We always have a great meal at Del Porto. The eggplant lasagna is outstanding with layers of fresh pasta and fried eggplant. The chicken parm and steak also deserve a mention. This is a great option when you need to eat near the airport.

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).

Great to see that the old Manalos restaurant reopened as DelPorto, but was disappointed with their food. Way overpriced, especially for lunch (no lunch menu). The apps were well presented and very good, as well as their home made pasta. The entrees however were underwhelming. The Chicken parm was fair at best. At $42 it should be a much better quality - it tasted like tough veal. $20 cocktails are a bit outrageous as well. We're not in NYC. Ambience and Service were excellent - but hoping they improve their menu.

Everything from the reservation, the greeting at the door, the service, a custom drink, the food etc. was absolutely perfect. The food was prepared and served with obvious attention to detail. It was a great dining experience and would recommend without hesitation. Thank you for a spectacular experience!!!!!
