Best Vegan Restaurants in Newark

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.

We decided to sit at the bar and have tapas and a nice bottle of wine. Beautiful atmosphere, wonderful bartender/ server (Juan I believe?) was knowledgeable about the wines and cuisine. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Tapas is such a fun way of dining because you can try so many things!

Lovely atmosphere and food and service were delicious!!

Service was exceptional and food was very good. It was a bit noisy but overall a great experience.

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