Wow! This was an awesome experience! As a fan of the Rocky film series, I knew about this place from the Rocky Balboa and Creed films. It is so much more than that, though. As the founder was a major player in early 20th century opera recordings, The Victor Cafe has an opera theme permeating its soul. The walls are adorned with photos of the opera greats, opera music plays softly in the background, and, most importantly, the waitstaff are all classically-trained opera performers. Every half hour or so, they gather everyone’s attention to perform a selection from a popular opera, complete with a synopsis of the story they’re about to tell through their performance. Every performer was wonderful and this made for a unique, joyful and memorable experience for my family. I grew up on Italian cuisine, and this was among the best I’ve had in a long time. We shared the Calamari Fritti, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that we could have substituted Smelts for the calamari. This was a staple of our Christmas Eve dinners when I was young. My Veal Saltimbocca was perfect, as was my Daughter’s Prince Igor (penne with a vodka blush, salmon, tomato, and Asparagus). We enjoyed our cannolis while watching our last performance of the evening. Breathtaking! Special shout out to our server, Brenna, who took our dessert order mere seconds after completing her duet! Remarkable! I can’t say enough about The Victor Cafe; if you’re looking for a classic South Philly Italian Restaurant, paired with one of the most wonderful and unique experiences you’ll find today, then this is the place for you.

About the restaurant
With the opening of Taverna, Platinum Dining Group brings to life its highly anticipated version of the “neighborhood gathering place.” Rustic and simple in conception but well crafted and high minded in execution, Taverna brings to Newark a casual sophistication that sees reclaimed wood and exposed brick on the wall. Polished marble rest atop the overstretched bar which boasts eighteen draft beers and the state’s first ever “tapped wine” system. A seemingly humble menu is carefully considered with homemade pastas, coal-fired pizzas, and daily “features” that will bring a smile to the most discerning grandmother’s face.

Always a delight, but especially at Christmas time! Our server attended to our table several times to check on our experience. They accommodated our request for special seating. Lighting was sufficient. The decorations looked festive and cozy. The chicken parm with vegetables tasted wonderful and my house salad included a variety of toppings. Not your typical house side salad! My husband ordered the special cod with crab and enjoyed it. Our friend ordered lobster bisque, caesar salad, and coconut shrimp. All appetizers, but made a complete meal. The dessert, a pear with hot fudge and ice cream with berries and whipped cream was large enough for two of us to share. Did I say delicious, too?! Thank you Arielle's!!

The food was absolutely fantastic. The presentation was beautiful and the taste/flavor was amazing. Our table had seafood ceviche and artichoke and crab appetizers; each shared by two people. They were excellent and enough to share. Then 2 of us had halibut but 2 different preparations. One of us had scallops and one had lamb chops. Wow, we were all totally happy with our entrees. Highly recommend this restaurant. Service was timely but not rushed nor intrusive. All in all we can’t wait to go back.
