Favorite spot in Hoboken!!! Best vegan options-- highly recommend!!! Plus it's BYOB which is a huge plus!

5 stars for presentation/ambience/host service, but 4 star for flavors and table service. I loved the burrata crostini, which was gone before I could snap a picture but I was disappointed in both pasta dishes the Bolognese and Lasagna. The pastas were a bit too soft and the sauces were not impressive. I want to try the arugula salad since that seemed to be a popular order as well as the pizza. I think our waiter forgot about us towards the end of our meal as we had to scramble to ask other staff to get the check. read more

After reading the positive reviews about Otto Strada on Yelp, I decided to order delivery. I had the Tortellaci di Manzo e Vitello. The delivery did take a long time- about an hour. But my food did show up, the delivery person was kind, and my food was warm. The sauce was flavorful and I was also able to taste the pasta. If you're looking for plain pasta with minimal sauce, this isn't the restaurant for you. Also if you're dining in at any restaurant and there is a table for four and you are a party of two, the party of four is going to get that table. It's only fair. A lot of restaurants do it. The food is wonderful and worth a try. read more

Otto Strada - The pasta was delicious and the balsamic made it sweet - Italian Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Went to dinner with three of my girlfriends on Saturday. Absolutely the best Italian food I've had in Hoboken. We ordered the stuffed pepper appetizer along with the giant meatball which were both divine. Two of us ordered pasta- the penne vodka and the espresso short rib ravioli (yes read it again) it was so good It practically melted in my mouth. My two other friends got the Milanese and the lemon chicken which were also great. You will definitely leave happy and with leftovers. Also it's BYOB which we love! read more

I've lived in hoboken for 2 years now, and this is the first time I left a review for a restaurant here because it was just that amazing. We had the veal torellini which was top notch, pizza was great, and the meatball entre was the most tender meatball ive ever had..cant wait to go back!! read more

Love the food, hate hate HATE the indoor tables. Their service stand is shared with the host stand and takeout so I had people hitting me in the head with their purses and an insane amount of noise that I could barely hear my partner across the table. I'll be back in the summer when I can sit outside and have personal space again. Their silly excuse: it's a small space. I know plenty smaller ones in town with an actual separate host stand at the front! read more

OH MY GOD... this pasta was AMAZING!!! The portions are also HUGE. I was so pleased with the service and the food! I am so excited to come back here and try something different next time! The pasta was so creamy and with the cannolis you can tell the cream was homemade.. SO DELICIOUS!! read more

This place is cute outside with a trellis and outdoor seating! Caught my attention. Inside is small but quaint. We stopped in to have lunch. I love Italian! We started with the BLT crostini and ordered the Tartufo pizza and Prosciutto E asparagi pizza. Everything was delicious! The BLT crostini had a perfect crunch, fresh arugula, perfectly cooked bacon, fresh tomato. Flavors blended great. The prosciutto and asparagus pizza was delicious. I love the fresh basil. The tomato sauce was good. 9/10 for that pizza. The crust on both folded perfect. The Tartufo is EXCELLENT!! The truffle oil is delicious and the mushrooms with prosciutto and cheeses...wow! Highly recommend the Tartufo. The service here was great too! And prices aren't bad. We will be back to try more. read more

Italian home cooking at its finest. Otto Strada comes through every time. The octopus and meatball starters are a must for the table.

Guys!! If you haven't been here- RUN. This is the best place for pasta in Hoboken. Some of my fave apps are the smashed burrata and the stuffed peppers. Make sure you don't forget to BYO, and sadly they don't take reservations so there will most likely be a wait if you go at a popular time. read more

Excellent choice for Italian in Hoboken. The place is small but very welcoming, service was excellent. There is usually a queue but if you go earlier or later it should not be more than 15-20 minutes. Has the smashed burrata which was superb. Veal tortellacci was incredible, the sauce is made to perfection. It is a little on the expensive side and the portions are not big, but if you can look past that it's well worth a visit! read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Hoboken. Slightly off the beaten path, Otto Strada is absolutely worth seeking out. The staff and owner were very accommodating. The restaurant was BYOB, and they offered us a wine bottle the previous patrons left behind at the table since we did not have any. They did not have to do that, but they did! The daily specials were full of terrific pasta dishes. I had linguine with a tomato/cream sauce that was so well done. The star of the meal though was our appetizer. For $18 we got a large amount of ricotta cheese and infused olive oils. They were all tasty, particularly the lemon crisp and my favorite the pepper and truffle. I will order this every time its available. For dessert we split the mezzo luna. Its akin to a nutella pizza but also includes butter inside. By the way, it is BIG. Definitely share! read more

A perfect spot for lunch or dinner, Otto Strada is beautiful in and out. This location is BYOB, as many restaurants are in the city of Hoboken. I ordered a special Carbonara dish which was spectacular. I was incredibly happy with the flavors of my dish, it was well balanced. My bf ordered a chicken dish, served on a bed of arugula. It was also fantastic! The service was my only downside, I struggled to get the attention of our waiter. Regardless, I'll be back soon! read more

The restaurant was a perfect small place, wonderful people and great food, the eggplant was phenomenal so much flavor and light, the trio of breads were so good a mixture of sweetness of tomato and onion.

We had a couples date night here. Amazing experience and very accommodating staff. The weather was acting funny however, we still asked to sit outside. After much drizzle the staff kindly sat us inside. It's a bring your own beverage place so very cool. We started off with amazing appetizers. I definitely recommend the Smashed Burrata and Prosciutto which is fresh burrata smashed on top of prosciutto, topped with extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, fresh herbs and sea salt. Absolutely mouth watering! We also ordered the Gambero Cotto Su Legno which is brick oven baked shrimp on a cedar plank covered in a parsley pesto sauce; made with italian parsley, zest of lemon, garlic and olive oil. And Salami E Verdure which is cured meats, roasted vegetables, pickled vegetables and marinated olives. I ordered the Bistecca Alla Pizzaiola which is a ribeye steak that is pan seared, sauteed in a sauce made of olive oil, garlic, caramelized sweet onions, red wine, san marzano tomatoes and Italian parsley; comes with toasted focaccia bread and a side of sautéed spinach in garlic and olive oil. read more

INCREDIBLE!! We absolutely love otto strada - always consistent great food and service. We love the pasta, all fresh and home made! The owners are wonderful and really care about the community! We are lucky to have them here. Ps: the brunch is also really good - the french toast is definitely a hidden gem in hoboken! 5 star for sure! Always a hit! read more

Went to Otto Strada on Sunday at noon for brunch and it was AMAZING! Since they don't take reservations I called ahead of time to check if there was a wait, and luckily by the time I arrived there were tables available however when we left at 1pm there were folks waiting outside to be seated. Every single thing we ordered was absolutely delicious. From the meatball sliders, to the Milanese caprese sandwich, included with the side salad and potatoes, everything was 100%. It was our first time there and we already decided we'll need to go back multiple times to try everything we want on the menu. Possibly order out for dinner tonight? I just went a second time and got brunch, and wanted to include some photos below! Went with my boyfriend at 11am at Sunday and we were the first to arrive for the day. We got the breakfast panini with side potatoes and salad which was phenomenal, and eggs Benedict with the same sides which was pretty good. It was very heavy on the spinach, and don't get me wrong I love spinach, but next time I plan to get the panini. We got an additional side order of the maple glazed sausage and it was delicious if you like sweet sausage. read more

This restaurant is exceptional. We went today for the first time for brunch and shared the truffle mushroom egg pizza: it was to die for. It very well may be the best pizza I have had in NYC and hobo so far and involves two of my favorite foods: eggs and truffles. I love that the best pizza I have ever eaten is made by a Mexican chef....this always impresses me when a person masters a cuisine different from that of their homeland. Where I grew up, the best Persian Kabob was made by a Nepalese chef. Then, in Japan, the chefs master everything...the best Italian pastry I ever ate was in a train station in Kyoto.....I literally followed my nose to the bakery. The service is very kind and the atmosphere is relaxed and nonpretentious. Look forward to returning for dinner. read more

Otto Strada - Most delicious egg, mushroom, truffle wood oven baked pizza. - Italian Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Otto Strada is one of the newer Italian restaurants in Hoboken. Opened a little over a year, this BYOB is popular and is busy most of the time. The casual restaurant is no doubt noisy and lively inside (There is also outdoor seating). The service is friendly, accomodating and not overbearing. My dinner with with two friends started with complimentary focaccia and olive oil, nice yet I'd prefer some Italian bread included in the basket. We ordered Nonna's mussels to share, fresh and tasty, unexpectedly spicy. I kept it old school and ordered eggplant parmigiana which I enjoyed. My friends went with salads and were satisfied (adding grilled shrimp to the salad was perfect). Delicious gelato for dessert. A small suggestion would be to offer ground pepper and grated Italian cheese during the service. Overall we all had a fun time, a good dinner, and would go again. read more

Otto Strada - Nonna's mussels - Italian Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Ate here last night. The pizza was soggy and the "homemade" pasta was boxed pasta from a grocery store. The service was awful. They constantly acted like they were inconvenienced by us. We clearly asked for a table for 6 and then they acted like they were doing us a favor for squeezing in our "party of 8". When we politely repeated that we only have 6, they impolitely told us "well you told us 8". No. Next, my friend is allergic to gluten so had to clearly order a gluten free pizza. When a non gluten free pizza was delivered they decided to be immature and shamed her telling her that she did not order gluten free and asked if she is even allergic. Last, after sitting down for 45 minutes or less they told us we have to leave because we were taking too long and we "should know how it feels to wait". I would never recommend this place to my enemy. read more

This is by far some of the best pasta I have ever had. I live in nyc so that is saying a lot! They have a great selection of appetizers and pasta. My personal favorite is the smashed burrata appetizer and TAGLIATELLE AL TARTUFO E FUNGHI pasta. The amaretto tiramisu is a great way to top off your meal. Their pasta is made fresh daily and everything is made from scratch. I go here a few times a month and I am never disappointed. They are BYOB too which is a plus for your wallet. read more

This little place is stunning!! The menu has great selection for everyone and all the apps are perfectly shareable. The quality is definitely there in all the dishes especially the brucettas, so delicious!! Since the space is small all the tables are closely packed and it's very busy most nights. Besides, that the decor is beautiful and is perfect for date night. Also the waiter gave us table pepper when we asked for red pepper flakes. Service is a little slow. read more

Otto Strada definitely stands out among all the Italian joints in Hoboken. We started off our meal with a delicious cheese plate featuring four cheese combinations. Our favorite was the fontina cheese covered in truffle oil and pumpkin seeds, which we had to fight each other for. We also had the mussels special which came with a spicy and flavorful broth that we soaped up with our bread. Based on what I read from other reviews, I ordered the tortellini stuffed with beef and veal which did not disappoint. The tortellini came with a creamy cheese sauce and a drizzle of balsamic which made my taste buds sing. I would definitely recommend to friends and return myself! The restaurant is also BYOB which is always plus but do make reservations or arrive early if you can. read more

While working on the frontline here in New Jersey a fellow nurse gave me a list of restaurants to try. Well Otto Strada was on that list and boy am I so glad that I came over and gave it a try. Their food is delicious. The cooks or chef definitely knows what their doing. I will say that it is a little on the pricey side but it's so worth it! Tartufo Pizza: Delicious choice but make sure you love truffle and mushroom. Tagliatelle Al Tartufo E Funghi: OMG!!! This was so delicious! Again, you must love mushroom and truffle to order this dish! I was so impreseed with how hot my food was. I ordered during the Covid Quarantine and when I made it back to Newark my food was still hot and didn't need to be microwaved!!!! Spaghetti Aglio E Olio: This is good but let me caution you that it is very SPICY! It was so spicy that I was coughing and the entire area on my face around my mouth was numb from it. I couldn't finish this dish... I tried my best but I couldn't. It was good but entirely too spicy for me. Dessert: I tried the Cannoli Cream Calzone and the Amaretto Tiramisu. Both delicious!!!! I still have a few menu items to try from here before I exit the state. So far this has been my favorite restaurant in Hoboken. read more

EXTREMELY disappointed with this place. Looked great on instagram but the service and ambiance was terrible. The restaurant was so small you could smell the bathroom every time someone opened the door. The worst part though was our waiter. I ordered a pesto spaghetti and he brought out a spaghetti squash pesto dish. i had wanted pasta and asked if i could exchange it to which he bluntly told me no after knowing i wouldn't eat it. he offered for me to order another dish but told me i would still be charged for the original one. He then didn't come over once during our meal to ask how everything was. To top it off, the food was subpar. highly suggest margheritas for anyone looking for quality italian and nice ambiance in hoboken. read more

The ambience, food, and service at this restaurant is a 10/10. Really good spot for dinner/dates, or even for larger groups! Their menu has a variety of options and the portions are also sized well to share. Would recommend the pizza with the honey drizzle!! read more

I go to Otto Strada a lot and had another enjoyable dinner outside. They allowed us to bring our small dog and have her sit under the table which was nice. To start, we shared the stuffed peppers appetizer - there were two different types of pepper - both were good and was very tasty. I tried the large stuffed tortellini dish as my main which had a creamy sauce & balsamic drizzle - very tasty. My parents shared the rosso inside out calzone (huge) and a small margarita pie. Everything came out quickly. I love that they make their own pasta in house and the complimentary garlic bread with olive oil. It's also BYO. They have these vines growing over the outdoor seating with real grapes growing from it. If you are allergic or afraid of bees, you should probably opt to sit in the streatery instead since there were a lot of bees buzzing in the vines (one actually fell down our table). Can't wait to go back again and try something new!I go to Otto Strada a lot and had another enjoyable dinner outside.

Very mixed feelings on this place for me... The good: cozy atmosphere, byob, great menu and delicious food. I got the carbonara and the tortellini and it was delicious... pasta was fresh, sauce creamy... great flavors. We also got the spicy pizza which was def spicy but also delicious...I give the food a 4 The bad: it was a very warm day and they kept the door open making the temp uncomfortable. We were surrounded by nats that kept flying in our face and 2 ended up in our full glasses of wine. If there were so many nats at the table it made us wonder what's going on in the kitchen. We got the Nutella brownie for dessert and we had such high hopes after a delicious dinner. The brownie was gross! I love a fudgy brownie but this brownie was literally like a hunk of fudge with very very sweet icing. Didn't taste the Nutella... not worth the calories or money. I would try this place again but skip dessert... and if the nats are still a problem I'll prob never go back. read more
