Taste of Westchester: Augustine’s Salumeria
213 Halstead Avenue, Mamaroneck, 914-315-6541, www.augustinesny.com
Italian Summer Fare! 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. A tutorial on making the perfect Bolognese – ‘Walking R Farm’ stewed grass-fed longhorn beef, red wine, tomato, whipped ricotta served over fresh Mafalda pasta is a treat of a delicious lesson based on his mom’s recipe. Our chef shows us summer’s perfect peaches that make for a twist on a panzanella salad – peach, market tomato, red onion, cucumbers, Parmesan croutons, Belper Knolle cheese, with a house dressing. The restaurant’s mantra is to use minimal processing and local ingredients when possible. Chef will share a “how to” on a special summer cocktail – The Fairy Godmother – Butterfly pea-infused tequila, lime and habanero juice. Enjoy this special cocktail for an optional additional $10. Our dolce is a perfectly crafted chocolate lava cake that you will be able to make again at home. Try their newest restaurant, Vida in Thornwood, for delicious Spanish tapas. The couple feels, “Service is best when it is felt and not forced” and it shows in all they do. Always an informative educator and a most fabulous class!
Cost is $25 (+ $25 sampling fee in CASH, payable to instructor; optional cocktail additional $10). # 5584
