Augusto's

Been there for our anniversary. The appetizer and main entree are good. We ordered New York stripe and Duck. Both of them are delicious! The dessert I ordered is tiramisu. Pretty average, if you tell me it’s bought from Whole Foods, I will believe you.

We always have a wonderful experience at Augusto’s. The food and service is beyond amazing. We want to personally thank Augusto for treating our Mom so kindly as we celebrated her 91st birthday. As always, we could not have asked for a better experience Thank you

Fantastic choice for dinner; a real stand out from other Italian restaurants in the area. We had the cioppino linguine and rack of lamb special. Both were delicious. The lamb was the best I ever had; better than what I grill for myself at home. It was served au jus, with small new potatoes and thin baby asparagus. The sauce was very good. The cioppino linguine dish contained clams, mussels, shrimp, and crab meat. Linguine was cooked just right. (The presentation of this dish was not great; see picture.) The house salad is actually pretty special, and the roasted beet salad with pistachios and goat cheese was fantastic. I cannot recommend the bruschetta, it was served on thick toasted bread (or sliced rolls maybe) that were the consistency of croutons. The toppings were not great; the predominant flavor was garlic. We also had the mushroom soup special. My dining partner described it as “very good”, I thought it was just “good”. The soup is created at the table when the server pours the hot mushroom broth into the bowl containing the solid ingredients. Classy! Bread basket is two large freshly baked dinner rolls. Olive oil and two kinds of purees are served with the rolls. A nice upgrade from the olive oil you typically get at Italian restaurants. Strong garlic flavor in one of the purees, and that actually seems to be a theme here – lots of garlic in the dishes. We did not order dessert, and I’m regretting that right now. Based on what I saw on other tables, dessert is better here than what you would find at most other restaurants. Next time I’ll try to save room. Service was professional and friendly, and mostly prompt. This is a place where your server might use a crumber tool on your table cloth between servings. BYOB, parking lot is small, but plenty of on-street parking.
