This imposingly large and modern river barge makes the neighbouring Barka docked next door seem modest and outmoded. In terms of riverboat dining, Augusta is as contemporary as it gets, with a stylish and surprisingly spacious post-industrial design of polished aluminium and glass letting in plenty of natural light. Augusta's two enviable sun decks can seat up to 60 people combined, every interior table comes with a great view, and somehow it's all handicap accessible, even boasting an elevator; honestly, the effect isn't unlike an upscale hotel restaurant on the water. As such the service is top-notch and you'd be silly to skip over the menu of Italian and European cuisine, featuring steaks and the enjoyable 'tagliatelle con salmone' (pasta served with salmon in cream sauce, camembert, sun-dried tomatoes, rucola and Grana Padano).
