Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Hoboken

Family friends and family converged from two states and three locations and the four of us were so happy with Stella 34 Trattoria from start to finish. I can’t rave enough about our server and am quite embarrassed that I do not remember her name but she was extremely helpful to our Spanish speaking friends, attentive and gracious and friendly and the service was mega-professional. We were made to feel welcome , allowed to visit beyond our allotted time and just comfortable from start to finish. The restaurant is beautiful with of course the signature view of the Empire State Building (I used to see that from the East Side), tranquil, clean to a fault, noise level perfect for our older crew, the food delicious, an awesome Pumpkin Margarita was enjoyed along with Prosecco. I recommend especially the giant prawns with garlic and the cauliflower with brussel sprouts appetizer. I’m Coming back for a cocktail and pizza!

Our 2nd time as perfect as the 1st! loved everything—service was friendly, warm and attentive. Bruschetta, artichoke salad, pasta tartufo, gnocci all superb! Don’t miss this little gem!

Delicious breakfast and lunch. Live the vibe and kind staff! There is something for everyone.

We all enjoyed our food and our wine and the long time we were allowed to sit and talk after dessert. Two of us had the daily ravioli pasta special, two had the prix fixe meal (with the tiramisu for dessert - yum), and one had the salmon. Our server was very patient, putting up with all our questions and with how long it took us to order because we were catching up on a few years of history in our lives. A plus is the location - easy to get to via subways from the east and west est side of the city, not far from Union Square, Madison Square Park and Gramercy Park.

Osteria Nonnino is truly a gem. The ambience is gorgeous, both the food and the service is excellent. We all had different pasta dishes, and each one was absolutely delicious!
