I've never been, but I've heard great things about the Ironbound and other parts of town....for a first timer, where is the best restaurant to take my wife on a date in Newark? |

Loved Tony Da Caneca, more quiet and better service than most other places we've been. |

Another vote for Casa Vasca----as you can tell, however, you're going to get a variety of restaurants b/c there a lot of great ones, esp. considering what you get for the price.

Another vote for Casa Vasca. http://www.google.com/maps?hl=en&hs=GtT&lr=&client=opera&rls=en&q=casa-vasca&nea r=Newark,+NJ&radius=0.0&latlng=40735556,-74172778,7213295433905366742&sa=X&oi=lo cal&ct=result&cd=1 Don't be put off by the size. The seating is intimate. The service is incredible and the food is fabulous. My husband is a hearty eater and he usually brings home a doggy bag. The prices are extremely reasonable. Everything is fresh and there is a manned parking lot for diners of Casa Vasca. Lunchtime is just as nice as dinnertime. |
