My friends and I came in on a Saturday evening and this place was pretty packed. We waited a lil over 10 minutes for a table and were then taken in. We ordered: Garden St Pizza: This was alright - packed with veggies, good. Needed a bit more spice or flavor. Penne Vodka: very very good - the sauce was delicious. Tiramisu: this was very good -- we were really trying to eat every lil crumb of this one. Pistachio tartufo: this was all our first times trying this and this wasn't what we imagined. The pistachio and cherry flavor together wasn't something we enjoyed. The service - impeccable. They were so busy and yet every server was giving utmost attention to everything. read more

Margherita's - Pizza Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Came here on a Saturday evening, and the restaurant was very busy. We had about a 45-minute wait for a group of three, but ended up sitting at the bar while waiting for a table. The restaurant itself is quite small, so it felt crowded, but that may have just been due to the forecasted rain. It was a bit hectic trying to scoot and adjust my seat as waiters passed behind me to serve tables, all while delivery drivers were coming up to pick up orders at the same time. Because of that, we decided to just order our food to go and stuck to drinks at the bar. The drinks were solid. I ordered the Hugo Spritz and really enjoyed it. For food, I had the Chicken Marsala, while the others in my group ordered the Chicken Parmigiana with Spicy Vodka Sauce. We all enjoyed our meals and thought the flavors were great. read more

If you want delicious Italian food - come to Margherita's! I'm so glad I finally came to try it out! We started with the special - black truffle arancini (5/5) crispy on the outside and flavorful inside with a delicious vodka sauce included. The mozzarella sticks (4/5) were also pretty good, the marinara paired with it was delicious. For entrees I had the penne vodka with chicken cutlet and it was my favorite penne vodka I've had! The pasta was cooked well, the vodka sauce was delicious and the chicken was well cooked and incorporated (cut into bite sized pieces. For dessert we had the tiramisu - great overall favor but the top layer of ladyfingers was a bit dry for my preference but overall still great flavor and I loved the texture with the chocolate chips incorporated. Service was excellent! Gabriella was our server and she was exceptional with recommendations and checking in on us to make sure everything was good. Ambience at Margherita's was laidback but nice, it was dimly lit so there's some date night vibes there but also a great place to bring your family and/or dinner with friends. Parking is metered street parking also available through ParkMobile app. read more

MY NEW OBSESSION? Ok, so listen Linda. I was seriously craving pasta this evening, and wanted to have some delivered. I looked through the delivery apps for pasta and came across Margherita's. They had great reviews, and the menu caught my eye right away. The main thing that stuck out to me, as in, had me salivating, was their spicy lobster pasta, made with vodka sauce and capers?! Excuse me?! Now, this was under their weekly specials, so my heart would be ABSOLUTELY BROKEN if I can't get this regularly :-( so hopefully, it becomes a regular menu item. Anyway, I ordered the spicy lobster pasta, and it was en route. So, let me start with the minor cons (again, minor). They didn't send any napkins or plasticware. Perhaps you're supposed to request it through the app, by I didn't see the option. The second con is, it doesn't come with a side of Parmesan cheese. It's an extra $2 if you want a side of Parmesan, but i think it should come with it, and I only say that because Parmesan cheese is always a part of the Italian restaurant experience. You order your pasta, it's served, your waiter offers you freshly grated Parmesan and freshly cracked pepper. My final, very minor con is, I wish my pasta was a bit more al dente. Even though it was angel hair pasta, I still love a good bite. Now, having said that, let's get into the pros, which made me look past everything! First off, the dish is beautiful! I mean, you eat with your eyes first, no? Right. It just looked so pretty. The pasta, the beautifully done vodka sauce, the capers, the angel hair pasta, the chunks of lobster, I mean it all just made me so happy from the looks alone. Now, along with a dish looking good, we need it to taste good too, no? Right. So, I get my first fork-full. It's still nice and hot and I taste that vodka sauce......girl, that was some of thee best vodka sauce I've had. It tasted like LOVE, you understand me? Just, perfection. It had a nice little spice to it, you got a lovely, salty burst from those capers, the angel hair was a great choice for this dish because it's so thin and pairs nicely with pretty much anything. The yummy, meaty chunks of lobster were heaven-sent! Just, delectable! I was in love right away. I told myself that I'd be eating here regularly, and need to go in person. This dish was just divine all around. It also came with bread that soaks up that vodka sauce, beautifully! Omg, I've been missin' out! I will be ordering from here again, and you should too! I look forward to trying more menu items, and going in person! I'm OBSESSED! read more

The ambiance is pretty nice - the inside is quite cozy and chic! And superb outdoor seating for summer! The food is quite average - we liked pesto pasta and fettuccini Alfredo. But the fig pizza was a turn off. The figs on top of pizza were not even roasted as can be seen in the picture. They were basically raw. The service is nice. It was not difficult to get a table on a Friday evening. read more

Small, loud, dimly lit and fun! Third visit here and consistently great! Tonight the pappardelle bolognese and their special 12" pie with fig, arugula and honey truffle oil, topped with thinly-sliced prosciutto was outstanding! We started with PEI mussels and they were fresh, clean, plentiful and the marinara was piping hot and delicious! Add a couple (OK, more than a couple) of Limoncello Mojitos and woohooo - great dinner! read more

I came here for dinner with my family of five after helping my sister move into her apartment down the street. The staff was very nice and the service was excellent. Our meals were very good across the board. I ordered the chicken parm with vodka sauce, and it was outstanding--the pasta might honestly be the best I've ever had. The drinks were just as impressive. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and I'd highly recommend this spot to anyone in the area. read more

The freshly made pasta here was so delicious! Ambiance - cozy space and decor - candles on the tables are beautiful and warming Service - attentive servers - food came out quickly Food: Complimentary bread was warm, crusty and delicious - mozzarella sticks: cheese stretch was perfect! And this classic appetizer was fried perfectly and delicious - Penne Arrabbiata: pasta was perfectly al-dente! I loved how the hot cherry peppers added some spice and tang to the dish. Marinara sauce bought so much fresh tomato and herb flavors read more

The food is delicious! We got a pizza with pepperoni and green peppers, chicken sandwich and a spicy vodka sauce penne. Every bite was delicious. The reason it isn't 5 stars is the service. We were one of 2 tables in the restaurant, but our server barely checked on us, and was hard to get her attention. She was hanging at the bar talking to another employee most of the time. read more

First time here, and will definitely be back. They have a full bar with very reasonably priced drinks and bottles. The bread brought to the table comes with olive oil and balsamic drizzle is extremely warm and fresh. We opted for a calamari appetizer, which was the perfect portion to split between us three. We decided to all order different entrees to share and try. The penne vodka is absolutely divine and a must try. The pizza is fresh, and flavorful. The chicken francese was absolutely cooked to perfection. The only downside is there are no reservations so from time to time expect a wait for a table. Will definitely be back to enjoy their dessert menu and drinks. read more

First time coming here for someone's birthday. We were a party of 5 and it was a Thursday around 7pm. So it was during the dinner rush. Only one table available. The place was packed. Lots of families and kids. Noise level was pretty high. The ambience is very casual, like a pizza joint. No tablecloths. Nothing fancy. It took at least 45 minutes for the food to come. We were starving. My friend said his chicken parm was dry. I had a mozzarella appetizer, which was huge but a bit boring. I ordered Spicy Sausage Orecchiette--bland and the pasta was overdone. I had 2 Aperol Spritz. So much ice, I didn't feel the alcohol at all. Portions are medium to large. Our server was friendly but he didn't check in with us about how we doing. My advice. Stick to the pizza. That looked good. Bottom line: I'll keep exploring Hoboken for a standout Italian place. read more

Oh yeah baby!! We went once because we stumbled on it and it was convenient. We went back because it was great. Yummy Italian food - great service - they have a bar - and a nice vibe. It's just down the block from Stevens where my son is at school- so I am sure we will be regulars when we are in town. He asked to go back- rather than try somewhere new! We were there this Saturday night and sat inside. Everyone was having a great time. It was loud but very happy and each dish that came out looked awesome. I hope you enjoy your meal there. read more

Margherita's - Penne Spicy Vodka Tortellini Chicken Francese Rigatoni Pesto with Sundried Tomatoes - Pizza Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

This spot is a solid 3.5 and I enjoy the fresh pasta element to this restaurant. The complimentary bread they served was cold and stale which was disappointing as I love me a good bread. For my entree I got the penne arrabbiata which was delicious and it the cherry pepper or spicy pepper inside the sauce gave it the perfect kick to the sauce. I wish they did have freshly grated Parmesan for the pasta. I paired my entree with a rose that I liked which was more potent in fruit flavors. My friend ordered the vodka chicken parm which she enjoyed. This place is cozy and the service was a tad slower. I will definitely go back to try other items on menu! read more

I would have given 5 stars but the service was not great. The food was amazing! Our server came to our table a total of 3 times. Had to ask for more water and refills in drinks. The busser was better than she was. He had to tell her to get our bill. read more

Cute spot! Came for a quick bite and our server was very sweet, especially with our group asking for multiple items/changes/etc. We ordered the meatballs as an app, grilled chicken fettuccine Alfredo, and a vodka parm pizza. Super good! Meatballs weren't out of this world, I'd suggest picking something different. Good spot for first night in Hoboken! Oh and a limoncello spritz and mojito were great cocktails too! read more

Went yesterday afternoon for lunch. We ordered a penne ala vodka and a mushroom pizza. We wanted to give this place a try, however it's nit worth it between the portions and prices. Penne Ala vodka - sauce was watery. Tasteful, however I expected the sauce to be more creamy and thick. The watery sauce wasn't expected. The dish alone looked to be a side dish portion. Mushroom pizza - not enough mushrooms, ingredients looked scarce. The price for an over charged pizza isn't worth it. Outdoor and indoor seating is available. All credit cards and cash is accepted. Parking in Hoboken is difficult, arrive early if you go anywhere around here. Overpriced food, quality was not good, service was mediocre. read more

Cute little Italian restaurant. They were very busy on a Tuesday night, so at least you know the food moves in here. We started with the mozzarella stick and zucchini sticks. Both were equally good. Nice and hot and sauce was very tasty. I had the linguini with clams which was excellent. There was an abundance of chopped up clams. Probably the most I have ever had (don't change it). Chicken parmigiana was tender and flavorful. Nice big pieces. Ziti in pesto sauce was delicious too!! They have a small wine list but you can Bring your own for a corkage fee if $6 a bottle. Not bad. Service was great.. Overall experience was excellent!! read more

Definitely worth another try! The service was great and I enjoyed their wine selection immensely. The arugula salad and the spicy lobster pasta was delicious and worth a try.

It has cute outdoor seating as well where you can people watch! read more

I want to start off by giving a huge thank you to Pedro! I contacted the restaurant over a month ago to see if they could accommodate me and a huge party for a surprise proposal dinner. Pedro called the owner to see if he could do something for me since it was on this holiday weekend and he made it happen for a total of 22 people. He even went out of his way to help me during the proposal part by standing outside and telling us there were no available seats and to wait a few minutes so i could do my proposal and not let my now Fiancée see all of our family inside waiting for us. The service from start to finish was exceptional! All of the staff were very attentive and quick. Drink orders and food orders all came out correctly, with no delays. The food there is always amazing and this is my third time going (this place was our first ever date). The alcoholic drinks are made to perfection. The set up of the dim ambience with the real candles on the tables was beautiful touch as well. Thank you again to all of the staff, Pedro, and Margherita's Restaurant! read more

I actually came in to try their chicken parm in vodka sauce but forgot to specify the sauce so I was given the standard version in marinara. I didn't want to be that dude so I just took it like a champ and kept it moving. Regardless of the sauce, it was a healthy portion with quality sauce to go with it. Chicken was juicy and tender and they offer various pasta options to go with it. All things considered, I ate good and came out fat and happy. The rest of the menu looked good too so I'll be back to try something else next time. read more

Margherita's has been a Hoboken staple for several years and has always offered outdoor seating pre Covid times. I miss the days when they were BYOB and had a bigger menu with more traditional chicken and eggplant dishes (miss the chicken sorrentino). The menu today isn't as expansive but has enough options for everyone. I really like their pappardelle bolognese and their chicken parm. The spicy tortellini was average and not as spicy/flavorful as I would have liked. Their vodka sauce has capers in it (not my fav). Margherita's doesn't take reservations so the cash only bar next door (8th street) is a good place to hang out as you wait for a table. I've also tried brunch here; I was less impressed by their brunch food (my friend had to send back her eggs Benedict since the eggs weren't cooked properly). I'll stick to dinner food here. Would be nice if they could turn down the music inside - the music was blaring in the bathrooms and in the dining room too. read more

Enjoyed our pastas here but some things were better than others. The penne arrabiata was ok and didn't really have that good spicy kick. The pesto pasta was good, creamy and served hot. My son enjoyed his chicken franchaise served with a lemony, cheesy linguine that tasted very fresh. We sat outside with our dog. The table for 4 of us was kinda cramped. However the service was efficient. read more

This place is super quaint, romantic, a little small. They do not take reservations but it is byob with a $6 cork fee but they also have a cocktail menu. The appetizers (calamari and garlic bread with mozzarella) were delicious! The food was just okay.. ordered the prosciutto pizza and chicken parmesan and they weren't anything special to be honest. Didn't taste bad but have had better. Don't know if I would return since Hoboken does have plenty Italian restaurants to try. read more

Very cozy restaurant and made cozier with the Christmas decorations. Restaurant is too dim to see the menu, though. Manager came around to check on things. Service was good. The calamari was good. The penne vodka was good and was a good portion. The fettuccine alfredo was good too, though the portion wasn't large enough. The cavatelli in the cavatelli and broccoli was a bit too chewy (underdone?), the dish was very plain (taste and presentation), and I didn't see/taste any cheese at all. When I asked for grated cheese and pepper, they brought out a bottle of cheese and small pepper grinder (I'd hoped for them to grate the cheese and grind fresh pepper over my dish). 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

Love love love this place in Hoboken NJ! Lovely little Italian place downtown. This pasta bolognese with burrata cheese is the best I have ever had! 5 stars for this dish. They use 3 types of meat: pork, beef and veal to make the sauce and it was VERY TASTY! The pizza was also good but I would come back for the pasta! The place Issa very clean. Their bathrooms were spotless and that is how you can tell of their kitchen is clean too. Look at the bathrooms; if they are clean so is the kitchen and food! The service was nice and friendly and I would definitely go back! This place is a must go and try! Enjoy! read more
