    Principessa
    Courtnay B.

    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.

    Calamari Fritti (~$21)

    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!

    My favorite on the menu: shrimp with Artichoke

    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.

    Caprina pizza

    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!

    Tiramisu - very good!
    T. G.

    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!

    The chicken with Prosciutto di Parma Panino, absolutely delicious! Great value and your tastebuds will thank you.

    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.

    Spaghetti Enzo

    My favorite Italian spot in hoboken with cozy and charming ambiance. The food tastes like it's from Europe with clean great quality. Highly recommend !

Well, it was a pleasant surprise to be back and I actually had an even better time this time than last time. I had the spicy chicken parm with rigatoni and wow, it was actually quite spicy. It was really good, but super spicy! My SFIL absolutely loved it though and killed the rest of my dish that I couldn't finish. Most of the group had the lamb ragu orecchiette and thought it was quite good. Both burrata appetizers were really good and thoroughly liked by the table. Service was attentive and we were never rushed. I really enjoyed that the restaurant wasn't super crowded. There were other tables but they were far away enough that we didn't feel like we were on top of each other.

And then there's Sharon. She came over personally to wish us a happy anniversary, and we found out that it also happened to be her and Buddy's 28th wedding anniversary! Throughout the night, she kept coming by to check on us, giving us a squeeze, making sure we were taken care of, and just genuinely making us feel like family. Before we left, she gave us both a huge hug and made us promise we'd come back. THAT is what makes a restaurant magical. And the food? Incredible. The Sunday Sauce. The scallops. The steak. The gnocchi. The ice box cake. Every single thing we ate was fantastic, and we walked out absolutely stuffed. But as good as the food was, what I'll remember most is how Sharon and her staff made us feel. I actually walked out with my wife and got a little emotional. I looked at her and said, "I think this just became my favorite restaurant in Hoboken." Fourteen years living here, and somehow it took us this long to discover Augustino's. We'll be back. Promise.

While the place had outdoor seating, it was a bit too warm on that day to really enjoy it, so I grabbed us a table inside instead. The restaurant was very dark with only candlelight to illuminate the menu. The acoustics were also not amazing, as the room was extremely loud. However, aside from that, the space had a really hip, seductive vibe. It was also no longer BYO and now offered all sorts of unusual wines, craft beers, and intriguing cocktails. Like on my last visit, we were blessed with a really professional, friendly server. He was a complete delight and indulged my request to try tastes of both the prosecco and Grüner Veltliner before committing to one or the other. Though both wines were complex and delicious, I selected the crisp Casa Coste Piane "Col Fondo" Prosecco from Veneto, Italy. My friend and I decided to share two pasta dishes. The Cavatelli was served with a Moroccan-spiced lamb ragu and topped with sprinkles of sheep's cheese from nearby Nettle Meadow Farm. I was told to mix the cheese into the rest of the ingredients, which were warm and allowed it to melt into a gooey delight. The lamb sauce was so multi-dimensional and really paired well with the funky cheese. It was a delicious plate. We also shared the Triangoli alla Trapanese, which was essentially triangular shaped ravioli that were stuffed with goat cheese. The delicate dumplings were then plated with fresh black mission figs and drizzled with tangy Villa Manodori balsamic vinegar. It was such an unique pasta creation that was truly another winner. Though I sampled less items than on my last trip to Flour, I loved every moment of my experience.

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.
