Panello

I didn’t have the best experience at this restaurant. In general, the pasta prices are extremely high. The majority of them are ~$30 and I don’t think you get anywhere near what you pay for. At first, I ordered the Bucatini Carbonara and when it came out it smelled like spoiled milk. I sent it back and got the Penne Vodka instead. The penne vodka was good, but didn’t justify the price, and I found that the parmesan they served in a side dish, I imagine the same parmesan they put on the bucatini, also smelled like spoiled milk. I’ve eaten some FUNKY cheese in my time, but I know what spoiled milk smells like and it’s different from funky cheese. Their house bread is really good, and from other reviews people seem to like the pizza. Maybe just stick to that if you come here? I won’t be coming back myself. There’s much better in Hoboken.

I had an outstanding dining experience at this pizza restaurant. The pizza was absolutely delicious, easy on the stomach and cooked to perfection. A special compliment to the chef, whose very nice and genuine The service was excellent from start to finish. The server was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout our meal. Shout out the Sevinc. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and comfortable, making it the perfect place to enjoy a meal with family and friends. The combination of great food, exceptional service, and a wonderful ambiance makes this restaurant a place I would highly recommend. I look forward to coming back again soon!

We usually love Panello, and have gone there for years. They’re super accommodating for families with kids, and the food is great. We had a strange experience yesterday. Our pizza was brought out missing a slice. The waitress told us it broke, and she’d be back. Multiple people work the outdoor area, so we didn’t see her again until we were ready for the check. I reminded her about our pizza and she said they could offer us dessert. We declined, so they offered to give us the meatball appetizer to bring home which we were happy with, only to realize it was just one meatball when we got home. Very bizarre experience, and am curious what happened to the missing slice. With so many options in Hoboken, I’m not sure we’ll return.

I’ve been going to Panello at least once a week for years and it is still as amazing as it was years ago. All service, food, and atmosphere couldn’t be better. Sadly, because of location, this restaurant is very underrated. Whenever someone asks me for a recommendation for a restaurant, I will always recommend Panello. If your looking for a family-friendly, yet quiet authentic Italian restaurant, definitely consider going to Panello!

The restaurant is pleasant with good food in a rustic setting. The menu, authentic oven and prices indicate a premium experience and though it was pleasant enough it didn’t quite achieve the promise. The pizza was fantastic yet overpriced. The pastas had decent flavor yet lacked some of the toothsome bite you expert from perfectly prepared dishes in Manhattan. The vodka sauce was fine but I would’ve like more cream and the cacio e Pepe needed more oomph. There is no liquor license so you are welcome to BYOB with no corkage fees so that is a huge plus for dining in but from a takeout standpoint there may be some better options to get you your Italian fix at a more reasonable price.
