Tapas Restaurants near Newark, NJ

“So glad I stopped in!! $39 for a full bottle of Malbec Red Wine!!! 🤯 If I was heading home, I'd have grabbed a bottle or two of the other wine offerings to go!! The prices are insanely good for wine and food! The arugula salad ($20) with tuna ($6) was delicious and had SO MUCH fresh avocado in it!!! Mauricio came by to clean up my plates quickly and offer me water! Ian was a fantastic waiter who had a contagious upbeat attitude and did a fun show of opening the wine and serving me in general!!!! Also, the cheesecake is sooo good!!!“

“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! ✌️“

“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“

“Best food and margaritas!!“

“I love this place. They always have great and fresh food. My favorite has to be the vegetable ramen. It’s so delicious, their chicken wings are flavorful and guns texture is pretty good. I love their bubble tea as well. I order through Uber eats majority of the time, I wonder if I can directly order from this restaurant though. I think I’ll find that out. Today I ordered the matcha green tea bubble tea, usually I order the mango milk bubble tea. They must remember because Uber gave me a complimentary mango bubble tea. This place is highly recommended by me. 10 stars“

“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...“

“I went there with my wife this evening and it was a great experience. We had delivery a couple of times, but eating at the restaurant was so much better. We were greeted with a big smile by Demi and she took great care of us. We had the large Meze appetizer and the small Mixed Grill and it was perfect. We had plenty to take home for Super Bowl snacks. We had a nice chat with Demi and she gave us a complimentary dessert of their homemade ice cream. The flavors were baklava and walnut. They were delicious. I highly recommend eating there. Thank you so much Demi for a great experience.“

“We went on a Friday night. It was quiet. Seemed like mostly family dining. Definitely feels like a nice family owned, neighborhood restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious. We had the garlic shrimp appetizer and for our entrees we had the churrasco and fried pork chop. The chimichurri sauce that came with the steak was so good I could probably drink it! I thought the prices were reasonable for the portion sizes. Will definitely be back!“

“Outstanding craft cocktails and delicious food! I only wish I had found them on my first night in Rahway rather than my last. I would have been here every night…“

“Incredible eccentric food. Great cocktail spot.“

“I recently started going to The Coupe with a friend of mine who recommended it. It feels like I'm in midtown Manhattan when I go.. it's like a slice of Manhattan and Staten Island. The staff really works to provide a totally different environment than what you normally encounter in Staten Island. I'm writing this review because I wanted to express how much of a great time I've had when I go. Specifically one night I ordered something that I usually order, and this one night it wasn't quite what I was expecting. I didn't mean to complain, but I told the bartender that I was disappointed in what I received. Roy graciously took care of me, and promised me a better plate next time I entered. He apologized and asked me to reach out to him the next time I was coming so that he could be aware and make sure that I was taken care of. When I arrived he did just that and the plate I received was stellar. It's more the way that everyone there cared about my dissatisfaction and worked on that day and then the following visit to ensure that I was satisfied and serviced well.
I feel like the measure of customer service is greater when you encounter an issue with a proprietor and result that issue with care. I was very satisfied, and I'm actually on my way there for another great night at The Coupe.“

“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.“

“this is the best bar an restaurant Katrina an Abby are the best bar tenders an the food is amazing.“

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

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

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

“Ordered calamari and it was so salty when we got towards the bottom. Ordered the Easter special entrees (prime rib and short rib) with mashed potatoes, same thing. Too salty that it wasn't safe to eat for someone like me with high blood pressure. Manager came over making his rounds and we told him about the overly salty food today. He went to the kitchen to check and came back and agreed with us. He said they were making a new batch but never heard from him again even though he was in our area multiple times. There was no offer of comping part of our meals considering that my wife and I did not have an edible side (mashed potatoes) to go with our meal. Have been dining here for years and this has been the worst experience we've had at this establishment. Disappointed that we didn't get another side to eat with our meal.“

“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 kid working today was so sweet and helpful! I always enjoy their empanadas and love that they have many options with no cheese! Delicious options at a great value! I hope they bring in a non dairy milk as I'd love to get an iced coffee... but I'll be returning for those pernil empanadas!“

“I recently visited this place and it was an outstanding experience. The food was amazing and perfectly cooked and seasoned to perfection. The ambiance was elegant and relaxing, ideal for a nice evening out. The service was also nice, with the staff being attentive and friendly. The prices were reasonable for the quality of food and service provided. I highly recommend!!!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“LOVE this spot!! The staff are the most accommodating team of people you could ask for. The food is DELISH and the vibe is exclusive and upscale. The music whether it’s live or a DJ is always on point. Hookah and Valet parking available. A STAPLE in JC!! get in while you can you WILL NOT regret it!“

“BBQ Chicken Pizza Was Juicy and Hearty... A Bit Too Much Ranch For My Liking... Good Price of $17 Bucks Or So... Food Came Out Pretty Fast If I Remember... This Place Is Like a Night Lounge Which I Never Knew So I Should Pay a Visit to Chill... Open Till Midnight Most Days So Good Go To For Late Night Drink Munchies...

Kid-friendliness: Nope...

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes...“

“Food was good! Service was great, thank you Juan Camilo! We'll come back.“
