A true find, we've been going to Casa Vasca for years, and enjoying it every time. It was our good fortune that we were picking up a guest at Newark Penn Station around lunch time. My wife suggested that we have a late lunch at Casa Vasca, which is close to the station. Service at Casa Vasca is old school: knowledgeable waiters eager to showcase their restaurant. We ordered drinks: my wife and our guest were quite pleased. Our repast began with crunchy fresh baked rolls, served with butter. A hearty chicken noodle soup came out, and was greatly appreciated on this cold and blustery afternoon. Our guest had Salmon a la plancha, which she said was excellent. My wife had a Branzino Special, which she shared with me: I can attest, just wonderful, a perfect recommendation. I had the Pulpo & Camarones al Ajillo, which I shared with my wife, and which we thoroughly enjoyed. (I might note: this is a great dish, quite authentic: you might consider stocking up on some breath mints for the sake of your companions). There is free parking a few doors down in an enclosed parking lot, which is a godsend in this busy neighborhood. Casa Vasca is clean, and the upkeep speaks volumes of the pride that the staff takes in their restaurant. Casa Vasca is a somewhat large restaurant, but feels surprisingly intimate. A group of gentlemen seated near us were pleased to regale us with their adventures, but were respectful of our space. It felt like sharing a family dinner. Prices are remarkably low for the quality and quantity you get. Do yourself a favor: break out of the ordinary and have a meal at Casa Vasca. Once you try it we think that you will, as we have, return over again.
