The food was okay, but not particularly memorable, and the prices felt a bit too high for what we got.

This is a great spot for a nice dinner date :) I had a refreshing Aperol spritz + the arugula salad with grilled octopus! The octopus had a nice char and not too chewy! Absolutely perfect! I will have to come back to try the pizza :) P.S. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. read more

Had a great time at Blue Eyes and would most definitely come again! I ordered the Margherita Pizza and the Penne Alla Vodka - my personal favorites - and the food came very quickly. The pizza was incredible, the dough + texture was perfect. The only reservation I had was with the rest of the pizza as it was a tad soggy. But regardless I still liked it a lot. The penne alla vodka was delicious as well and I had no complaints. read more

Came here tonight for an 8:30pm reservation on Valentine's Day. I understand this is the busiest night of the year, so I didn't mind waiting a little longer than usual and was enjoying conversation. We ordered our food (just two pastas) and then nearly an hour went by without a single staff member checking on us, refilling our drinks, or anything at all. The staff also didn't even know what tables they were bringing food to. After getting our waiters attention and asking when our food would be ready since it had been over 45 minutes at this point, only one of our dishes came out. The lobster ravioli only had 4 raviolis for almost $40 and tasted completely rotten. We ended up unfortunately just having to leave as it was getting late. I'm so disappointed by this and was really excited. We got ready and drove an hour to come to this location, just to be completely let down. I'm not sure what went wrong here, but now we ended our Valentine's Day with empty stomachs and no where to go due to this running so late. read more

If you like food that is microwaved and cold ,then you should dine here. Overrated because of the view Seats are uncomfortable and waiters are slow Language barrier. Won't be returning. Overpriced!! read more

Food and wine just ok... you really pay for the view. It's a little pricey for what it is Service good read more

Attentive server, great view of the waterfront, and a great dating spot. Removing one star for the pizza, it looks great but once you grabbed the first slice, the pizza fell apart read more

Blue Eyes Restaurant - Tartufata Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Great setting fun waiters. Food is only mediocre Italian and the service was atrociously slow because of a large party taking all the attention and dishware. Reasonably priced, probably need to go back on a less busy night to give it a fair assessment. Absolutely horrid singer that needs to keep his day job. Despite the issues there was a good family feel. read more

More than the food and drinks, I liked how the staff treated their customers, they also gave some amazing recommendations, even when the restaurant was pretty full.. Best Pizza ever!! Delicious dishes ... Great Menu. I loved my experience there and the ambience is awesome, overlooking the Hudson River and Manhattan skyline read more

AVerage food at inflated prices. Service was slow, slow, slow. Did I mention the service was slow? Despite the service the staff felt entitled to add a 20% tip into the total (without mentioning it). The tab still came with the lines to add a "recommeneded tip" of 18. 20 and 25%. Another point off for trying to get a double tip. Will not return. I prefer good food and honest service. read more

We've (only) gotten pizza here a few times and it's always good. To us it's prob the best pizza in Hoboken, and is comparable to a few really good pizzeria in Manhattan too. MUCH better (and even slightly cheaper) than Razza in Jersey city which supposes to be one of the best pizza in US?! Unfortunately it seems this place will be either closed or turned into a cafe later this year. It's the ONLY waterfront restaurant in Hoboken and really sad to see it go. So go pay a visit now when you can - a pizza, a drink and the view of NY, you cant go wrong! read more

Food it's really authentic Italian, atmosphere and service unbelievable, amazing skyline view!

This review is for takeout. The food is very good!! I have gotten takeout 3 or 4 times. Every time I get the same thing. Spaghetti with white clam sauce. Clams always are very fresh and cooked perfect. That's hard to find especially with takeout. My husband always gets some sort of pizza which is great too!! Would recommend. read more

Blue Eyes Restaurant - Pizza Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

The great: -The views! If you are sitting outside (the only place I've only sat) you will feel like you are right on the water. Yes, it's the Hudson, but who cares? You are getting the most perfect view of the NYC skyline. -I can't recall if they've always had such a big beautiful outdoor dining section or if that is just this past year and a result of Covid, but I am here for it. -The pizza. Thin crust and delicious! I've tried the prosciutto & funghi and the ortolano because I am a sucker for all things mushroom and both were great. I loved the broccoli rabe and roasted pepper on the Ortolana so I may call that one my favorite. The not so great: -The pasta was really not great. I thought the sauce tasted canned. -The cocktails. I had a few when they were doing their to-go stand early in the pandemic and have tried their sangria when dining in. I thought it tasted pretty watered down. What I recommend, go for the great views and the good pizza! Get a glass of wine with it and you will be oh so happy. read more

Kudos to Blue Eyes Restaurant for being the only restaurant in north Jersey that was available for a 13 people reservation with such short notice! I've never been here before and I was a bit hesitant because of the reviews but my family and I decided to give this place a try. We visited on a Saturday night around 7:45pm. Parking in the area? It's Hoboken haha! I was lucky to snag a spot right in the front of the restaurant. Even though it was metered parking I only had to pay for the spot until 9pm (free parking after 9) It was as easy as downloading the parking app to pay. Blue Eyes is overlooking the NYC skyline which is absolutely beautiful. If you visit during the hotter months you can sit outside and enjoy the weather. We sat in the back of the restaurant with a view of NYC. Since we were a big party we were divided up between two tables right next to each other which is fine since the parents sat at one table and the young adults sat at another. Our waiter was super nice! He greeted himself and even shared some laughs with the table. He did warn us in the beginning that the kitchen was very busy and food may take longer than normal. He also stated the only food item that was coming out quick was the pizza because they had a brick oven. I started off with a strawberry and prosecco drink which was pretty good. The tables were brought complimentary warm bread and oil and the choice of bottled or tap water. We then started to order appetizers in which some apps came out and some did not. My cousins and I ordered Caesar salads, calamari and burrata in which only the calamari came out. The calamari also came with fried shrimp and sauce; it tasted fresh and I would definitely recommend it as an app! For entrees, 3 out of 4 of us ordered penne vodka; my sister ordered the white pie. The penne vodka was decent but i've honestly had better. After we finished our entrees we still did not receive the Caesar salads, burrata and the white pie. When we informed the waiter, one Caesar salad came out (when we ordered two) and the burrata. The burrata was good but I was bummed that it only came with two small breads with bruchetta on top. Again, we asked for the Caesar and pizza and it finally came out. My sister was a bit annoyed as the waiter stated pizzas were moving the quickest. We could definitely tell that orders were forgotten. Also, trying to stop the waiter to get water refills was a project in itself! And that bathroom? It was craziness! There is only one little bathroom stall. If the restaurant is busy be prepared for a wait. The bathroom is located right next to the kitchen so it can get hectic waiting in line. My family and I didn't get out of the restaurant until 10:30pm. Almost 3 hours! Yes, we were understanding of the kitchen being busy but us sitting there for that long made us tired for sure. I would give this spot another try when it's not so busy! read more

I will preface this saying we didn't come for dinner and it likely affected the whole experience.. but that's why I'm giving it a 2 rating versus a 1. When we came in the host (owner?) was super friendly! It was later in the evening, and we had already had dinner at a different restaurant. We wanted desserts, some nice drinks, and the view! We were very quickly shown our table and given menus. The server was friendly until I mentioned we would likely just be getting drinks and desserts. He frowned and took away our silverware and proceeded to ignore us for a good half hour! Honest to goodness he spent that 30 mins talking about Italy and his daughter to the table behind us! He never glanced our way or he would have noticed I was trying to order. A bit peeved, I decided no wine. Just desserts and cappuccinos. Surely that would be an acceptable order right? He came out with our desserts relatively quickly after we ordered them... but no drinks. We weren't even served tap water. We were given no napkins since he took them. And the cutlery? Spoons that were meant for tea/coffee. After 10 mins I ask about the drinks. He says they are coming. My husband finishes his dessert. Still no cappuccinos. We wait another 20 mins (now at the restaurant for an hour) until the cappuccinos FINALLY arrive. I had waited for a beverage before eating my dessert fully and the chocolate lava cake I ordered was definitely cold. The server was unapologetic. He never came back to check on us and I had to ask a different server for some water. This was a horrible experience! I would have a left a really nice tip knowing I was taking up a server's time with just desserts and drinks... but this was abominable behavior on his part. Shame on this server for only looking at how much he could earn!! read more

The Mr. and I were able to get away for the weekend and decided to hit up NJ for the opportunity to dine indoors. While searching tons of reviews, I came across Blue Eyes which was within walking distance of the W Hoboken. I'm not gonna lie, the reviews scared me a bit but sometimes it's worth the gamble and Blue Eyes was better than expected. The restaurant staff were pleasant and accommodating as were originally seated in the enclosed area with great views of the NYC skyline. However, my toes were freezing so I asked to move indoors and luckily a table was available. I mean, why suffer the cold in NJ when I could've stayed in Manhattan and ate with my coat on? Anywho, we proceeded to order the Margherita pizza (with burrata) for starters, branzino for him and salmon for me. I must admit, the pizza was one of the best we've had and easily rivals any of the historic joints in NYC/BK/Bronx. The salmon was prepared a bit longer than my prefrence and the mustard sauce that supposedly accompanied it was more creamy than mustard-y. It was also too large of of a portion and could've easily been 1/2 the size. I felt terrible throwing it away but I wasn't taking it back to our room. His branzino, was cooked perfectly but would've benefited from a lemon sauce of some sort as he kept stealing mybsauve. Nevertheles, he still demolished his meal and unlike me, left nothing behind so I guess he was happy. The place got pretty packed around 8p before we left and we had to hunt someone down to bring our check and then to pay our bill. Overall, we enjoyed our meal but would likely stick to pizza or try one of their pasta dishes should we ever come again. read more

Great service, and AWESOME PIZZA!! This can resume my experience here. Great views of New York City , a lit bit of waiting time, but that was expected because of the location, the only less of great thing was the old looking outside area! If you go there try the Metro Pizza!! read more

The view , pizza and wine is the only thing good here. We ordered penne vodka with chicken and the chicken was not cooked thoroughly. The eggplant parmigiana was ok . The other problem is the bathroom situation. There is a one unisex bathroom and the line was horrendous. read more

This is a great waterfront location right on Sinatra Drive and bang next to the new Frank Sinatra statue installation. They don't take reservations, which can be good or bad but if you time your arrival during off peak hours, it can work out rather well for an impromptu plan. They offer wine and beer, but no hard liquor. Food is pretty decent and service is prompt, but they aren't good at substitutions so you must order everything as is from the menu. They have plastic covers on the windows which are rolled up during the summer months, but are a bit of a bummer during the colder months as they are hazy and don't offer a great view of the river and skyline. It's definitely in our rotation every so often - specially when we have out of towners visiting, but only if Halifax is booked solid and we haven't pre planned in advance. read more

The location is key here. It sits on the sidewalk of Frank Sinatra Drive overseeing the NYC view. I was not all that happy about the food. Had the Clams Oreganata, Penne and Vodka, and a specialty pizza. If it wasn't for the location I wouldn't come back again. FYI: No hard liquor here. Just beer, wine and soda. read more

When I saw the 3.5 star rating I was reluctant to go to Blue Eyes. My friend was insistent so we went for lunch. Walked in and the place did not look clean and the music was BLASTING. Had the fried Calamari which was rather bland. The tomato sauce was straight out of a can = not home made. I ordered the linguini with mussels and it was the most boring pasta I have had in my life. I took two bites and no more... What a waste of money. To top it off, the bread was stale. The limited Pros: The staff was quite nice. The Peroni was cold. The view impressive. Will never go back. read more

Excellent service ! Great meal They don't carry hard liquor however they do have wine and beer. Char octopus with lemon wash very fresh and tender now chew or over cooked Pizza was great as well , , but mostly one goes for the great view and then after your meal a great walk - read more

I went to Blue Eyes for dinner with 6 of my friends this past weekend and although the food was tasty, the service was not great. It took a while to get our first round of drinks and then the apps came out at different times with us wondering if the second one was ever put in the system. We didn't get our entrees until almost 2 1/2 hours after we sat down. Again, the food was great but I just wish the service was on the same level. There were barely even checks ins from our server with updates or apologies. read more

Ambiance is awesome in the summer time wether you sit inside or outside. Food I can't say the same as the ambiance. Very basic bland and nothing special. Service is absolutely trash. They rather flirt with other staff members and no focus on people needing drink refills or checking on us at all. They should have staff stay off their phone as well maybe they will pay more attention to customers instead of social life. I would only Come back for the ambiance and to have a. Drink read more

Frank would be rolling over in his grave! Please stop associating your restaurant with Sinatra's legacy name. This place is an absolute dive. I wouldn't even sit down, that is how dirty looking, run down and neglected it looked. The staff could not have been less interested as they scrolled their phones after barely greeting us and seating us. The view is lovely if you can even see it through the yellowed milky haze plastic enclosure panels. I thought it was some kind of joke.. Do yourself a favor and get a bulldozer. Start over and learn what the name Sinatra really means. read more

This was truly so disappointing. Went with my SO for Valentine's Day. We were offered a limited menu, which we understood, but when we asked about vegetarian options the waitress could not answer any of our questions. She was also exceptionally pushy, which is ironic because we never saw her again after our question about the menu. Someone else came to take our order. We ordered a salad and one pizza and were left alone for OVER AN HOUR after our food was delivered to the table. The food was okay but not worth 40+ dollars, even with the view. We felt completely abandoned by the staff. We even watched the table next to us receive their food and while one order was fine the other was incorrect. Nobody ever came to check in on them while we were in the establishment, leaving the individual with the incorrect food sitting there. Disappointing experience we have 0 plans to return to. read more

Blue Eyes has definitely gone downhill in recent years. It was not busy yet we waited 35+ minutes for our food, which then came out cold. When we sent it back to be warmed up, it took another 25 minutes after I got up to speak to our waiter twice. Finally, the portion sizes were small. In a town with so many great Italian restaurants, Blue Eyes fails to deliver. We will not return. read more

I really like the food at Blue Eyes. Their pizza and pasta qualities are top-notch. Whenever I come to eat here with my family, I have a good time. I am sure the view doesn't hurt. It's absolutely gorgeous, especially in summer. Also, they are very friendly to my little one. My daughter kept waving at our waiter and he always smiles and waves back. He was super sweet. read more

This is a great spot to stop and grab a drink and a pizza after work. It has the perfect view of NYC. The gnocchi with pesto sauce was superb. However, the bathroom definitely needed a cleaning. I couldn't bring my toddler in there bc it was just bad and had to leave to get her home. read more

I came here with my colleagues on a nice day in August, and we were greeted with a couple friendly waiters. Our assigned waiter did a great job of explaining what was available on the speciality menu and what they were unfortunately out of at that time. Also did a great job of explaining unique drinks that they have such as the Italian sparkling lemonade and white sangria--which both were delicious! The food was very tasty--we ordered pizza, calamari, shrimp, caesar salads, chicken parm, and french fries. There weren't any complaints at our table! The pizza was authentic, and a nice size--they say their personal size, but I thought they were definitely sharable (about 12-14 inches whole in diameter). Lovely area in Hoboken, definitely will return in the figure -- sorry I didnt take pics, I was too hungry read more

It was just OK. Waiter was young and the only good thing was it wasn't busy we got right in and the food was just OK. I think there could be better places to eat in Hoboken and will try something new next time read more

Visited on 8/6/20 Clean environment Staff had masks on/ seating compliant w social distancing Beautiful view of NYC regardless of where you sit Absolutely delicious sangria! Calamari deserves bragging rights! If you go, GET THE CALAMARI Outside of that, we waited 20-25 minutes before anyone even came around to take a drink order. We had to flag someone down and it really wasn't that busy. I wasn't impressed with the swordfish- it was very bland to me. read more

In my opinion, one of the more underrated restaurants in Hoboken. It has a fantastic view of the NYC skyline. Get a wood-fired pizza and a cocktail and enjoy the location. Also they have great specials and a raw bar in the summer. Recommend read more

The bold headed security/waiter denied my son (5 year old) entrance to the bathroom. Seems blue eyes are for some only.

What a setting... inside Sinatra Park on the Hudson with absolutely stunning views... tough for the food to live up to that stage but guess what? IT DOES!!! The Burrata was perfect with firm skin punctured by my fork to reveal a smooth, creamy center. My friend's insalata was perfection and my grilled polpo was amazing. Jerry and Alessandro were perfect hosts who came out to greet my friend on finding out she is about to be married. Michaele was a very attentive server. And what was so spectacular was the wine list which is decently priced for such a restaurant experience. Their Montepulciano at 45 bucks is such a bargain we shared two bottles, something I NEVER do. If in Hoboken, GO! If in NYC, get on the PATH train or Ferry and GO! I am sorry it took me so long to finally get here. Worth the viaggio! read more
