BORO Market | Restaurant | Bar

This review is for the Market experience only. Will definitely be returning to try out the restaurant and bar experience. Got a chicken culet sandwich with provolone, broccoli rabe, sauteed onions, and garlic aioli... it was phenomenal. vibe was modern Italian in a very clean space with a great looking market/cafe style menu with some items to purchase to take home like at a classic Italian market. Service was a little lackluster, staff didn't really seem to care to do their jobs well, they were polite but seemed like they didn't care to be there... where is the hospitality nowadays.

Guy forgot to put the order in!
Super slow service, dishes were dirty, and then we sat to wait for an entree that the waiter finally said he never put in? What?

Food is aways awesome, it is consistently delicious. That we arrived at 2:40 and sat in lobby room waiting and then weren't allowed to move to the cooler dining area because it was 3:10 when the food arrived, that changed my entire experience of the location. That lack of care over people, that left a bad taste in my mouth. Very disappointed.

Food was delicious but not enough space in the restaurant!

Ordered pickup through doordash. Called in because i made a small mistake in my order and aaron went above and beyond. I never experienced this in ny and did not expect this in nj. A true gem and a beautiful soul. Wish more customer service workers were like him

One of the best restaurant experiences I have had in a long time! The cocktails were divine along with the starters, entrees, dessert, and dessert cocktails. Our server Abby was amazing 🤩

By far the best restaurant in Pennington. The food and the service are always excellent. The cocktails are good and the wine list is correct at decent prices.

Great spot for a date! My husband and I went here for a lunch date and had such a great time. The food and drinks were amazing. The atmosphere is great. I have had so many friends posting on social media about this spot so I knew we had to go and it stood up to the hype.

Had reservations with a friend on Friday at 6:30pm and was seated right away. Staff were very friendly. Interior temperature seemed to fluctuate a bit, and didn't really enjoy the fan blowing in my face lol.

Got 2 cocktails with my meals and both were excellent. Not sweet at all, refreshing, and perfectly boozy.

There's complimentary bread that's served at the table and while it's not warmed up, it was delicious bread and butter.

For apps we got the arancini and it was fantastic, great flavor and texture. We also got the scallop casino which was an absolute banger, really liked the bacon, pepper, onion combo.

For entree I got the linguini chili crunch shrimp. I really enjoyed the housemade pasta it had excellent texture and flavor. The sherry cream was delightful. However that chili crunch had almost a BBQ flavor to it which was excellent with just the shrimp but odd combination with the sherry cream. I opted to eat them separately as to not mix the flavors.

For dessert we got the marscapone brownie which was delicious.

I recently visited this boro to pick a starter for home, and was quite disappointed with the experience. I ordered the chicken, which was overpriced considering the small portion size. The flavor was also off too—it was overly sweet and lacked balance. Additionally, I found it unusual and somewhat frustrating that drinks are charged by the ounce and not standard drinks. I guess they want to rip you off. This pricing model is uncommon and felt unnecessarily complicated and pricy. Overall, the value for money just wasn’t there. Look at the portion size.

They overbook tables and rush your meals. I used to love this little restaurant so much that I ordered or went to eat there with family and friends at least twice a month until tonight. Every course was rushed to the point that my plate was taken from with fork in hand and food on plate. Check was dropped while we were still eating our dessert and having just ordered a drink. Then woman who I am assuming was the manager rudely and aggressively asked us for the table. I was truly shocked. Very sad at how they chose to handle it. Even after I express my discontent, she chose to do nothing and let us walk away without trying to make things better.

The tables were to close. I felt lack of privacy.
Also my bill was 79$ but was charged 255$ by mistake which was promptly taken care of.
