Il Tavolo di Palmisano in Hoboken, NJ
Hoboken as truly good places to eat, but I feel that those that are not on Washington street are sometimes forgotten, unless word of mouth puts them on the map like Antique Bar and Bakery or Chocopain. So it is nice to explore and find a place off the beaten path like Il Tavolo di Palmisano, an Italian restaurant in the corner of 7th and Clinton St. We went there on a Saturday evening and could only sit on the high top next to the bar, the dining room in the back being full. Normally, I would not like it because of the noise level, but luckily (or because of Covid), there were not that many people and the people there were not loud…
I started the meal with their barrel Manhattan, loving the taste of amaro. It was made with Savage & Cooke rye, Montenegro amaro, vermouth and orange bitter.

For our appetizer, we share the fried burrata that was superb: first of all, anything fried is good, and I loved the crispness of the fried shell combined with the softness of the burrata that has always this refreshing tone. It was on top of a spicy pepper spread that had a nice kick that was combined with a tomato sauce. If you never tried fried burrata, I recommend it.

For her main, Jodi got a special: eggplant Parmesan ravioli, that, just by the name of it sounds delicious and a bit magic. And it was quite good: the oversized ravioli had a nice amount of eggplant parmesan in it and were topped with cheese and bathed in a tomato sauce.

On my side I could not not go with linguine and clams, on of my go to dishes when eating in an Italian restaurant. It was good, not the best I ever had, but good.

Last was dessert. I admit that I would have liked a tiramisu, but unfortunately, they did not have any and we went instead for their creamy almond cake that was ok.

So overall, it was good, maybe not the best Italian in Hoboken, but a good address for sure. I’ll be definitely back.
Enjoy (I did)!
