At Margherita’s, the Margherita Was the Main Character
We visited Margherita’s in Hoboken. Originally, we were planning to go to a different restaurant, but the waitlist was 45 minutes, so we ended up walking around and randomly decided to try this place based on its name. The temperature was perfect for outdoor dining, but bit cloudy. We sat outside, and the atmosphere was lovely. At first, we were a bit worried since our outdoor table was right next to the road, but once the food came out, I was so glad we chose this place!
Since it was a Itallian restaurant, we decided to order a pizza and pasta, with a bottle of Pinot grigio from Italy. Starting with some drink while waiting for our food is the best moment!
What we ordered
- Margherita Pizza
The Margherita pizza was absolutely classic and delicious. The thin and crispy crust was topped generously with fresh mozzarella cheese and tomatoes, and a single basil leaf added a nice burst of flavor. The cheese had a richness, and the freshness of the tomatoes balanced it perfectly. It was a simple, yet incredibly tasty pizza. We recommend to put some extra olive oil on the top of the pizza.
- Shrimp Fra Diablo
The Shrimp Fra Diablo was also amazing. The shrimp were fresh and plump, and the spicy sauce was just the right amount of heat, really bringing out the flavor of the shrimp. The spice wasn’t overwhelming, and it paired perfectly with the pasta. It was a great choice for anyone who enjoys a little heat with their meal.
Wine paired beautifully with the food. The light, crisp taste of the wine was perfect for the meal, the weather, and the overall vibe.
Lowkey, the best part was all the cute dogs around us 😂
Final Thoughts : Should you go?
The atmosphere, food, and service were all top-notch. It had a cozy yet sophisticated feel, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal and a drink.I’d definitely love to come back to this place again! If the traffic isn’t too bad
