Gencarelli 's is one of those places where you walk in and you go whoa! Being on the side of a major highway you would never expect to find such a nice little Italian restaurant. The front is deceiving once you walk in you 'll see the dining room is nicely remodeled. After you sit they bring out the most amazingly soft and buttery bread, so good you 'll eat at least two baskets. I 've had a few different things on the menu and have enjoyed every single one. Most recently I had chicken breast with portobello mushroom and roasted red pepper in a balsamic sauce with a side of spaghetti. It was so good, the flavors mesh together so well. My husband had a chicken cutlet in a gravy with prosciutto...
Have lived in Parsippany for over 10 years and had only been here once 9 years ago until this past weekend. The food was fantastic. We were a big group so we ordered food and took it to someone's home. Even after taking it home it still tasted great. We had the Rice balls with Vodka Sauce, an order of Ravioli, a couple orders of penne vodka, 2 salads, a plain pizza, a margarita pizza and a chicken cutlet vodka sauce pie. Everything was great but I think the chicken cutlet vodka sauce pie was simply amazing. Looking forward to going back again.
In addition to their pizzas, they have a diverse menu with many Italian classics. I really enjoyed their carbonara, stuffed bowls, and lasagna. My partner has a gluten allergy and appreciates their gluten-free pasta, particularly the penne with vodka sauce.
Their chicken sandwiches and wraps are also a great choice for lunch or dinner. The food is fantastic, and the service is excellent, making it a great value considering the prices.
My husband and I drove all night (14 hour trip) from TN and quickly decided we must have Italian food if we were to be in NJ. This one was one of the first ones to come up in the recommended section so we went! Hands down the best we've ever had! Good thing I don't like her, I'd put them out of service on that one!

You know, when I moved to Philadelphia there are actually no good delis aside from the Jewish delis.
Delicious! Awesome food with good atmosphere.
