Best pizza crust! Family shared the Principessa and Diavola pizzas, and love both. Husband had a beer and I had a Paloma. Green Chile in the Paloma was prominent - not your traditional grapefruit style Paloma. Service was great and loved the exposed brick and art work. Highly recommend.
Apulia is hands down the best restaurant in Hoboken. The food here is the closest you'll get to authentic Italian food without actually being in Italy. Everything is phenomenal from the pasta, pizza, chicken dishes, appetizers and salads you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Beyond the food, the service is excellent. The servers are great, and the owners are just as welcoming, which really adds to the experience. If you're in Hoboken and like Italian food, you have to go here. Easily the best spot in town and a place I'll keep coming back to with family and friends for years to come.
I've lived in Hoboken for 5 years and this was (regrettably) my first time at apulia. We came with some friends for a light dinner and drinks and it didn't disappoint. The uccelletti and caprina pizza specifically stood out. Each dish had such an amazing and unique flavor profile and all of the ingredients felt so fresh. Although we ate a lot, we didn't leave feeling uncomfortably full. The service was great as well. Although the drinks took a little longer than expected to come out, they were worth the wait. We sat out back by the wall with the growing vines and felt like we were in a small town in Italy. Will absolutely be back!
Great food, drinks, service, ambiance and hospitality at Apulia! We started off with espresso martini and Prosecco - great way to start the dinner Upon our server's recommendation we went ahead with lemon basil pasta and vegetable pizza. I loved the lemon flavor in basil pasta. There are many vegetarian options available here. I want to try cacio e pepe as that was also in my list. But me and my friend were full after a pizza and pasta. Loved sitting outside in the backyard on a summer evening. The service is amazing here. They took an extra mile with that respect. I would definitely come back to this place.
Ordered: Glass of Rose is a Rose (~$13): Cantrina Valtenesi, Sicily Calamari Fritti (~$21): ocean caught Polpette di Nonna Angelina Curci (~$19): beef meatballs Margherita Pizza (~$18) Lemon Basil Pesto Linguine (~$23): lemon, basil, pine nuts, pecorino, parmigiana Aya's take: Apulia seems to be a spot known & liked by Hoboken locals. Even on a weeknight, a majority of the tables inside were taken so I'm glad we were able to snag one without waiting. We started with the Calamari Fritti and Polpette (meatballs). The Calamari Fritti turned out to be my favorite item of the night. The calamari was unbelievably tender, the breading was light and fried to a golden brown, and the drizzle of lemon on top really brought out those great flavors. It was so addicting and kudos to them for also including the tentacles. The Polpette was a good try but didn't really stand out to me. It was a good source of protein considering the other 2 dishes we were waiting on didn't have much. The Margherita Pizza was well-executed from the thin crust to the cheesiness to the fresh tomatoes and basil. It was a solid pizza. The Lemon Basil Pesto Linguine had no essence of lemon at all. The pesto was bright, fresh, and herby, I liked the pine nuts, and the linguine was al dente but it was missing something! It could have used that lemon or garlic to contrast the pesto flavor. Everything was fresh, the atmosphere was wonderful, and the art on the walls was awesome. Good try!
One of the best dining experiences in New Jersey -- thanks to Jessie! Hands down one of the best service experiences I've ever had! Jessie was absolutely amazing...super friendly, attentive, and knew the menu inside out. He made a few food recommendations and every single one was spot-on... seriously mouthwatering delicious! You can tell he genuinely cares about giving guests a great experience. It was so good we came back the very next day. The place was packed (as always), but they still managed to fit us at the bar. Sadly, the bar server wasn't quite as sweet and the food recs didn't hit the same. The restaurant itself is super cute: cozy, romantic, and full of charm. Between the ambience, the food, and Jessie's incredible service, this spot is a total gem.
Amazing environment, the food was delicious!! The service was fast. We got the spaghetti Enzo, caprina pizza, maestro pizza and Margherita pizza all 10/10!!! It's great because it's not super touristy and not super overwhelming with people/wait time etc. just got chill people and a good time. Outdoor and indoor seating available!
Haven't been here in a long time and wanted to go back to check it out! Glad we did! Excellent meal! We loved the service and food was very good! They have a huge outdoor patio and plenty of seating inside too. Everything tasted fresh and was perfect to share! We had salad, burrata (special), pizza and tiramisu. So good!! Thank you for the great evening!
Once again another amazing dining experience!!! Great cocktails (bar selection is incredible) The appetizers were not only delicious but the portions were generous. Our server was knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Main course did not disappoint, very flavorful and done to perfection. This place is well worth a try and will probably become your next favorite!!
Here's the deal: Apulia is a neighborhood spot and good for a date night if yin get there on the earlier side, some younger families enjoying the delicious Neapolitan pizza. It has a small outdoor dining section on Washington St. inside has a small bar area where a full menu is available. The bartender was very helpful with the menu and is great at recommending cocktails! They're true mixologists and have some wild combinations to try! The main room offers tables for parties of 2-6 people. and leads to a back outdoor room ( it may be closed it?) but it looks like a good spot for a larger private diner party) The food was incredible: not shown are the delicious calamari & eggplant appetizers!! The pizza was a seasonal special of butternut squash & caramelized onion OUTSTANDING! Definitely recommend and will be back again
When in Hoboken -Apulia. This was our first time here for dinner with our Son and Daughter-in-law. At first I was disappointed as I thought we were going to our favorite Turkish restaurant in Paterson. Well thank God we didn't. The venue is fantastic. Beautiful "just the right size" dining room. Our server was very attentive. He was friendly and helped us decide what wine to select. The food was absolutely delicious! I wanted the pizza but was deterred by the chicken pallard (forgot the actual name check-out the menu) - loved it. My kids and wife ordered 3 different pastas that were made to perfection. The calamari fritti, some of the best I've ever had! Fresh and crispy not oily. The table next to us ordered two pizzas. OMG did they look great. Should have had the pizza. Going back for the pizza!
Had the pleasure of sitting outside in their back patio section. It's cozy and cool ambiance. The food was spot on! Great pizza and I believe the pasta is fresh made.

What can I say that hadn't already been said? TIP: The "Margarita" is regular monzarella cheese pizza. The "Principessa" has the Buffalo Monz, sauce and basil which I thought was a traditional Margarita pizza. It's their best pie in my opinion. Only small gripe is that the bottom crust is so thin that the pizza is very floppy and nearly impossible to pick up, especially with the giant cut slices. I cut them in half. I like the ample amount of sauce though. Good service, sometimes excellent depending on which server you get. Everyone's friendly there. It's one of my fav restaurants in the area. Book in advance on Resy for Fri/Sat night since they get busy. Bar seats have to be reserved for eating too! Tables are tightly packed together so if you don't like squeezing in to your seat and being a part of your neighbors convo then it's not for you. love their wood oven pizza and the Spaghetti with Bolognese sauce but they have other good pasta, salads, etc, It's small place across from The Madison, 14th&Wash. Mon closed. NOT BYOB. Pricey! $$$$ read more

Pizza was awesome here I will definitely go back and try the other food that they have but I can say that the pizza does tend to be a little floppy. You just have to ask for it well done. read more

Thought this place was going to be out of business in 6 months when opened as though food was good was not sure what would bring people in. Since then they got rid of gelato area and got full bar. Food is good as only change I make is ask for well done pizza as find their pizza undercooked as they cook quickly on high temp. If made one change and it is selfish is to add some American Chardonnay by glass though understand focus on Italian only wines. read more

July 2022 update -- better as ever -- great food and staff. And now with vino too. ! The assortment of apps and starters remains great, super fresh and expertly done. Pizza is simply the best around. Dining outside in rear patio on a hot afternoon was very pleasant. read more
Came on a random Sunday night. It's a very small restaurant with a cozy outdoor seating in the back. There wasn't much circulation in the restaurant so it was a little warm sitting inside especially with the ovens going. For food we ordered the Rucola salad, the Mariana pizza and added mushrooms, and the Rustica. The food was pretty amazing. The pizza dough was really some of the best dough I've had. It was soft and fluffy which I prefer. The salad was excellent as well. Great portions! Got some red wine I didn't care for because it was too warm for my liking. While the food was great, the service wasn't all that great. We waited a while to be greeted at the table while two servers walked by deciphering whether they were going to help us. We almost walked out when a random 3rd sever came and took our order. When we needed something the other two servers just let us sit not coming over but definitely looking at us while the 3rd server was not around. A really strange occurrence but at least the food was good. I'm being generous with 4 stars solely because of the pizza read more

Came here and ordered a bottle of wine, the prosciutto pizza, and pesto pasta, and WOW. This place blew my mind. It was the best pizza I have had in Hoboken, hands down. The pasta was perfect. The pesto was not overpowering and tasted delicious and fresh. I would 100% recommend and plan on coming back soon. read more

I came back to Apulia and ordered the same exact dish - the Cacio E Pepe. I really loved it the first time I had it and was craving to have it again. But I'm not sure why, the restaurant decided to change the pasta to a Bigoli pasta, which is a very thick wheat pasta. I don't think the Pecorino cheese worked well with it so I was a little disappointed. My wife ordered the Orecchiette E Rapini and she did like that dish. read more
Went for an early dinner with coworkers after volunteering at the community center around the corner. It was a good choice. We ordered a few apps and a bunch of pizzas to share. It was plenty of food even tho they are personal pies. I enjoyed the seasoning and how thin they were. The aperol spritz was also solid. read more

Food was delicious and loved the tiramisu. They have a pretty good selection of vegetarian options. Should be aware that they are extremely strict about reservation time which includes arrival time and allocated time to stay which is no longer than hour and half. Service was prompt and did not have to wait long for food. read more
