This was my first time at Fornos of Spain. I am not a big fan of Spanish food, but this isn't Latin American Spanish food of rice, beans, chicken, or plantains but European Spanish Spanish food. This is authentic food with seafood. I must say from the menu Spanish love them some seafood. You see all the seafood from Squid, Octopus, Scallops, Shrimp and Lobster. I ordered Lobster Bisque and Shrimp Risotto, and I had Sangria and some espresso shots. Lobster Bisque wasn't as thick as I thought but was delicious. The first thing I looked for in that soup was how much lobster they put in the soup, and it was like half of a quarter of lobster, which isn't much but more than what most places in it are. So overall, I would give it a 3 out of 5. I would put more lobster in it, and you could get a 4 out of 5. Next was the Shrimp Risotto. When I had this, I thought of it like the way Italians make it, but a little more milky, but it wasn't. Overall, it was good. They had baby shrimp and Jumbo Shrimp in it. For a $45 dish, they weren't short on the shrimp, so I give it a 4 out of 5. The drink Sangria was the best. The red one had me lit. They had bread, olives, and a salad. I'm not a big fan of olives, so I didn't eat them. But the garlic bread was delicious, and when you add some butter to it, it's amazing. The waiting staff was always there to refill and improve the food. We had a minor incident where a bug came out, and they did a fantastic job correcting and improving it. They brought out a fresh dining line, cleaned it off, and added something complimentary to the meal, which shows they were embarrassed that it happened. I love them for their lovingness. The restaurant looked a bit old on the inside, but the ambiance was family-style. This is a restaurant for something classy, a date, or just romantic. This place has an outside portion, and it would be awesome if we tried it. I want to come back to try other things at this restaurant. It is expensive but worth the money.

This is a solid option in this area, which doesn't have many formal restaurants. We ordered the paella and a few drinks. It was all tasty. The server was friendly and efficient. No complaints from us!

Forno's elevated a snack and a glass of sangria at the bar to a scrumptious meal. I ordered shrimp in garlic sauce which was a spicy, garlicky party in my mouth. Highly recommended for friendly but formal service and great food.

Always reliable and great place to eat with friends and family. Paella, steak, lobster, tomahawk, shrimp and more! Wine all good! Service was good, ambiance excellent! Great place for birthday celebrations as well! Go but make a reservations!

Absolutely a great experience time after time after time. I haven't been here in 5 years, however when my wife and I returned today, it was the same great experience! The staff was plentiful and very attentive. The food was also plentiful and the 1 lb. spare rib on the bone was amazing. Keep up the great work!

We enjoy coming here for a well cooked meal. Halibut is one of my favorite fish to eat. It was moist and juicy. Perfection. My coconut mojito was perfectly made. It is a large restaurant with many rooms but the service is always quick, but with no pressure to make you eat faster. My husband had the rib and it was such a large piece that he couldn't finish it. You finish the night off with a few churros. This meal was well worth the price.

This restaurant is a well run machine with a solid set of clientele based on the prompt and satisfying experience. Everyone should give this spot a try when looking to experience good tasting Spanish food. The menu offers a good selection to pick from. Our large party of 10 got to taste a number of appetizers and main dishes that filled our palettes with a smile. Appetizers tried were: octopus, squid, bacon (our favorite), tuna tartare, cod fish, escargot and white asparagus. Main dishes were: 4 different types of paella ( spring, squid ink, chicken and seafood). Three of these had some variety of seafood. Veal, and orange duck. There were sides provided that were rice and vegetables. Complimentary salad and dessert (churros and chocolate dip. Everything was flavorful. Can't complain about any dish. The service was prompt and provided with smiles all around. Great overall experience!!!

Great restaurant with good Spanish food. There is a valet parking which is plus for the area- if you are familiar with the area then you know how difficult it is to find parking in Newark. They serve big portions so beware and the service is always five-star, professional and quick. Went for my dad's birthday- we were a party of 8 people and knew how much to order exactly! Almost everything was exceptional- starting from the sangria to all the paellas we got- however, I got the lamb rack with what I thought was "mashed potatoes" and it was just OK- overwhelming :( the mashed was not regular potatoes, it was sweet to the taste. The lamb was also ok (as you can see in the image it didn't look as appetizing, but the NY strip that 2 people in my table ordered was perfection! If you have a big group, def make reservations in advance as they get quite busy at any hour of the day!

My wife and I met friends for a really fun dinner at Fornos. On a rainy Friday night, we made our way to Newark to try this restaurant. With the Devils playing a few blocks away, the area was busy, but fortunately the restaurant has valet parking. This is a large place with a service staff that has been here a long time and does an excellent job taking care of patrons. We started off with a pitcher of red sangria which was delicious. Bread and olives are served before the meal. The olives had a real spice to them. A large salad was served for the 4 of us. It was really good with a salty taste. We split a large plate of calamari as an appetizer. For entrees, we had 2 orders of Shrimp in garlic which comes with rice, vegetables, and potato chips. Plenty of food for all of us! We topped off the meal with the tres leches cake and coffee. Fantastic dinner! If you're in NJ and looking for outstanding Portuguese/Spanish food, Fornos is a must stop!
