Five Corners Ristorante | Our Story
An Italian table in Newark's Ironbound
Five Corners Ristorante is an Italian kitchen and cocktail bar at 10 Wilson Avenue, in the heart of Newark's storied Ironbound. Handcrafted pastas, hearty classics, and a curated wine list come together beneath the hand-painted brick façade.
Pasta made with intention
From a silky carbonara finished with egg yolk and pecorino to rustic hearty classics, every plate is built to honor the craft, not to hurry it.
The cocktail side of the table
Signature cocktails at Five Corners are as considered as the food, drawing a loyal following in their own right. The bar is a genuine destination, where a creative and diverse menu of drinks complements every corner of the Italian table.
A curated wine selection
The wine list is chosen to complement the food rather than compete with it — a curated selection of Italian and international bottles suited to the occasion, whether a celebration or a quiet weeknight dinner.
Noticed by the press
Eater NY named Five Corners among the best restaurants in Newark, noting that genuine Italian cooking is a distinctive voice within the Ironbound's Iberian and South American landscape. The Newarker Magazine put it plainly: "Five Corners Ristorante gets pretty much everything right."
A growing Newark restaurant family
Five Corners is part of a Newark family of concepts: Sihana Café, the art-filled Ironbound coffee spot (est. 2020), and Sihana Bistro, which opened downtown in 2025 with Mediterranean and Georgian flavors. Three tables, one shared commitment to the city.
