About Augustino's

Nestled in the heart of Hoboken at 1104 Washington Street, Augustino's is a beloved Italian-American gem that captures the essence of comfort, tradition, and exceptional dining. From the moment you step inside, the aroma of homemade sauces and sizzling meats sets the tone for a memorable experience. The ambiance is warm and intimate, making it an ideal setting for both casual dinners and special occasions.

Signature dishes here are nothing short of iconic. The Chicken Francese stands out with its perfectly balanced lemon and white wine sauce, while the Veal Picatta and Giant Veal Chops are expertly prepared with bold, yet refined flavors. For seafood lovers, the Linguini with Clams in white sauce is praised for its light oil base, avoiding the heaviness often found in similar dishes.

One of Augustino’s trademarks is its generous portions-especially the breaded pork chop, which is often large enough to share across the table. Their meatballs and calamari with house tomato sauce offer deep, nostalgic flavors that instantly win over guests. The dessert menu is just as compelling, with freshly filled cannolis, homemade ice box cake, and Tartufa ice cream frequently stealing the spotlight.

What truly sets Augustino’s apart is the service. Sharon, the owner, is known for her attentive hospitality and personal touch, creating a welcoming atmosphere that feels like dining among old friends. Staff members are knowledgeable, personable, and even bring a bit of sass that adds character to the evening.

The restaurant consistently draws high praise from those who visit-whether it’s a birthday celebration or a long-overdue first visit after years of living nearby. With its unwavering focus on quality ingredients, classic techniques, and heartfelt service, Augustino’s delivers a timeless dining experience that keeps guests coming back for more.
