the chicken Parmigiana grinders were awful. Thin frozen Pattie's not real cutlets. Friend ordered eggplant Parmigiana which was soggy not even breaded .

This used to be the best place in town to get calzones. Unfortunately, since new ownership, the food and service quality has hit rock bottom and I can't tell which is worse. Three times in the past couple of months I have ordered food here and all three times the order is wrong or disgusting. I asked to speak to a manager this time and learned that not only is there new ownership but also none of the staff speaks English. I spoke with Juan who said he is the new owner. He was rude and hung up while I was explaining what had been wrong with the order. I was very polite so I was confused as to why he hung up. I thought the call was accidentally disconnected so I called back to be hung up on again. My entire order was not only all wrong but also the garlic bread had mold on it!! Do not go here.

Worst meal ever! Used to love this place. The bread was stale. The meatballs were frozen (same as you get at stop & shop)Asked for soup instead of salad, since we ordered a large antipasto, which was $16 and smaller than a dinner salad. The balsamic dressing (served in a small 2oz plastic cup for takeout) had a clump of moldy nastiness in it. They charged $3 for the soup that replaced the salad. Was up charged for fradiavolo sauce because I asked for it instead of marinara. Got exactly the same marinara. The whole meal was disgusting and disappointing!No love/heart/effort put into anything!They won’t be there long!Really is a shame!

Should’ve read reviews before eating here. Music was blasting but there was no one there… food was fair at best… and that is being generous, ordered a Stromboli, got a calzone… the meatballs tasted like matzah balls. Pretty sure they aren’t even the #1 Italian restaurant in their parking lot… subway does Italian better than they do.

I used to really like this restaurant, but not anymore sadly. I don't know what happened - ownership change? The service was beyond horrible - one waitress (who was unfriendly). Everyone sitting in the restaurant looked miserable. I try to give restaurants a break after everything they have been through the last few years, but there was no excuse for this this type of bad service. People deaerve better when they go out to a restaurant. The food was just ok.

The delivery was 20 min late. They gave us cheddar cheese jalapeño poppers instead of the cream cheese, which they went out of their way to advertise. Finally, the pizza was missing one of the selected ingredients. Overall, I could have made a better pizza and heated up some frozen poppers myself.

Wife got the eggplant and thought it was average i got the chicken parmigiana, the chicken was so thin it was dried out. Generous portion but didn’t enjoy it. Lots of ziti but again just ok. On 1 waitress who was working hard 3 stars at best

Ordered lasagna. When I got home and open it up, I was beyond disappointed.It looked soupy.The meat, and cheese and the little amount of the pasta was flowing in sauce and meat. It had such a bitter taste to it. Never again. They need to get ltalians in there. I wound up throwing it out.

Rarely do I write a negative comments, but I have to speak my mind. Augie must have sold the business, not the same at all, service is way to slow, and unorganized. Even when ordering for takeout, you arrive 5 min after time advised, and they say 15 more min, after the 15 min they want you to wait again, more than 70+ min for your dinner, vattene a %@ngulo, I left. I wish I knew there was new mgmt, wouldnt have wasted my time. They seem overwhelmed, and clueless. Arrivederci Auguri sono finito con questa posto. They shouldn't try to live off a name they didn't make.

Quality has gone down hill.. shame on me for not knowing Augie sold it. I just ordered a 4 topping pizza… it came with barely any toppings but cheese.. so much cheese when you separated the slices, the cheese ripped right off. Someone also mentioned tasteless pizza and they’re right.. So gross and NOT #1..so many other places in Danbury area to order ITALIAN pizza from!

Terrible! Parents took us all out for Mother's Day, they always ordered Pizza for take-out, and decided to take us to dine in. The experience: Waitress was very impersonal, barked questions, and wasn't to be seen. 40 mins after ordering, my mother waited enough & got up to find out where our food was. (there were a few other patrons there) Food came, pizza was tasteless like eating "air" not filling. My son's meatball sandwich was falling apart, the meatball was literally mushy and falling apart. My father couldn't finish the chicken wrap, my mother's crispy chicken salad was ordered incorrectly and ended up being a poor salad. Son in law's pasta alfredo was tasteless and couldn't finish it, which surprised all of us because he always finishes his food. Just terrible, uncomfortable to see everyone's disappointment like that. Shame Augies.. shame.

Catering food was excellent! Had a surprise party with 50 guest and everyone loved the food! Thank You Angies for serving a great meal.

Ordered a crispy chicken sub. Bread was toasted nicely. Chicken and veggies were edible. Service was fine.

Ordered Augies from Uber eats, and the food was great which i ordered Broccoli’s pasta with Garlic and oil but I was disappointed that the meal that I ordered didn’t come with the salad and the Italian bread as they advertised on their menu. Called the restaurant and the gentleman that took care of my order he didn’t even try giving me a credit or even sending out another Uber driver to deliver the rest of my order. Thought they could’ve at least try to send someone back out to deliver the salad and bread even though it may sound like a minor issue, after spending $50 I would prefer to get what I paid for

AMAZING meatball grinder. I am often hesitant to order a meatball grinder because I am very Picky. Taste texture and sauce needs to be just right. I have ordered many dinners from Augies but never a grinder until today and they did not disappoint!
