Trattoria Fresco Newark, NJ (part of New York City Guide)

The cheery interiors and wooden flooring complement the Italian spirit at Trattoria Fresco. The menu, not surprisingly, features pizzas, pastas and risottos—all prepared with a perfect blend of the classic and the contemporary. The Shrimp Crespelle (Italian Crepe with Ricotta Cheese & Char Grilled Shrimp) is one of the best options on the menu and a meal outdoors is always a fine experience. Parties for up to 75 people can be arranged with prior reservations.
