Absolutely blown away by the experience we had at Lita.
My wife and I went here for our anniversary, did the 5-course chef’s table.
Food = Unbelievable.
Staff = Friendliest people in the world. Made the experience an 11 out of 10. Literally everyone from hostesses, chefs/servers, and the owners spent time with us.
Vibes = Unmatched.
Go here. Do the chef’s table. Have the best time.
We’re still smiling 24 hours later. Thank you for the perfect meal.

Good food and presentation. Nice service and attention to the guests. Pretty expensive.

First and foremost, this is not a restaurant. This is a bar with a cool open kitchen and overpriced bar food. The portions are tapas like and similar to what you’ll find in Spain and southern Portugal. I really wanted to love this place as I was getting tired of the same old Portuguese fair of Newark and Elizabeth and have been waiting for fresh blood to take over and give new life to New Jersey’s Portuguese cuisine. This spot made the attempt but unfortunately I feel sold out to the fedora wearing hipsters and rich wasps of the area. The food yes is and was traditional but none of it had soul or gave you an experience that the decor and price you think would give you. It’s ok and there’s nothing wrong with ok.
Ps : allot of people were hating on the paella it was actually one of the most authentic ones I’ve had in the states

Delicious food and cocktails. Love the vibes here and the staff is very friendly. Would prob only come back for drinks due to limited vegetarian food options. Got this chai brûlée espresso martini and the baked madeira dessert on a whim - 10/10 would recommend.

Lita is where you want to be! You just don’t know it yet.The Chef’s tasting menu with a trip around Iberia’s vineyards is a must. You will really see, hear, smell, and feel each dish. While paired with the perfect explanation of notes in your glass. The rotating staff seem to love what they do and it shows.Shout out to everyone behind the counter!! Truly one of my favorite dining experiences.Thank you Chef’s and thank you Lita!

Try the pastel de nata, ube cheesecake and skewer of the day

Outstanding experience all the way through. We initially had a reservation for two and their staff was able to accommodate four with a week's notice when friends wanted to join. The wait staff was friendly, informative and attentive. Drinks were delicious and timely. We got a paella to share with our table and ultimately had more food than we could eat. We'll definitely return!

Great Staff. Well seasoned dishes. The clams were a stand out
Such a cool vibe for drinks in the speakeasy before dinner. Crafted cocktails were delicious!

This place is everything they say it is. Top notch food in modern setting served by the most professional staff. If I could give them six stars I would.

A must go! We went for my husband’s birthday, we all got the prefix and the wine flights. It was an amazing experience.. and a huge plus is the makers of the speciality wine stopped by our table periodically to give us details about the wine making process. Absolutely exceptional service and experience!

We waited almost a year to have our company dinner there. Portions will leave you hungary, and the food tasted weired. Way overpriced for the portions and the quality of food. Be parpared to spend more than $150 per person for food I wouldn't eat for free. Service was good, and the atomsphere is fine. But the food was atrocious.

What a delicious meal! We sat at the bar and was able to eat a la carte off of the menu. Otherwise if you sat in the dining room, you are required to eat off of the price fixe menu. The special paella was to die for!! Yum
Everything is amazing. Everyone is welcoming.
