Whenever we are in Hoboken, we do dinner at San Giuseppe. Their rice balls are amazing. My daughter is a vegetarian and there is always something for her. I had the Cacio Peppe linguine. It is absolutely delicious. read more

Love this place. The lasagne and eggplant parm are amazing. You also have to get the rainbow cake for dessert. And they're are BYOB!

FINALLY! Found a great Italian spot in Hoboken! Absolutely delicious Italian food, tasty with authentic Italian flavors. We've ordered now about 5 times the past month and that's a lot for us city folks. Recently We ordered the large pasta primavera, fettuccine Alfredo, arrabiata pasta, calamari, eggplant rollatini, and for dessert the rainbow cake. Let's start with the salad. Pretty fresh, tasty Caesar salad with fresh in-house made sauce. The sauce was perfect. Not too lemony and just the right amount of tartness. The pasta oh the pasta was Absolutely delicious pasta dishes. Not too heavy in the sauce while still creamy and flavorful. The arrabiata pasta has a nice spicy kick, the Alfredo sauce is creamy, bursts of flavor while staying light and authentic. The primavera, although not always appreciated was super fresh, tasty and complimented the rest of the dishes. The eggplant rollatini was creamy and delicious. The ricotta cheese combined with the sauce was the perfect match. Last but not least, the rainbow cake. The cake was so good we all fought for the last bite, the only bad choice we made was order one slice of cake! We loved every bite here. Can't get enough of this place and come to think of it- I think I just made a family decision of ordering dinner tonight from Here (I'll order an extra slice of cake and hide it just to snack on later ). Don't hesitate to go here, support this local place trust me when I say you will not Regret it - we'll only if you share you might read more

Visiting the area and this came up on GrubHub. Meatballs were excellent, as was the sauce. We also got a Margherita pizza and it was quite tasty as well. Could have used a little more basil, but I'm nitpicking. The crust was very nicely done, and was a great combo of crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The delivery was made by bike rather than car, which is definitely new to me (I'm from the suburbs). On the one hand I'm glad it was more environmentally friendly, on the other it certainly added a few minutes to the delivery. Again, I'm nitpicking. I would definitely order from them again. read more

My wife and I hosted our sons baptism reception this past weekend and it was nothing short of perfect. The owner, JG, was very attentive to my wife's needs for the event and always made himself available to answer any questions that we had. Our party took up the entire restaurant and the team at San Guiseppe took it in stride. Everyone that assisted us throughout the event was helpful, attentive and friendly. All of the food was really well made with care and there was something for everyone to enjoy from the pre-fixed menu items we selected which included the garlic knot sliders, eggplant rollitini along with sole and veal soltimbuca to name a few. Everyone enjoyed their meals immensely and we could not have been happier. A warm thank you to the entire San Guiseppe team! read more

Hosted a private event the other night at San Giuseppe's the other night for about 44 people and it was perfect. the food and staff were amazing and Giuseppe was awesome to work with. 10/10 highly recommend read more

I've only ever had take out from San Giuseppe but their pizzas are always on point. Most of the time I pick up, but I've done delivery a couple of times and their pies always arrive on time and hot. Their pizza is probably one of my top 3 favorites in Hoboken. A good, straight forward pie, made right with high quality ingredients! read more

My gf and I met our friend here, and what a great little hidden gem. There is ample parking (which is not common for Hoboken), and during the week we were in an out. We tried the Italian egg rolls which were amazing with marinara sauce, and the chicken burratta and as the best that the entire table loved. We ordered it and ate family style, but you can also have individual entrees and lots of pizza options. I would come back to this place for sure read more

Food is ok, but they messed up my order several times (either wrong or missing items), and they have never tried to make it right. Avoid at all costs. read more

Another fabulous experience at san Giuseppe! Thank you for making Ryan's birthday fabulous. The food is amazing, best italian in hoboken! Always treats my son very well! You're the best! read more

Ok, so I am slowly transition to veganism, and the last couple of items I'm weaning out of my diet are cheese and fish. I think Mr. Giuseppe just just helped me nix the latter. WHAT was the gray line going down the center of my filet? Idk man, idk. I also asked for it well done/crispy and it was so... not. We got a margarita pizza to share as an app which was a smart decision and this pizza definitely wasn't bad. I rate it a 6.9. The sauce was a little sweet and it was a bit oily, but of course I always appreciate the crispiness of a wood oven pie. The focaccia bread was... fine. I do like the rosemary infused olive oil but then again anyone can infuse olive oil with rosemary. I just wish they put fewer olives on my salad and infused their salmon with a little less pesticide. Future Husband enjoyed his pork special over risotto. I tried the risotto and it tasted Spanish-like to me. He said he liked it but to me it tasted like the base of a paella. Just saying, if you're trying to make the choice between this BYOB and any other one in Hoboken, I would just the other one. I've still yet to receive a piece of fish with a gray line down the center at any other restaurant. Also, I get what it is for the record - a shitty cut of salmon. But then when you see that, don't serve it. Unless the vegan gods were paying you to tempt me over to the light side. Then they did a good job. But the restaurant is still 2 stars. Also, tables were not 6 feet away during Covid which automatically deducts one star. read more

I've lived in Hoboken for 3 years and yet never knew this place existed. My boyfriend took me here for Valentine's Day and I felt like I was entering a secret, hidden part of Hoboken. It's way uptown by the movie theater and they even have a parking lot (which is unheard of in this town). It is SO nice inside with the perfect ambiance for date night. The chicken wings were delicious and we had the arugula pizza and the margherita pizza. They were both very good but the main issue is that it is SO overpriced. The arugula pizza is 24 dollars! I did enjoy it here but the prices just seem outrageous. Our server was great and we had a great night, but I don't know that I would be back solely because of the prices. read more

A great addition to uptown Hoboken, they are winners of the best buffalo wings in Hoboken with their grilled onions drizzled over their wings, they are known for their pizza which cooks over 500 degrees Fahrenheit and takes under 2 minutes to heat up a pie. There most popular pizza pie is the San Giuseppe pie (prosciutto di parma, mozzarella, arugula and shaved parmigiano cheese they host parties such as bridal showers, it is kid friendly and plenty of space for a group of people. The staff is very friendly and I would go back, normally take out on an early Friday night would take 10-12 minutes for pick up. They do have parking and they accept cash or credit. Highly recommend checking it out. It's just a matter of time til David Portnay (bar stool sports) will pop up and do the one bite challenge. Bon appetit read more

If you are looking to host a party, San Giuseppe is by far the BEST place! My husband and I hosted our son's Baptism party here and it was awesome. It is a very friendly, charming atmosphere and the food was delicious. So many of our guests told us how much they enjoyed the food and that they had a great time. We had several different options on our party menu and everything was excellent. The veal, chicken parm, penne vodka and cacio pepe were truly delicious. The burrata here is actually the best I have ever had (and I order this pretty much anywhere I go, we previously lived in the city and have tried every burrata the city / hoboken has to serve and this truly is THE BEST). You really can't go wrong with any of their food, it was all excellent. Also, the portions were very generous. I am still stuffed. Beyond all of this, the owners Joe and Mario are really nice and made the entire party planning process smooth and efficient. Our party originally had been at another venue and when the previous venue canceled on us with only one month notice, San Giuseppe was luckily able to accommodate us. We were a large party ~50 people and they did an amazing job, were extremely accommodating allowing us to bring wine/ beer (they are BYOB) the night before, opened up very early to allow us to have flowers delivered etc and a balloon installation. We will definitely host here again. read more

Food is amazing. Garlic knot meatball slider is something that I never had before and is amazing. The chicken parm is second to none. Insane bonus for Hoboken, it has a parking lot. Not sure how this place isn't known better. read more

Wow! Thought it'd be okay, but what a surprise! I had an excellent DELIVERED meal. The mushroom soup was NUTS for only 8.50... calamari? Great amount and great quality. Pizza was solid for Metro area and chicken franchese was awesome as well. Typically very picky with Italian, but this was really great for the price. read more

Best mozz sticks in hoboken! Didnt try anything else yet but will definitely be back for more!

Decent, unpretentious Italian cooking in uptown Hoboken with pleasant service. Flatbread is provided for the table (which the restaurant calls foccacia - it's not) and it's delicious and refills are brought out. The entrees are served with veggies, but a paltry amount. Between my girlfriend and I, I think there was less than 1/2 of one carrot and 1/2 of a stalk of broccoli as the 'veggie' side. Pretty disappointing. The chicken parm was delicious, but it could have done with some more mozz and - well - parmesan, which I didn't taste or see at all! My girlfriend's chicken francese was over battered - the coating was straight sliding off the chicken, and a tad bland for our tastes. The meatballs (which we got as a side) were delicious! Overall not bad and I could see myself coming back for comfort food, but nothing special. read more

I only tried the wings from this restaurant and they were amazing ! I'm very picky when it comes to wings but this place does not disappoint! It is a hidden Gem. I highly recommend them. I can't wait to try their other dishes they get 10 stars read more

This was my first time getting food from here and got the margherita pizza adding anchovies, olives and pepperoni. Small was decent size big enough for 2. Toppings are same price for small and large so small is pricey if do many toppings. Caesar salad does not naturally come with anchovy as have to pay extra. Crostini with Balsamic was okay but not hard with prosciutto. Overall decent choice for an above average pizza place. read more

If you're looking for pretty good Italian food, San Giuseppe is a good option. For me, one of the best perks about this restaurant isn't even the food at all. The fact that they offer a parking lot with free parking is pretty darn appealing if you ask me. Another pro is the fact that it is BYOB. So grab that bottle of wine you've been dying to crack open and head to San Giuseppe. I guess I'll get to the important stuff, the food. After placing your order, they bring a basket of complimentary bread, which is quite tasty. On our visit over the weekend, I decided to try the Gnocchi al Pesto. And it did not disappoint! The pesto was very flavorful and the sun-dried tomatoes added a nice touch to the dish. I would definitely order that again. The hubby had the Spaghetti al Pomodoro with Chicken. He enjoyed his dish. I tasted it, and while okay, it had nothing on that Gnocchi. On previous visits, we've had the Farfalle Mari e Monti, specials, and of course the pizza. The Farfalle was okay, but I remember it being a tad on the bland side. As for the pizza, you cannot go wrong there. We've had both the Margherita and Quattro Formaggi. I would recommend both of them. The pizza crust is thin just the way I like it. Make sure to sign up for their birthday club either on their website or while dining at the restaurant. You get a coupon to use during your birthday month for a free entree up to $16.95. Now if that isn't incentive to try this place, I don't know what is! Make sure to save room for dessert. The tiramisu and cheese cake are both quite good. Overall, a solid restaurant in NW Hoboken. (And it's proximity to the movie theater can't be beat!) read more

Altogether an excellent experience. I had a vision in my head of going to a quiet, cold pizza joint in a strip mall - this couldn't be any further than that. It's warm, busy and has a great atmosphere. At 9:30 on a Friday night, every table was filled. The coal-fired pizza is top notch - just enough char, but not too much. The crust is the perfect combination of crispy and chewy and the tomato sauce is just a bit sweet. It's not the slightest bit greasy or sloppy - you can eat it right out of the oven without being covered in juices. Gramaldi's may have the history, but I think this pizza is better and its served in a ambiance that doesn't make you feel like you're offending them when you place an order. We also shared a pasta dish to start, which was very flavorful, cooked perfectly al dente and included a generous portion of excellent jumbo shrimp. The owner carefully watches over the pizza counter. I think I only saw him peek into the main kitchen once or twice while we were there. You can see that pizza is his passion and he takes great care in everything he touches. He did take enough time to step into the dining room and make sure that each of his tables were happy and everyone genuinely looked as if they were enjoying themselves. Altogether a great addition to a town filled with mediocre pizza joints - it certainly stands out above the rest. Relative to the other places in the area, it's certainly 5 stars...compared to some of the best of the best across the river, maybe 4.5. Regardless, I'll be back. Hey, and it's got parking! read more

We had a delicious dinner here last night. Three of us sat outside and ordered a goat cheese and Beet salad and a veggie pizza. Both were fantasic. I loved the thin crust and the freshness of the vegetables. The garlic breadsticks they give you when you sit down are amazing too. The service was great and the entire bill came to $8 after a $30 groupon. It's a byo too! I can't wait to go back. read more

I consider this 3.5 stars and rounding up for interior/service/parking. The restaurant is very pleasant inside, tastefully decorated and comfortable seating. The wait staff is polite and attentive. There is a small parking lot. Recently, dinner for two included the burrata appetizer which was very good, and it was supplemented with fresh bread upon request (more like pizza dough triangles). We ordered two pasta dishes. The pesto pasta was just ok but not memorable. I asked for a side of Pecorino Romano, and was brought something that looked/tasted more like a lifeless Parmesan. The other pasta choice was a Rigatoni with sausage and chicken. Decent, preferable to the pesto. San Giuseppe also makes brick oven pizza which is tasty and what I would lean towards ordering in the future. BYOB. read more

I don't usually post reviews but the pizza here is amazing. I always order the salad pizza and just ordered the shrimp scampi pizza. It is amazing and they are quick to deliver and always call with any questions or changes to the order. Great place! read more

Parking is a plus. Their location is bit away from the center of Hoboken so driving is a must. It was an impromptu decision so we didn't have reservation. I worked late and thought around 8.45pm on Friday we would be able to get a table relatively easy. We called and they say it is a 20-25 minutes wait. It's the kind of place where you eat and linger... And tables will be available for about 5 minutes before they seat people. All this while we are watching about 5 parties got seated. Finally it's our turn and again they had to wait I don't know for what and finally after about 5 minutes, she asked if we want to sit there. ??? Seriously. I was so ready for my wine at that point. And then our waiter came by to tell us and they ran out of wine glasses!! And told us to use champagne glasses. Ok whatever. Another 10 minutes passed, I'm drinking my wine in an empty stomach and finally someone gave us out menus. I do enjoy the complimentary warm bread they serve. Food is decent, not mind blowing. We got the chicken wings, pasta with vodka sauce and Sierra pasta. Nothing too special. Maybe we should have ordered pizza but I didn't feel like paying around $20 for pizza. And at the end, they didn't offer us dessert either. Just felt we were second class citizens. Maybe because we didn't have reservation or something. Not sure. Oh well. read more

San Giuseppe - Nice open kitchen - you can watch the chef in action - Italian Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

I've been back to San Giuseppe's a few times now and it remands a solid restaurant and has improved greatly since my first few visits.

I had been curious about San Giuseppe after going to the movie theater nearby. We went on a Friday night and were pleased. I loved the decor which has a very Tuscan feel to it. The lighting is more on the dim side and gives the restaurant an intimate feel. We started with a special- burrata cheese over greens-it was excellent and a good value. Next, we shared a margherita pizza. The sauce was light and a good pie overall. For our entrees we had gnocchi with pesto sauce-good pesto, not over whelming, but the gnocchi could have been cooked a pinch more. The papardelle with veal bolognese was very good. I would have loved a little more sauce. Our server was pleasant and had good follow-up. We enjoyed San Giuseppe and love the fact that it is a byob and offers parking- a rarity in Hoboken. read more

After being lured here by a living social coupon, I really have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. This place is by far the classiest pizza / Italian place in Hoboken, especially compared to Dozzinos or Grimaldi's. you can actually have a conversation here too, if you are into that kinda thing. The place is BYOB, but be prepared, the nearest place to get liquor is the Shoprite, however, they do have a large liquor menu from Augies, which will deliver to the restaurant. They start you off with some delicious flatbread with cheese, oil, butter, and herbs. Really nice. We went with the wings and Tuscan salad to start. The wings are truly unique with the dry rub and smothered with caramelized onions. Can't say I've seen that before. As far as the wings go, they are good and worth trying, but I'm not sure I'd order them again. The salad was a bit different with the chickpeas, but let's keep things in perspective here; it's a salad. For our pizza, we went for the L'Italiana, which has fontina, butternut squash purée, mushrooms, and truffle oil. This is a hearty and hefty pizza. The flavors were nice, but we were hoping it would be like all the other pizzas we saw that were super thin and light looking. If you order this, expect to take home leftovers. Near the end of the meal, the man who was cooking the pizzas, who I have to assume is either the head chef, owner, or both, came around to every single table to ask how everything was. This type of attention and reaching out to customers is worth so much to a business, and speaks so much as to the type of place it is. I really commend him for this, and hope he keeps it up as a regular habit. All customers appreciate this. We will be back, but next time we will go for a lighter pizza, and be sure to grab our drinks well before we get near the restaurant. read more

I don't know how I never managed to get to this uptown gem before. Dined with my husband, one year old and SIL. My SIL came from JC which worked out perfectly because they have their own parking lot. The owner was overly accommodating to my daughter immediately offering crayons and allowing us to fold up our stroller behind our table as they were not crowded. We started with the pollo al forno (wings with caramelized onions) and the Insalata di Campania. I was skeptical about baked wings with onions but based on Yelp I had to try them. I was not disappointed! You have to get a bite of chicken, onion, and the blue cheese that comes with it and it is heaven! What a great combo I never would have put together. My husband doesn't even like onions and was literally scraping the plate and dipping the onions into the blue cheese. The Campania salad was also extremely satisfying and again not like anything I've had before when it comes to arugula salad. I would go back just for the appetizers. The strips of seasoned bread that were on our table were delicious and was the perfect finger size to occupy my toddler. For dinner I had the rigatoni, my husband had the saltimbocca and my SIL had the chicken and sausage special. I was the only one with a pasta dish and definitely feel that the portion was generous. I thought I would be taking some home but ended up inhaling the entire dish. The rigatoni was cooked perfectly and was just right to share with my toddler. We were all happily stuffed but I demanded we share a cannoli for dessert because...duh cannolis! My husband who is a picky Italian said he loved the cannoli and would come back to order some to take away the next time we host an event. The cannoli itself was drizzled with chocolate, the filling was light and just the right amount of sweet unlike other cannolis that are dense and have A LOT of sugar. I will be back very soon, probably tonight because my stomach is growling as I write this review. Can't wait to try the pizza!! read more

We have been eating here for years and have hosted several events here. The food is always fresh and delicious! You will not be disappointed. I especially like to support family run businesses such as this one. You always get wonderful personalized service! read more

This place is truly a hidden gem in Hoboken. We finally tried it last night because of their outdoor dining option and were pleasantly surprised by the delicious food, attentive service and friendly owner. We shared a few appetizers based on other Yelp reviews and we can confirm the wings are excellent but would suggest ordering them well done to compliment the caramelized onions. The stuffed clams were on point and the rice balls which can often be bland were great. When ordering for our toddler with food allergies our waitress Ciara was very thoughtful with her recommendations and even double checked with the kitchen to verify that the oil used for fries is olive. We of course assumed she was mistaken but she was absolutely right! We later learned when Giuseppe himself personally came to our table to check on our dining experience that his niece also has a peanut allergies so he's very conscientious about not using it. We ordered a personal size margarita pizza to share and it was delicious. Next time we want to try the vodka pie because the vodka sauce in one of our entrees was SO good. Although a little off the beaten path on the north end of town under the viaduct there is plenty of parking and it's BYOB. read more

14 minutes ago We were visiting friends in Hoboken and tried this place for the first time. We were immediately greeted by friendly staff and owner Joseph( extremely pleasant)... and incredible aroma of making pizza. We ordered Calamarii Fritti, and Riceballs for appetizers. Simply delicious. We had veil marsala and pollo portobello chicken . Both dishes were prepared beautifully and bursting with taste! The meat and vegetables were both tender and delicious . As we continued our meal our expectations continued to be exceeded. As for desert, .GREAT!!! the restaurant is immaculate clean with a cozy ambiance. Prices are very reasonable and dishes plentiful. By the end of the meal we were planning our next visit!!! GP read more

This place never fails. I've been at this amazing restaurant 3 times and the third time has been the most memorable one yet. I was surprised by my boyfriend, celebrating my graduation, with all my family and friends. Joe yet again made magic happen! He and his mom are such a great host. We had the pre-fixe menu where we started off with pizzas and calamari. Then two entrees - choice of bow tie alla vodka, or spaghetti with garlic oil and basil. The next entree was a choice between salmon and chicken parm. I ordered the bow tie pasta and chicken parmigiana - most delicious Italian food ever. You can taste the authenticity of their food. It's just that good. Don't even get me started with their cookies!!! Those melt in your mouth not too sweet pastries...I think the next time I come here, I have to meet the chefs/bakers. Thank you SO much to San Giuseppe. This fun, intimate spot is the best venue to hold parties with your closest friends and family. The location is perfect and easy to get to. Hands down never fails. We love our San Giuseppe family and definitely recommend it to everyone craving authentic Italian food!!!! read more

This past Sunday myself and two friends met at San Giuseppe for dinner. Made a 5:45PM reservation, just in case, but there were a few open tables and a few large reserved tables. With visiting a new restuarant, always better to be safe then sorry reservation wise. First order of business: BYOB and there's a parking lot. Which as you know in Hoboken is a total win. Second: Atmosphere. Comfortable, not too pretentious, priced well. Service was exceptional. Felt like we were being welcomed into someone's home. Third: The food is fantastic. Seriously really really good. We wanted to try a variety of things so we ordered the buratta appetizer that came with very thin slices of prosciutto, roasted red peppers and tomatoes-DELISH. Also ordered a salad to start. Then the pesto gnocchi which was like perfect clouds and the capresa pizza. The pizza is really good. Overall, more than happy with my meal and would love to go back! Oh, and order the buratta. You will not regret it. read more

Ok so I'm pretty impressed. First calzone is like the size of a pizza folded in half. Lots of cheese, could use a little more meat but the sauce is incredible. All of my picky requests were met 100%. I wanted the cannoli deconstructed so the shell didn't get soggy and 2 days later I was so happy I did that - the cannoli was my breakfast and yeah excellent. Delivery was exactly as I requested as well - drop off in my vestibule. I can tell you that even though there are plenty of places in Hoboken - this is going to be my go to from now on. read more
