Augustine has become my favorite restaurant in the Mamaroneck area. The fresh pasta with seasonal preparations are always divine and not your classic Italian dishes (e.g. gnocci with the lamb neck meat this spring, and wild boar in the winter), the wine on point, and the service warm and authentic. The atmosphere is elevated bistro, so it works for date night or dinner with friends but the food is significantly better than any other local restaurant. The chef didn't earn a Michelin bib for nothing.

The restaurant is pretty, clean and quiet. The staff was polite and skilled. However, a lot of food issues. 1- the duck cavolo was not very flavorful and had way too much cheese on top. the duck sausages tasted like breakfast sausages. 2- the broccoli rabe was unseasoned, though properly cooked 3- the duck gemelli would have been amazing but was highly oversalted Wine and dessert were delicious, and my husbands strip steak, though it had to be sent back to be a little more cooked, was a great piece of meat. I expected much more of a restaurant so highly priced.

Consistently amazing food and service! Always a wonderful meal and fun experience. Tables are close together, but everyone is so friendly, that adds to the fun vibe. This continues to be our favorite restaurant. Menu is creative and outstanding!

Everything from appetizers, main course, dessert was excellent. The wine we picked was excellent and the list is extensive and can fit anyone's budget. The owners are great people and I wish them the best.

Our first time and everything was fantastic. The chef and his wife were so friendly and warm. Everyone who works there is helpful and friendly. And our server was the absolute best. The food is amazing. A++++ Go!

Maybe don't eat for a day before you go! Chef Marc's food is all a feast for the senses, but with zero pretension. I recommend going with at least four people total so that you get to try a little bit of everything. We are so lucky that he and his lovely wife and partner Brianne chose Westchester. I run a community of nearly 20k foodies and Augustine's has to be in the top three most recommended restaurants in this county.
Food was delicious. Service also great. I had a cocktail and that too was great! We shared octopus, duck with cabbage and smothered fries for appetizers. Duck and octopus appetizers were great but my friends said they would come back for fries as well!! We then had a swordfish special with lentils, a seafood bouillabaisse ragu and duck gemeli which was my favorite. But again one friend preferred seafood and another the swordfish. And we kept changing the order as we ate, since it was so hard to decide which one we liked best. Coffee and desserts rounded out the meal and that too was delicious and creative. We will be back soon!!

Delicious food and excellent service! We had pasta and it's home made and delicious. The cacio e Pepe zepps were amazing and we ended with mixed cannolis which were the best I've ever had!

We have been at Augustine before. Food has been better. All ways good. It was Valentine day. Called us three times to confirm.. Called back all three and even left a voicemail. Cater to your regulars but don't forget us.

My wife and I were looking for a special place to celebrate Valentine's Day. We had heard good things about Augustine's Salumeria so we decided to give it a try. Starting at the beginning, there was sufficient street parking. The restaurant itself was fairly small and noise levels were low. There's not much in the way of ambience; no decorations worth noting, but we came for the food. We started our meal off with a selection from the salumeria. The meats were very fresh and quite tasty. Also it was served with Cacio e Peppe Zeppole and Mostarda (apple/honey syrup) which was a nice touch. We moved on to the main course. My wife ordered the Mafalda. This was basically a Bolognese sauce that was slightly elevated by the addition of grass fed beef and whipped goat ricotta. It was quite tasty. I ordered the CORTI (slow-roasted beef short rib, cherries, red wine, smoked mashed potatoes). It was also quite tasty but not what I expected. There was a distinct taste of BBQ sauce. This was annoying. If I wanted BBQ ribs I would have gone somewhere else. Still it was enjoyable; the portions were ample and the mashed potatoes were very good. We skipped dessert since we had other plans. As we were leaving we were given a cute little Valentine's Day party favor. This was also a very nice touch. I must add that our server was extremely knowledgeable. She recommended a very nice Super Tuscan wine ($20/glass) and pointed out the differences between the available reds by the glass. She was helpful throughout the meal. Some people here have mentioned slow service. We found the service to be very good. I would recommend Augustine's. Just know that the short ribs are really BBQ.
Our dinner at the restaurant was a fabulous experience. Our waitress was so helpful and friendly. I was with a book group celebrating, and we thoroughly enjoyed all of our meals. I have been to the restaurant on several locations with just one friend so it was great to have such a great experience with a group of people, especially since none of them had ever been to your restaurant before.

My husband and I have been to Augustine's many times and it never disappoints. The food is creative and delicious. The staff is very knowledgeable about the menu and the wine. We really love this place.
Pork belly was unevenly cooked. Braised venison pasta dish—-venison was overcooked. The dish needed a binder to pull it together example – – – cream, or crushed tomato. Linguine Nero—-ridiculously good Bread, pudding was great.

Love love love this place and the owner! She has great knowledge about wine. Food is fresh and menu has a lot of options. For brunch, we recommend the fried pizza (so good!) and fall salad. Pasta at dinner is always a good choice. Great atmosphere and environment.

The whole dining experience was wonderful. The food was delicious and our server was fantastic. The only complaint, it is such a busy restaurant and we were seated near the doorway, so whenever people went in or out it would slam very hard and loud. I hope that could be resolved.
