Augies Family Style Restaurant

At Augie's Family Style Italian Restaurant in Ballston Spa, they believe good food is meant to be shared. Since first opening our doors in Larchmont, NY, in 1990 and later making Ballston Spa our home in 2004, Augie and his efficient team have been serving up generous portions of hearty, old-fashioned Italian cooking made with the finest and freshest ingredients. Rooted in the traditions of Augie's Bronx upbringing and inspired by the recipes passed down from his Italian parents, every dish celebrates family, flavor and community. They take pride in working with local farmers and artisans whenever possible, bringing seasonal ingredients and authentic Italian comfort to every table.

At Saratoga Pure -the value proposition is pretty simple. They provide a solution for safer, higher quality and unlimited drinking water to your employees that is a great alternative to "Water Jug Coolers", Bottled Water and Public Use water fountains.

They have hundreds of local customers, and would appreciate the opportunity to earn your business as well. In addition to providing the highest quality water available, they also have systems that can make Ice and Sparkling Water.
