Stayed at the Fairfield inn near Newark Airport and it was difficult to find a restaurant that would deliver to us - we didn't have a car. Luckily, Ellie's bistro did deliver through grub hub. We ordered a salad and eggplant Parmesan to split. The portions were huge and the food was delicious. Food arrived the correct temperature and quick. Great experience!

The food was good simple Italian fare and the service was quick and professional. This was nice, as we were eating prior to a show next door at the Rock. The prices were reasonable too.

Came here before an event and the food blew me out of the water! I feel like for a lot of restaurants that are close to arenas, the food doesn't taste too great and it is usually overpriced as well. Ellie's Bistro is the opposite of that, delicious and reasonably priced. - Complimentary Garlic Bread - This wasn't so much like a slice of bread, but more like flatbread with garlic mixture on it, but this was still delicious nonetheless. The bread was crispy on the outside and chewy with a pizza dough-like texture on the inside. - Chicken Parm Pizza - Big fan of this pizza and honestly highly comparable to some of the best in NYC. I especially liked the mozzarella as it tasted fresh and was a great contrast to the heavier ingredients on the pizza. I loved the dough here, it reminds me of the chewier pizza doughs you get in Italy and London. I appreciate the bite and the charred flavors throughout, would highly recommend getting it. - Penne Vodka - I usually am not a fan of this pasta, but they make it so well. I appreciate how much prosciutto they sprinkled throughout the pizza. The sauce also coated everything to elevate the flavors and using the garlic bread to clean up the dish is truly my favorite part. Overall, highly recommend coming if in the area. In the future, I should come to NJ more for food as it is so much more affordable than NYC and the food quality is still great.

This is a cozy little bar/restaurant we went to before a concert at the nearby Prudential Center. Despite the busy crowd, our bartender/server was friendly and attentive. The food was excellent. Try the balsamic and honey glazed calamari.

This is a small, very busy restaurant, right around the corner from the Prudential center. We had a Napoleatano Pizza. It was very good. The bartending service was a little slow, but again it was VERY busy right before a sold out concert at the Prudential Center. The atmosphere was very nice, but very tight and very crowded. I can't fault them for any of this. But I will say that our pizza arrived before our drinks, hence the 3 stars for service.

Came with a group of friends before attending a basketball game. Got multiple things but the two items I would recommend is the Baked and garlic bread with cheese! Was very hot and fresh! Pizza was okay-my friends loved the penne vodka more. The staff were really attentive and kind-one of my friends pasta almost smelled like dishwater so he asked to send it back and order something else and they were really sweet about it! It was also my friend's birthday and they gave us a little cake free of charge. Will be back!

Great gem near Prudential Center. Came here before Seton Hall game and it was about 90% full. Was worried we might be late for game but we ordered food and came out very quickly and was excellent. I had the chicken parm which was cooked perfectly and the sauce was very good. Staff was very friendly. Definitely will come back here before a game in the future.
They have the best shrimp alfredo I've ever tasted. It comes with bread!

I am extremely selective on where I order steaks from. I ordered their grilled ribeye since I wanted steak and it was the only place available. I was honestly skeptical of the quality of the steak prior to tasting it. Not only was I proved fundamentally wrong, I became an avid fan of the place. Incredible flavor, near perfect dish. Been my go to ever since! 5 stars!

Busy night, ahead of a Devils game, but we were seated pretty quickly. Food came fast. Loved the lobster ravioli special. Husband enjoyed the chicken parm. Arrive 90 minutes before an event if you can!
