Best Steak Sandwich!! I’ve been going to Piccolos for over 40 years. The steaks are always tender and flavorful, and the bread is always fresh. The service is friendly and the atmosphere is true Hoboken. It’s a must!!

Hands down Best Cheese Steak Sandwich ever. I’ve been to Philly and had both of the versions that are supposed to have the best. Piccolo’s bets them and all while maintaining the classic Jersey atmosphere.
I saw the great reviews and figured I'd try out this landmark cheesesteak shop - and boy it did not live up to the hype.
When I arrived the shop stood out with it's weathered brick and classic font signage. The interior kept up the facade, giving off 70s diner vibes. The servers at the front desk were ok and helpful with explaining what was available and reminded me they only take cash.
I tried out the cheesesteak sandwich with fries on the side and the ravioli with meatball.
The meat on the $12 cheesesteak was cut thick, dry, and chewy. Other than the onions, they were stingy with the toppings, there was very little cheese and peppers on top and barely noticeable in each bit. Overall the cheesesteak sandwich was downright boring and bland.
The fries were also forgettable - they were grocery store brand quality.
The $14 ravioli had 6 raviolis with marinara sauce and a single meatball that also tasted like they were value store bought with some Ragu sauce on top.
The old school ambiance is appealing, but this meal was a waste of $30 bucks on some of the most bland food I've had at a restaurant in my life. I've had better cheese steak sandwiches at corner bodegas!
Do not come here thinking you will get a Philly cheesesteak level flavor experience or you will be deeply disappointed. All the love this shop gets is likely from native New Jerseyans showing their city pride.

Old school gem for steak sandwiches. If you live in the area you own it to yourself to give it a try.

I have eaten literally hundreds of cheesesteaks from hundreds of different towns all over the country and this is 100% top 3 or even the best I’ve ever had. You haven’t had a cheesesteak like this one, even if you eat them all the time. Simple, quality steak sliced thin on great bread. There is just something about it.

A great and reasonably priced lunch spot in Hoboken, known for famous cheesesteaks and friends of Sinatra! Must check it out if in town but remember it’s only open for lunch and CASH ONLY! ATM inside..
Went here for the first time and it will definitely not be the last, this is a place you tell people about when they are visiting the area, and bring friends for a great meal. I’m happy to see this place has been thriving since 1955, because it is well deserved!
