Caffè Espresso Italia

Caffe Espresso Italia is a true staple in the Ironbound section of Newark and a place I have been visiting for many years. Back in the day the Nona’s ran the counter with the kind of hospitality that made you feel like you were sitting in your own family’s kitchen. Every visit felt personal and comforting. The new owners have carried that same spirit forward and it shows. The recent renovation has given the space a cleaner and refreshed look while preserving everything that made it special. The food remains every bit as appealing as ever and the experience still feels like coming home.

Delicious eggplant parm lunch special and cappuccino. The eggplant was so fresh and homemade. I will be back!!

Great place and people. Food was really great, went for breakfast.

Ordered a Taylor ham and cheese with no egg. Attached is the result, disgraceful to sell a sandwich like this for 5.50. Better idea woukd be to charge 7 and put some meat on the bread. Place isn't like it was, never again. Terrible, wish the old crew was still here!!!

The product is good, but the prices change arbitrarily depending on who serves you. Be careful if you're young, they try to overcharge you.
