Along the Savannah River inside the Downtown Marriott, Augustino’s Italian Eatery and Prime Steaks has become a steady choice for Augusta diners who appreciate quality without pretense. The menu moves comfortably between prime steaks and classic Italian favorites, layered with subtle Southern influence and built around thoughtfully sourced ingredients. It’s the kind of place that works just as well for a business dinner as it does for a long-overdue night out.
Recognized by culinary publications, Augustino’s pairs polished service with an atmosphere that feels welcoming rather than formal. The bar has developed its own following, featuring a growing collection of Bourbon, Rye, Scotch, and Tequila alongside expertly crafted cocktails like the signature Smoked Old Fashioned. With new selections introduced regularly, there’s always something fresh to discover — one more reason Augustino’s remains a dependable favorite in Augusta’s dining scene.
