Margherita's should add the fig pizza on their special menu to their regular menu - it's just that good. We also did a traditional salad and added grilled chicken. The mozzarella cheese was very fresh but it definitely needed more dressing. There was only the drizzle shown on top. I wish the waiter frequented our table more often or I would have asked for a side. BYOB - $10 per bottle corkage fee. I think charging to open a bottle of champagne is a bit excessive, although a lot of places in Hoboken unfortunately do. read more

Honestly appalled due to service. Host had no idea what was going on. We walked in as a party of 6 and asked for a table. There were no open big enough and there was a 15-20 minute wait-that's not the problem. We were starving so we decided to leave but then had the idea to just split 3 and 3 so we went back and asked if the two OPEN tables were under reservation. They said they were not, but refused to seat us because the manager said he would be losing out on full (sits 4) tables. I'm sorry, you're not willing to sit ur tables unless we're a party of 4? Doesn't make any sense. Now they've lost out on 6 customers, starving and ready to eat. A shame because their food looked yum read more

The good was good 4/5. The cappuccino was my favorite thing there. We did the calamari as well but it wasn't as fried as I like it. Over all place is cute the outside is not but the interior is well decor small with good lighting. The vibe was work friendly since we came in at lunch and the server was at managing all tables. For a not to busy lunch hr. read more

Went on a summer afternoon and sat outside. The personal size pizza is first rate. The Homemade Pasta is just that, with a flavorful sauce. The Shrimp Fra Diavolo was very fresh and not too spicy. Friendly and consistent service. My go-to for a nice casual style meal. read more

Love Margherita's- the food is fresh & flavorful. The special peach, mozzarella pizza with prosciutto was special.

Just had our fourth dinner here, so figured it was time to write a review! Our favorites: + Mussels ($16.95) - Super plump and bathed in the most delicious garlic white sauce that I end up drinking like soup because it's sooo tasty. Very consistent as well--we've ordered this all four times and each time we've gotten plump mussels. + Pappardelle Bolognese ($24.95) - Fresh, homemade pappardelle pasta with ground beef, pork, and veal, topped with dollop of ricotta. (Taken from the menu.) Pasta has great texture and the bolognese is nice and chunky with a good balance of meat and tomato flavor. + Tiramisu ($11) - This is my ideal tiramisu--not too sweet, lady fingers are nice and soaked with coffee, little shavings of semi-sweet chocolate throughout. Absolutely delicious and the best tiramisu I've had in recent memory. With this being our fourth visit, the above is our go-to order for me, my husband, and toddler and together it makes a five-star meal. We've tried some other things that were less impressive: Zucchini Sticks (not memorable), Lobster Ravioli (filling didn't have any chunky lobster), Spicy Sausage Orecchiette (I think we liked this but two pasta dishes is too much for us). We usually eat around 6pm and have never had trouble walking in and getting a table, even on a weekend. But we've noticed it usually fills up by 7pm. read more

My first visit to Margherita's, and I'll definitely be back! I know they were closed for a while because of a remodel, and they did a great job on the space. It's quaint and rustic with lots of exposed brick and hanging greenery. We came in for an early dinner at around 5:30 and it was fairly empty, but within an hour every table was occupied (and on a Thursday too). So, even if you don't plan to visit over a weekend I suggest looking into a reservation. The menu is large with all of the Italian classics, plus some interesting entrees on special. Pastas are $16-$22, and meat / seafood entrees are $20-$30. Pretty standard for the area and this type of spot. My sister and I shared a ceasar salad and the pappardelle bolognese. The split the salad into two individual portions which I always love. The salad was a dressed a little heavy for me, but luckily the dressing was creamy and delicious. Next time I'd just ask for a little less, or maybe on the side. The pasta absolutely stole the show. This dish normally comes topped with ricotta, but for an extra $3 you can sub for buffalo mozz and for an extra $8 you can sub for burrata. Because we were only sharing one main we decided to go big with the burrata. This was the best decision possible. Burrata is good standalone, and above a meaty bed pasta it's even better. The meat sauce was so good and flavorful. My only complaint is that the noodles were soft, I wish a bit more al dente. Portions are large! A salad and one pasta entree split amongst two was more than enough. Plus some tasty bread and olive oil to kick off the meal. Hoboken has an overwhelming amount of Italian eateries, and Margherita's is definitely not one to overlook. Mangia! read more

This was a cute, warm Italian restaurant we tried out in Hoboken. They had a very family friendly and homey atmosphere. We started with a bottle of red wine which served about 6-7 glasses for only $30. We also got another one towards the end of dinner for the same range which we thought was an absolute steal. Their espresso martinis and mojitos were also an absolute hit! We started with calamari which was so crispy and delicious. For our main course, we got chicken marsala, chicken francese, and linguini with clam sauce. Everything tasted absolutely amazing, fresh, and delicious. One thing to keep in mind is that they only take walk-ins, no reservations, but we were seated immediately after arriving. I couldn't recommend this place more if you're looking for a cozy Italian dinner spot in the area, and great service to top it off! read more

Went here on a whim to try this place in person. I always see people sitting outside but we sat indoors. I don't care for their outdoor seating set up. They have a lot of tables that are kind of on the sidewalk which is too close to the people passing by for me. I got an aperol spritzer which was really good. I typically don't like the aftertaste of aperol but this drink had the perfect amount of aperol that I didn't notice the after taste. For an appetizer we got the calamari which was underwhelming. The flavor and sauce were good but they were basic calamari rings. For a meal I had the chicken parm and I spiced it up with vodka (there's an up charge to change the sauce which I think is unnecessary) and I got the wheat rigatoni. It's in very small print that they have wheat pasta and the way the server looked at me, I'm assuming people don't order it often. The chicken parm had a good amount of cheese and sauce ratio. The chicken was a good size, definitely better than when I had it at take out. The rigatoni was definitely a nice touch. My friend had the meatballs and some spinach. The meatballs were moist and enjoyable. The menu is very simple and basic. There's not much on it but some people enjoy simplicity. I was surprised and disappointed not to see an eggplant parm or dish on the menu at all. Overall it's a decent Italian meal. I would come back if I'm not in the mood for eggplant. Also I noticed that people brought wine and beer with them so I suppose it's both byob and they have some alcohol. So cheers to that. read more

Unfortunately, not that best for the price. Burrata Salad the worse I have had. I could have just gotten the Trader Joe's Burrata and it would have been better. Ate it was soo hungry. Please go to Porto restaurant in Edgewater to know what I need about the Burrata. In the other hand the Honey, Fig was a bit better. Still not worth the price. But, oh well. Will not be coming back, sorry. read more

What better first review of 2020 than my last dinner of 2019. I've been oh so patiently waiting for one of my favorite BYOB spots to reopen and on a walk down Washington the other weekend, I was delighted to see it finally was. No reservations but they do allow you to put your name on a list via phone, and not just in person, but you have to be able to make your table within 10 minutes of being notified. No problem as there are a million bars all around to grab a drink beforehand. Armed with two bottles of wine, we got our table around 8, pretty spot on to when they let us know to be ready for. We started with the mussels in white sauce and could not get enough bread to dip in it, so good. Me and my friend were both craving seafood pasta so we got the Margherita's seafood pasta for two. We could have fed another person there was so much food. But it was delicious so I ate well past my threshold. Mussels, shrimp, calamari, all. so. good. We got it in the red sauce and it was perfect, topped with lots of parmesan cheese. So, the table next to us was terribly loud and rude. Just so terrible. Nothing at all to do with the restaurant and we never ever held the restaurant accountable but they were incredibly sweet and treated us to coffees and desserts on the house to make up for what wasn't there fault to begin with. Our table split the tiramisu and cannolis. The cannoli was the better one for me, and although the tiramisu wasn't amazing, it was pretty good and satisfied my sweet tooth. And it's always perfect to end the night with a cappuccino. So happy they are open again and cannot wait to come back! read more

I ordered a pickup for seafood pasta(the one has their name in it) for 2 tonight and when my buddy said the mussels are tiny I laughed... then not anymore. Not only are the mussels thinner than the pasta noodles, some of them taste funny. I throw away the ones remaining closed after fully cooked. The garlic sauce is still great and the server is friendly as always but the food is simply not worth it. Remember it is just September right now seafood should not taste that bad. read more

5/5 for decor, ambiance and cocktails. Really great for family meet ups and date nights. When I went on a Friday night it was extremely loud and hard to hear, so keep that in mind if you are looking for an intimate night. 3/5 for the quality of food. I chose to get the penne vodka and maybe it was a bad night for the kitchen but the pasta was extremely overdone. It was very mushy and they add capers to their penne vodka which I personally wasn't a huge fan of. I only ate a few bites just because of the bad pasta texture. 3/5 for price. I don't mind spending almost $30 on a plate of pasta if it's really good, but unfortunately did not meet my expectations for that price range. read more

We came here on a Friday evening. The place has nice outdoor area with a good vibe. We ordered three pasta dishes, pappardelle bolognese, fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and a spaghetti with marinara sauce. The food quality was below average (chicken had a weird taste) and the service was slow. Overall a bit of a disappointing experience. read more

Stopped here for lunch and had the rigatoni with meat sauce as well as the fettuccini Alfredo. Both were super mediocre. Maybe it's a lunch thing? Won't be back to find out. read more

Highly recommend this spot! I came here on Saturday around 1PM. No need to wait there were tables open, which was wonderful. I got the sweet sausage hash, which was divine. It was a good amount which a delicious yolky egg. The bread was delicately buttered and toasted. I also got an espresso martini, which was perfectly strong. The Aperol spritz was very refreshing too. My friend had the bolognese which was also a great pick. read more

Solid 4! Haven't been back in years so I was excited when we were able to grab a table Saturday night around 7pm for 3! Our server was very nice and we didn't feel rushed out at all despite how packed it was both inside and outside. We ordered Caesar salad and Burrata. Great to share! We then ordered the Mussels, You Want a Pizza Me and Seafood Margherita pasta (for one) it was huge. The pasta was very fresh and delicious. I loved everything but would likely try a different pizza next time and pasta since they had a lot of delicious options! We also had 2 bottles of red wine- I thought they were BYOB but they aren't!! (I believe they have a corking fee) I am looking forward to coming back- great location and overall good meal!! read more

Was so excited to try Margherita's this weekend, but was thoroughly disappointed by the service. Less than 5 minutes after sitting down, we saw a huge water bug (big cockroach) walking in the restaurant. This is not to say anything about the cleanliness of the restaurant -- water bugs are not indicative of a dirty place. But when we told the server about the water bug, they barely attempted to handle it and did not even apologize or try to make up for the experience. On top of that, our server forgot to put in our side order, and never came to check on us once we received our food. While we were debating if we'd get a nightcap around 9:40, someone turned off the music and left the vibe feeling very awkward. The food and drinks we did order weren't enough to make us repeat customers. Stick to another Italian spot on Washington street! read more

WOW. I've been wanting to try this place forever and I finally did and WOW.... I was NOT let down! Food was a little pricy but the service was great! They attended to our table often which made us happy! The ambiance of the restaurant was really great! It wasn't over crowded and I really enjoyed that. I feel like everything was so great! I will 100% be coming again!!! read more

Came here recently after a long time, and a full rotation of Italian restaurants already occupying my weekend Italian cravings. I looked at the menu and the first thing I noticed was the chicken parm dish is better-priced than most of the competition in town, I think $26 (a lot of places are pushing $30 now). I would not, however, say the chicken parm was better than its competition. It's average, typical pre-made cutlets thrown in the oven with cheese and covered with sauce on the plate, came out a little tougher and drier than a freshly fried cutlet of course, but still good to eat. I think this is common practice although Leo's and 10th St fry their cutlets fresh, it seems. The house-made spaghetti was very good though. The couple next to me were tucking in to some mammoth looking creamy pasta dishes, I'd probably go with that next time. There's a $6 cork fee if you bring your own wine, so it's technically BYOB while also serving their own booze. I think the main appeal here is the great house-made pasta and the BYOB option, otherwise it's not a standout in a sea of Italian restaurants in Hoboken. read more

Enjoyed the Aperol Spritz along with the Pizza Margarita and their Penne alla Vodka while sitting outside in their patio seating area. Food was excellent and the server was attentive. Casual and relaxing ambiance - perfect for a casual chat or to catch up with good friends. Highly recommend. read more

Ok wow this place is 5 stars just for the burrata alone. I don't think I've ever had such fresh and creamy and absolutely stellar burrata before. We ordered one more after we devoured the first one. We decided next time we come- each person will get their own personal burrata. No sharing. TOO GOOD. Also the bread that comes with it is divine. Perfectly toasted on the outside and soft on the inside. But the pastas came and drinks came and they were all mediocre at best. The ravioli skin was too thick and filling was nothing to rave about. The eggplant for some reason looked and tasted like fried tofu. The penne vodka was disappointing. The only pasta that had robust flavor was the FUSILLI W BROCOOLI RABE AND SPICY SAUSAGE. That was really great except every pasta was over cooked. I wish they got it al dente. For our drinks- the peach margarita did not have any peach flavor whatsoever. It was just a plain margarita. Service was 10/10 though. Super nice staff and allowed us to order off the dinner menu during lunch. So we were super grateful for that. GET THE BURRATA THO FRFR!!! read more

My husband I stopped in right before they switched to the dinner menu and shared the eggplant parmigiana with noodles instead of bread ($3 extra). It was the perfect amount of food for us to split and was delicious. Everything about the restaurant seemed just right. They had music playing that was easy to hear but not too loud. The lighting was dim but not so low that it was hard to see. It was comfortably warm inside and service was excellent. If this was a local spot for me I would visit weekly. read more

The food here was pretty good and the wait staff was really nice. I'm personally not a big fan of super low light places, but it could have been the time of day I went to. There was a bit of a wait for everything so I wouldn't come here if you're in a rush to go anywhere. read more

I'll start this review by saying social distancing is not recognized here, as customers who sit at the right side tables are not separated by 6 feet from other parties. If this bothers you, I suggest you do take out. I came here on a Sunday for a late lunch. It's a small but quaint restaurant. Bread was served, and while it was a bit tough, it's still free bread. I opted for the Fusilli with Broccoli Rabe & Spicy Sausage, and other members of my party got the Chicken Francese and the Chicken parm. My Fusilli with Broccoli Rabe & Spicy Sausage was tasteless and the bottom of the bowl was filled with the white wine reduction. It was not fun to eat, and I ended up picking at most of it. I tried a small piece of the chicken francese, which was flavorful and filling. The chicken parm was enjoyed by members of my party. I saw a very cute pink drink that I chose to try. It was supposed to be watermelon fig but mostly tasted like fig. I did not enjoy my drink. Prices are average for the portion sizes, but I'd stick to their pizzas because they looked good and are moderately priced. read more

Best chicken cutlet sandwich in all of Hoboken. Hands down. BEST bread. So warm and soft and crisp. With chicken cutlet and peppers and arugula and tomato. Amazing. So worth it. The penne vodka used to be the best in the world (a few years back, before remodeling) but it's not as good anymore. Still has capers tho. read more

Outstanding small Italian restaurant! I came here on a Friday night without a reservation and was told the wait would be 45-1hour. They sat us down quicker than expected but 100% worth the wait. All of the food was outstanding and I definitely recommend getting the baked clams as they were some of the best I have ever had. Pasta portions are very large and filling. Vibes were really good on a Friday night. read more

Mouthwatering pasta! My friend raved about the good pasta at Margherita's so she brought me to try it out. The place has a cute romantic vibe with the decor. It is a small space though with a lot of tables inside which I did not like. Other than that we were sat quickly and the waiter was very sweet. We only had waters since we had been drinking prior. We got our food pretty fast. My bolognese was the best I've ever tasted. The meat sauce had such a nice flavor and the ricotta gave it a nice kick. I also love that it was served with pappardelle. I tried my friends pesto pasta since I had never had that type of pasta before and wow!! I thought the pesto taste would be strong but it was not. So delicious! Overall it was a smooth experience and I'm definitely returning to get more pasta! read more

We were in town visiting our son and his fiancé. He brought us to Margherita's. We started with a table for four, but at the last minute his fiancés plans changed so that she could join us. We needed to change to a table of five. The staff seamlessly moved us to a larger table. The meatballs, chicken parm, pizza, and pesto and pasta; and service were all great. We will definitely be back! read more

So after going in person once and having a pretty iffy experience we definitely wanted to go back and give them a second chance. We went rather early tonight before they got busy. We were greeted instantly and given our choices of where to sit. We started with the peach margarita and a bottle of red wine. The peach margarita I'm told was really really good. We ordered the delicious fig snd truffle honey pizza. It was amazing. It was exactly what we were craving today. We went for the Caesar salad with shrimp and vodka chicken parm with cavetelli. Honestly that chicken parm is fantastic. I wouldn't get anything else there personally. I usually order that in most places around but nobody does it better. Lastly we ordered the pistachio tartufo for dessert. Another fantastic dish. It was perfect for the summer heat and really tasteful. The service was on point throughout the entire meal. This is exactly how we expected it would be and most likely caught them on a really off night the first time. We will without a doubt be back especially with some of the best Italian around! read more
