Where to Eat in Newark’s Ironbound | Eater NY

"Opened in 1976, Casa Vasca is an old-school, Basque-inspired Newark standby where Francisco “Paco” Leston was once head chef before leaving the kitchen for a union construction job in his 40s and later returning to help his son with Casa d’Paco." - Valerie Stivers

It’s a good spot everyone was very friendly and the food was good. They also give an inordinate amount of food. I mean I don’t think I single person at our table finished their food. The ambience is nice and overall I like it.

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.

From the moment we stepped in, we were enveloped in a warm and inviting atmosphere, largely due to the woman at the bar who exuded an owner's charm and hospitality. Her welcoming demeanor, echoed by the attentive bartenders, set the stage for a delightful dining experience. For lunch, I savored the shrimp in white wine sauce, a dish that was truly delicious and lusciously prepared, perfectly complemented by a side of fluffy rice. The flavors were exquisite, leaving a lasting impression. Our only regret was missing out on the highly acclaimed soup starter, which we've since learned is a house specialty. Rest assured, on our next visit, indulging in their famous soup will be an absolute priority.

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!

This place is a hidden gem! The service is the best I have ever experienced. This is real food cooked to order made with love. Don't panic when entering lol your view is of the bar. Once you go thru the magical door your jaw will drop from amazement at the cozy and beautiful dinning room. Dessert options are delish. There is something for everyone. Parking is on the side street. There is a lot and then you walk to the corner to enter the restaurant. You can smell the food from a block away.

This is the benchmark to delicious food and service. This is a authentic as it gets. The servers will make sure your every need is met. The owner is a sweet woman that treats everyone like family. Don’t come here because you will be spoiled and nothing will compare!

Casa Vasca offers an outstanding dining experience! The wait staff was incredibly attentive, with several waiters ensuring that we were well taken care of throughout our meal. Selvin, Javier and José were great!! They were not only friendly but also brought a great sense of humor, which added a delightful touch to the evening. They went above and beyond to accommodate my mom's dietary requests with care and flexibility. The food arrived quickly, and the portions were generous enough to share. Overall, the service and food quality made for a memorable visit. Highly recommended!

Fantastic and authentic Northen Spain cuisine, with a great Captain and owner that already is a Legend in the City of Newark. You need to come and become an addict to this Superb Eatery.
