    We’re in Newark briefly at an airport Hampton awaiting a flight today, having flown up yesterday to mitigate the likelihood of missing a connection. It’s a bleak area of grim row houses in the shadow of hulking shipyards, but I found us an orchid of a restaurant poking out of the muck. We supped on fried zucchini blossoms stuffed with ricotta, fresh bread with garlicky olive oil, and halibut oreganato over sumptuous couscous. Then coffee and homemade tiramisu. If you ever find yourself in a layover at EWR, I recommend Del Porto on Elizabeth Avenue in Elizabethport. It is exceptional!

    I so happen to stumble across this restaurant, and I’m so glad I did. I fell in love. Overall it was an amazing experience from the beginning to end. The food was outstanding and the customer service was to also great. I thank you for an awesome time .. this is how it should be done. Keep it up! We had the meatballs, the sweet spicy calamari, the lump crab cake, the spicy jumbo shrimp with penne a la vodka and for dessert the chocolate stuffed churros 10/10 Cocktails the lychee (we went three rounds) soo good! 10/10 I’d come again!

    Del Porte Ristorante offers a fantastic dining experience with beautiful river views and ample street parking. Our server, John W, was outstanding—attentive, knowledgeable, and spot-on with his recommendations. Be sure to ask for him! We started with the fresh, flavorful burrata and enjoyed the crispy chicken parmesan and rich eggplant parmesan—both delicious. Perfect for a date night or a special evening out. Highly recommend!

    Was looking for somewhere to eat near the airport and found this hidden gem on Open Table. Drinks, food and service were all amazing. Valet parking made for easy in and out. All of the waitstaff were great and made for an exceptional old-school Italian restaurant experience.

    Food, service outstanding. Had a group of young athletes w big appetites and refined palates. Portions full sized. Services team was great and fully engaged. I'd go back in a minute. Fully priced, but worth it. Steak was great, as was chik parm alla vodka, zucchini chips, anti pasta, cannoli n churros spot on too. Vongole strong too! Artie Bucco would be proud!

    we were staying at a hotel airport flying out the next day. Took an Uber to the restaurant without high expectations and were pleasantly surprised.. Walking through the door, we were immediately impressed with the ambiance of the bar. Has a very stylish interior. The staff were friendly and attentive. My wife had a delicious eggplant lasagne, and my rigatoni with meatballs was better than good enough. Very generous portions. Nice bread, olive, and cheese plate to start. Overall, two thumbs up.

    Service was slow, even tho there were only 3 tables occupied. Server was confusing, didn’t know the menu items, and overall just not great service. Food overpriced for location.
