I walked 30 mins from the train station hoping this chicken salad was worth it..... and yupppp can…read moreconfirm. It sure was This chicken salad is everything you want in a quick, satisfying bite. The texture is spot-on...perfectly tender chicken folded into a creamy, dreamy dressing that's rich without being heavy. Every bite is packed with flavor: a little tang, a hint of savory seasoning, and just the right amount of crunch to keep it interesting. It's the kind of chicken salad that feels comforting but still bright enough to stand alone on a plate or piled high on toast, crackers, or greens. Simple, flavorful, and incredibly well-balanced...honestly, it's one of those dishes you keep going back for spoonful after spoonful. If you love a creamy, flavorful chicken salad, this one checks every box.

On our way back from New York, we picked up our car and wanted one last quick, authentic food…read moreexperience before heading home. I had been saying for days that I was craving a good Italian deli sandwich, and my partner came across Vito's & Son Italian Deli in Hoboken. Well, it does not get much more authentic than this. What an experience. You know how some Italian restaurants say they make you feel like family? At Vito's, we actually felt it the moment we walked in. The welcome was warm, genuine, and immediate -- the kind of hospitality that cannot be faked. As we browsed the extensive deli menu, I had to ask what "mutz" meant. I am from Chicago, where we usually say "mozz," so this was my first time seeing it written in what I can only call New Jersey-ian. Without hesitation, they gave us a sample of their fresh, in-house-made mozzarella, and it was absolute perfection -- soft, fresh, creamy, and exactly what fresh mozzarella should be. We took several subs to go, and every single one was delicious. I had The Vito's, which was incredibly satisfying -- packed with that classic Italian deli flavor and everything I had been craving in a sub, and then some. My partner had The Sophia Loren, which was also full of flavor and definitely worth ordering again. My mom had what I ordered as a custom Caprese sandwich since I could not find it on the extensive menu -- mutz, fresh basil, tomato, balsamic vinaigrette, and herbs. It was so fresh, simple, and delicious. We also tried the arancini. The traditional one brought back memories of what used to be some of the best arancini in Chicago at Monastero's, which sadly is no longer around. That is not a comparison I make lightly. The cheese arancini was also wonderful, and the sauce was divine. Personal preference: I could have used just a touch more salt in the sauce, but the flavor was still excellent. Of course, we could not leave without dessert. The cannoli had the perfect balance of softness and crunch, and the filling was delicious. And naturally, we had to take home a pound of that fresh mutz. When we got home, we turned the leftovers into the perfect little Italian deli dinner. We thinly sliced the remaining halves of the subs, added fresh mozzarella, sliced tomatoes, balsamic vinaigrette, and wine. It became a charcuterie-style dinner that felt like the perfect ending to the trip. Taking a detour through Hoboken was absolutely worth it. Some Italian restaurants claim to treat you like family, but at Vito's & Son, we truly felt it. We are already planning another stop on our next trip because we still need to try the homemade freezer dishes -- and, of course, the homemade tiramisu. If you have not been to Vito's & Son Italian Deli, do yourself a favor and go. Authentic, welcoming, delicious, and completely worth the detour.

It's always good to check out a new business in town; I was happy to try out 'Done Right Doner…read moreKebab' recently. Confession: it's my first time trying Doner Kabob so I don't have an exact comparison. If you've had shawarma, falafel or gyro before, there's familiarity there. I tried both a lamb pita and a chicken sandwich (1 and 2 on the menu I believe.) I preferred the lamb over the chicken (a bit dry), and both sandwiches really perked up with the added sauces (white sauce and hot sauce). Healthy onions and greens are on the sandwich or pita, and the meat seasoning is on the mild side. I tried an order of falafel, which is served on hummus, and fries. Falafel was great, not oily, and the hummus is tasty. The fries are seasoned and not my fav. Very nice people and service, about four indoor and outdoor tables, super-clean place, pricing similar to a lunch at Shake Shack. 3.5 - 4 stars I'd say, and definitely worth a try.

For my spreads, I got hummus and paid extra another side of spicy feta. Everything was tasty. I wish I had also gotten some tzatziki on the side since the chicken was dry otherwise. I mostly dipped the chicken in the hummus and used the spicy feta for my pita. The fries got a little soggy the way they were packaged, but they reheated nicely in the air fryer. It was so much food, I had leftovers for lunch the next day. I am a fan!

Garlicy and saucy but again, not soggy. Love their pizza! Great for families and they have outdoor seating.

I came to Napoli's in Hoboken to satisfy my craving for some casual and homey Italian food - and…read morethey did just that. We tried the 1/2 vodka (add pepperoni) 1/2 spicy buffalo chicken pizza in the personal size, as it seemed to be two of their most popular pizza flavors. This "personal" size pizza was actually quite sizable, 3 slices of each flavor and definitely enough to share alongside our pasta. Both flavors were good, but maybe my expectations were too high. The vodka sauce was flavorful, but I was a little disappointed by the amount of pepperonis they gave us when we added that topping to one side. The buff chicken had a good classic buffalo flavor but wasn't that spicy, and came with your choice of either ranch or blue cheese drizzled on top. Although a little soggy as expected, the pieces of fried chicken tender on the pizza were well coated in Buffalo flavor. However, the Blackened Chicken Pasta honestly blew me away. Tons of large chicken pieces, peppers, and onion all tossed together with penne in a creamy Cajun sauce. The blackened flavor really came through and this pasta was so yummy and satisfying, while not being too heavy or overly creamy. Penne was also a perfect al dente! My only gripe with this establishment was the cleanliness. Our tap waters had a pretty bad taste, I actually ended up ordering a Coke as I did not want to drink the water. It smelled a bit sour in the air as well. However, many of the best family run restaurants out there are often not the cleanest or nicest ambiance, so I wasn't expecting top tier hygiene - but the bad water taste made me slightly uneasy. Our server was very attentive and patient with any questions we had, and made our overall experience wonderful. It seems like this is a really popular to-go spot for locals in the area, the dining room is smaller but decorated with cute NYC subway theming which I loved as an MTA enthusiast. Would return for the Blackened Chicken Pasta!
