Campino Restaurant

Campino continues to prove why it’s one of the best Portuguese restaurants in the Newark area. We ordered the whole fried red snapper, the butterflied whole branzino, and the grilled octopus. Every dish was excellent. The red snapper was perfectly fried—crispy on the outside while staying moist, flaky, and full of flavor inside. The branzino was simply grilled and expertly cooked, letting the freshness of the fish shine. The grilled octopus was tender with a beautiful char and seasoned just right. The roasted potatoes and fresh vegetables complemented the seafood without overpowering it, and everything tasted fresh and well prepared. To finish, we had the cheesecake with vanilla ice cream, and it was the perfect ending to the meal—rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious. The service was attentive, the portions were generous, and the quality of the seafood was outstanding. If you’re looking for authentic Portuguese seafood in Newark, Campino is well worth the visit. We’ll definitely be back.

Outstanding Portuguese/Iberian restaurant with great meat in particular. The mixed grill (pictured) truly can feed at least 3-4 people. Great cocktails and terrific service... A real treat!

Outstanding food in a beautiful locale. My third time there and never disappoints. The garlic shrimp and rice with shrimp were delicious, and the whole fried snapper better than in the Florida Keys!

I cannot say enough great things about this place! My tiger shrimp was delicious! My entire family raved about their dishes too! Our server was great, super attentive and friendly. It was 15 of us and they were not slowed down. If you’re looking for a great place in Newark for a birthday dinner or other special event, I definitely recommend!

Wow! I love the atmosphere and the staff was absolutely fantastic. Kind. Helpful. Awesome! The food was off the hook delicious from the appetizers to dinner and specialty coffees with desserts. Just tremendous. They just do it RIGHT 👏🏼👏🏼
