Great for lunch. Nice menu selection. Tasty desserts too. Reservations are a helpful option.

I am overly impressed. We had been turned away from a nearby restaurant. Came here. They actually set a table, because we did not have a reservation. The food, the service, never bad I will return. Always the Ho-Ho-Kus go to!! read more

Arrived and I was greeted by Albert himself . He was so kind and generous. He directed us to our table and provided us with specials of the night with menu . This restaurant is BYOB . Everything was delicious and the space was cozy. My fav were the clams ! The sauce was delicious . I also took a cheesecake to go and it was creamy and tasty. Our waiter was attentive and very kind too . The staff were great and had such a great experience. I will be returning again soon . Thank you for a great experience. read more

We picked Albert's for a weekend lunch. Very nice restaurant in a very nice town. We were lucky to get a table right away around noon. The staff were super friendly amd welcoming. They have their own bakery at the entrance. The menu has a combination of appetizers, pasta sandwiches and pizzas. We got the mussels which was the best dish we had. Very well cooked and served in a tasty citrus broth. We got the margherita pizza which was not very tasty. I failed to see any mozzarella in it. The pasta was okay. I ordered the special sandwich too, which in the menu said sliced flat iron steak, but in the sandwich they were chunky rectangular pieces. The problem was when I took a bite, the whole chunk came out in one bite and rest of the sandwich became meatless. So I'd have really liked if the steak was actually sliced in thin layers, or be in much smaller cubes. But overall the sandwich had good taste. We were also charged for soup of the day that we never ordered. Lucky I noticed before leaving the restaurant. The staff were flexible to allow me to take some bakery items for the incorrect charge. I actually liked their bakery goods, the coconut macaroon and chocolate lollipops were actually good. Overall a nice restaurant but it's few towns away from us, probably we won't be anytime soon. read more

Great service. Very attentive staff. Nice and good seating. Clean. Street parking. I like the pizza and mussels. I feel Penne alla Vodka needs a little bit more seasoning. Zucchini is too thin to be fried. All I taste is oil. But overall it's not bad. read more

One of my absolute favorite spots to eat at! Whether for a quick bite to eat with friends, weekend brunch, or a nice date night Alberts will not leave you disappointed. The food is always phenomenal I have never had a meal I did not enjoy here. I recommend the penne vodka. It is so flavorful and filling youll be happy to have leftovers to bring home. The zucchini fritti appetizer is a must have for a nice snack before your meal. Today I popped in for a quick lunch with a coworker and ordered the broccoli cheddar soup and eggplant Parmesan sandwich with fries. The broccoli cheddar I have never had before and is delicious and perfect for a cold winter day and it wasn't too heavy. The eggplant was delicious and filling as always. I brought home the other half to eat for dinner. The fries are my favorite part as they are crispy, have the perfect amount of sea salt, and still have the skin on. My friend ordered the cheese steak sandwich and could not get over how great it was and how he grew up in the area and never tried Albert's. Safe to say he has a new favorite spot! Service is exceptional here. The staff are friendly and so efficient even when the restaurant is packed. In the warmer months it is great to dine outside here for lunch and brunch on the weekends. read more

Fast friendly service. Ordered Pescatore Fra Diavolo $37.00. Dessert home made Hostess cupcake. Food was very good . Alittle pricy for what you get . But its the signs of the times. Good place to go for a special occasion not a regular place to eat. read more

Terrific spot for dinner. We had a number of different dishes and started off with steamers (superb choice) and a beet salad special. I had the chicken scarpeillo with sausages ...average, two of our friends had salmon which looked amazing. Food overall was well prepared and delicious. BYOB which also helps. Very nice setting and friendly ambience. Definitely worth another visit. read more

I'm sorry to write this. In this case it was a mistake to not have sent my food back. This is a nice looking pleasent looking place with nice service my friend liked their turkey burger and Brownie. I liked my coconut cake. However I asked for my burger med rare. It was not it was raw and stringy. I think it had just been defrosted. My mistake for not sending it back. My server asked how I liked it and I told him. Good news I did not get ill. Sorry bout this one. I told the friend who recommended this place. I will not return. read more

Very bad service..waiter was told in beginning needed checks for each couple...and instead decided after dinner to bother everyone trying to settle the bill...poor management as well with Nick read more

Very cute local restaurant! The staff were friendly and food was good. We got the pizza and ink squid linguini which was a big hit. The pepperoni pizza was yummy too and big enough for 2-3 people. read more

Service was subpar. Food was average. But will not be going back nor recommending. Too bad it's in a very nice town.

Alberts is our go to place and last night's dinner needless to say DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Food great...service great...always a nice greeting and thank you from Albert himself!! We look forward to next time!! read more

Went here with a friend on a Friday night--place was slammed! Immediately smelt so yummy as we walked in. We decided to split the Fried Artichoke appetizer, the Margherita Pizza and the Wild Mushroom Truffle Risotto. The artichokes were lightly fried and tender, the pizza was very good as well, slightly sweeter sauce which complimented the crispy crust nicely. The winner of the meal was the risotto...wow. So tasty, not too much truffle and a good amount of mushroom. It was rich but not too heavy, perfect amount of food to share. I would definitely come back here. My only complaints were how loud the place was, but on a busy Friday night, understandable and the service was not amazing. We waited awhile after we were seated for someone to come over and no one checked in while we were eating. But like I said, everything else was great and I'd go back! read more

Great little gem in downtown Ho-Ho-Kus. This used to be the old Cafe Amici. The restaurant has stayed true to its Italian roots and soul. Our meals were all delicious. Chicken, seafood, vegetables and seafood are all on point. The staff is friendly and attentive. Decor is nice. Outdoor dining available weather permitting. Highly recommend. read more

Nice wealth ambience full of character. However the food didn't fully meet our expectation. We order sweet spicy sausage pizza it's not brick oven with fresh dough. 3 out of 5, spaghetti meatballs asking for Dante. The pasta is mediocre but not made from scratch 2 out of 5. We had better meatball at cheesecake factory. Next with their weekly special osso buco with risotto its lack of flavored & the protein, rather chewy then butter soft 2 out of 5. Lastly the dessert cake pop not better than starbucks 3 out 5. Ridgewood & Westwood have much better Italian restaurant. it's just extremely competitive to be good read more

My husband and I have lunch here often. The salads are fresh and plentiful. My favorite is the Spicy Thai Salad. My husband gets the Buffalo Chicken Cobb Salad. We also ordered the Zucchini Fritti which was crispy and delicious and enough to take some home. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Love the outdoor seating when the weather is nice. I highly recommend Albert's, it's a great place. read more

An absolutely delicious meal, and I appreciate how the restaurant accommodates kids (we try to head in before 6:30). The specials are incredible, but you can't go wrong with that mushroom risotto. Also, the staff is beyond professional. read more

1. The Service- The service is absolutely amazing and the staff is extremely kind, attentive and friendly! 2. The Food- The food is absolutely amazing. There is no bad option. I'd recommend trying something new from the menu each time you come. My order always contains lemongrass mussels. My go-to at alberts. 3. The sit down area- I usually always order takeout from here. However the inside sit down is spacious, relaxing vibe and looks very comfortable. One day will come to sit and enjoy a wonderful meal. Overall I'd rate this a 10 if I could. The food, the staff and the entire vibe the restaurant offers is one of a kind and definitely a staple in the town of hohokus. I travel from fair lawn to hohokus specifically for Albert's most of the time. Thanks again! read more

Always such a great experience. I usually come here for sea food fra diavolo, but has been increasingly more of a lunch place for me too. The salads are great and I had a burger for first time yesterday - I would challenge a JG Melon honestly, it was very good, perfectly salted and perfectly cooked! I am always looking for a nice medium rare burger, usually disappointed but to embarrassed to send back, these guys nailed it! read more

This was my first time dining at Albert's, and it was delicious. Three of us had dinner and we ordered the following and shared it. Artichoke oregano, Franco Salad, Mission Fig Pizza and Rigatoni Arabiata. They served it to us all at once which was perfect. Being a byob i brought a chilled bite of Chablis which made the meal more enjoyable. Honestly all three of us enjoyed everything. Ambiance, could of been decorated a bit nicer but the food made up for it all. staff as well as the owner were all so kind and gracious. will definitely go back read more

Albert's is a great place for lunch or dinner. Food is good, service is very good, and the decor works. Seared tuna salad was certainly worth doing again! read more

We had a family dinner here. Theres outside dining too. Reservations are a must, for inside dining. We were running late so we missed our reservations but we were able to eat outside. There were heaters which helped because that night was a tad cold. The food was delicious. Everything was great. read more

Flawless food and service. This is an outstanding restaurant. Our first visit and we'll be back. Food: Chicken and vegetable dumplings appetizer. Delicous! 6 pieces good for sharing. Dumpling dough was thin and delicate. Stuffing was also delicate. Sauce was flavorful with a tad of heat. Just the right amount. Short Ribs. Delicous! Boneless and served over mashed potatoes with al dente veggies. Meat was so tender with an amazing red wine demi glaze. Melt in your mouth and luscious. Mashed potatoes were creamy and a great compliment to the meat. These Short Ribs were the best I have had in a very long time. Totally beats Cafe Panche in Ramsey. Orecchiette Carmine. Delicous! Great quality sweet sausage with a wonderful flavor. Broccoli rabe was tender with the right amount of bite and not too bitter. They nailed the cook on it. Perfect amount of evoo and roasted garlic in the sauce. Roasted garlic a nice touch. Gave the dish a bit of sweetness to counter the broccoli rabe. IMO, didn't need the tomatoes in the dish. Could have used a few more pieces of sausage. Coconut Cake Delicous! Fresh and fluffy cake with a not too sweet frosting. Large portion for sharing (at least for us). I can't vouch for the rest of the menu, but we are definitely coming back to try more of their menu items. Service: OUTSTANDING! I usually don't comment too much on service because it's all about the food and I am forgiving particularly given the difficulty restaurants are having with service help...BUT...the service here is so outstanding I have to comment. A Thursday night at 7P and they were totally booked. We didn't have a reservation. They apologized and offered us a table in the Bakery area that they could set up for us. Not a usually dining spot. It was set up in minutes. When a table became available in the dining room, they offered to move us. We had only started with bread so the timing was perfect. The servers are so pleasant and accommodating. They were quick to service us and keep track of us during the meal but not overbearing. I haven't had this quality of service in a very long time. They did everything right!!!! Ambience observation: Only thing to consider is the tables are very tight and the restaurant is noisy. read more

Found a new favorite restaurant! Alberts has some outside seating and then inside dining which is very cozy and modern and spacious. The bread and tomato spread they give is delicious...started off the experience right! Then I got the chicken Milanese and wow I could have finished the whole thing. The chicken was crispy and not greasy. The salad was light and tasty - made the perfect match. The coconut cake is a must get. I may have to go back and order a whole cake to bring home. Free parking and it's a BYOB. Go try it out! read more

Very nice staff, comfortable space, great menu (as in, I can not decide what to get), and fair prices.

The food is great - pizza is nice and light and WOW what can I say about the cannoli the cream is out of this world - I have been twice but the only problem I had when I went the second time I was rushed and told there was another big crowd coming and no one showed up but I will say the atmosphere outside is nice and maybe the server was having a bad day read more

I came to Albert's to celebrate a friends birthday. I had made a reservation, and I am glad I did because it was busy. Albert's is BYOB, and has an extensive menu as well as a changing list of daily specials. For appetizers we did the mussels and the artichoke and fennel salad. I liked that there was no lettuce in the salad and it still felt very full. The mussels were great, and that broth was delicious. It came with crostini but I wish I had saved the bread that came in the beginning to soak up the broth. For dinner I had the bolognese and my friend had the pork chop caprese. I thought my sauce had a lot of great flavor and was the perfect portion. My friends pork didn't have much flavor and was a bit dry (but tasted great dipped in my sauce). For dessert I had carrot cake and my friend had coconut cake. They had a nice selection of stash tea to end the evening. I would definitely come again to try their brunch or lunch options. read more

This is a great local place that's been consistently good whether dining in, dining al fresco or doing takeout (the latter two are all I have done since the pandemic). The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the food is fresh and delicious. It's BYOB so you're guaranteed to drink your wine of choice! This restaurant adheres to all of the COVID-19 pandemic rules and offers hand sanitizer outside and inside. Oh, and they also have heaters outside if you prefer to dine al fresco like me! In addition to the delicious meals they offer amazing home-made desserts and treats. I highly recommend the cheesecake and key lime pie! read more

Passed by this place on our way home and decided to give it a try because it has outdoor dining and heaters. But apparently heaters are only available for parties of four as they are placed by the tables that arrive parties of four. And no, a party of two can not sit there on the off chance a. Party of four shows up. My husband enjoyed his frittata and I had the turkey sandwich with Brie. It was tasty, but the chutney was a bit similar to jam and the chips were over cooked and under salted. Over all a decent lunch. Would have been nice to be offered a refill on our ice tea but hey, they were waiting in those parties of four. read more

A solid 4. BYOB and good vibes. Great location and a lovely space. Super casual given the menu. The food was good. Meatballs and mussels. Mushroom risotto and chicken scarpariella. The service was pleasant. The bread wasn't soft or warm (but we came at an odd time). Did I enjoy it? Sure. Was it memorable? Not particularly - but the coconut cake was insanely great. Would I return? Probably. If you're unsure - just go - it'll be good. read more

This is my second time back at this location. Couldn't stop fantasizing about the Penne allá vodka ! It's so rich in flavor and creamy. (Side bar : I am super picky with my penne allá vodka!) it is rare for me to enjoy it from anywhere than at home. However albert's offers such an array of food and everything I've tried so far has not disappointed. Also the carrot cake is amazing ! read more

Albert's is a rare find with a wonderful menu and freshly made lunch and dinner entrees.

There is indoor and sidewalk seating. Love that is BYOB. The menu is extensive and we could not decide what to get so we shared three dishes. The flatbread was ok. I would not recommend that chicken milanese, it was pretty flavorless. Zucchini fries were yummy but there's only so many of them that you can eat. was excited to try coconut cake but it was dry and crumbly. looked good though read more
