    Wonderful experiences overall. A few things that could enhance the experience and these are little things that make a difference for me. Invest in better glassware. The rocks glass is undersized and the red wine glasses are too thick and heavy. The temp was off with cold air blasts at intervals and there is a slight smell when entering the restaurant. These small changes could really improve the experience because the food is absolutely exceptional!! Portions are unreal!

    I love this place, but I keep having the same thing because it is soooo good -- the carpaccio and the carbonara.

    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!
