What an absolute gem in the heart of Hoboken! From the moment you step out of the bustling streets and into Il Tavolo di Palmisano, you are wrapped in a warm, beautiful, and rustic-chic atmosphere. The exposed brick walls, soft dim lighting, and gorgeous floral displays give the space a stunning, romantic-yet-homey feel that makes you want to linger all evening. The hospitality is genuinely welcoming—the staff treats you like family from the second you walk through the door, offering attentive and fast service with bright smiles. Everything we ordered was incredibly delicious and freshly prepared; the home-style Italian food has a perfect modern twist, and the short rib ragu is an absolute must-try. To top it all off, their cocktail list is exceptional, serving up what might easily be the best espresso martinis in town. Whether you are grabbing a spot at the elegant bar, dining inside, or sitting in their beautiful outdoor parklet, Il Tavolo delivers a flawless five-star experience. I cannot wait to go back!

About the restaurant

For the past 28 years, Amanda's mission has always been about replenishing the soul through delicious contemporary cuisine and providing excellent service - all at a reasonable price. Guests enter our elegantly restored brownstones and are warmly welcomed by an accommodating staff. Although geographically close to Manhattan and certainly as culinary sophisticated, we're not slow to smile and truly aim to please each guest. Our popularity stems from the talents of our chef, our dedication to warm, gracious service and the comfortable elegance of our dining rooms. Amanda's is the natural choice for so many occasions: the romantic couple on a "date to impress," a family brunch on Sunday or the place to enjoy pre-theater Early Dinner at a price that is really too good to believe. Sophisticated wine lovers enjoy our monthly five-course wine dinners.
