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.

Ordered a caesear salad with chicken- I must say I liked the old way you used to serve it. This was very unappetizing, as well as clients salad with grilled salmon. Each dish was flat salad on one side chopped chicken on one side- I did not asked for a chopped salad - the chicken should have been in long strips. the salmon was also on one side of the plate. This is the 2nd. time this has occurred. First time spoke w manager and she agreed that the salad presentation was weird. Should be piled up, TOPPED with chicken or salmon. Please speak to chef again and have him get it correct. Thank you-

Nero’s was OK — not great but not too bad. We are former residents of Essex County who now live in CA and came to Nero’s with an old friend and we were satisfied with our experience but not particularly impressed.

Enjoyed our meal at Nero’s Grille. Our waiter, Jaden, was outstanding. The caramel apple bread pudding was amazing.
