Caffe Gelato has quickly become a Newark institution, and for good reason: it is simply hands-down THE best restaurant in Newark if you're looking for a more upscale dining experience. Reminiscent of the small restaurants in Rome (Rome, Italy - not Rome, New York!), walking down Main Street and letting yourself into Caffe Gelato is like finding a secret treasure. The atmosphere is intimate and spirited, waitstaff always bustling about to make sure every diner is being cared for. Noteworthy is the art on the walls, most of it courtesy of local artists and most of it for sale, as well.
Pros: very attentive staff, wide selection, great value
Cons: only one bathroom!
