“Solid performers” in Newark’s Ironbound, these “always packed” Iberian siblings draw crowds with their “celebratory” rodizio and “abundant” portions of seafood; hard to beat for “value” since they churn out “more food than you can imagine”; P.S. on-site parking lots are a big plus.
With an accommodating and quaint atmosphere, Adega Grill in Newark is the hottest new place in the Ironbound section. Inspired by its name, Adega, meaning wine cellar in Portuguese, the motif of the decoration is of vineyards and wine making. 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.
What can be said about a restaurant that has been open since 1965? One of the first three restaurants in all of Newark, and one of the original Ironbound restaurants, Tony da Caneca has, if nothing else, stood the test of time. For more than half of those nearly four decades, the Vieira family has made sure that this Iberian neighborhood restaurant has done much more than just that. Chef Jose Dantas, who trained at the Lisbon Culinary School and was a chef and owner in Portugal before coming to the US, offers the Ironbound an overwhelmingly authentic taste of Portuguese cuisine. A large selection of wines and vintage ports further complements the menu. The classy dining room is highlighted by dark woods and subtle lighting and is adjoined by a bar in separated room, where many locals come to relax in more casual atmosphere. Over the years, Tony da Caneca has been cited in countless positive reviews, including a recent mention in Wine Enthusiast, but it is the loyalty of diners to quality establishments that have made Tony da Caneca a staple of Newark’s Ironbound section.
