    The best desserts in Hoboken. Nanny celebrating her birthday at her favorite spot Leo's.
    Joann B.

    My #1 Italian food restaurant choice. Love the Cavetelli and broccoli and stuffed Calamari. I've been going here since I was a baby. 60 years and loving it. My grandmother Mary Pepe passed at 99 and 1/2 and this was her favorite spot. It's like having dinner with your family but better because they can't fight in public. Bring cash and Don't try to jump the line, sit at the bar, have a bar pie and enjoy the wait.

    What a winner this place was. If I lived in hoboken it would become an easy go to spot! Our waitress was so nice and helpful and every part of the meal was fantastic. Their bread was freshly baked, the meatballs in red sauce were delicious, the clams oregenata were shucked fresh and nicely breaded. The chicken Milanese was our favorite entree the chicken cutlets were nice and crispy! The spinach carbonara was good but it was more like a vodka sauce than a carbonara but we enjoyed it anyways. Would highly recommend trying to anyone in the area, even the prices were super reasonable.

    An iconic Italian restaurant in Hoboken. While unassuming on the outside, this Sinatra-dedicated restaurant serves authentic Italian food in a cozy environment. Their food is delicious; however, the prices are a little more expensive for the amount of food (I had the Sinatra Gamberi). Their wines are full of flavor and they provide full glasses. But I will say that the service is impeccable. The staff are extraordinarily friendly, full of heart, and for some of the locals, know them by name. While it is a small restaurant, reservations are not accepted, so be sure to get there early to get a seat.

    Great food! Great service! The atmosphere is great! Definitely would go back if I lived in the area.

    A classic Hoboken Italian restaurant with cozy Sinatra-infused vibes! I surveyed the Hoboken Sailing Club members to see what people thought was the most Hoboken-y Italian restaurant in Hoboken because I had family coming in from California. Leo's was one of the top suggestions and it was exactly what we were looking for. The restaurant is bustling and has a welcoming, warm ambiance. There are string lights that adorn the old school tin ceiling and the bar has a nice energy to it. The food is your standard Italian fare. I got the eggplant parm with linguini and thought it was pretty solid. The service was fast and the staff is friendly. I had called a few days earlier to see if they took reservations. They do not so I asked about wait times and the helpful guy on the phone said "it depends on when you come in and how many in your party but we do have a full bar and fast turnover". He was right! No wait for us on a Friday night (part of five) and the food came out relatively quick. I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a classic old Hoboken spot with decent food, cozy Sinatra vibes, and nice service!

    Fantastic option for a cozy and traditional Italian meal in Hoboken! Ambiance - very homey and classic vibe. The Frank Sinatra memorabilia is a nice touch! Service - We came on a Saturday night and there was no wait for a table. Food came out hot and very quickly. Our server was very nice and helpful. I wanted to order the Tri Gnocchi that comes with pesto, pomodoro, and alfredo sauce, but mentioned that I didn't like alfredo sauce. He said they could easily replace the alfredo with vodka sauce which was awesome! Food - Apps: Caprese Salad and Deep Fried Ravioli - the caprese salad was very fresh and tasty. I wish they had added some basil on top, but overall it was nice! The deep fried ravioli left much to be desired. It was very lightly fried and did not have the crunchy exterior that I was looking for. Would definitely skip the fried ravioli as an app. Main: Tri Gnocchi (sub Alfredo for Vodka sauce) - this was absolutely delicious!! The pesto sauce was perfectly herby and garlicky. The vodka sauce was creamy, but not too heavy. The pomodoro sauce provided an acidic balance to the other sauces. Would highly recommend this dish if you're craving multiple types of sauces! TL;DR - cute place for a casual Italian meal! Would skip the fried ravioli but recommend the Tri Gnocchi!

    This is a place to definitely go and sit down and enjoy the decor, it's a treat (all Frank Sinatra everything, jukebox, huge rounded bar, hanging lights, stained glass!). I got a chicken parm sub to ago around 5pm on a Thursday. The staff was nice. The meal tastes homemade.

    I've been coming here all my life. It has plenty of memories of family dinners, drinks with pals, good pizza, and my favorite the muscles fra diavolo. Don't forget to sop up that left over sauce with the crusty fresh bread and butter! This time I had a meatball bar pie it was delicious, calamari, muscles fra diavolo, and some pinot Grigio. The service was excellent, and the ambiance is amazing! Great history and food if it's good enough for ole blue eyes it's good enough for me!

    My review is for Flour, the full-service restaurant attached to The Pizza Shop, a takeout spot. I…read morehad been eager to try their pies, as well as their full meals, but only just made it to their dimly lit, hip and happening main dining room. The space was not large, but they really made the most of it, offering a decent number of tables with reasonable space between them. My friend and I were quickly seated and immediately greeted by a charming server that opened our bottle of wine (it's BYO) and offered us still or sparkling water. I had read in other reviews that you had to pay for water, so I was not surprised by the $6 bottle of Saratoga that wound up on our bill. In addition to our engaging server and the happening atmosphere, the food was similarly incredible. We decided to order a load of things to share, so that we could try a greater variety. We started with two appetizers that were seasonal Spring additions to the menu. The Hamachi Crudo included five thickly-sliced, tender pieces of Japanese yellowtail sitting in a broth of rhubarb aguachile and topped with white strawberries and basil seeds. It was an unique blend that we would not have expected to work, but boy was it delicious! The sweet toppings infused a load of flavor into an otherwise mild fish. We also enjoyed the Fava-mole, a creamy puree of fava beans studded with balls of hand-pulled mozzarella and pea tendrils, all drizzled with zesty ramp oil. I had not been sure what to expect from the dish, but it offered fresh, bright garden flavors. We also decided to share a pasta course and an entree. The Fettuccini was tossed with spring truffles and maitakes in a light, yet heavily aromatic, wild mushroom cream sauce. It was one of the best dishes I had had in quite some time. Then, as we were waiting on our seafood entree, we received a second pasta, courtesy of the Chef. I had mentioned that I had heard rave reviews about Flour from a server at Heirloom Kitchen, a top NJ restaurant. Apparently, our waiter had let the Chef know about that glowing praise, and the kitchen further verified that positivity with the generous gesture. In fact, they wound up sending out the Linguine with white clam sauce, razor clams, and wild ramps, the other dish about which I had been most curious anyway. Well, it was another winner! It was garlicky, herbaceous, and rich with flavors of the sea. Speaking of seafood, we next received the Branzino 'Bahn mi', a perfectly cooked piece of Mediterranean sea bass with Vietnamese sausage and pickled vegetables. The branzino's crispy skin and flaky, moist interior were excellent, and we loved all of the other smoky and briny flavors on the plate. After all of that excellent food, we would have loved to try one of their appealing desserts, but we were just too full. Between the ambiance, welcoming vibe, and delicious cuisine, our Flour experience was simply divine! It has now became one of my favorite restaurants in the area, and I cannot wait to try their pizza at some point as well.

    FYI: this place is a BYOB only restaurant. They do not serve liquor so bring as many bottles of…read morewhatever as you want. Now that that's out the way let's get into the food! 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.
