Also AMAZING! Talk about huge portions, honestly we should have shared (rookie mistake on our part) but the portions for the money is such a good deal.

My friend who lives in Hoboken gave me a few options for Italian restaurants and Il Taviola took reservations, had space for us, and had a very good menu at decent prices. I had thought I had never been to Il Taviola before. But the moment I stepped into the restaurant, I was like, well, actually I have been here before and I just straight up forgot. Woops. Well, it was a pleasant surprise to be back and I actually had an even better time this time than last time. I had the spicy chicken parm with rigatoni and wow, it was actually quite spicy. It was really good, but super spicy! My SFIL absolutely loved it though and killed the rest of my dish that I couldn't finish. Most of the group had the lamb ragu orecchiette and thought it was quite good. Both burrata appetizers were really good and thoroughly liked by the table. Service was attentive and we were never rushed. I really enjoyed that the restaurant wasn't super crowded. There were other tables but they were far away enough that we didn't feel like we were on top of each other.

We decided to keep it simple and shared two large pies--and wow, we were seriously impressed. First off, the size of the pizzas is no joke. You definitely get your money's worth, and then some.

The service was outstanding--friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The ambiance was just as impressive: comfortable, relaxed, and perfect for an easy, enjoyable night out. Honestly, it might just be the best pizza you can get in Jersey. We were all kind of shocked at how good it was... to the point where we barely left any crumbs behind to take home. Simple, delicious, and absolutely worth it. Can't wait to go back.

We finally managed to snag a Friday night reservation at 7:30 and I can already tell you this will be the first of many visits. From the moment we walked through the door, we felt like we had been coming there for years. We were greeted so warmly, and within minutes I understood why people love this place so much. And then there's Sharon. She came over personally to wish us a happy anniversary, and we found out that it also happened to be her and Buddy's 28th wedding anniversary! Throughout the night, she kept coming by to check on us, giving us a squeeze, making sure we were taken care of, and just genuinely making us feel like family. Before we left, she gave us both a huge hug and made us promise we'd come back. THAT is what makes a restaurant magical. And the food? Incredible. The Sunday Sauce. The scallops. The steak. The gnocchi. The ice box cake. Every single thing we ate was fantastic, and we walked out absolutely stuffed. But as good as the food was, what I'll remember most is how Sharon and her staff made us feel. I actually walked out with my wife and got a little emotional. I looked at her and said, "I think this just became my favorite restaurant in Hoboken." Fourteen years living here, and somehow it took us this long to discover Augustino's. We'll be back. Promise.

While the place had outdoor seating, it was a bit too warm on that day to really enjoy it, so I grabbed us a table inside instead. The restaurant was very dark with only candlelight to illuminate the menu. The acoustics were also not amazing, as the room was extremely loud. However, aside from that, the space had a really hip, seductive vibe. It was also no longer BYO and now offered all sorts of unusual wines, craft beers, and intriguing cocktails. Like on my last visit, we were blessed with a really professional, friendly server. He was a complete delight and indulged my request to try tastes of both the prosecco and Grüner Veltliner before committing to one or the other. Though both wines were complex and delicious, I selected the crisp Casa Coste Piane "Col Fondo" Prosecco from Veneto, Italy. My friend and I decided to share two pasta dishes. The Cavatelli was served with a Moroccan-spiced lamb ragu and topped with sprinkles of sheep's cheese from nearby Nettle Meadow Farm. I was told to mix the cheese into the rest of the ingredients, which were warm and allowed it to melt into a gooey delight. The lamb sauce was so multi-dimensional and really paired well with the funky cheese. It was a delicious plate. We also shared the Triangoli alla Trapanese, which was essentially triangular shaped ravioli that were stuffed with goat cheese. The delicate dumplings were then plated with fresh black mission figs and drizzled with tangy Villa Manodori balsamic vinegar. It was such an unique pasta creation that was truly another winner. Though I sampled less items than on my last trip to Flour, I loved every moment of my experience. From the cool crowd and buzzing atmosphere to the modern Italian food and new beverage list, the restaurant was a real gem.

I was a big fan of both, especially the ricotta, which was so incredibly creamy. For the mains, everyone's fresh-made pasta was excellent.

We ended the night with the s'mores dessert, which was rich and chocolatey. Also, the fact that the restaurant is BYOB is a huge plus! The only downside was that I lost an item during our visit. I had a really hard time finding their contact information online, so I had to go back in person to ask about it, which was a bit annoying. Ultimately, they weren't able to recover it, but the food itself was still outstanding.

Termini Pizzeria undoubtedly serves some of the most exceptional pizza I've ever tasted. Their dedication to crafting delicious pies is commendable, and I would gladly return for the food alone. However, I must express my disappointment with the credit card fee policy, which leaves a sour taste in an otherwise delightful dining experience. Let's start with the positive aspects. The pizza at Termini Pizzeria is simply outstanding. From the perfectly crispy crust to the flavorful sauce and generous toppings, each bite is a delightful journey for the taste buds. The variety of toppings and specialty pizzas on offer cater to various preferences, making it an ideal place for pizza enthusiasts. The ambiance of the pizzeria is cozy and inviting, creating a pleasant atmosphere to enjoy a meal with friends or family. The staff members are generally friendly and efficient, ensuring that orders are taken promptly and food is served hot and fresh. However, the major drawback lies in the credit card fee. I agree with your sentiment that credit card companies typically charge around 1% on transactions, making a 4% fee imposed by the pizzeria seem excessive. This policy could be seen as discouraging customers from using credit cards, which feels out of step with the modern world where card payments are increasingly preferred for their convenience and security. While businesses have to account for processing fees, a 4% charge seems unreasonably high and could be perceived as taking advantage of customers. It's essential for establishments to strike a balance between covering their costs and providing a seamless payment experience for their patrons. To avoid any potential misunderstanding, it would be beneficial if Termini Pizzeria clearly communicated the credit card fee policy upfront, either through menu notices or on their website. Transparency is key to building trust with customers and ensuring a positive dining experience. In conclusion, if you can overlook the credit card fee issue, Termini Pizzeria is a must-visit for pizza lovers. The exceptional quality of their pizzas is unmatched, making it a haven for those seeking a memorable culinary adventure. However, for patrons who prefer the ease of cashless payments, the additional charge may dampen the overall experience. With some improvements in their payment policy, Termini Pizzeria could easily become a top-notch dining destination for all types of customers. read more
