Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Newark

My husband was very happy with his meal but I thought mine was blah. Possibly the least tasty meal I’ve ever had there. Since my husband was the birthday boy, I’m happy that he enjoyed his. My meal wasn’t bad, just not really good. And that is the standard I’m accustomed to at Caffe Gelato.

A friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to Vita Nova. It was a little tricky to find, and parking on any college campus is always fraught, but now that we know the particulars, we'll definitely return. We had reservations for lunch, which is a buffet with not only the basic soup, salad, protein, but also an amazing variety of vegetable sides. Lastly, a wonderful array of mini desserts allowed us to sample several. We especially loved the chicken tagine and the lemon pudding! Service was outstanding - from the hosts who greeted us at the door to our sever to the manager who checked up on us during our meal. All the personnel are students and they've learned well. The space has a relaxing ambience. The chairs are particularly comfortable. And the price was extremely reasonable! We can't go back again this semester, as there are no reservations left, but we'll be some of the first to sign up for the next semester.

Lovely atmosphere and food and service were delicious!!

Great food and drinks and one of our favorite places for lunch; however, we always find the room temperature to be a bit cool and uncomfortable.

Amazing food, very generous portions, terrific service, reasonable prices, great N.A. mocktails! Will be back for many other celebrations!
