Bin 14 Trattoria Wine Bar is a small, attractive, 42-seat bar/dining area with a long narrow layout. It was built with recycled items from other Hoboken buildings and landmarks.
The interior has an elegant, chic, industrial, communal ambiance, with exposed brick walls, weathered wood, floor-to-ceiling windows, dark wood flooring, tin molded ceilings, and a marble top bar.
Bin 14 Trattoria Wine Bar is a great place for a date or for getting together with a group of friends. The music is kept to a low-key, background level conducive to conversation, though on busier Friday and Saturday evenings, it generally is overtaken by the noise of the crowd.
Chef and Owner Anthony Pino, also the chef and owner of the nearby Dining Room at Anthony David's, now operates the only wine bar in Hoboken catering to the more sophisticated tastes of the young urban professionals.
The bartenders and wait staff are knowledgeable and are very helpful in assisting you with a selection of wines. Be forewarned if you are on a budget, be sure to ask for the prices as many wine selections can be pricey.
The menu is prepared with Italian and French influences. While the selections are mostly tapas (for small plate sharing) with innovative bruschettas, cheese plates, and eight-inch pizzas (gluten-free pizzas available), they also serve selections of full-size entrees. Pasta is made fresh daily. Desserts are not available.
There is an attractive heated back patio. Quieter and offering more privacy than the inside, it's a great place to be seated for a date or a romantic occasion.
Bin 14 is open seven days/week for lunch/brunch & dinner.
