Augustino's

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.”

First 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'.

What 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. :)

Delicious 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 Moniodes

The 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.

Real 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.

This 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 .

Call 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 .

Reservations are hard to get: sitting @the bar is 1st come. The people were friendly . The food is good.

Monica Surfaro Spigelman

Check in early for a seat at the bar . Cash only . I am in heaven- artichokes with breadcrumbs the old fashioned Italian way.

Sit & 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

Awesome home style Italian.

Ann Montgomery

Call 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!
