Allettante is a staple for delicious, Italian food. Chef Jason is not only a skilled chef but a hospitable host. His staff is professional and knowledgeable. I’ve eaten here for dinner and group events. Consistently, the food is flavorful, hot, and out in good time. The main dining room is beautiful and the private hall is spacious. This is a perfect spot for date nights, family meals, and large gatherings.
We were lucky enough to stumble upon this gem on our trip. Its hours weren’t posted yet (3pm to 9pm for dinner, we found out). Then we learned how new this place was! We ordered the fried calamari, which was not rubbery at all and tasted fresh. The batter could have used something extra, maybe lemon, but the aioli and marinara definitely helped. We also got the veal parmigiana with spaghetti - the pasta was al dente and the sauce was light and refreshing. The three cheese tortellini was cheesy and creamy: delicious! They also added extra cheese for us. I’ll also say the bread and olive oil/balsamic they brought out to start was my favorite. So simple and delicious. We got a tiramisu for mom’s birthday and it tasted totally homemade and fresh. The marscapone mixture was thick and fluffy. They didn’t have their liquor license at the time we went, but they said you could bring your own bottle if you wanted. They should have it in March 2026! I will say this is better to come to with a group of people as they don’t skimp on the portion sizes. If you’re coming by yourself, you better be hungry! The 2 meals and the appetizer and bread was more than enough for 5 people to share (we’re all stuffed). They also have another spot next door to here where you can get sandwiches, pizza, ice cream, milkshakes, and more! Donald was a great server - very friendly, and attentive. We also met Jason, the chef, and he was delightful. It’s a family business so support local and enjoy a meal here! I would recommend this spot, for sure.
Everything was perfect: the food, the service, and the atmosphere. I will definitely go back there, and I highly recommend it. They also have a room downstairs you can book for events.
Book this restaurant while staying overnight for hockey game. The service was on point and the food was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to have a nice, Italian dinner, in a comfortable, warm setting.
Capped off our wedding anniversary here for dinner and dessert! This will definitely be our go to restaurant! Allettante is truly an up and coming dining experience for family style dining all can enjoy!
Greatttt spot, really enjoyed the meal and the service. The owner showed us around afterwards and I really hope that they manage to succeed in downtown Newark. Large portions, so maybe consider splitting one if you come with another person. Lots of TVs to watch sports. Currently BYOB but believe they are working on their liquor license
Been here a couple times now! Once for Sunday night dinner and the chicken parmesan and meatballs were DELICIOUS. Then, went here after Disney on Ice for a dessert! Such a cozy, yet sophisticated atmosphere and the food…..perfection!!!
The waitress Jessenia was nice and very accommodating. It’s a great restaurant with amazing staff and excellent food. Tonight, I had the shredded streak, sandwich by two big pieces of fried green plantains, lettuce, tomato and melted cheese. It was super delicious and very filling.
This is one of the nicest Italian places I’ve been to! The food was amazing - had the pasta in vodka sauce shared between two of us and it tasted exquisite. Atmosphere felt like home, with chill music and a thoughtful layout. And the chef personally checked in on how it all was for us. Our waiter Darren was very attentive and accommodating. One of the easiest five star reviews I’ve done in a while!
Food could have a little more salt, but it was good. Definitely it is a place to go with at least 4 people because everything is served family style. The service was excellent! And the atmosphere was nice and warm. I am returning because I want to try more dishes. It is recommended!
