Went around 9PM on a Saturday, there were a few tables available for walk ins, but we had a reservation for a birthday (just in case). The food was decent, exactly what it should have been but nothing above and beyond. Some of the choices were different, for example the meatball sliders on garlic bread. We also had the Chicken Francese, Eggplant Parm, and Farfalle alla Vodka along with a side of Mashed Potatoes. Again, food was decent so if you're looking for good Italian food this is a place to try. They are BYOB so you can bring your own bottle of wine. Other Italian places are a bit more lively, but San Giuseppe is more calm and family friendly. Most tables were groups. The service, however, is not good and leaves a lot to be desired. We were there to celebrate a birthday and were not given the option to order desert because the kitchen, unbeknownst to us, closed. There were two waiters and neither of them advised us of the kitchen closing or last calls, which is inconsiderate. Do not offer a 9PM time slot if the table can't be serviced to the fullest capacity or if the waitstaff cannot communicate something as simple as "the kitchen will close soon, any last orders?". Will not be returning, unfortunately. read more

This place always delivers excellent food. My boyfriend and I frequently order in from here and it's always fresh and extremely delicious. We decided to go in person for the first time a couple weeks ago and it was even better, which we didn't think was possible. The people are fantastic and the food is delicious. We went back again tonight and it was even better than remembered. Can't go wrong with anything you order, but we're currently obsessed with the special pizza that has chicken cutlet, vodka sauce, hot honey and Calabrian chili peppers. The perfect mixture of sweet and spicy. If I could give 6 stars I would. read more

San Giuseppe - Italian Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Love love loved everything about the experience. Friendly and helpful staff. Amazing food, good free bread, BYOW and free parking! Tip: it's not really a private parking "lot" as others mentioned, it's a row of parking spots for the whole strip mall (under the under the 14th st viaduct.). BYOB. Two Italians run it. Great pizza. White table cloths but they are not pretentious. signature dish is: "Chicken Burrata" its chic parm w/ vodka sauce and a burrata ball on top. Very Good. Lot of cheese and only complaint is the ball is cold so ended up cooling off the pasta too and made the dish kind of cold. May need RSVP on w/ends (Resy). They have a rewards VIP program.

Can you imagine... I drive 25 mins to enjoy a lunch meal and there is no one that can sit me down at a table, even though they are open. If you can't sit and eat then you shouldn't be open, or state somewhere what the hours are. Here on Yelp it clearly states open till 9PM. Absolute waste of time and driving. Two thumbs down for me for this ridiculous experience! read more

Recommend getting the garlic knot meatball sliders, they were delish. Veal parm also very good, large portions.

We originally had a reservation to dine-in but the weather was too bad for my FIL and MIL to make it, so we opted to order-in instead. You order directly from their website and it's delivered, I assume, by their own staff. Food came in exactly the time window they quoted and was very hot. X and I split the cesar salad, which was quite good. Solid portion. I had the gnocchi with vodka sauce and a chicken cutlet. X had the penna vodka with a chicken cutlet and buratta. Chicken was great. The penne vodka order was such a huge portion it was 2 meals. Overall, an excellent meal with reasonable prices. read more

We went to Hoboken to visit our friends who live around the corner. We live in central NJ, but we were looking for a quick walk on a cold evening. And I'll tell you what, this is the Italian food that NJ is known for. Fresh, tastes on point, and did I mention delicious?! From the pizzas to the entrees and appetizers, we devoured and enjoyed immensely. We were with three kids under 8, and the waiter was extraordinarily thoughtful to what our kids needed, and made us feel comfortable. I will return whenever I am in Hoboken. I will likely return even when Hoboken isn't a planned trip! Goodness gracious it's just like grandma makes on Sunday! read more

Amazing spot. 1) I think this is a must visit Italian restaurant. Only issue is, it is kinda fancy inside. So, I felt a little awkward coming in on a rainy day with my hoodie on. 2) The must get item is the chicken burrata. It is beyond good. 3) Will try their desserts next like their rainbow cake and tiramisu. read more

Had a lovely dinner here a few weeks ago when I was craving pizza. The pizza was very good and service is friendly. This seems like a great place for girls night. Also saw lots of families. There is a parking lot so that is convenient! read more

I've been meaning to try San Giuseppe for years. I enjoyed the calamari, and loved the vodka sauce pizza. The best part too is that there is a parking lot, which is hard to come by in Hoboken. The service was great! My waitress was very nice. The ambiance was cozy and comfortable. read more

I love the penne vodka pie here so much so I wanted to try the vodka pizza without the pasta to see how it compared. It still had the bold, smoky flavor that I love, but I think the penne vodka pie is better as the penne gives each slice more satisfying texture. The vodka pizza had a very thin, charred crust so it wasn't as filling. We also tried their fried mozzarella sticks. These were good. They are made with seasoned homemade batter and are definitely higher quality than average. Their italian eggrolls are also very tasty. read more

Can't condone the misleading Uber delivery time, which at more than 80 minutes was double the estimated range, but I was pleased with the penne arrabbiata and the meatball add-on. At the first bite it almost seemed too sweet, but the heat and complexity built up over time. And the broccoli rabe had a delightful abundance of garlic. read more

Easter Sunday dinner at San Giuseppe and it was worth the drive into Hoboken. It was quiet but 2 tables of families, a few take out orders, and the open pizza oven area kept things lively. The crispy fried ravioli with a creamy ricotta center served with a great marinara made for a great start to dinner. Food served hot makes all the difference so we enjoyed it. For main I had eggplant parm with the great marinara and fresh mozzarella. I appreciated it being served hot but it was missing something and found the taste too plain. It's served with broccoli and carrots but you can get pasta instead. The other entree was a teriyaki salmon, yes an Asian style dish in an Italian place and yes my husband got it. Taking the chance payed off and it was good, fresh, nice sauce served with a delicious rice with some flavor that we couldn't figure out. We were 3 for 3 on the great temperature! Even though we were stuffed, we just had a feeling the tiramisu would be good and it was! The place was mostly empty so service was fast and efficient. We'll be back with the kiddos. read more

One of my relatives was coming in from out of town and needed a destination for a birthday party for her elderly father. Knowing a bunch of local spots, I gave her several options, including San Guiseppe, being sure to note that the comfortable dining room, parking lot (a rarity in the neighborhood), and byob status would make it a great choice. After calling a few venues, she simply fell in love with the ownership at SG, who were willing to work with her on a custom menu, allow her to bring a birthday cake, and just generally show her the warm hospitality that made her decision an easy one. The first course consisted of a variety of shared platters. The Eggplant Rollatini included spinach in the ricotta, making it extra tasty. The Fried Calamari was extremely crunchy, but still had a good breading-to-squid ratio. Lastly, the Mediterranean Salad was like a meatless antipasto. It included all of the ingredients that I loved from that region - red peppers, red onion, cucumbers, grape tomatoes, black olives, and feta cheese. With ingredients that complex, its basic red wine vinaigrette more than sufficed. For the next round, each guest had their choice of Homemade Cheese Ravioli in tomato sauce or traditional Fettuccine Alfredo. Since I am not one for cream sauces, I opted for the ravioli, which were plump clouds of cheesy heaven. Then came the main course, which could have been a Veal Marsala or a Chicken Parmigiana. I had not had veal in years and preferred to take the cheese-less route, so I went with the marsala. I thought the sauce could have used a bit more richness, but the dish was enjoyable otherwise. I did like that they served the protein with a side of sautéed mixed vegetables, a healthier option than just another serving of pasta. Lastly, we had a platter of Italian cookies while we waited for the cake to be served. I was not sure where the cookies came from, but they were great. From start to finish, we received the most gracious, welcoming service, and our lengthy table comfortably took up one whole side of the restaurant, but it felt like we were in a private room, despite the other crowded tables around us. It really was the perfect venue for the event. read more

San Giuseppe is a (almost literally) hidden gem in Hoboken. In my handful of experiences, I'd put their food up against almost any Italian spot in Hoboken. The Chicken Burrata is the star, one of the best dishes I've had in Hoboken. Penne topped with thin crispy chicken cutlets, coated in a rich vodka sauce, and served with fresh (made in house I believe) burrata on top. It's incredible. Huge portion, worth every penny. Regardless of what else you get, if someone at the table orders the chicken burrata then you'll leave highly satisfied. And Giuseppe is a damn nice guy as well. read more

We came here on a Sunday with no expectations. It's great to go somewhere in Hoboken with parking!!! I have to say - we really enjoyed the food here. We also had a lot of burrata because we found out that all of the mozzarella is freshly made in house. LOL. It did not disappoint! We ordered the burrata, wings with onions, and the crostini as appetizers. I'm usually not a fan of crostini due to the hard bread - but it was actually soft and easy to bite into. I'm glad we got it! The burrata was also great and we loved the prosciutto and peppers as well. The wings had a rub on them which I liked a lot. Not sure how I felt about the onions. For entrees, I ordered the eggplant parm and it was a pretty large portion. I stayed with the veggies to keep it a little healthier but I think you can request a different side if you prefer. The Fresh mozzarella was delish. My fiancé ordered the chicken burrata - the chicken was thin and crispy and the vodka sauce was top notch. I'd probably get that next time! AND THE DESSERTS. The Rainbow cake is absolutely amazing and I would go back just for that... actually I will go back for that and for the food!!! Overall, it's a very underrated spot in Hoboken and I think we have a new "go-to" for Italian night! read more

Had my babyshower here October 2019 & it was beautiful! The staff was friendly & food was really good. The room is the perfect size for an intimate party.

I really enjoyed my time here & cannot wait to go back for a regular night. Highly recommend this place for a private event or just whenever in Hoboken. The food is really good! read more

The restaurant was chilly with the AC set too high for the conditions. Seems it effected the microwave too. The chicken was flat and dry...like when you microwave something too long. The lasagna was not baked and bubbly but flat and cold in the center. I recognize the sauce as Campbell tomato soup ...the one you add a can of water to. If I had to choose Costco $1.50 hotdog or San Giuseppe $150 meal, I do Costco. Service was excellent. Parking free. Ambiance of a nice strip mall pizzeria. read more

This restaurant is the best. The food is amazing. Management and staff are great and very welcoming!

Grandma Pizza was nothing close to what was represented in any of the online pictures. Undercooked soggy crust (yes, I know that can happen with delivery) Bland sauce, and not enough of it, which is weird to say. It was not a $27 pie. Abhorrent. $17 wings were an absolute joke. Multiple broken, and half wings. Half; not flat vs drum, half of a flat was passed off as a "wing" I've had better eggplant parm from my corner deli. With tip, this was a $75 order. Shame on me. Never again. I'd rather get punched in the face than spend that on that order again. This is nothing more than a $15 pie, 9.99 wings, and a 8.95 eggplant parm sandwich. read more

San Giuseppe - Sure. This pie looks cute, but it ain't good. - Italian Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Giuseppe catered my daughter's first birthday party earlier this month and did a tremendous job. After emailing the address on their website, Giuseppe immediately called me back after work hours and thoughtfully walked my wife and I through the menu to give us suggestions on what to order based on the number of people we were expecting. I appreciated how transparent he was and he didn't try to oversell me whatsoever. On the day of the party, the food arrived right on time and was absolutely delicious. We will definitely use them for catering again in the future! P.S. we also order delivery from the restaurant pretty frequently and it never disappoints. read more

San Giuseppe - Margarita Pizza and sautéed broccoli - Italian Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Ordered for pickup one Friday evening, because they had 25% off your first order via Grub Hub. Without the deal, it's a little pricey since it's more of a gourmet-type pizza place. There were so many pizzas that sounded really good, but we finally settled on the Quattro Stagioni (Prosciutto Di Parma, Fresh Mozzarella, Artichoke Hearts, Mushrooms and Kalamata Olives). We were a little late in picking it up, so it was a bit cold when we snuck a slice outside but even then, it was still really good. We also ordered a side of meatballs, which we enjoyed as well. Next time, we'll dine in so that the pizza will be nice and hot! read more

Amazing food, atmosphere and service! Joe & Mario, together with their families, have outdone themselves with this establishment. Being Hoboken is known for the difficult parking situation, there is NEVER an issue here since they have an entire parking lot to themselves in the evening hours and weekends. Perfect place for a party, too! Their homemade pizzas are to die for, as is anything on the menu! Also, the BYO is a huge plus! You always have what you want! My family and I highly recommend you visit Sam Giuseppe SOON! read more

I have my bff to thank for this one. As a regular who lives around the corner from SG, she knew exactly what to order to make my belly happy. And that started with the pollo al forno - aka the most perfect wings smothered in caramelized onions. And I mean SMOTHERED. These juicy, tender wings are a big hit and for a very good reason. Definitely don't pass these up! We also ordered the insalata di campania, which encompassed all of my favorite flavors and textures in a salad - creamy gorgonzola, walnuts, and apples on top of arugula - the perfect blend of nutty, sweet, and savory flavors. So friggin' good. The veal in my vitello marsala was thin and tender, served with an authentic tasting marsala sauce that was creamy and rich in flavor. Impressive San Giuseppe, impressive. Honestly, I didn't think they'd nail it with the dessert too, but damn, they proved me wrong. The cannolis are made in house and the one I devoured had a super crispy shell stuffed with creamy cannoli cream that was neither grainy nor too dense. I love me a perfect cannoli. The well deserved 5 stars isn't just for the food. Service was superb and the owner made his rounds greeting every customer, which is always a nice touch. Prices are super reasonable, they're BYOB with no corkage fee, and they even have parking, which is a hard find in Hoboken. What more can you ask for? read more
