We love Tammy! We have been going to Battello's for years and we will only sit in Tammy's section. She is kind, accommodating, and a pleasure. She is high energy and is so personable. We love coming to Battello's just to see her. Thank you for everything! read more

This was a great time!Good food and great service. the staff was kind and thoughtful.

Unfortunately I cannot say many good things about Battello based on my experience. I dined here for a friend's birthday with 8 people in the party on a Thursday. It was surprisingly busy. The decor was lovely since it is a wedding venue. There is also parking right in front of the restaurant which was helpful because it's a busy area. We were seated quickly and the waitress was very nice. I could tell she was trying to do the best she could. We put in our drink and appetizer orders. I will say the cocktails were delicious but every round took a while to get to us. They were normal pricing for a high-end spot. I tried the Emmy James at first and it was a bit too bitter for my liking but I had the Main Squeeze afterward and it was perfect! Sorry I didn't get a photo I was too busy drinking! The appetizers came in and they were extremely small portions for $20+ price but that was expected. I only tried the steak tartare and it was good. I've never had that before. The table liked both apps. The problem was with our entrees. The portion sizes were ridiculously small for entrees! The Prime NY Strip was half the usual serving size and $54. I also found it so odd that the Lobster Ravioli comes in 2 sizes. My friends ordered the small and there were only 3 raviolis. Who gets full with that? I had the Pan Roasted Half Chicken and I immediately spotted a hair and sent it back. Luckily they comp'd the meal without me asking. They came back pretty quickly with a plate I think was the same one but I was hungry. It was good and seemed to be the only normal portion size. I loved the fluffy mashed potatoes. I won't be coming back to this restaurant. You don't get high-end service or meals for the high-end prices. read more

I mean, you cant go wrong with Battello. Everything is good here, no complaints. Only that the menu almost all sea-creatures, which i love, but options are always nice. At one point we had two waiters, but our main server Erica, was super knowledgeable and nice. Great views by the water and really good light live music. He was playing bangers but in a soft tone. Nice touch. read more

First time here and we liked it. I would give it 4 out of 5 for overall. Food: 5 out of 5 We had the Tuna Tatar as our appetizer, which was very tasty and overall very good. Then my husband had the Halibut which was well cooked and served, and I had the Lobster with Risotto, which I loved every bite. Atmosphere: 5 out of 5 Very nice place, clean and very relaxed. Really like it. Very nice for a romantic dinner with a beautiful view of NYC Service: 3.5 out of 5 This is where they lost some points. The waiter disappeared on us and the food seem to had taken forever to come to the table. One other waiter pick up on the lack of the other waiter so that kind of made up for it. We were celebrating my birthday (which we noted on the reservation) and they gave us complementary Champagne (without us having to tell them) to toast with. read more

Food and service were very good! It was pricey, but as expected with the location. My fiancé took me to celebrate my birthday which was so nice. We didn't get sat in the back with the large windows (boo) because I really just don't think they cared. lol (yes he put in the notes that is was my birthday when making a resy) anyways back to food... we each ordered a cocktail and Focaccia bread and honey truffle butter (butter was so good!) we then tried the zeppole and Parm appetizer (very unique!) and we really enjoyed that. For mains we ordered 1/2 order of Cacio E Pepe and some rigatoni (with vodka sauce) they did bring out a dessert, can't unsure what it was? Overall food was good - I heard the weddings are very nice as well. read more

What an amazing place to hold a reception. WOW! My niece held her reception here and it was off the charts. Super swanky. The vibe of this place is just unbelievable. The view of New York City skyline, the lights coming off the water, red brick building inside and out, the layout of this place is just perfect. The food was amazing from the 2 different types of carving station to the 10 foot charcuterie board, a great bar and the service was phenomenal. And that wasn't even dinner. Dinner was either Filet Mignon or Sea Bass. Everything about this place was perfect. It was sad the night had to end. read more

Came here to celebrate my birthday on Tuesday. The place is beautiful. i stumbled on it, looking for outdoor dining in New Jersey. I was hoping to sit outside for some IG worthy pics, but sadly, the smoke covered the city, but still, the view was nice. And it was raining as well. I like that it's very romantic but also good for groups or just having dinner with a friend. I was able to ride the Uber all the way up to the restaurant, which was nice. My date and I sat by the window to see the view which I requested. I ordered the schooner seafood tower, and my date picked out a bottle of wine. I think the manager came over to speak to us, and that was nice . My date told them it was my birthday and I thought I would get a surprise piece of cake as some places would do but that didn't happen. The seafood was nice and fresh, and I enjoyed the wine pairing. The staff were nice and very attentive. I got some great pics, and I was satisfied. I would go back to try the black squid ink pasta and some other things on the menu. And I'll also looking forward to exploring the area. This place is worth a visit. read more

Let me first say, these people could be serving just about anything and I'd still say you should go for the view alone. The location is absolutely spectacular. On a beautiful summer night you forget you're in JC and you feel like you're a rich person on vacation on a yacht. But the food is actually really good. Prosciutto wrapped zeppoles are such an extraordinary dish! And the service is too notch. They also have a great wine list! It's a gorgeous venue and well worth the price and trip into JC. read more

Great waterfront restaurant with parking! Let's just let that sink in. Ok, the minute you walk in the door you are swept away by the ambiance and low key vibe. The waterfall wine wall was a sight to see. Stroll out to the patio and get ready for a "Shipwreck" cocktail that is light and refreshing with Botanist Gin and basil. Yummers! The noise level varies but definitely ramps up around happy hour. However, the live music made it all worthwhile. We enjoyed the fried shrimp appetizer, which had a touch of heat to it with flavors to tease any palate. The risotto was amazing. However, the lobster ravioli, while quite expensive for the appetizer portion definitely lacked the "wow" factor. I would not order this again. I did make up for it with the banana cake. Flavors that are out of this world. Try it! I would definitely return because of the ease of parking and the waterfront views. Do yourself a favor and give this one a try. read more

excellent view, great outdoor seating, great bar, the lobster roll was excellent, the service was very good, the garlic mashed potatoes were excellent as well overall a keeper Sammy was a terrific server my daughter needs gluten-free options and he was very attentive to making sure she was given the correct foods read more

Popped in again after some time away, service was spot on. Drink - the water was warm. Lobster roll was a bit fishy, fries were good but salty. The salad was salty and sour, too much dressing? And the pepe di cacio was excellent - but salty. I'm sensing a theme here. I'll try salad w/ dressing on the side next time, and will definitely be back for the pepe di cacio (pepper and cheese pasta - simple but delicious!). read more

The ambiance and views at Batello are definitely the highlight -- the waterfront setting is beautiful and makes for a great atmosphere. That said, the service felt a bit mid and the food was somewhat overrated for the price point. Nothing was terrible, but it didn't quite live up to the hype I had heard. If you're going for the vibe, it's worth checking out, but if you're looking for a truly standout dining experience, there are other spots in Jersey City that might deliver more on the food and service side. read more

Visited Batello for the first time today. Such a beautiful restaurant. Some important things to note if it's your first time 1) there's free parking in front of the restaurant. Try there first before paying for the parking deck like we did lol 2) not sure if it's every Sunday, but there's only a brunch menu up until 2:30 and we showed up around 2. Super fun fact they closed the restaurant after 3pm for the super bowl Food: our server recommended I get the gnocchi because it's what the chef is known for. It was good, but a little salty. I also with it was more meaty. Our party also liked the shrimp n grits. The chocolate wine cake was also just ok for my opinion. I wish it was sweeter. If you're not into sugary dessert than you might enjoy it more. Drinks: The shipwreck was recommended by our server. It was strong but a little too bitter for my liking. I had a second drink (something with lavender ) it was very pretty but the taste wasn't impressionable. All in all, I would love to revise for dinner service. It's a beautiful restaurant and perfect for special occasions. Theres a perfect view of the New York skyline from inside the restaurant read more

This is my second time coming here. 1st time was pre covid and we sat outside. I remember my meal was delicious. And we listen to NJ sensation Danielle Illorio and her band. It was dope. So fast forward - a great friend gave me a gift certificate years ago and I finally found the time to use it . Took my cousin from Spain here for dinner. I advise on making reservations Had the same cocktail I had last time - the Emmy James. It was ok . We had the Ricotta Gnocchi to start and it was delicious. My cousin didn't like her eggplant entree. I had the Branzino and it was ok . Didn't wow me. Parking available on the pier but if it's packed then there is Pubic garage across the street. Music inside was too loud for me. I was glad I was outside . Not sure how the people inside could talk to each other . read more

Wonderful views of the city at this waterfront restaurant with cute decor! Prices here are a bit higher as you would expect from a restaurant like this, but I think it's the feeling of you do pay for the view so the prices are higher, but not so bad. Staff was friendly and food was good, nothing that particularly stood out, but they do have seasonal items which is always nice, so will be back for a date night to try out other new foods they have. read more

Came here for dinner with my boyfriend and did not have a great experience, especially for the price. I ordered the swordfish and my boyfriend got the gnocchi. Waitress had to take back the swordfish because it was raw and ended up giving me a pasta dish. Dishes were okay but for the money could get better Italian in the JC/Hoboken area. Service took a while - you're paying more for the view. read more

Came here for some drinks and a bite to eat with a friend. Matt the bartender was attentive and accommodating and even made this passion fruit cocktail! The drinks are beautiful and taste even better than they look. The avocado toast with salmon was generously portioned. We sat at the bar and time slipped by with all the catching up and not once did we feel rushed to leave, which I really appreciated. Will definitely be coming back to sample the rest of the menu! read more

If you don't have a suv with very good clearance be very careful driving into this place. Your car WILL BE damaged because the speed breakers installed are high enough to damage your cars underside even if you go ultra slow. I have a bmw 328 and I literally tried to go through these near standstill and it still scraped and damaged my underside. When I called the restaurant to complain, they say they are not responsible since the area belongs to Newport marina. But 99% of people entering and parking in this area go inside for battello and not to use the marina! If you want to damage your car underside go ahead and enter at your own peril. read more

Prices seemed high for what we got. The food was warm and arrived timely, but there was nothing that wowed us. Might not return soon.

We had: * Squid Ink Torchio * Fennel Crusted Pork Chop This was our second time back at Battello and the ambience and amazing service remain unchanged! If you're lucky, you can get a view by the water, but even without the skyline, we were perfectly satisfied with the live music that happened to be playing the day we were there. The pomodoro sauce of the Squid Ink Torchio was a little too strong and the dish ended up mostly tasting like tomato... But the Fennel Crusted Pork Chop was amazing both times we had it! One of the best pork chops I've ever had, absolutely bursting with juice and flavour, it never disappoints! Note: the pastas no longer come in small or large sizes, which I do miss as it allowed you to try more options read more

My friend Steven and I lunched at Battello restaurant at 502 Washington Blvd., Jersey City today and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We ordered a few dishes and found their assortment of seafood and salads delicious. We enjoyed a few preparations of lobster and they were very pleasing to the taste. The decor was lovely and server Jessica was pleasant and attended to our table with charm and efficiency. She is to be commended. Also, bar-back Ben was a nice addition to the bar area. I highly recommend Battello's as an eatery to dine at. read more

I had lunch here with a friend. We sat at the bar. I was early, so I decided to grab myself a cocktail which was the sunset serenade. Erin the bartender was awesome. Great personality, so friendly and makes a phenomenal cocktail. I needed a suggestion for what to order for lunch and she recommended the smoked turkey blt. It was delicious and the side salad was perfect. My friend had the panino and he said it was great. The atmosphere and views of NY are awesome. I loved that they have onsite parking. Another plus to this establishment. I will definitely return to sample their other mouth water cocktails and food items. I'm sure this is the place to dine in Jersey City, especially when the weather allows for outside dining. Make a reservation if you want to eat here. You won't regret it. I know I didn't. read more

You really just come here for the ambience and view rather than the service and food. Food is good, but too pricey for Italian, wannabe fancy or not. I understand it's the area and it is what it is. Additionally, I attempted to come here once after a late night in the office, and although an hour left before closing, was told I could only sit in the bar area instead of the window side dining area with the view. The restaurant was not even half full and with an hour left I was told the remaining tables were reserved. Complete and utter garbage, and I left. I won't come here on my own accord again.

Had an enjoyable evening celebrating my sister's 25th birthday here! This place is a little hard to find from the street if you don't see the sign... but make sure you do your best to find because there is a free parking lot. When you do find it, you realize that it is a treat for the eyes and the vibe is really laid back, yet happening (telling my age). Very dimly lit, so much so that I needed to use my phone flashlight with my aging eyes lol. Open space.. we were seated away from the bar area, where I saw some TVs playing pre season football games.. there seems to be an upstairs, not sure if there is dining up there, I was there for the bathrooms. And we enviably watched some patrons be seated outside in an enclosed patio with a magnificent view of Manhattan. Next time, we have to figure out how to score those... Let me first say, thank you to Battello for being so understanding with my zillion calls to change the party size and time of our visit... I have very inconsistent family members. But, nonetheless, it left a good taste in my mouth before I'd even arrived. Once we were seated, we were immediately waited on by a very pleasant, accommodating waiter, Francisco. He's a good guy. I ordered two French martinis that were totally different than I'm used to, but in a very tasty way. Drinks are small, but pretty mighty. A few of the items on the specials menu, like the calamari, were sold out, so that was a bummer... but the grilled octopus and white shrimp were tasty, but small.. all the dishes were not so plentiful, btw. The cacio e pepe was bland.. For my entree, I ordered the short rib tortellini from the specials menu, which I inhaled... it was sooooo good! Yum! Dessert: donuts with marshmallow fluff and peanut butter fudge dip.. I was definitely not that impressed. The fluff tasted anything like what I remember as a kid of the glass jars... and the donut itself wasn't anything special. I did enjoy my cappuccino with sambuca. An added treat... make sure that you hang around outside to get some wonderful photo ops of the NYC skyline.. read more

Good food, friendly service, live music (on some nights) and nice views of NYC - what's not to like? Had dinner at Battello a couple of times - Nicole was our server for one our visits and Justin was the server during the other, both were great. Love the Housemade Foccacia to start and they had a Salmon Tartare appetizer as a special one of the nights which was excellent. For the entrees, we especially liked the Smoked Salmon and the Scallop dishes. The Baked Chicken and the Cacio E Pepe were also good. The Expresso Martini Affogato was a nice finish. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Batello is a great place to bring guests for a more fancy or business-related dinner. We made a reservation for a weekday evening and asked to be seated at a table indoors, in the room with large windows that provides abundant natural lighting and a magnificent view of the city. There are also tables outside by the dock, or more inwards within the restaurant. As the evening continued, there was also great live music that made for a wonderful ambiance. All of the food was so beautifully presented. For appetizers, we tried the Braised Octopus and the Hawaiian Kanpachi Crudo. The octopus was great and size was quite decent. As for the crudo, while it was fresh and aesthetic, the portion is rather small. In terms of entrees, we quite enjoyed all of them. To comment on a few, the texture of the tomato lacquered eggplant was wonderful--soft on the inside with a nice crunch from the bed of crispy lentils atop. The squid ink campanelle had a great taste and we appreciated the sizeable portion. And the lobster ravioli was so delicious, some of the best ravioli I've had. read more

One of the nicer Italian places in the neighborhood. Ambiance is good. Service is pretty fast too, for most of it. I only go to this place because of their food. Although very few vegetarian options, but I've never been disappointed. The taste is pretty great. read more

Everything was great until dessert which took a while to come out. The decor, though, was spectacular. Location: Located on a pier in Newport, Battello is very convenient, especially if you live in Hoboken, Newport or Jersey City. Despite all this, since the restaurant is on a pier, it's much quieter than the rest of the city. Decor: The interior was decorated beautifully. The Christmas decorations made everything feel super festive and this is a perfect date place with the view of Manhattan. Food: I liked my gnocchi entre and the cheese platter and octopus were good. The cheese platter was missing bread slices to go with the cheese but they remedied it after we let the wait staff know. Service: The service was great, but dessert took a while to come out. Price: A little pricey. Verdict: Worth checking out but dessert might take a while. Also, this place is a little pricey. read more

I'm writing a 5 star review because I indeed had a 5 star experience at Battello! From start to finish!! I called in for a reservation 3 weeks ago, and spoke with Brianna Callahan and she was absolutely lovely and assisted me with booking my reservation for a special event of mine. She offered the most private dining areas of the public dining. She understood my vision and reassured me that I would have a great experience. Her confidence and kindness confirmed my reassurance with using this establishment for my private event. Upon entering the day of the event, I was welcomed by the hostess who kindly brought me to the back to set up my event. I soon met my AMAZING and patient waiter, Brian, who kindly offered his help and service. He also offered champagne to my guests upon entry. The service was ongoing thought the event. The food was excellent for brunch. (Most notably the burger, Italiano & Burrata). I can't forget to mention the desserts and coffee menu!!! (Pistachio tirimasu and bread pudding). Everything was excellent. I loved the ambiance. Industrial vibe with outdoor closed dining, with strong heaters for winter. Beautiful string lights with unobstructed views of NYC. You will not go wrong booking with Battello. Whatever your event is, I highly recommend this establishment. read more

Lovely location right on the water with a great view, which is beautiful as the sunsets and in the evening. Happy to that there were several parking garages within walking distance and free on site parking. Great dining experience. My coworkers and I started at the bar for drinks as we waited for others to arrive. I ordered the Perfect Pear mocktail drink which was very refreshing. Once seated our waitress provided insight into the menu concept and provided great food recommendations throughout our dinner. I ordered the Mediterranean Branzino which was very flavorful and light as I was not too hungry. For dinner, the banana cake yummy. read more
