Recently, my friends and I had a really poor experience at a cafe Michelina. The waiter was extremely rude. My two friends and I were surprised to be charged $5 fee sharing fees for each plate. Additionally, even though there were three of us, the waiter stubbornly wouldn't provide extra plates. The service was terrible, deserving a score of 0 out of 10 (I'd opt for negative stars if that were an option), and the food was barely any better and overpriced, earning a 0.5 out of 10. I definitely don't recommend this place to anyone. The ambiance was mediocre as well.

I saw the pasta flights on Instagram and just had to try them! The pesto was in the top 3 best I have had, the vodka penne was creamy and the cacio e pepe was buttery and full of pepper! Our server was so helpful, funny and amazingly nice. Definitely would say our party had an amazing night.

I had been wanting to try this place for years as there is always a line outside. The service was good, but the food was just mediocre and overpriced. Nice that its BYOB, but the place itself and menu needs some updating (not many veg options).Vegetarian options: Not very many vegetarian options!

The place was packed with a very large party and it made service less than ideal. Also they included gratuity on a party of four and they included the tax in the tip.

Had high hopes for this place but was disappointed. It is extremely overpriced, even for Hoboken. $35+ for a plate of pasta, I might as well stay in Manhattan. I could understand the price if the atmosphere was better but even that lacked. Tipping suggestions start at 20% and go up to 25% (although you can add however much you'd like). The food was fine, but the price just made it not worth it.

This place really disappointed me. I wanted to eat high quality, homemade like Italian food. I decided to give this restaurant a try, I ordered meatballs and spaghetti. First the pasta was over cooked, the sauce tasted like the kind of sauce that you bought in a supermarket, not even the bottle kind, but the can cheap sauce. It tasted so bad. The meatballs had a fatty taste. You don't get parmesan cheese on the side, who in the world doesn't get cheese to top up your pasta? This is an Italian restaurant for God sake. On top of that no utensils eventhoughi asked when placed the order. For this bad experience I paid $59 including tip.

Loved the old school italian atmosphere and large portions! However, overpriced even for Hoboken. We ordered the chicken parm which was $40 and the carbonara which was also around the same. Both were good dishes but not worth fine dining prices for pasta.

The service is fantastic and the food is always on point, never been disappointed. It has been a date night ritual for over a year and we always look forward to it. We’ve also gotten close to the wait staff and management and they’ve always taken care of us quickly. Love this place and would absolutely recommend to any friend or family.Parking: Parking near the water is best - then walk over.especially on the weekends.
I went to this place for first time, I ordered a breaded veal and the waitress brought me 2 small pieces of fried veal socked in oil and plain salad, after I put the complain she brought me another salad and it was not fresh. I am very disappointed because when you go to a restaurant you expect a good food and a good service. I tried the dish and it was not tasty no fresh and I returned it. We asked for the check and guess what? They charged me the Dish just because I tried it. Socks!!When you run a business please!!! Always always make the customer happy!!

Came here for dinner after it was recommended by a few friends. The staff was very friendly; however, the service was very poor. More than a half hour had passed before they came by to take our order and another half hour between when they took our appetizer and served us our entrees. We had mussels and I ordered penne vodka with sausage. The food was definitely good but nothing to write home about. Also, it was not worth paying to add the sausage when they only put 5 skinny slices in the entire dish. It is worth mentioning that while they have gluten free options, they noted on the menu that it was a $7 up-charge. I found that absolutely ridiculous considering most people that order it have a dietary restriction and gf pasta is merely a dollar more per box.

Been here twice and both times the food has been amazing. It's quickly becoming a regular spot.

Was this place ever good? Maybe worse than Leo's. If you are forced to go, avoid the rubbery "hommade" mozzarella. Truly horrible food.
