Casa Vasca

Casa Vasca: Service, food, atmosphere — all 5 stars! My friend told me about Casa Vasca years ago, and I finally took the trip to Newark and visited this well established restaurant. There is free parking, in their private lot, just around the corner. There is an attendant who makes sure your car is safe. The restaurant is a very short walk from the parking lot - there is a large sign on the building. When you enter there is a large lively bar with patrons having drinks, and fun, and watching sporting events. To the left of the bar is a door leading you to the quiet, yet busy, restaurant. The atmosphere is mellow and the service is excellent! My husband and I sat in the back corner. We were immediately addressed by our waiter, Jose, who took our drink orders. I had a glass of Span

This place sets the standard for amazing food and warm hospitality. Everything feels genuinely authentic, from the flavors to the way guests are treated. The staff go above and beyond to make sure you’re completely taken care of, and the owner is such a kind and welcoming person who makes everyone feel at home. Once you eat here, it’s hard to find anywhere else that measures up!

What a gem! Great pulpo and croquetas de bacalao, really missed these. The bacalao al pil pil was really good too, and the portion was huge. Nice staff and great service, though the best thing was the people we met who recommended us all the good places to eat/shop in the neighborhood.

12/5 recommend this place! Incredibly polite and attentive staff, refilling drinks for you, wrapping your left overs for you, and making sure the food is perfect. Great seafood selection. Delicious homemade bread. Variety of alcoholic beverages to choose from (I enjoyed some Sangria). Best dinner experience in our trip to New York. Will be coming back again when in the area!

My friend and her father came to this restaurant 25 years ago and being form Basque country they liked it, but now when we went only one thing that we order was good: croquetas de bacalao. The seafood paella had no flavor, it tasted like rice with a few eye-catching sea food pieces( shrimp, lobster,scallops) but no taste, the stew squid was the same an eye-catching lacking seasoning plate. She was very disappointed because we had great expectations about the place, the people on the other had where very nice and attentive.
