Italian Restaurants in Newark

“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.“

“I went at an unusual time, to late for lunch and to early for dinner. The service was excellent and my chicken piccata was wonderful, the portion was generous. Next time I will try the seafood risotto. The prices seemed far and I will definitely be back.“

“Wanted to share a positive review. Came in during a quiet lunch hour looking for a spot to grab food and take a call. There are a few small booths to the side with power outlets, and service was quick and efficient. I had the bucati cacio e pepe with meatballs and it was great. Thank you for the gracious service and cozy atmosphere!“

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

“Had some errands to do in Newark, me and friend stopped in for a cocktail and lunch 10/10. great atmosphere, awesome staff. If I didn't live so far I would be a regular“

“First time here. Great experience. We got there right at 5 pm when they opened on a Saturday. Got table right away. 20 mins later place was packed with long wait. Wait staff was awesome. Annette stopped by our table numerous times and was fun to talk too and welcoming. Shrimp beeps were our favorite. Eggplant was awesome. Garlic pasta and savoy chicken were so tasty. Could not have been more pleased. Great prices too. Old school atmosphere that is fun to experience. But it’s not a place you can linger, you eat and go. Highly recommend for good simple Italian food.“

“Best pizza in Newark!!! Been eating this pizza for over 30 years!“

“Hands down my favorite Italian restaurant in the world, I'm there at least once per week. The portions are enormous (for two people at least) and their vodka sauce is to die for. I love pork chops too and my favorite salad is the string beans one - I could eat it every day. Maybe not the fancy looks but you will love their food, I promise you.“

“Wow! Tony's Pizzeria absolutely knocked it out of the park! From the moment I called, the phone staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making the ordering process a breeze. But the real stars were the pizzas themselves.
The Margherita pizza was classic perfection, with fresh ingredients and a beautiful crust. And the Nduja pizza? Perfection. The rich, spicy flavor was perfectly balanced. Plus, the mac n cheese wedges were a fantastic, cheesy side. This is definitely a go-to pizza spot. 5 stars, hands down!“

“We had a 40th Birthday Party in the private room on Saturday night. It was absolutely fantastic. The room is beautiful ,they had it set up as we discussed. The service was exemplary. FOOD was amazing. We have been enjoying Forte since they opened. I would highly recommend this venue for any private party.“
