Augie's Trattoria

Food was absolutely amazing, one of the best meals we have had in a very long time. However, our main waitress was rude and hardly there to take care of us. Came to our table after nearly ten min, never said hello, never asked if we wanted anything to drink, just took our orders and then we didn’t see her again until she needed the bill to be paid.
However, we were entirely grateful for the polite bus boy that checked on us multiple times, brought us water, opened our wine, and asked if we needed anything. HE was the reason that we left the 20 percent tip for the service, bc we didn’t want him to be affected.
Phenomenal meal, will totally return, just will request a different server.

Augies is on an off-street in Harrington park. Unless you live nearby it's unlikely you'll see it just passing through town. But it's worth seeking it out. This is a bring-your-own-bottle establishment ( a big plus for me). Beginning with the painless online reservation process to the attentive staff and elegant atmosphere this trattoria hits it on every mark. I had a spedini appetizer with extra anchovie sauce. It was packed with flavor and a good size for an appetizer if not a little big. I shared some with a guest and it was still enough. For the entree I had pork chop arrabbiata. The chop was done perfectly and without question, the juiciest most flavorful pork chop I've ever eaten slightly spicy but not too much for my likes the spiciness was spot on. My guests had shrimp over flounder and lemon angel hair with chicken and shrimp. Both guests raved about their meals as well. For dessert, we had traditional Tartufo and I could tell this Tartufo was made with all fine ingredients. Not a run-of-the-mill Tartufo at all. And we also had the cannoli. Both my guests ( very Italian) commented on how perfect the cannoli was. The food was beyond what I've had in a long time. Absolutely perfect from beginning to end. Last but not least the wait staff. Michelle our waitress was amazing not only extremely efficient and knowledgeable about every dish but absolutey engaging as well. The assistant waiter ensured our drinks were always full. And the hostess was so patient with my 4 phone calls to change reservations. I've been to Augies other two restaurants and expected the same quality and was not disappointed. Augie is just amazing in his field and I expect him to one day be a revered restaurateur. All of the establishments are of the highest quality in service and food. Definitely someone destined for greatness in his field. My suggestion get there soon because all his restaurants fill up quickly.

Came for the first time to celebrate my birthday after having had a wonderful experience with their related restaurant, Cork & Crust. The vibe was cozy and gave the feeling of being in someone's home being fed a homemade meal. The staff was very friendly and the food was delicious! The back room we were in felt a little tight but honestly forgot about it as the dinner went on. Look forward to coming back for another great dinner.

Great staff. Really pretty decor - cozy couches and smaller rooms give this local Italian gem a casual but special vibe. Great for families or a date night. Excellent menu with vegetarian and gluten free options. HUGE servings - you will take home food for lunch the next day! BYOB. Highly recommend!
