Best Authentic Restaurants in Newark

We decided to dine here for the first time based on positive reviews. The location and restaurant itself is in a small strip mall. We were warmly greeted and seated promptly. We enjoyed seeing the great Italian-themed pictures and art on the walls and accompanying low-volume music playing to give us a touch of Italy. The Petrale Sole (Special of the Day) was superb, perfectly cooked, and the accompanying sauce and vegetables very pleasing to the palate. The Risotto with scallops, sun-dried tomatoes and artichokes (another Special of the Day) was excellent. The service was top notch and most appreciated was the attention to our stated food allergies. We were too full to experience their dessert, so we have to go back another time soon.

We had a great dinner experiences here at Evvia. All of the dishes were delicious, but lamb chops was our favourite, juicy as it can get and beautifully tender as medium. Our server, Francesco was welcoming and attentive which made our experience very memorable.

Met friends for a casual late lunch on a Saturday. It was not crowded, so noise level was good to chat and socialize. Great ambiance and friendly service, food and drinks were good. Prices were on the higher end but all tasted good and was well presented. it looks like they have a good happy hour to try out. My only disappointment was that the photo of chicken tortilla soup was filled with avocado , but my bowl had none ☹️ though the soup was very good.

I love the ambience of this place. The food is very nice. Value for money. Service is awesome.

Outstanding service and great food. Nice decor too..
