    Went to Grimaldi's for dinner when we were in town and it was quite good. The restaurant is clean and lovely and you can see into the kitchen and watch them make the pies. We ordered a Margarita and leaded veggie pizza and both were super tasty. Their sauce is soo good. Service was friendly and helpful!

    Cheese pizza.  Delicious!!!

    Great place, service was excellent. The pie was delicious!!! Bonus, they were playing great music I recommend this restaurant.

    Small custom pie
    Kseniya K.

    Delicious pizza. Our two custom order pies were brought out at lightening speed! Didn't feel disgusting after ingesting so many carbs, which speaks volumes after not the healthiest of meals. Medium pie is perfect to split between two. Small pie would work for a hungry man. Large pie is good for a family. Recommend getting a custom margarita pie and adding 2-4 toppings to make it a filling meal. Each topping is an additional $4-5, but it's worth to make your pizza flavorful and vibrant. You can make half a pie one combo and another half, another. A great combination that I loved was meatballs, onions, ricotta, and bacon. Give it a try! Swift and efficient service. Casual, relaxed ambiance. Outdoor and indoor running options available.

    White White with Garlic Pizza (add tomato) & Penne Vodka
    T. G.

    Stopped in on a Wednesday evening - service was very nice and many tables were taken. We sat right next to the pizza oven area, was kind of fun to watch. The inside is a bit small but they do have several tables outside which is great especially if you have a pup! Pizza was excellent, ordered a white pie (add tomato slices +$4) - pie came out hot and fresh from the brick oven. Crust was crispy and chewy. It was very good! We also tired Arugula salad (with dried cranberries, goat cheese & pear slices) it was refreshing and good to share! We ordered penne vodka but sadly this was a total fail. Not flavorful and a bit pricey IMO for just a plain dish. Overall wouldn't order pasta here. Absolutely come for the salad and pizza!!

    Mozzarella cakes
    Kristin A.

    Ordered to go from here via the Slice app and saved 5%. We got the mozzarella cakes and a large Don pie. The order was ready quickly. The mozzarella cakes were pretty good. The pizza was tasty. I liked the sauce. They were a bit skimpy on the pepperoni and meatballs and the dough was a little soft/undercooked in areas but pie was still pretty good.

    Traditional and Margherita Large Pizzas - very good, not too sweet or salty. Attentive staff, outdoor & indoor seating.

    Excellent pies! 10/10! This place never disappoints! I bring fellow crew members here all of the time and they all agree it's one of the best pizzas they've ever had. Sean was the contractor for the original Grimaldi's under the Brooklyn Bridge... Mr. Grimaldi made him a parter and Sean's been at this location for 35 years. The pandemic hit him hard, but Sean took care of his staff and never let them go. Local businesses have not come back... he used to deliver pies to many businesses in the area.. many buildings are still empty as people are working at home. Look no further for excellent pizza!

    This is my second time coming here, first time was over 5 years ago. Came here on a Sunday late afternoon with friends. We were seated promptly after entering. The pizza itself has not changed, solid, filling and delicious. Ended up getting a large half pepperoni margarita pie and salad. The pizza taste similar to Brooklyn Pizzeria, which I believe are related in some way. The place has a warm vibe to it and the service was great. I would def come back here again and highly recommend trying this spot out if your in the Hoboken area. Street parking, good luck.

    Sausage, peppers and onions on a well done pie
    Amelia S.

    Please note in my picture that I ordered the pizza well done. It's supposed to look like that. I've been coming to Grimaldi's for the last decade and they always exceed expectations. Today was no exception. Service was fast and great. Ordered two large pies for plenty of leftovers (it's over an hour drive for us so might as well. Totally worth the drive). Bathrooms are downstairs (please note for mobility issues). Very casual inside with a full bar. Sausage, pepperoni and onions on a margherita well done. Also had a plain margherita. Ordered penne vodka and garlic bread to go. Plenty of street parking but during busy times may take a while. They do accept credit cards with a 3.5% fee. Plain Margherita pie is $20 + $3-$4 per topping. Totally reasonable especially for the quality.

    Margherita Pizza, personal size.
    John G.

    Could this be the best Neapolitan pizza anywhere in the US? If not, we haven't found it, and we've been looking for some time now! We ordered the classic personal-size Margherita Pizza, with a Caesar salad to share while waiting for the pizza to bake in their coal-fired oven. The salad was stunningly good! Made with romaine lettuce tossed in just the perfect amount of garlic, oil, and anchovy, crowned with shards of freshly shaved Parmigiano Reggiano. Unfortunately there's no picture because we couldn't resist diving right in. After what seemed like an interminable six-minute wait, an incredibly beautiful (and blazing hot) creation appeared at our table. So hot in fact that I had to start with the puffy, crispy outside/chewy inside crust! At that point I knew this was a very special pizza, since the crust alone was so delicate and delicious. Neither of us will ever forget our first bites of that flavorful cheese and garden-fresh marinara perched atop that wonderful crust; it was absolute perfection! The interplay of textures and flavors was sublime yet unbelievably delicious, and arguably addictive. It's definitely the best we've ever had and that includes pies we've sampled on countless trips to Italy and Switzerland--albeit not to Napoli, so that's our next stop!

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.

We finally managed to snag a Friday night reservation at 7:30 and I can already tell you this will be the first of many visits. From the moment we walked through the door, we felt like we had been coming there for years. We were greeted so warmly, and within minutes I understood why people love this place so much. 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. From the cool crowd and buzzing atmosphere to the modern Italian food and new beverage list, the restaurant was a real gem.

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.
