    The restaurant is very nicely decorated with beautiful Portuguese tiles seating Staff welcoming and attentive. The food was outstanding and well priced.

    The food was great! The set was great! The decor was great! We went for a light lunch before dropping friends off at the airport. This did not disappoint! Free parking was a plus!

    3.5* star. This was my second time at Marisqueira, the first being about 9 years ago for my best bud's 30th - no real frills, atmosphere is pretty low key and casual, but we were treated to some delicious Portuguese food. I found myself back in Newark last Sunday for a concert at the Prudential Center meeting up with 4 other friends and we all decided to make our return visit. The service was fairly attentive and we were offered some fresh bread early on. For drinks, we settled on sharing a bottle of white wine and a pitcher of red sangria for the table. For food, some of us were non-fish eaters, so we decided to go our separate ways lol. 3 of us (myself included) shared the: Paelha ã Valenciana: raditional seafood combination of lobster, clams, mussels, shrimp and scallops with chicken, pork and Portuguese sausage, served in yellow rice. ($45.75) - large portion and with a good amount of meat and seafood, great flavor. Hearty, filling, and the yellow rice is deeeelish. Parrilhada de Mariscos Para 2 Pessoas: seafood platter for two ($79.95) - a very nice assortment of fish, including their cod, clams, mussels, baked clams, and lobster. I would have normally given this food and service a 4 star review easily, but I have to be honest and admit that, after we were done eating, we did spot a roach that had briefly crawled on our table and on to a vacant chair, which I had then pushed away. When the waiter came around, we let him know, and he was apologetic and offered us a round of drinks to make up for the scare - which we appreciated. I...want to say it's a somewhat common occurrence in the area, so I mean, not earth-shattering...but, yeah, not exactly the pleasant parting note I had preferred. Regardless, I do think that if I found myself back in the area, and was hankering for some good and hearty Portuguese food, I'd likely consider coming back to Marisqueira.

    Walked in and felt like I time-traveled to an old-school Portuguese tavern -- blue-and-white tiles, vintage bar, super nostalgic vibes. The bread was amazing: soft and slightly crispy outside. The sausage wasn't juicy but super meaty and chewy -- salty AF, I kept reaching for water. The octopus salad was too mushy for me, not the bouncy type -- skip if you love a firm texture. The "acorda de marisco" (seafood bread mash) was the most interesting: super flavorful at first, but got heavy and salty fast. I felt SO thirsty after -- likely lots of salt and MSG, so if you prefer light flavors, beware! The white wine sangria? Recommend. Light, refreshing, balances everything else.

    We came here for lunch/early dinner after an event at Prudential. They have free parking - just make sure to get it validated at the restaurant. We ordered two different paellas because my daughter wanted octopus in hers. We got a pitcher of sangria & it was very strong - which was amazing after sitting through Disney on Ice. For dessert, the kids got lemon sorbets and I got the copa mascarpona. My husband got the molotoff merengue. The desserts were a little too sweet but overall yum! Really delicious and authentic food - highly recommend!

    We came here after checking out the cherry blossoms in Branch Brook Park. i heard there was a large Portugese community In Ironbound and i was excited to try a seafood place. Amazingly fresh and tasty seafood for reasonable pricing...Was enough to take home for 2 extra meals lolz...Great service also.

    Authentic Portuguese cuisine. Octopus, mussels, apps and a Portuguese version of a seafood paella platter had us stuffed. Good service and cozy classic restaurant. BIGGEST DOWNSIDE: NO BREAKDOWN ON THE BILL !!! That's a Huge Nooooooo! I hate places that do this. I was in a rush to see a show at the center and could not really dispute it, but I definitely felt like I overpaid. Times are tough now with pricing, and it is seafood, but the quick math in my head makes me feel like they got one over. For your customers satisfaction and assurance find a way to print out a breakdown of the BILL. It's 2024. Thank you

    Last weekend suddenly want to eat Portuguese food, on Reddit search Americans are pushing this treasure restaurant, into the restaurant a sit down was shocked, worthy of the United States Internet users to push the store, do not know why such a great shop little red book no article but their meals are very grandious super large! It's a good movie, too The price is also very approachable, with an average of 20-50 dollars, who would believe that you can eat a whole lobster stew for more than 40 dollars around New York City. Because they all looked so good and we ordered three courses for the four of us, and we gave up after eating less than half of them Figure 1) Lobster soup + rice $50, soup base is tomato seafood soup, which contains lobster, crab, shrimp, all kinds of shellfish, bread to eat a great Lobster stew $46, which also has a variety of shellfish and whole lobster, stew rice is also delicious Chicken seafood potatoes $24, this dish is mainly chicken, I think it is a bit oily but the taste is also OK, sour and salty, potatoes are very delicious For an extra $1, you can buy a fried dumpling that tastes like chicken curry inside Anyway, I think this place is easy to order, easy to eat, suitable for a large party size is about 2-3 people a plate

    Paella Paelha A Valenciana  & scallop/shrimp in garlic sauce

    We went on a Monday night. We had some relatives visiting from overseas. Wanted to show them the Ironbound. Got street parking on the block. We ordered an amazing house salad, stuffed mushroom, Scallops & Prawns in Garlic sauce. Paella Valenciana had everything - seafood and meat. Mascarpone dessert with chocolate was really good. We ordered enough food for 6 or 7 people portion-wise, but were only 3 of us. Food was good, but bill including sangria and scotch came out to $220 for 3 of us - would have been half of that before. So for that price in Newark, should have been unforgettable. Also weirdly, there was 1/2 lobster left at the end of dinner. I thought I'd have it for dinner the next day. But they didn't put it in the box. That was weird. The staff was very nice, and they let us hang out as long as we wanted. Didn't rush us.

    Fresh catch of the day presented!

    Authentic Portuguese food at its finest! Prepared with the best ingredients specializing in seafood. I have been being coming here with my family since I was a kid! Amazing service! Daily specials! That will remind you of your vacations in Portugal! Service is impeccable! Extensive wine list! I enjoy the white sangria! Make reservations! Parking lot and deck available- remember to get your parking ticket validated. Gratuity was added for our party of 6. Highly Recommend!!!

    This is my second time eating here. Both times we've eaten in the bar area as we prefer this livelier environment. We also met Jerry who is an amazing server. Both times I've been here has been with big groups and he never disappoints. He's a jokester and it makes the night more memorable. The food is amazing no matter what we get. As your sitting there and watch others food come out, you start to drool. This time I had a watercress salad (ask for light on vinegar, they have a tendency to be heavy), our table shared escargot, and then we also shared several servings of "mixed meat kebabs" (espetadas mistas de carne). My friend had the soup of the day and said it was amazing. Fair warning one food servings here are normally pretty big. You must also try their French fries, they are cut like fresh chips- so delicious! We finished off with a few desserts which we also shared bc why limit yourself to just one flavor of goodness . Flan pudding ( pudim flan) , sweet rice pudding (arroz doce) Sawdust pudding (serradura) And finally the most Portuguese thing ever... espressos!

    Calling all seafood lovers! This is hands down mine and my husbands favorite restaurant to get some of the best seafood we have ever had. The fried calamari is easily some of the best I have had anywhere in any country we have visited. The coating is crispy and seasoned perfectly. The marinara sauce adds a great touch to the fried deliciousness. The spicy seafood soup is always a warm and cozy welcome to the start of the meal. Dip some of the rolls they give you in it for some extra carb love. And the last dish, the paella, is our favorite entree we have tried here and is a staple every time we visit. Filled with lobster, shrimp, clams, mussels and scallops you cannot go wrong with this dish. The rice is cooked to perfection and the medley of seafood gives the best balance of flavors for the main dish. Not many restaurants that we go to use table linens anymore, but this one does which gives it a timeless classy feel every time we go. The tables are always cleared and set up after each guest very quickly. The gentlemen working are always attentive to our needs and very helpful with any questions we have about new menu items we want to try. I do believe they charge a service fee for using a credit card but I can't remember the amount exactly because we tend to have cash on hand whenever plan a dinner date here. If you're looking for the best calamari and some delicious seafood dishes this is the spot to visit for sure!

    Always a treat to find an authentic institution where the food speaks for itself! I've always hailed Newark as having the best Iberian food in America and this place backs it up! Parking is easy and free, service is beautiful and all the food is fresh, flavorful and delicious. We got the bacalao fritters, pulpo ensalada, sopa de mariscos, salmon and pork tenders. Topped off with vinho verde and marscapone cup everything was delicious. The restaurant itself is cozy and intimate, yet lovely table settings and bar.

The hosts Ooooed and Awwwed over the size of them & the unique flavors and when we would normally never pay 5$ a piece for chocolate, we thought they looked like a deal given the "size" and unique flavors. [12 pieces for $59.95] What was delivered was a joke! The total weight of the chocolates was approximately 8 ounces. That made them $120 a pound. They were simply packed loosely in a shipping box, so the box of truffles was shook and shaken all the way to our house and they looked terrible by the time they arrived. So an F for shipping. And the size, well as you can see they were nowhere as large as what was presented, as some were not even large enough to fill the space allowed in their packaging! For the most part they were smaller than a Lindor truffle. So another F for actual portion size in relation to what as presented on QVC. Finally the taste.... There was none. We tries 3, and they had NO real taste. I described them as eating Play Dough...just a weird putty texture. And the killer is 2 of the 3 we tried were hollow and you could see the seam where they constructed them. Yes...a BIG FAT "F" for taste!! We tried to return them and QVC didnt even want them back... So we put them where they belonged...in the TRASH. I welcome the owners of this establishment to prove to us what they offer is actually worth $120 a pound....

The two natural orders on a first visit were of course the classic and the ube, both of which were delicious. The ube flavor was subtle and not overpowering at all.

I placed a cake order a week before my birthday photoshoot and provided a clear reference photo plus detailed instructions to the baker, Elizabeth, over phone and text. I even came in person to pay a $20 deposit because I wasn't comfortable giving my card over the phone. What I requested was simple: A white, heart-shaped cake with pearls, curtain detailing, black bows, and elegant black cursive writing that said "Chapter 30." Unfortunately, what I received looked nothing like what I asked for. * Photo 1: What I asked for * Photo 2: First attempt -- extremely disappointing * Photo 3: Second attempt -- still not what I asked for When I came to pick up the cake, I was visibly disappointed. The tall male supervisor apologized and told me, "I'll see if we can fix it. Please come back in the morning." I explained how inconvenient it was to come three separate times for one cake: once for the deposit, once for pickup, and again because of their poor quality. He assured me that the supervisor, Corrine, would call me the next morning about the revision and compensation for the inconvenience. That call never came. On the morning of my photoshoot, I had to call THEM to find out if the cake had even been fixed. Corrine sent a photo of the revised cake, and it still looked unprofessional. She said I would receive a refund if I remained unhappy -- yet I never received my apology, and I still never received my $20 refund. I'm sharing this review so others are aware. This bakery used to represent quality, but clearly that standard no longer exists. After showing the photos to friends and family, several revealed they've had similar disappointing experiences recently as well. The most embarrassing part? My mother named me after this bakery because of its reputation and legacy in Newark. After this experience, that association feels more embarrassing than meaningful. Calandra's bakery, do better.
