Newark's dining scene is filled with independent restaurants, where asking if someone is the owner often yields a 'yes'. The food, ranging from hibiscus horchata to boquerones, combines generous portions with a spirit of home-cooking.
The Ironbound neighborhood in Newark, historically known for breweries and metal manufacturing, has emerged as a dining hotspot. Casa d'Paco, owned by Angel Leston, reflects the new Newark spirit with its Galician-infused Spanish cuisine.
Casa d'Paco's renovation was a family project, with Leston and his father doing the demolition and table-building themselves. The kitchen now serves dishes like scallops, pulpo a feira, and caldo gallego, with homemade desserts by Leston's mother.
The restaurant's crisp and citrusy house white wine, Paco Luca Albarino, complements the dishes served at Casa d'Paco.
