Restaurants near Knights Inn Newark Airport Elizabeth

Great experience. I celebrated my birthday with family & we had a wonderful time.

We were flying in from SF and needed a late dinner spot. We found Del Porto on Open Table. Close to EWR but surprised by the rating given the location. We were pleasantly surprised by the ambience, menu, food and especially the staff. Family owned and run. We were served by the son of the owner. The level of care really shows. Excellent ‘family style’ food with very generous portions (leave your idea of California portions behind). You will leave happy and satisfied (but not hungry).

Always a pleasure to dine at DB. The service is polished and competent, the food is delicious and beautifully plated. To start, we truly enjoyed the excellent selection of breads presented. Garlicky and savory, the Caesar salad truly pleases the palate. Fried calamari, tender and lightly breaded paired with their special hot and spicy marinara, was a real winner. My filet mignon prepared Pittsburgh style ( cooked perfectly) really hit the spot. The other entree, rack of lamb, did not disappoint. Coffee and homemade DB biscotti for dessert, rounded out an amazing dinner.

Overall I enjoyed my visit. But the drinks were water done and had large chunks of ice. Wish they had a few more food options. Definitely would return for a 2nd visit.

Food was tasty, drinks were good. Not sure if A/C was low but it was a little warm in there but overall a great time.
