From the moment you enter, tones of old world yellows, stone fireplaces, wrought iron cellar gates and sconces, soft candlelight, coves with upholstered sofa seating and friendly staff, it's an undeniable inviting space, nothing short of extraordinary. Two special occasion tables with antique throne chairs and live piano music add to the intimacy. Two romantic dining rooms cater to an elegant crowd, while the long narrow bar gathers a friendly and fun bunch nightly.The cuisine truly upholds the name of Fine Portuguese/Spanish Dining, seafood and fish, organic meats, the freshest ingredients and to maintain the tradition, huge portions are to be expected. The menu is seasonal and in addition to a varied selection of delectable dishes to satisfy any palette, daily specials are always featured. The wine list with over 180 selections is an ambitious one that keeps growing, but sure not to disappoint the discriminating connoisseur.

    Fornos is a go-to in Newark for a nice occasion. The staff is always friendly and professional, the atmosphere is wonderful - elegant but not stuffy/pretentious, and the food is exceptional. The selections are a challenge - in that there are too many good options; the flavor is wonderful, and you're usually taking some home, as the portions are generous. Then there are sides that come with the meal, along with the salad - plentiful. It's always a wonderful experience.

    Absolutely FANTASTIC! I would travel back to Newark just to go! Decor was awesome. Place was big but so well designed. Food was incredible. Every bite of everything we ate was tasty. The staff couldn’t have been any better. We had 2 littles and they were SO kind to them. And engaging. Note they have very limited children’s menu options BUT our kiddos shared a skirt steak and loved it! They ate the entire thing! Can’t say enough good!
