Best Italian Restaurant in Newark

Had the most amazing first-time dining experience at Five Corners! Our party started with the delightfully crispy calamari, succulent grilled octopus, and scallops with tarragon sauce that are to die for (definitely order extra focaccia to soak up every drop).For our primi, we enjoyed the tableside Carbonara served by David, the tagliatelle with filet mignon, and the chicken penne in vodka sauce. For the secondi, the chicken marsala and the tremendous T-bone steak paired with deliciously…

We are all from out of town and this was recommended by several local coworkers and let me say it did not disappoint.

The cocktails were unique, presentation was beautiful and service was outstanding. Thanks from the United team for an amazing evening!

Lastly, the staff was incredibly kind and attentive! Definitely a great spot -…

The branzino and shrimp was delicious!! One of my aunts loved her chicken parm. My other aunt had a creamy pasta (forgot…
