    JW was my waiter and he was phenomenal. I’ve never liked oysters and my sister and I got oysters and I tried one and oh my gosh, they were so good we got another plate of them! She had the ravioli and I had carbonara and it was so good. Our drinks were amazing!!!! Bread and oil dip was to die for. The place was very cute and clean. Could not be happier! I don’t normally do reviews but this place deserves it. Superb time and dinner! Thank you!

    Del Porto does not disappoint on service, food and overall experience. Had Crab Cakes and the Bolegnese which was fantastic.

    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!
