Very nice and modern Italian restaurant. The chicken piccata was good! I got the fresh spaghetti as a side and mixed it in the sauce!

Ambiance was very cute and cozy. Drinks were good and the service was also nice. Would come back but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

Ate here for a work dinner a couple weeks ago and got the lamb chops. They were absolutely delicious & some of the best lamb I've ever had! The bourbon sauce was outstanding and the lamb was cooked perfectly!

Amazing food, if you don't want to leave the house, just order for delivery or pick up. The pasta is so fresh and delicious, is like you going back to grandmas house.

I mean...WOW So it's Newark Restaurant Week... I'm not big on Italian food and I have a high cream/dairy intolerance but I couldn't stop eating the Abruzzo con Asparagi(which my friend ordered, so I spent our lunch reaching over to her plate). Finished off with a Tiramisu. I mean wow. Again.

This place was recommended to us by some business associates while traveling in NJ for business. I had a flight to catch at 8pm so we stopped in at 530pm for an early dinner. We were seated immediately in a cozy booth. The restaurant is lovely inside with chic textured tile walls, a swanky bar, and classy tablescapes. The menu is on the smaller side, but filled with all the best sounding options. Warm focaccia was delivered to our table with fresh olives, olive oil and balsamic. It was super delicious! We then shared the seared scallop appetizer which was also phenomenal - pro tip: save your bread to dip in the divine sauce that comes with the scallops! For the main I ordered the Carbonara which had a lovely presentation with the soft yolk on top. It wasn't the best carbonara I've had, but it was tasty all the same. Service was excellent.

I always like to dine somewhere nice before a show or concert. With stellar reviews and photos, this was a no brainer.The interior is modern chic. The colors were eye-pleasing and I loved all the natural light. We were greeted warmly. Our waiter was extremely attentive throughout our entire meal here. Service was a 10/10. Here is what we ordered: - Ginger & Hibiscus Sour (Mocktail) - Pear & Prosciutto Salad (App) - Grilled Salmon & Vegetables - Spaghetti Fruitti Di Mare - Panna Cotta w/Berries (Free w/Yelp Checkin) Every dish was delish and perfectly seasoned. I appreciate the portions too. Our waiter bought over a silver tray of complimentary Limoncello served in beautiful crystal shot glasses with our checks. It felt so fancy. Lol. I had this for the first time on my Italy trip this past May. It's served icy cold, refreshing with a lemony taste. Nice way to end the meal as it aids in digestion. Parking is a bit tricky. Just make sure you give yourself enough time.

I met up with a friend at five corners restaurant to catch up and it was conveniently in Ironbound area of Newark. Parking was not too difficult as I was able to catch a free spot right next to the restaurant. I'm glad we went during the day during lunchtime, because the restaurant was not busy at all when we walked in. We were greeted by a young man who was like the Jack of all trades. Nicolas was our server, the host and the bartender. Nicolas was friendly and helpful when we couldn't decide on beverages. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with wonderful neutral tones, green plants, plenty of natural lighting and the music was also on point. We felt very comfortable there and could sit and people watch if we had no where to go. We were the only ones in the restaurant for the majority of our lunch, so we are glad that it didn't take a long time for the bread (no olives) to come out, and the rest of our food came out in good time. The food was good not amazing. We did enjoy most of what we ordered. We ordered the salmon tartare and it did not come with anything, no crackers, bread or chips, which we thought that was different so we requested bread with it. What we didn't like was we noticed that the avocado that came with the salmon tartare was Brown/dark olive, which we expected to be bright green as fresh avocados are green. I didn't care for the salmon tartare especially since it didn't look appealing. We ordered the Chicken Marsala and the Chicken Milanese and both were good. The chicken Marsala came with mashed potatoes and was better than the chicken Milanese. Since I checked in on Yelp, we were able to taste one of their desserts! We chose the tiramisu... and it was okay. We probably should have tried something different. Hopefully next time. We also ordered two of the spritzers, I had the blueberry one and it was refreshing... but I couldn't pick up on the blueberry flavor. Overall it was a good experience, Would I come back? Yes, I would probably come back for dinner to try a different dish.
