Everyone here is so incredibly friendly, the service is quick & very professional. It's not often you get a full service meal anymore (bread & salad) so it's refreshing. I typically go for the mushroom gnocchi- it has yet to disappoint. There's nothing like sitting on their terrasse & sipping a cold spritz on a warm summer evening. Great date spot or somewhere to impress the in-laws. Make sure you go put your name down early to get a table though, they're so popular it's often full.

Gorgeous big portions of perfect tasting food. The kind of meal that makes you feel giddy before & well after you finish your plate. Service so fast & friendly staff. We will definitely be back. Thanks for a lovely date night Amerigo!

First time here, excellent authentic italian food. I had the truffle gnocchis that were delicious & their tiramisu was great. Good selection of cocktails, only good things to say about the Limoncello.

Well I previously reviewed this place years ago after being treated very rudely in front of my little girl on her birthday & gave it an excellent rating on bread but on service, not even 1 star. I swore I would never go back & purchase another loaf of bewad although my family loves the bread. We stayed away for years, & then wirh my go ahead my husband started on a rare special occasion buying the bread again. This image is the inage i took after msking my first purchase after over 5 years of never stepping foot inside again. The place was newly renovated & the staff was friendly andprofessional & had a warm disposition about themselves. The bread is still very good & the cookies. I willbe back & contonue to come bavk as long as i & my family have a humane experience no matter if dealing with the owner or the staff.

Such a wonderful family owned restaurant. The food is delicious,service warm & efficient. It has small seating & a very cozy atmosphere, first come first serve. I enjoyed myself so much. I can't remember enjoying a restaurant to that level. Highly recommend.

Chez Amerigo, on ne prend pas de réservations mais on vous presse de partir (pour ne pas dire qu'on vous met dehors ) quand vous avez fini de manger même si 1. Vous êtes au bar 2. Vous avez consommé à deux pour 250$ (avant pourboire) . En effet, quelqu'un vient directement vous demander de quitter à la minute où on voit que vous ne consommez plus. Je suis allée en parler au propriétaire Steve & c'est avec un sans-gêne inouï qu'il m'a dit que nous étions restés longtemps (!) (nous avons consommé tout le temps que nous étions là). Pas une seconde, il ne s'est préoccupé de ce que cherchait à lui exprimer poliment un de ses clients (NEXT! You're done!). Conversation désagréable avec un proprio qui se prend pour un autre, qui s'adresse à vous en anglais, & dont les manières sont tout sauf polies. Elles sont d'ailleurs faussement polies en général. Il semble que plusieurs soient dupes. Qu'il fasse deux services & prenne des réservations s'il veut mettre ses clients dehors. Bref, de la part du proprio, service à la clientèle totalement phoney. De la part des employés, service à la clientèle correct (mais on y baragouine le français). Côté nourriture, c'est bon mais sans plus & surfait. La morue était trop salée mais aussi & surtout elle était annoncée avec un risotto qui n'en était pas un! Un gros plat de riz ordinaire. Faussement généreux. Pour un resto Italien qui prétend à l'authenticité, disons que c'est faible. Surtout que les prix amènent à s'attendre à quelque chose de mieux (côté nourriture & côté service). Atmosphère sympathique mais bruyante. On veut que ça roule chez Amerigo & le proprio sait comment rentabiliser son affaire. D'ailleurs, on vous sert du pain avec quelques gouttes d'huile d'olive versées dessus par les serveurs. Pas question que vous puissiez tremper votre pain dans l'huile. C'est à l'image de tout le reste. Si vous êtes mouton, avez envie d'attendre pour avoir une place, pour vous faire éjecter en anglais en avalant votre dernière bouchée de riz (faussement appelé risotto), c'est le bon endroit. Classé très ordinaire pour moi. & définitivement surfait côté pub & réseaux sociaux.
