Over the past few years, local Italian eatery Alessio’s has become a household name in Hoboken and Jersey City with its two cafes, a restaurant, and a gourmet market. The Hudson County staple exclusively shared details with The Hoboken Girl about its newest business venture in spring 2025: a third cafe located at 1525 Harbor Boulevard in Weehawken. Now, we know that the new spot will open on October 23rd on the ground floor of The Reserve at Estuary. Read on for what to know about Alessio’s soon-to-open fourth New Jersey locale in Weehawken, New Jersey.

The business announced plans to open its third cafe along the Weehawken waterfront earlier this year at Hartz Mountain Industries’ newest rental development, The Reserve at Estuary, in the Lincoln Harbor neighborhood. Marking Alessio’s fifth Northern New Jersey locale, signage for the new spot was up as of Tuesday morning, May 20th, 2025. Now, we know it will open on Thursday, October 23rd, 2025.

The 2,200-square-foot building will have an indoor and outdoor dining space for Alessio’s Weehawken customers to enjoy this summer. Foodies can expect a menu similar to its sister cafes in Hoboken and Jersey City, featuring breakfast sandwiches, pastries, paninis, pizza, salads, pasta, and coffee, all made with high-quality ingredients sourced directly from the motherland. And yes, this means Weehawken locals will finally have the chance to get their hands on The Hoboken Girl breakfast sandwich that gives back to local non-profits without making the trek to neighboring cities.
Along with house favorites like California Dreamin’, The Heights, Alessio’s Veggie, penne alla vodka sauce, and spaghetti al pomodoro, diners can look forward to special menu additions, which are currently under consideration for the Weehawken location. Alessio’s creative sandwich program, where proceeds from select menu items are donated to a rotating list of charitable causes, will also be available to Weehawken customers, along with delivery, catering, and online ordering services.
About Alessio’s
Founded by Luca Infantino, Alessio’s first opened in Mile Square in 2020 and has quickly become a local favorite for Italian food and goodies. In recent years, the brand has expanded to four locations in Hoboken and Jersey City, with a fifth recently announced in Weehawken.
Luca was born and raised in Italy and moved to the United States in 2011. After living in Weehawken, he fell in love with Hoboken and paved his way in the fashion industry before taking the jump into food service and opening up the Hoboken location five years ago. The Jersey City location opened in summer 2023, the cafe’s other project, Terrace by Alessio’s, opened in Hoboken’s Northwest Resiliency Park last spring, and Casa Italia Gourmet Market opened this past April. Alessio’s also has two kiosks in Pier A Park during the summer months.
Alessio’s — named after Luca’s son — has quickly become a staple in Hudson County and is known for its authentic Italian products and the real feel of an Italian cafe. The spot prides itself on the quality of its food, customer service, and community involvement. “We are proud to be a community-based business, a safe place for children, students, [and] families,” Luca previously shared with HG.
