Cash-only Southern Italian eatery with classic dishes & feisty staff
"There are lots of old-school red sauce joints in Hoboken, but Augustino’s is the best. The cash-only spot does all of the Italian American classics right, from Sunday sauce to linguine and clams to calamari to veal parm. The exposed brick walls and warm lighting set the stage for a romantic date, but you could also take your parents here for a meal that neither feels fussy nor too laid-back. Whatever you do, order the killer ice box cake for dessert. This is one of the toughest tables in Hoboken (in part because there are maybe five of them), so make sure to call ahead for a reservation." - anne cruz, kerry smith, marissa lamastra, michael sinatra
"On the distressed brick walls inside Augustino’s, there are old mirrors, customized Devils jerseys gifted from the team, and pictures of The Hoboken Four, which included the owner’s father until he was replaced by Frank Sinatra. It’s charming and ideal for date night, but it’s not just the decor that makes it a Hoboken classic. It’s also the huge portions of Italian food, like gnocchi bolognese and pork chops braised in vinegar and hot peppers, which you can order at tables inside or on their new sidewalk patio out front." - matt tervooren

While you won’t see them from tables on the new sidewalk patio out front, you’ll still experience the main reason this place is a Hoboken classic - huge portions of delicious Italian food, like gnocchi bolognese and pork chops braised in vinegar and hot peppers." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, matt tervooren

"Epic restaurateur Keith McNally’s business district venture in the Beekman Hotel features all of his signatures: glowy gold lighting, red banquettes, and classic French bistro fare. Best of all, Augustine doesn’t feel like a FiDi restaurant, which is why it’s the ideal setting for a client meal. Avoid the too-pricey steakhouses that dominate the neighborhood and instead opt for steak tartare, rotisserie chicken, or dry-aged strip." - Paul Schrodt
