About this restaurant

Tony Da Caneca has been in business since 1965, offering authentic Portuguese cuisine to residents of Newark. The atmosphere is pleasing with subtle lighting and dark woods, and the menu is extensive and varied. Appetizers are heavy on seafood, with shrimp in garlic sauce, clams in green sauce, fried squid, baked scallops and mussels in marinara sauce, to name just a few. If you're a landlubber, though, you'll probably like the sausage flambé at Tony Da Caneca. Mains at Tony Da Caneca include more than 20 seafood dishes, and over 25 meat and poultry dishes, including items not often found elsewhere, like rabbit stew in white wine sauce. An extensive dessert menu is also available.
