    Our 1st experience @ Amerigo was excellent! We booked a table to celebrate my daughter’s 22nd birthday. When traveling downtown parking seems to be a challenge however Amerigo offers free parking! I was pleased to see a variety of options including a separate lunch menu with smaller portions available. They offer a courtesy Gelato for special occasions which is a nice touch & delicious! We will book again when in town! Thank you Amerigo for a really nice time!

    Ordered the Thanksgiving take home pack and I can’t say enough good things about it. The packaging was great (sturdy and easy to reheat in the oven), absolutely everything tasted amazing - you could really tell they didn’t take any shortcuts cooking the food, the quantity was very generous, and the overall variety was exceptional. I will definitely do this again and will certainly make a point to come into the restaurant as well based on how great everything was here. Really amazing!
