RUDE OWNER – What a shame this place is owned by such a rude and unprofessional woman. Food was good, waitress was great however she was very on edge and seemed scared of the owner! We had a group dinner there and we were told our table was talking too loud, that we can't order dressing on the side and that they did us a favor by accepting our reservation! OMG...attitude and drama not worth the price as Philly has far too many wonderful BYOBs that are more professionally managed. Avoid the angry lady!

GREAT service, best porkchop ever – After trying to get reservations here for 2 weeks, I finally got a table. The place is so cute and well decorated, so it made a great first impression. Not to mention we were greeted by very friendly staff. The menu looked great, I had a pork chop special that I was told used to be on the menu- IT WAS SO GOOD! My dining partner had the rigatoni bolognese, which was also very good. But I think that my pork chop was honestly the best pork chop I have ever tasted- ever. For dessert we had the... read more

Amazing Service, Decor and Food – August provides an intimate and well decorated atmosphere for casual dining. The food deserves recognition and the service is great. Our waitress was very attentive and always with a smile. The owners welcomed us in with great conversation, providing a homey feel that can only be found in South Philly. We quickly became part of the family at this reasonably priced BYO. Be sure to check it out.

One of the Best BYOB's in the City! – My friends and I ate here at this delightful restaurant for "Dining Out For Life",where the staff is very accomodating. They keep the menu simple with choices of pasta, seafood, and steak, with a nice assortment of delicious desserts. The atmosphere is elegant and cozy, great for a date or just being out with friends. I'd recommend this place to anyone!

Best South Philly BYOB – August continually makes my mouth water. Absolutely everything and anything I yearn to have is on the menu and when it arrives, it tastes delicious, looks inviting and has you wanting to devour your own entree and both of your neighbors' selections. The wait staff is experienced, sociable, and attentive. The chef handles the demands of her busy dining room with ease and expertise. The hostess gracefully handles all clients with hospitable, friendly charm even when there is a lot going on. I live in t... read more

Good potential, but EXTREMELY POOR service!! – I was disappointed with August. We had 9:30 reservations on Saturday night (4/26) We arrived at 9:20 and the hostess told us it would be a few minutes for a table. No big deal- the hostess was very sweet! She called us in at 9:45 and our 2 friends had not arrived yet. Not 5 minutes after we sat down, our waitress- a different woman- was pressuring us as to their whereabouts. She was very rude and said that if they did not arrive by 10 they would not be able to serve us. I tried ... read more

SPECTACULAR FOOD!!!!!!! DO NOT MISS THIS BYO – August is one of the citys great treasures. I almost hate giving a review because then I won't be able to get in once the peeps start flocking. However I can NOT help but post that these two women turn out the MOST deliscoious food in a beautiful atmosphere. There is a reason they are one or only 1000 top Italian resturants in THE USA!!!! DO NOT MISS THIS WONDERFUL PLACE. YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO STOP COMING.
