Exquisite cuisine complimented with our extensive award winning wine list featuring the very best from Italy, France and California. This makes for a unique and memorable dining experience at this top New Jersey restaurant. Attention to detail defines “Fine Dining” at restaurant da Benito. Immaculate Italian table linens on every table and a professional wait staff will cater to your every wish. Our menu is as rich in flavor as it is diverse and incorporating local grown vegetables, homemade pastas, aged steaks that rival the best steakhouses and fresh wild seafood creates a menu that has to be tasted to be appreciated.

We were flying in from SF and needed a late dinner spot. We found Del Porto on Open Table. Close to EWR but surprised by the rating given the location. We were pleasantly surprised by the ambience, menu, food and especially the staff. Family owned and run. We were served by the son of the owner. The level of care really shows. Excellent ‘family style’ food with very generous portions (leave your idea of California portions behind). You will leave happy and satisfied (but not hungry).

We live in Staten Island which has so many Italian restaurants but our favorite is Mulberry Street in Woodbridge. Chef Paul makes so many excellent dishes. Some of our favorites are Beef Bolognese, Veal Sorrrentino & Shrimp Parm (not on the menu but he will make it). Best app is the mussels in a cream wine sauce and best dessert is his pistachio cheesecake. Reasonably priced food and wines. Great vibe with suttle dinner appropriate music in the background.
