Had a wonderful meal here today.

The standout dishes were the pasta & the octopus. The pasta was rich, flavorful, & clearly made with care, while the octopus was cooked perfectly tender, well seasoned, & beautifully presented. The Aperol Spritz was also a great choice for a warm day.

A spot I'd happily return to & recommend to anyone looking for delicious Italian inspired food in a welcoming setting.

Highlights: Pasta, octopus, terrace dining, Aperol Spritz, speedy service. 🍝🐙🍹

I discovered this amazing place a few years ago, thanks to a friend. Since then, I have taken friends & family. Today I was there with my two adult sons. It was Easter weekend, so relatively quiet at 13h00. As usual, I was so impressed with the octopus. The only downside was the white wine. Just meh. The tartelette de petits fruits was excellent but the tiramisu was very soupy. Still, kudos to the wait & kitchen staff.

this Italian bistro is a must try. The food was incredibly fresh & full of flavor. Everything we tried was delicious, but the standout for me was the octopus salad - perfectly cooked, tender, & so well-seasoned. We kept coming back each time we always find a new favorite dish. Before this octopus salad was the special fish soup

Nice cozy, familiar little place. The staff are very amiable & warm. Insalata Di Popo is a must do - the roast on the octopus is top tier. It's hard to do octopus correctly & this place nails it - tasted fresh! Portions are nice & big.
About 20 mins walk from Villa Maria metro if you don't want to take the bus.

I recently visited Bistro Amerigo with my boyfriend, & while I was excited to try it based on all the good things I'd heard, the experience left me with mixed feelings. The restaurant is super small & doesn't take reservations, so we ended up waiting about 30-45 minutes to be seated. As soon as we sat down, someone came to take our order before we even had a chance to look at the menu. We ordered a glass of wine each, along with the meatballs, octopus, & cavatelli barese pasta (with Italian sausage & broccoli), which came with either a soup or salad as a side. Both entrees & the wine arrived within about two minutes of ordering, which felt a bit rushed. The meatballs were amazing, & the octopus was good, though slightly chewy. The pasta was also delicious & tasted authentic-I even ended up taking the leftovers home. While the food was generally impressive & felt true to its Italian roots, the pace of the service made the meal feel rushed, & it was clear they wanted to turn over tables quickly-we were in & out within 40 minutes. The place itself has a really cool vibe, but the rushed atmosphere kind of took away from the experience for me.

Hidden gem! Possibly the best Italian food I've ever had outside of Italy. This small bistro serves uncompromising & incredibly flavorful Italian dishes in a cozy setting. I had the grilled Octopus which was absolutely amazing. Cannot recommend enough!

Outstanding grilled octopus.. I've ordered grilled octopus anywhere it's on the menu... the preparation & execution was unlike anything I've had. Set the bar.. incredible. In photo: Grilled octopus, substituted fregula sarda for the chefs recommendation.. which turned out to be medley of tomatoes & pesto.

I don't regret going to this restaurant. I had fried calamari, octopus has a appetizer . The calamaris were perfectly cooked it would melt in the mouth. The octopus were fried & seasoned with balsamic fusion. It was simply delicious. We took a red wine from the Puglia region Trulli it was the perfect wine for the meal I choose which was the lamb shank with rapini & potatoes . Simply delicious!
I took the cheesecake with pistachios unique. Their espresso is the best which is comparable to the Napoletano gusto.
What can I say I really enjoyed their food & price was very good.
I recommend this restaurant!
