Chicken picatta
John B.

Had a very good experience here last night. Service was 5/5, drinks 5/5, apps 4/5 and my entree was 4/5. I also think pricing here is solid and nothing felt like a ripoff which is becoming more common in today's day and age. Will certainly come back to try more dishes. Got the long hot peppers for the appetizer and those were very good. Thought the portion was a little on the smaller side and thought the stuffing inside could have had more sausage. My entree of chicken picatta had exceptional flavor and the egg batter was the perfect texture. Capers nice and tangy and the sauce was very tasty without being too salty. I believe the linguini was homemade. I also felt the portion was slightly lacking. Everyone else at the table agreed that the food quality and taste is incredible here. Would recommend coming.

Burrata and Grandmas Meatballs and watermelon spritz

Good food and drinks! And so baby friendly. They have a huge back room, a changing table in a family restroom, and the wait staff is sooo sweet to the babies. I never thought of this as a baby friendly restaurant but add it to the list.

Chicken parm
Natalie T.

The service here was very lovely. We had rotating waiters and they all were very helpful and attentive and kind. I loved the options on the menu and will definitely be back to try more dishes. The ambiance was dark, romantic and perfect for date night. We ordered Granny's Meatballs as an appetizer - delish! The ricotta on it hit the spot. We also ordered the spicy rigatoni and the chicken parm. This was probably the best chicken parm I've had in a long time. The chicken was crunch and well breaded with the cheese perfectly melted and the sauce was delicious. The serving was also enormous, this is easily a dish for two people. The spicy rigatoni definitely tastes homemade and is quality, but not quite the spicy kick I was looking for and the sauce was more of a pepper and onion tomato base rather than a specific sauce. This is something I'd eat at home which means it's certainly delicious, but not quite what I was expecting. I'm looking forward to trying their burrata and ragú next time!

Tiramisu

Holiday decor was great! Food was very good, gluten free pasta available & the staff ensures you are aware of contamination. We went to the back room that also had a holiday party going on, was a bit disappointed to be squeezed in there, being bumped into constantly. They should have allocated more room for the party and not try to also fit in additional tables for other guests. in the future, will be requesting we sit in the front area.

Shrimp Tavolo
Michelle L.

Service is friendly and welcoming, informative and patient. Food was great! I eat Italian a lot so didn't expect to be given options that would greet my tastebuds with such delight! Both the bar and resturant gave me a great experience and night out. Me and a friend were there at dinner time, and everything was truly well made, hot, and so very delicious! We made reservations, so the Seating was fine, in the back room of resturant. The space was clean and atmosphere was happy, very social and just positive vibes all around. Five stars and highly recommend this gem.

The ambience and warmth of this place is gorgeous, and the food is delicious with big portions. The menu has a great variety, and cocktails are yummy too. Would recommend!

Breaded Chicken Cutlets
Derrick N.

I liked chicken cutlet. Thought it was one of the better chicken Milanese's I've had. But taste wise the burrata was just not there. It made my stomach hurt a bit. Which is a shame as everything else was good.

Stuffed French Toast
Stephen L.

Very good Italian restaurant in Hoboken but could use a few slight improvements. I came for brunch and ordered the Stuffed French Toast ($15), which was good but I thought they could've added more of the cannoli cream inside. Also, while the bread was soft, I would've preferred if they used thicker bread like brioche or challah bread. The way they did it, it was just two pieces of thin bread put together. In addition, the menu said it had chocolate chips and maple syrup on it, but they were no where to be found. Still, it was a decent French toast. I also tried the Italian Country Chicken and Sausage Gravy ($23). This was actually delicious. The chicken was cooked really well to be tender with a crispy crust. The sausage gravy was just the right consistency and paired well with the chicken and potato wedges. The sunny side egg on top completed the dish. The restaurant itself has a nice interior with one section with a bar and a larger section in the back with a nice lighting fixture in the center and tasteful Italian and festive decor along the walls. The dim lighting and exposed brick walls give the place a warm and homey atmosphere. We came on a Sunday afternoon and there were only a few others dining at the restaurant so it was a bit of a quiet environment. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The service speed was pretty fast. Overall, while the French Toast could use a few improvements, the chicken and gravy was great, plus the nice environment earns Il Tavolo di Palmisano a solid 4 stars from me.

Breaded Chicken Cutlets
T. G.

Stopped by, finally and thought overall it was good. We tried the chicken cutlet and spicy rigatoni. We stopped back 1 other time and sadly can't remember what we ordered. I do remember that the butter in the little plastic packaging contained at-least 2 that were opened and empty? Ugh. Not ideal but just an oversight. Overall they have plenty of seating inside and out and it's close to our apartment so we will be back - would love to try other items!

Veal chop with vodka sauce
Marc M.

We had the pleasure of having an incredible dinner at il Tavolo. The food was out of this world. It reminded me of going to my grandmas house where everything was just super fresh and made with care. It is 100 percent one of the better Italian spots in the area. My fiancée had the short rib that was just fantastic. I had the spicy rigatoni with a veal chop that was easily one of the best in the area. The portions are huge so expect to bring food home. The severs were just incredible as well. Jessica was very attentive and personable. She took time to spend a few extra minutes to get to know us and was so inviting. Conrad was friendly and super helpful as well. We will without a doubt be going back just based off of their service, the food was the extra bonus. Side note the martinis were top notch as well. Thanks for a great experience!!!

Chicken Tavolo, shrimp special
Justine W.

Wow, I was blown from this place. I was surprised how good the pasta was! We started off with the fried calamari and a complimentary bread with butter. I got their shrimp special pasta and my bf got the chicken tavolo. The shrimp pasta was a vodka based pasta with a kick of nice kick of spice. The pasta was thick and chewy which paired so well with the vodka sauce and shrimp. The chicken tavolo was good as well, and I have never had tavolo and it was interesting to try and something I have never tasted before. We came on a Thursday night and surprisingly it got packed around 7:30pm, so I recommend making reservations. Service was great, the server checked on us frequently and refilled our waters. The ambiance was dark but really nice with the decorations. Overall, I would come back!

Bruschetta
Rachael R.

WOW let's just say I wish I could eat here every day of my life. I dream about the spicy vodka chicken parm !!! The decor and ambiance is so cute and romantic but could also be more casual during the day; I saw a family having pizza together in casual clothes. However, it's an extremely good date night spot. Service was fantastic; the bartender (we ate at the bar) was so friendly and quick, the host was accommodating in trying to find us a spot. Overall will probably be going back here like tonight and I suggest you do too :)

Caeser Salad
Griffin C.

Stopped in here for a casual Italian dinner. There's healthy discussion going on in the dining room so I wouldn't say it's quiet but it didn't bother me at all. Staff is nice and attentive. I had the Caesar as an appetizer which was good, nice flavor on the dressing Entree was the ravioli in tomato sauce. Pasta tastes fresh and it was good. I think I should have had the vodka sauce over the tomato sauce. I think the regular tomato sauce lacked some flavor I was looking for but I am nitpicking here. Overall good, will be coming back often for quick and casual Italian dinners.

We were super impressed with Otto Strada. We arrived early on a Friday and were happy there was no wait. Reservations are not accepted. We chose outside seating and we got a lovely seat in the shade under the covered area. We were greeted by Jeremy who offered us water. He was friendly and we had a nice conversation. He was new with the restaurant, but knew the menu well. It's nice to see a young man working and have pride in his job. Our waiter Chris arrived soon after. He was a great waiter. He was also super friendly and was able to help us navigate the menu and helped me with Gluten free options. We opted for the pear salad. I got a limoncello chicken and my husband got a pork chop. All the food was super delicious. It's a challenge for me to get a good meal being gf and dairy free now and this was perfection. Chris was able to put things on the side and recommended the perfect dishes! We had dessert also which was a GF banana cake with Gelato. It was delish. My only complaint was I thought the desserts were small and a little pricey. If priced a little less, we would have ordered 2 or 3. All in all it was a perfect experience and evening, and we will be back soon! Highly recommend!

My review is for Flour, the full-service restaurant attached to The Pizza Shop, a takeout spot. I…read morehad been eager to try their pies, as well as their full meals, but only just made it to their dimly lit, hip and happening main dining room. The space was not large, but they really made the most of it, offering a decent number of tables with reasonable space between them. My friend and I were quickly seated and immediately greeted by a charming server that opened our bottle of wine (it's BYO) and offered us still or sparkling water. I had read in other reviews that you had to pay for water, so I was not surprised by the $6 bottle of Saratoga that wound up on our bill. In addition to our engaging server and the happening atmosphere, the food was similarly incredible. We decided to order a load of things to share, so that we could try a greater variety. We started with two appetizers that were seasonal Spring additions to the menu. The Hamachi Crudo included five thickly-sliced, tender pieces of Japanese yellowtail sitting in a broth of rhubarb aguachile and topped with white strawberries and basil seeds. It was an unique blend that we would not have expected to work, but boy was it delicious! The sweet toppings infused a load of flavor into an otherwise mild fish. We also enjoyed the Fava-mole, a creamy puree of fava beans studded with balls of hand-pulled mozzarella and pea tendrils, all drizzled with zesty ramp oil. I had not been sure what to expect from the dish, but it offered fresh, bright garden flavors. We also decided to share a pasta course and an entree. The Fettuccini was tossed with spring truffles and maitakes in a light, yet heavily aromatic, wild mushroom cream sauce. It was one of the best dishes I had had in quite some time. Then, as we were waiting on our seafood entree, we received a second pasta, courtesy of the Chef. I had mentioned that I had heard rave reviews about Flour from a server at Heirloom Kitchen, a top NJ restaurant. Apparently, our waiter had let the Chef know about that glowing praise, and the kitchen further verified that positivity with the generous gesture. In fact, they wound up sending out the Linguine with white clam sauce, razor clams, and wild ramps, the other dish about which I had been most curious anyway. Well, it was another winner! It was garlicky, herbaceous, and rich with flavors of the sea. Speaking of seafood, we next received the Branzino 'Bahn mi', a perfectly cooked piece of Mediterranean sea bass with Vietnamese sausage and pickled vegetables. The branzino's crispy skin and flaky, moist interior were excellent, and we loved all of the other smoky and briny flavors on the plate. After all of that excellent food, we would have loved to try one of their appealing desserts, but we were just too full. Between the ambiance, welcoming vibe, and delicious cuisine, our Flour experience was simply divine! It has now became one of my favorite restaurants in the area, and I cannot wait to try their pizza at some point as well.

I was a big fan of both, especially the ricotta, which was so incredibly creamy. For the mains, everyone's fresh-made pasta was excellent. I ordered the Mexican street corn, which was unique, flavorful, and delicious. I also tried some of the spicy rigatoni and loved it. We ended the night with the s'mores dessert, which was rich and chocolatey. Also, the fact that the restaurant is BYOB is a huge plus! The only downside was that I lost an item during our visit. I had a really hard time finding their contact information online, so I had to go back in person to ask about it, which was a bit annoying. Ultimately, they weren't able to recover it, but the food itself was still outstanding.
