Reviews for Abbondanza in Jersey City, NJ
Food was excellent. But it was lunch time and he looked at us and only offered us dinner menus. Then he offered us stared... salads and gave us meal salads and charged $11 for each salad. We had to as for the pizza menu. The person there was milking usfor a large bill. We just buried my brother and did not need a $300 bill for lunch for a party of 10. He just wanted to rip usoff. Then to top it off he added a 20% tip in to our bill and didn't lwt us know. We almost left an additional tip. Read more
Came here for a last minute date night during the pandemic and had a lovely experience. Waiters were very attentive and followed... all sanitary precautions one could want during a time like this. Tables were spaced and ambiance was romantic. I ordered theBranzino and my boyfriend had pasta. They were both delicious - I couldn't get enough of my fish! It was seasoned and cooked toperfection. Portions were great. I will be back for more. BYOB btw! Read more
3.5 stars. The place is intimate, and has a vintage Italian feel to it. The lighting is low and the music being played in the... background is soft rock from the 80's. This was my first visit, I attended a private dinner for a very good friend. The servicewas decent but I felt it was a little rushed being that one person was 30 minutes late. (Not sure who to blame for this). Theoysters were ok, calamari was blah, my chicken parmigiana was average and my pasta was undercooked. I was super jealous that Ididn't order the steak, 2 of our guests ordered it and looked outstandingly delicious. (One person said it was fantastic, theother guest sent his back to be cooked more). The rustic potatoes were golden and the vegetables looked picture perfect. Theplace fills up quickly and it definitely gets loud. My only other gripe is that it's BYOB. I'm definitely going to go back andorder the steak on a different night with my sweetie. I'm glad I was invited to this cute little spot with wonderful people.Just need to see if next time I'll be impressed by the food, instead of everything else. Read more
Service was efficient, but not overbearing. It is a BYOB, so that was nice as we were able to bring in two bottles of wine that... complemented our meals. We shared a pizza and salads, so all I can comment on are those items; but they were excellent, and hadgreat fresh tastes. Would definitely recommend as a more intimate restaurant without any of the over the top "theme" ornamentsyou might get in a more modern restaurant. But that's what we enjoy. Would definitely revisit on our next trip back to JC. Read more
Abbondanza is always a nice dinner stop. Ordered the shrimp parm and veal marsala. With a few espressos and a tiramisu. And... remember...its BYOB Read more
Nearby friendly Pasta house. BYOB makes it the best deal! 2 blocks away is a wine and beer store. The service was prompt, the... food was above average. Best was short rib over polenta. Pizza was decent. Lentil and pasta soup for starters was decent. Wouldcome again because it was family friendly. Prices was decent. Basic family fun! Would come again~ Read more
Food was absolutely fantastic. Portions were plentiful without the loss of flavor. If they sold the olive oil they use, I'd buy... a case on the spot. Oil alone is better than anything I've had in Hoboken in the last 25 years. BYOB. Layout is very nice, andparking is available and free. Pasta isn't hand made yet it was cooked excellent. Will be going back again for sure. Read more
The waiters are very kind and sweet. The kitchen is a disaster, we had to wait over an hour to get our food. I ordered... saltimbocca, the prosciutto was so small that was difficult to find. The food is overall average and has room for improvement. Read more
