Tapas Restaurants near Belleville, NJ

“I was happy to give this new ghost kitchen a try. The concept of the restaurant is it's mainly a delivery spot with an option to pick up and take out. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and saw the area where you could go to the screen and order or order ahead and scan, and the locker will pop open or order through one of the delivery places like Uber eats. I ordered a bunch of things, including the chicken platter and the chicken dumplings. Everything was done in about 15 minutes. I dug in when I got home. Everything looked tasty! My favorite dishes were the loaded fries and the chicken dumplings. I really enjoyed this unique experience.“

“Love the delicious food 🥘“

“Super nice. We have fun! Good food“

“The pork chop was succulent and had the most amazing spice combination. The barbacoa was the best I have ever had. Not a fan of the mezcal, but I gave it a try. Other more common drinks looked great with a good pour. Good vibe and open late with a super friendly staff!“

“Excellent Thanksgiving Dinner! Excellent Serice by Issac. Terrific Food. Highly Recommend“

“I have been to Bistro Taino several times including for a special birthday dinner and it never disappoints. Tonight I went with some coworkers and as always everything was so good. We shared the crabmeat empanadas and each had the bifongo as entrees with chicken, steak, and seafood. We also shared the coconut tembleque for dessert. Special shout out to our server, Arianni, she was amazing! Friendly, attentive, and personable. Great service, food and ambiance, can’t ask for more. Thank you Bistro Taino for always making it a great experience.“

“Love their food. Everything I've had there is so tasty. I'm disappointed that they changed their fried potatoes. They are more like a bag of chips now, otherwise no complaints.“

“Food was surprisingly good. Had the sliders and the prosciutte, mozzarella, bread appetizers along with prosecco.

Service however is just ok to slow. They brought out the dishes but forgot platters. They also never came back for the check. We had to find someone to give us the check.“

“Incredible opportunity to listen to fantastic music!“

“We've been meaning to to try so many of the new restaurants in the area. We finally got here for a late lunch today. Not surprisingly on a Thursday at 2PM and snowing, we had the place to ourselves. It was fortunate because the woman who took care of us explained everything to us in detail. I wasn't familiar with the Kurobuta pork. Apparently it's known as the, "Kobe beef of pork." All their pork come from Berkshire pigs. They come from a farm in Jersey. I'm guessing North Jersey. (Lot's of cool info if you Google them) Cooking is done using White charcoal which is used in traditional Japanese cooking. We started with the crispy cauliflower. It had crispy shallots & tahini vinegarette on them. They were delicious! Then the Shanghai bao. Filling was pork. (naturally) So delicious and juicy! When you slice them in half watch for the juice to squirt! We ordered six skewers. Two with pork jowel (cheek) Two regular pork and two fish. Again, delicious. i also had a bowl of spicy miso ramen. Our server explained how the broth is simmered for eight hours with pig bones and marrow. I could tell as the broth was very rich! That was it for us. We were both very full and i even took half of my ramen. We can't wait to return and bring friends! Highly recommend! ✌️“

“Burgers were great! Service was great!“

“Delicious food, the tostitos were amazing! Friendly service and beautiful decor. Feels like you're in Miami Beach.

Vegetarian options: Only about 3 vegie dishes, but I'm sure if you ask they can make accomodations“

“I still rave about the garlic shrimp, pallella and sangria even in Nashville!“

“My friend and I just happened to have stumbled upon this place while visiting a nearby rehab & we completely fell in love with it. The man who served us was super friendly, the overall vibe and decor of the place was so inviting & charming and most importantly, the food was delicious!! I cannot wait to go back there!“

“This is hands-down my favorite wine bar in the city. The vibe is always spot-on and the staff is super friendly. I went for brunch this morning and it was the perfect start to the day. The wagyu sliders were juicy and flavorful, and the shakshuka had just the right kick. Everything hit the spot. Much more than your neighborhood wine bar!“

“Literally a hidden family-owned gem. Was killing time around Newark Airport before a long international flight and went in with zero expectations, met wonderful people, the food was delicious, authentic made of great quality ingredients, will definitely be back.“

“I am a regular customer and I must say the food is always consistent the love and dedication that chef put each day is remarkable. The price is reasonable and the server is amazing and professional . Thank you chef for all the amazing meal you make for me and my son .“

“small ramen with big flavors. I enjoyed everything from the chill atmosphere to amazing food. the blend of Peruvian cuisine with traditional Japanese dishes is a match made in foodie heaven. I had the double fried wings and sloppy joe bao bun for a starter and each dish was better than the last. the wings were super crispy yet tender inside and the sloppy joe bao buns were a trip down memory lane. the sloppy brought me back to my childhood eating at a friend's house. for my ramen I had the tonkatu. their pork broth was hearty and tasteful and reminded me of my first bowl of real ramen. I highly recommend going there and finding out on your own...“

“Can I just say WOW!!!! Been waiting to come here for quite some time, and it far surpassed every expectation I had!! Staff was lovely! Creative, DELICIOUS appetizers... We tried several, and seriously each one was SOOO GOOD!!! I'm a huge fan of Detroit style pizza, and it was cooked to perfection! Dessert was absolutely phenomenal as well! One of the best meals I've had in some time, from start to finish! They even had live music upstairs, which was such a nice surprise! Can't wait for our next trip back!!! Thank you for a wonderful evening!“

“Incredible eccentric food. Great cocktail spot.“

“Lunch service was nice. However my brother ordered a Paella and there was hardly any rice in it. Given the fact the waiter insisted it would feed 3 I'm glad he ordered his solo cause it was barely enough for him. I ordered a chicken breast and chorizo lunch special. It was good. Aside from the spicy flavors it was great. The service was fantastic. It's no wonder they've been around for a long time. My brother recommended this place since he's been coming here a long time. I'm definitely opened to give it another try.“

“The fig and prosciutto pizza was so delicious! This is a must try 🤌🏽“

“was just awesome. staff great. a little dark in lighting in spots, but if company is great who cares“

“We had a really good time. Very cozy, awesome service and the live Flamenco really made it a special night.“

“This past August, I had my daughter’s bridal shower at Sidebar. I made all my arrangements with Danny. It was a pleasure to work with him. Everything turned out great. The food was delicious, the drinks were great, the waiters and waitresses were very accommodating. Everyone had a great time. Don’t hesitate to have an event here!“

“Great wine different flights to sample. You can even buy bottles“

“great food and vibe. BUT they are cheap with condiments. charges 2 bucks for extra syrup for the chicken and waffles“

“Food was amazing and service was on point !! Delicious 🤤“

“In a world where chaos and mediocrity too often prevail, it is a rare and invigorating experience to encounter a pizzeria that stands as a beacon of order and excellence.

The decor is warm and unpretentious, the lighting soft yet deliberate—a space that invites you to sit, to breathe, to reconnect. It is not ostentatious, nor is it neglectful; it strikes that rare chord of intentional simplicity that calms the spirit and focuses the mind. Here, the act of eating transcends mere consumption and becomes a shared ritual, a moment of communion in an age too often defined by isolation

The staff, too, embody virtues that resonate deeply. They are attentive without hovering, competent without arrogance—each interaction a small but meaningful demonstration of responsibility and care.

This is no trivial thing; it reflects a commitment to the dignity of the individual, a principle that ripples outward from the kitchen to the plate.

And then there is the price—fair, reasonable, and reflective of the quality bestowed upon you. It is not a gouging demand, nor a cheap shortcut, but an honest exchange that honors both the effort of those who create and the patronage of those who partake. In a culture where value is often distorted by greed or undervalued by apathy, this pizzeria stands firm in its integrity, offering a meal that satisfies both body and soul without exploiting either, or compromising much of anything.

In sum, this pizzeria is more than a place to eat—it is a humble archetype of what humanity can achieve when we strive for excellence with purpose and pride. It is a sanctuary where the chaos of the everyday is held at bay, where the simple act of breaking bread becomes a celebration of life’s possibilities. I recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone who seeks not just a good pizza, but a taste of the transcendent in the ordinary.

While it is excellent, excellence is a virtue that must be maintained, I think this team is up for the task.

All in all Comet Pizza is my favorite thing since Russell Crowe screamed 'Are you not entertained?!' in the hit motion picture Gladiator back in 2000. I’d fight a tiger in the arena for their pepperoni pie.

It’s pretty good! Definitely will come back!!!“

“The Food is Wonderful!
The atmosphere is intimate, but Great Vibes. (The venue has 2 levels; downstairs dining area and upstairs lounge area.)
They offer Hookah as well.
There is room for improvement however, as some of the staff in the dining area, don't speak English well, so they require assistance from other staff members when taking an order.
Wouldn't hurt if Drinks were a pinch stronger as well.
Overall, I enjoy myself everytime I visit.“

“Ordered multiple tapas plates. Everything was delicious! And the sangria is the best!“

“Josh the bartender is amazing! He is a master mixologist and is very knowledgeable not only in drinks, but the history behind them as well. Who would've thought we'd get a history lesson served alongside our drinks?

If mixed drinks aren't your thing, Josh will still pour your beer or wine with a smile. If you'd rather enjoy the company of your companions, he'll let you be. He takes cues from his guests and will entertain you or allow you to savor your drinks in a quieter setting.

Josh is a true gem and his talents could easily be enjoyed in upscale, swanky bars in NYC. If you're considering coming here, even if you're staying elsewhere, call the hotel first and make sure he's working. You won't be disappointed.“

“Great staff , cleaning service Amazing Front desk just fast and friendly , I’ll be back every time I can Thanks Y’all“

“super small place oy about 6 tables plus a few bar seats. food is super expensive but we had Erin as our server and she was absolutely wonderful. can't say enough nice things about her. super friendly and very attentive to our needs. she made it a wonderful experience. food was not great, a little bit greasy and very overpriced. there's literally about 4 choices on the entire menu. Reuben sandwich with fries ($15) chicken tenders with fries($13) bowl of mac and cheese ($12) chicken wings (6 for $8) we weren't going to eat here but it is inside the hotel and we didn't want to drive anymore after a long road trip to get to the hotel. if it wasn't for Erin's awesome service then we would have walked out.“

“Good morning, very good place, serious and respectful staff, good dive, good prices, good music, but I suggest as a way of improvement, and as constructive criticism, that you please change the floor of the court, since your shoes stick when They are dancing and could cause a knee injury to one of their clients. I say this because several people who were there agreed on the same thing about the dance floor. Thank you“

“We recently held a family reunion at El Mesón Español, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, taking the time to explain the menu and answer all of our questions. The food was outstanding—every dish was cooked to perfection. We especially enjoyed the paella, oxtail, veal, and ribs—each one full of rich, authentic. Highly recommended!“

“excellent service very good place to share“

“What is it like to be in Manhattan's only Orient Express-themed bar? When I came here on a late Friday night, the place was fairly crowded. The main room is narrow, somewhat resembling a train car. I ordered two drinks: their "Hemmingway" and their "Not an Espresso Martini". I liked both of them. Overall it's a nice, upscale cocktail bar.“

“👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥂🥂🥂🥂👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“we appreciate p great place to eat“

“Great spot to eat at food amazing workers are so friendly and the owner was awesome definitely will be back for sure“

“Great service, excellent cuisine.“

“My husband raved about this restaurant. He hadn't been in 15 years, so when we came back to visit family in New Jersey, we had to stop. We live in Ohio and rarely get to eat authentic El Salvadoran cuisine. This was my first time having it and it was by far the very BEST meal I've ever had. We ordered the churrassco steak, plantains, maduros (sweet plaintains), rice & beans, guacamole, yuca and the famous pupusas. The service was Impeccable and the food was delicious!! Everything was so fresh & flavorful. Horchata, chan & limonada drinks. We skipped photos, but presentation was excellent. We dug right in. I highly encourage everyone to put this local gem on your list of places to try“

“Ginger chili wings are great. Pretty spicy with some sweetness. They only offer one type of wing and this is it. I can’t blame them for keeping it simple if what they got is great. On a separate note…Ordering is odd… no register. Just scan a QR code and wait… Tip is automatically included on bill and I don’t see a way to edit that. Good wings is all I really care about though.“
