The food was great but I was most impressed by the service. We had a large party and they were very accommodating and helpful. I would also strongly recommend the salmon, it was well prepared.

Solid old school BYOB Italian. They make all the pasta in house, and the menu feels more like a list of suggestions rather than a fixed list. If you don't see what you want, there's a good chance they can make if for you. Staff is warm and welcoming. Prices are very fair. Love being able to bring our own wine.

Been going here for over 5 years. Hands down my favorite Italian Restaurant in the area. I've tried almost all their menu items, and honestly can say...they're all good.

Always an excellent dining experience at Saporito. Super friendly staff, excellent food, and a nice ambience. They are BYOB too.

Better than expected, which is always nice! Earnest, efficient service. My test was going with the linguine in red clam sauce, with extra garlic. Clams were plump and fresh, not sandy (some a tad overcooked), linguine was al dente, and plenty of extra garlic without being overpowering or burnt. Side dish of spinach and garlic was perfectly prepared. Final test: tiramisu. So many bad versions out there. This one was top notch: light and freshly made on premise. Could stand a little more espresso. Overall, will definitely return, and will remember that it is BYOB! A glass of red would have been excellent...

I only dropped by for desert, so I cannot speak to the food. I had the chocolate lava cake with an espresso. It definitely looked far better than it tasted. It was basically a Duncan Hines cupcake with some chocolate sauce on top. Certainly not the iver-warm, made from scratch, desert I was expecting. However, it is a cozy date spot ( I sat outdoors) and the service was spot on …

I love this place. Today would be the second time I have dined here. The first time as just as exceptional. My first time, the server actually let me order off the menu. Which I thought was lovely and accommodating. I don’t exactly remember why I ordered off the menu that time.This time I had the starter with fresh mozzarella and beefsteak tomatoes. My entree was a tweaked version of a spicy rigatoni.I feel this place is very accommodating to what you want. The service was just as. I will be coming back!

Excellent BYOB restaurant with authentic Italian cuisine. I've eaten here a few times and the service, meals, and atmosphere are wonderful. Definitely my go-to spot for Italian comfort food in this area.

We had a 21st bday celebration for a party of 12. The service was great and all the food was wonderful. Will definitely be back.

Food and service was awesome, definitely will be coming back! Have tried many Italian spots in Hoboken and never seem to find my spot but now I have!
Unfortunate circumstances for 19 hungry adults that were turned down by Mike (assuming manager/owner) on 4/23/2022...made reservations via several phone calls, however never returned the call day before to inform me that they are short cooks and servers, leaving 19 very disappointed people stranded on Washington Avenue. Luckily we finally found a restaurant that would accommodate us. Very poor business management on Mike's part ...a simple phone call would have avoided this bad review. So very sorry :( ARRIVEDERCI

I can't say enough great things about Cucina... delicious dishes (next level chicken parm; get the pink sauce!), thoughtful preparation, elegant ambiance and all-around excellent customer service, A+ through-and-through. A great delivery option too, I recommend calling them directly - the manager himself, Mike, couldn't be nicer and personally delivered my order on foot a few blocks away from the restaurant. Customer for life over here!

I think this is the best Italian in Hoboken. (specifically the lasagna and all of their pastas). Everything is freshly made and just so good. Great portions, great food, 5 stars all around.

Great food here, they have a mix of homemade fresh and dried pasta dishes that has something for everyone. Exceptional service, we were here for a birthday and made sure to make us feel welcome and well attended. BYOB as well so you can bring whatever wine you like and not worry about selection.
