Reviews
Known for their family style, the portions did not disappoint. However, the quality of the food was not as impressive as I thought it would be.
Chicken parm with spaghetti had good flavor for the chicken but it was tough to chew. The noodles were saturated in a red sauce that was extremely watery.
Mama’s ziti was the best dish we had. Fantastic flavor on the meatballs. Is the reason why this rating is a 4/5 and not a 3/5.
Tomato, mozz, red pepper with pesto was fresh but lacked pesto. Would be better with more pesto on the dish. Had to add balsamic vinaigrette or else it would have been very plain.
Calamari was fried nicely but the red sauce paired with it was again, very watery.
Overall not a bad place, maybe we came on an off day. I will try this place again in the future to get a better idea of how the quality is.
We made a reservation online through RESY and our table was ready and waiting for us when we arrived. The atmosphere was old-style Italian, but in a newer setting. Autographed pictures on the walls, neat Italian decor, and not too loud, even though it was busy. Everything on the menu sounded fantastic, with new twists on old-style dishes. The staff were fantastic, taking the time to explain some of the entrees, answer our questions, and help us to decide what we wanted to order. But the most important piece of information that our waiter told us was that everything is served family-style and that the portions are huge. My girlfriend and I had decided to each order an entrée and then share. The waiter explained that that was fine, but that we would be going home with a lot of food. And we sure did! To start, we ordered the “Kitchen Sink Salad,” which included kale, butternut squash, grape tomatoes, olives, craisins, cucumber, and a delicious raspberry vinaigrette dressing. For dinner, we ordered the “Kitchen Sink,” which included shrimp, chicken, and sausage in a marinara cream sauce over penne pasta, and “Chicken Caccitore” off the specials menu. The chicken fell right off the bone and was so tender. The flavors were incredible. We were hungry and ate a lot, but went home with half of each meal. When our waiter asked if we saved room for dessert, he also told us that we could order dessert to go. Apparently that is what a majority of customers do, and that was a great idea. The cannoli is what sounded best to us. To be honest, it did take a while for our dinner to be served, but that is probably because everything is made to order and the portions are so big. In the end, with such large portions, the check wasn’t too high at all, and was probably pretty low for what we got. We will definitely return sometime soon, and while we would like to try different dishes, we will probably order the same thing! We think you should check it out for yourselves. We are glad we did!
My family and I most recently dined at Augies on Friday, 9/12/25. My son happened to be home from military service and we wanted to treat him with dinner at Augies as he had never been there. He had previously enjoyed their food from our Christmas Eve catered event but wanted to try dining there that evening. This was the last time we will ever eat Augies!
Our dining experience started when our waiter handed me a folded piece of paper that was needed to put under one of the legs of our table to stop it from tilting. I guess the idea of the waiter himself bending down to correct the problem never occurred to him.
Ok, so now we’ll move on to dinner. After approxiamately four hours of completing our meal, both my son and I had experienced severe gastrointestinal issues in the form of violent diahrrea that evening. We believe it came from the fried calamari appetizer that we both had shared. I noticed some of the calamari was soft and did not appear to be fully fried. Their chicken/veal/eggplant dish was also a complete disappointment as it tasted like it had been frozen and not the same quality as it had been in the past. The amount of onions in the Penne ala Vodka was excessive which ruined that dish as well. We had a large portion of all our food which was not eaten and when asked if we wanted it wrapped, we declined.
We attempted to call on 9/13/25 in an effort to share with the owner what had occurred. We spoke initially with a woman and after explaining what had happened she was extremely defensive and unprofessional. When we asked to speak to the owner, she stated that he was unavailable but took our name and number down to have him get back to us. We called back about three days later as we had not heard from anyone and this time spoke to a young man (Torrie) who was apologetic regarding our dining experience and explained the owner was out of town all week but that he would be sure that he received the message to call us when he returned.
As of today (9/28/25) we have yet to receive a phone call from the owner of Augies.
Rather than writing a review like this, it was our initial desire to make the owner aware that someone in my family and I had experienced food poisoning from eating at his restaurant and that the quality of food had taken a serious decline.
We have shared our disappointing dining experience with many family and friends who asked us how our dinner was that night. While I understand that there are a number of things that may go wrong on any given night at even the best of restaurants, the owners lack of follow up on our dining concerns of his resturant speaks volumes of how much he cares about providing a great dining experience. Saratoga county has some great Italian restaurants. I would encourage anyone to try them and stay clear of Augies.
The sauce clings to the pasta so well and the flavors are immaculate. Definitely my new go to Italian, would recommend!
