    Came here on a Saturday evening, and the restaurant was very busy. We had about a 45-minute wait for a group of three, but ended up sitting at the bar while waiting for a table. The restaurant itself is quite small, so it felt crowded, but that may have just been due to the forecasted rain. It was a bit hectic trying to scoot and adjust my seat as waiters passed behind me to serve tables, all while delivery drivers were coming up to pick up orders at the same time. Because of that, we decided to just order our food to go and stuck to drinks at the bar. The drinks were solid. I ordered the Hugo Spritz and really enjoyed it. For food, I had the Chicken Marsala, while the others in my group ordered the Chicken Parmigiana with Spicy Vodka Sauce. We all enjoyed our meals and thought the flavors were great.

    Absolutely incredible pizza. Best I've had outside of Italy. The drinks were also fabulous, well done Caesar salad, amazing affogato with high quality ice cream and espresso. What more could a woman want?

    If you want delicious Italian food - come to Margherita's! I'm so glad I finally came to try it out! We started with the special - black truffle arancini (5/5) crispy on the outside and flavorful inside with a delicious vodka sauce included. The mozzarella sticks (4/5) were also pretty good, the marinara paired with it was delicious. For entrees I had the penne vodka with chicken cutlet and it was my favorite penne vodka I've had! The pasta was cooked well, the vodka sauce was delicious and the chicken was well cooked and incorporated (cut into bite sized pieces. For dessert we had the tiramisu - great overall favor but the top layer of ladyfingers was a bit dry for my preference but overall still great flavor and I loved the texture with the chocolate chips incorporated. Service was excellent! Gabriella was our server and she was exceptional with recommendations and checking in on us to make sure everything was good. Ambience at Margherita's was laidback but nice, it was dimly lit so there's some date night vibes there but also a great place to bring your family and/or dinner with friends. Parking is metered street parking also available through ParkMobile app.

    Spicy Lobster Pasta
    Kevin's C.

    MY NEW OBSESSION? Ok, so listen Linda. I was seriously craving pasta this evening, and wanted to have some delivered. I looked through the delivery apps for pasta and came across Margherita's. They had great reviews, and the menu caught my eye right away. The main thing that stuck out to me, as in, had me salivating, was their spicy lobster pasta, made with vodka sauce and capers?! Excuse me?! Now, this was under their weekly specials, so my heart would be ABSOLUTELY BROKEN if I can't get this regularly :-( so hopefully, it becomes a regular menu item. Anyway, I ordered the spicy lobster pasta, and it was en route. So, let me start with the minor cons (again, minor). They didn't send any napkins or plasticware. Perhaps you're supposed to request it through the app, by I didn't see the option. The second con is, it doesn't come with a side of Parmesan cheese. It's an extra $2 if you want a side of Parmesan, but i think it should come with it, and I only say that because Parmesan cheese is always a part of the Italian restaurant experience. You order your pasta, it's served, your waiter offers you freshly grated Parmesan and freshly cracked pepper. My final, very minor con is, I wish my pasta was a bit more al dente. Even though it was angel hair pasta, I still love a good bite. Now, having said that, let's get into the pros, which made me look past everything! First off, the dish is beautiful! I mean, you eat with your eyes first, no? Right. It just looked so pretty. The pasta, the beautifully done vodka sauce, the capers, the angel hair pasta, the chunks of lobster, I mean it all just made me so happy from the looks alone. Now, along with a dish looking good, we need it to taste good too, no? Right. So, I get my first fork-full. It's still nice and hot and I taste that vodka sauce......girl, that was some of thee best vodka sauce I've had. It tasted like LOVE, you understand me? Just, perfection. It had a nice little spice to it, you got a lovely, salty burst from those capers, the angel hair was a great choice for this dish because it's so thin and pairs nicely with pretty much anything. The yummy, meaty chunks of lobster were heaven-sent! Just, delectable! I was in love right away. I told myself that I'd be eating here regularly, and need to go in person. This dish was just divine all around. It also came with bread that soaks up that vodka sauce, beautifully! Omg, I've been missin' out! I will be ordering from here again, and you should too! I look forward to trying more menu items, and going in person! I'm OBSESSED!

    Work of art - Truffle Honey Fig Pizza.  Excellent!
    Daniel B.

    Small, loud, dimly lit and fun! Third visit here and consistently great! Tonight the pappardelle bolognese and their special 12" pie with fig, arugula and honey truffle oil, topped with thinly-sliced prosciutto was outstanding! We started with PEI mussels and they were fresh, clean, plentiful and the marinara was piping hot and delicious! Add a couple (OK, more than a couple) of Limoncello Mojitos and woohooo - great dinner!

    The ambiance is pretty nice - the inside is quite cozy and chic! And superb outdoor seating for summer! The food is quite average - we liked pesto pasta and fettuccini Alfredo. But the fig pizza was a turn off. The figs on top of pizza were not even roasted as can be seen in the picture. They were basically raw. The service is nice. It was not difficult to get a table on a Friday evening.

    My favorite place in Hoboken. I've never failed to get a spot and I've only gone on weekends. Their atmosphere is so cozy and family oriented and their food is to die for. Always my top choice when hosting visitors.

    Special pasta
    Kayla L.

    I have to admit I hit the jackpot with this special. The regular menu is a bit to basic for my liking, but the staff are friendly, the place is cute, and an added plus, you can actually make a reservation for it in Hoboken which is rare nowadays

    I came here for dinner with my family of five after helping my sister move into her apartment down the street. The staff was very nice and the service was excellent. Our meals were very good across the board. I ordered the chicken parm with vodka sauce, and it was outstanding--the pasta might honestly be the best I've ever had. The drinks were just as impressive. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and I'd highly recommend this spot to anyone in the area.

    Penne Arrabbiata
    Nina L.

    The freshly made pasta here was so delicious! Ambiance - cozy space and decor - candles on the tables are beautiful and warming Service - attentive servers - food came out quickly Food: Complimentary bread was warm, crusty and delicious - mozzarella sticks: cheese stretch was perfect! And this classic appetizer was fried perfectly and delicious - Penne Arrabbiata: pasta was perfectly al-dente! I loved how the hot cherry peppers added some spice and tang to the dish. Marinara sauce bought so much fresh tomato and herb flavors

    Fried Calamari
    Shelby A.

    First time here, and will definitely be back. They have a full bar with very reasonably priced drinks and bottles. The bread brought to the table comes with olive oil and balsamic drizzle is extremely warm and fresh. We opted for a calamari appetizer, which was the perfect portion to split between us three. We decided to all order different entrees to share and try. The penne vodka is absolutely divine and a must try. The pizza is fresh, and flavorful. The chicken francese was absolutely cooked to perfection. The only downside is there are no reservations so from time to time expect a wait for a table. Will definitely be back to enjoy their dessert menu and drinks.

    Spicy Sausage Orecchiette
    Christine A.

    First time coming here for someone's birthday. We were a party of 5 and it was a Thursday around 7pm. So it was during the dinner rush. Only one table available. The place was packed. Lots of families and kids. Noise level was pretty high. The ambience is very casual, like a pizza joint. No tablecloths. Nothing fancy. It took at least 45 minutes for the food to come. We were starving. My friend said his chicken parm was dry. I had a mozzarella appetizer, which was huge but a bit boring. I ordered Spicy Sausage Orecchiette--bland and the pasta was overdone. I had 2 Aperol Spritz. So much ice, I didn't feel the alcohol at all. Portions are medium to large. Our server was friendly but he didn't check in with us about how we doing. My advice. Stick to the pizza. That looked good. Bottom line: I'll keep exploring Hoboken for a standout Italian place.

    Spicy Vodka Tortellini
    Elizabeth G.

    Our favorite lazy Sunday dinner spot when we want some good comfort food. This place never disappoints and is consistently good. We tried a peach and honey pizza that was on the specials menu and it was DELICIOUS.

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 came here with 4 hungry friends, and so we indulged by getting a lot of food and sharing everything family style. For starters we got the whipped ricotta and spicy-ish Caesar salad. They were both delicious but I'd go back just for the salad alone, had a nice kick and sooo much cheese on top, YUM! Main plates: we shared 4 diff pastas. The Mexican street corn, spicy rigatoni, cavatelli, and fettuccini. They were equally good but my favorite was hands down the fettuccini and rigatoni. Everything was so creamy and well seasoned. The ambiance: low moody lighting. Cool plates and attentive and kind service. I'd def recommend for date night with your lover our group of friends.

Also, not sure what's going on with their soda machine but I wanted Sprite and they tried twice and it was definitely not Sprite. It tasted just like sparkling water. I raised concerns but the waiter just looked at me like I was crazy. They left it on the bill even though I insisted that what I got was not Sprite. It's super dark in this place - that's part of their vibe. They have some black light and neon lights but overall very dark. Probably should've have picked this place to catch up with old friends that I haven't seen in a while. It was also loud so hard to hear the person 2 people down from me.
