Ron ShankJune 11, 2022First time here. Denise took great care of me at the bar with "the Sunday" a huge amount of pasta and 4 meats on the side. Seriously, this might be the best place I've eaten at, evah'.
Theresa Fowler Pittius ⚓September 11, 2012What a great meal! Headed there after a somber 9/11 ceremony, were so hungry and over it, but the waitress was so nice, got us two seats at the bar right away. Food was perfect. We'll be back. :)- Josh MinznerJune 2, 2019Delicious Italian fare in a cozy environment. The carbonara and farfalle were excellent. The list of specials was so long it could’ve been the entire menu. Gluten-free pasta available! Cash only!
Adriana MoniodesAugust 23, 2014The service is outstanding as well as the food. The scallops, clams in white wine sauce and the veil with mushrooms were all BEYOND! Just moved to Hoboken from Manhattan and FINALLY had a great meal.
ValerieFebruary 17, 2017Real Italian comfort food. Portions are generous and the service is very friendly. Reservations are necessary for a table but the bar is available for walk-ins.
S. L.September 7, 2013This place is true Hoboken -- super-friendly, completely Jersey waitresses and AMAZING Italian food. Make a reservation -- it's not too hard to get a spot during the week. Cash only.
Barney SimonFebruary 14, 2017Call as for advance as you can for reservations. Be willing to accept early or late. No Reservations needed if there's space at the bar.- Barney SimonFebruary 14, 2017Reservations are hard to get: sitting @the bar is 1st come. The people were friendly. The food is good.
Monica Surfaro SpigelmanDecember 22, 2012Check in early for a seat at the bar. Cash only. I am in heaven- artichokes with breadcrumbs the old fashioned Italian way.
Dave VentrescaMay 15, 2010Sit & the bar or try to shmooze Christine, the hilarious hostess with the potty mouth, to get a table. It's small, high energy, good food (try the Ponsette) and great entertainment value - if you are Read more
Melissa RothApril 9, 2016Augustinos is amazing! We couldn't stop ordering. The artichoke special was to die for!
Phil RyanApril 12, 2014The best restaurant there is. Sharon makes every night awesome...the food's great too.
Ann MontgomeryJune 20, 2010Call ahead, and ask them to save a seat at the bar. Otherwise it's super tough to get in. People have standing reservations out a year!

Reservations are an “absolute must” at this “unique” 33-seater, “Hoboken’s answer to Rao’s”, where “perfect” Southern Italian dishes at “reasonable” tabs are served by “snarky”, “salty” waitresses who are “as fresh as the seafood”; sure, it’s “cash only” and the mood strictly “dine-and-dash”, but if nothing else, “it’s an experience.”
