Prato Bakery — Restaurant in Hoboken

I'm torn between three and four stars because on one hand, I feel like they totally jipped us on the pizza margherita foccacia, but on the other hand, their plain foccacia is totally worth it and really good. The pizza margherita caught my eye, and I saw a sign that said $2.90, so I thought why not? It's the perfect mid-afternoon snack. They were all already pre-cut, so one would assume that it would come out to $2.90, right? Wrong. I'm no mathemetician, but something just didn't add up if we paid $8 something for 2 plain foccacia squares (at $1.60 each) and one margherita. It turns out the guy counted the margherita as "two squares" so we actually ended up paying $5.80 a "square". It's just too bad we realized after we left the shop and already ate half the pizza. If I had known, I would have just gotten a slice of Benny Tudino's. But back to the plain foccacia. The two squares that we bought were enough to make a burger for two people for dinner one night, and two Italian sammies the next afternoon. I liked that it wasn't drenching in oil. That or maybe the paper bag soaked most of it up.

Bottom line - stick to the plain foccacia, and...

I've walked by this bakery probably a hundred times without stopping, and after I finally did, I deeply regretted not doing it sooner.

Their foccacia is possibly one of the best I've ever had. Period. It's crisp in the right spots, soft in other, and bursting with flavor.

Their cantucci is everything that I wish would be better about all other biscotti/cantucci - it's not dry, it's softish in the middle, and every bite of all the varieties I tried (chocolate, fig, almond) was delicious.

Please, do yourself a favor - don't keep walking....

Very small place, really it’s to go. There are a couple of chairs inside. We went here to get hot chocolate and I was disappointed. All I tasted was frothy milk. The cocoa powder was not dissolved and so I was drinking something gritty. They had not spoons, I stirred with a flimsy straw. It really had no flavor. I glanced and the sandwiches which were a focaccia square with some sliced meat -$17. Ridiculous price! I just had brunch, a huge plate, from a restaraunt up the street with 2 sides for $17. It’s just...
