresh clams, crab cake, and salmon poke. They were excellent. We ordered the Sunday Sauce, 12oz. Silicon and shrimp scampi for entrees. Everything was fresh and mouthwatering. We shared a huge piece of carrot cake for dessert. Phenomenal! We can’t wait to dine there again.

I got the rudest confirmation msg telling me we had 90 minutes to dine & to be prepared to vacate the table immediately! And then we were asked by our lovely waiter for our DESSERT order when our DINNER was served? Maybe we’d be full?!
