Margherita Bruschetta was born from a simple belief: that the best meals happen when good food meets good company on a familiar street corner. We opened our doors on Newark Avenue with nothing but a wood-fired oven, a passion for Italian tradition, and a commitment to this neighborhood.
Every loaf is baked in-house each morning. Every topping is prepared from scratch. Our menu changes with the seasons because that's how Italian cooking has always been done — with respect for what's fresh and local.
Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch between meetings, settling in for a long dinner with friends, or stopping by for an after-work cocktail, this is your table. No reservations required for the bar — just show up and stay a while.
Moments from the floor — from first light bread baking to last-call toasts.
We're right on Newark Avenue — easy to find, hard to forget. Walk in anytime during service or give us a call ahead.
