The two dishes we ordered were great. Cooked the way it should be for pasta and very tasty. The other dish, the pork with hot peppers was tender and tasty.

Visited on a Saturday night. The noise level was on the high side, but tables are spaced out nicely and after a little while you can settle in and filter out the rest. Service was excellent! Servers are very friendly and attentive. We dined with 5 people and everyone order something different. Appetizers and salads were excellent! All the dinners were also prepared perfectly and were also excellent! We are already planning our next visit! Highly recommended!!!

Delicious Italian Pretty space (albeit in a strip mall) Noisy but nice crowd Will definitely be back Host stand seemed to be confused with manager (larger man)on the phone most of the time in the middle of a busy Sat night service. Older gentleman was trying to be helpful but walked us to unclean tables three different times. Finally got seated- if they figure out the host stand, the rest of the restaurant is actually kinda awesome!!

Yet another wonderful meal. Wife had Shrimp Amerigo and I had a squid ink pasta special. Both were outstanding. Service is great. Be back next Friday I’m sure.

This restaurant is fantastic! Not only is the food high-quality and very tasty, you are able to bring your own wine and enjoy with your family. The interior is very beautiful and the staff is extremely friendly and kind.

Consistently great food and excellent service. The rigatoni with spicy vodka sauce is definitely a go dish.

Amerigo is a solid choice whether you're planning a date night, a family dinner, or celebrating something special. I've been 6-7 times now, and it's consistently good every time. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere strikes a nice balance between cozy and lively. Pro tip: if you don't order the spicy rigatoni as your main, make sure it's one of your appetizers—it’s that good.
