I had a wonderful dish of Sea Scallops. I was full and asked to have the 6 remaining scallops packed for me. When I unpacked the scallops to eat the next day, I found only 4 were packed. I was disgusted. That is a cheap and uncalled for thing to do. I will never go there again.

Monstrous steaks and excellent seafood. Very good service. Paella to die for. One minor drawback is that you seem to be 6 inches from the next table and there is always a waiting list with no reservations..

This is by far the BEST Spanish/Portuguese restaurant in Newark. Very elegant atmosphere and decor, but you are welcome even in jeans and a T-shirt. The food is top quality, from the salad of sea salt-washed romained lettuce, olives tomatoes and onions to the perfectly steamed lobster. My favorite dish is the shrimp in champagne sauce, and I absolutely love the "chips" that they serve with every meal. The service is fast and friendly -- even at their busiest. After dinner, be sure to enjoy a Spanish, Mexican or Jamaican coffee -- the smoothest and tastiest coffee ever and served in a brandy snifter. No reservations taken, so get there early on weekends especially. Even if you have to wait, though, it is worth it -- and then some.

My trip to Forno's was a pleasent one. The food was very good and done in spanish style. I had the seafood in the green sauce that was very very good. The mix of a whole lobster , clams, mussles, shrimp, and scallops were very well portioned and had some to take home. Even though the place is busy I was never rushed. The prices are very reasonable for the atmosphere and service.

We absolutely LOVE this restaurant. Alot of people aren't crazy about going to Newark, particularly at night, but they should have no concerns about going to Forno's. There is a private free parking lot in back of the restaurant, for the patrons. Unfortunately, they do not take reservations (at least I don't think so) and there is always a long line, particularly Friday nights through Sunday nights. It's worth the wait however. You can order a pitcher of Sangria while you wait, and be sure to ask for a plate of the marvelous fried potato chips (free). During the warm months, you can wait at the outside tables, between the parking lot and the restaurant. The food is terrific. My favorite is the mariscada salsa verde, which is seafood (including lobster) in a green sauce. If you just order a main course, your meal will come with salad, great bread, potato chips (homemade). The entrees are very reasonable, even the lobsters. A plate with double lobsters is in th ... more
