A Taste of Westchester: Augustine’s Salumeria

Sunday Sauce! Locally inspired and farm driven, the combined talents of husband-and-wife team, Marc Taxiera and Brianne Myers’ restaurant has been awarded a place in the 2023 Michelin guide and voted Best of Westchester. Inspired by grandparents, Augustine and Angelina, who had relocated from Italy, many of the dishes share the love they felt between them. Every Sunday Angelina would make pasta for Augustine for whom the restaurant is named. Augustine made a special fork with bent tongs, for optimal ‘pasta-to-mouth-delivery’ and this is the restaurant’s logo. Is it sauce or is it gravy will be debated forever but no matter what your family calls it tonight we are treated to a delicious lesson on his mom’s Sunday sauce. Complete with sausage, pork ribs, beef short ribs and the coveted recipe for his grandmother’s meatballs, it is then braised in tomato sauce and served over spaghetti. The restaurant’s mantra is to use minimal processing and local ingredients when possible. Chef will share how he creates this Sunday Funday meal that will warm your heart. Our dolce lesson, pistachio semifreddo with “burnt” marshmallow. The couple feels, “Service is best when it is felt and not forced” and it shows in all they do. Always a favorite educator!
