As a native New Yorker, I’ve had more than my fair share of outstanding chicken parm over the years. It’s a dish I know well, and I have never sent one back. Unfortunately, this was the first time in my life I’ve had to return not one, but two plates — and ultimately leave after only two bites.
The chicken parm was completely overwhelmed by black pepper. Not “well-seasoned.” Not “a little heavy-handed.” It was inedible. You could actually smell the pepper permeating off the plate before even taking a bite. After tasting it, the heat and bitterness completely masked everything else — the sauce, the cheese, the chicken — all lost. Even hours later, I still couldn’t get the pepper taste out of my mouth.
I will say the waiter was very understanding and handled the situation professionally. He didn’t charge me for the meal, which I appreciated.
I had heard this restaurant’s name mentioned by several people and, being new to Memphis, was genuinely looking forward to trying it. I wanted to like it. But when a classic, simple dish like chicken parm is overpowered to that extent, it’s hard to justify staying, let alone recommending it.
I hope this was just an off night in the kitchen, but based on this experience, it was deeply disappointing.

I absolutely loved this place. I was hoping for a fine dining experience walking in blind and it did not dissapoint! Walton at the bar made my experience amazing! Walton gave me amazing recommendations that were delicious. He also was very accommodating with my allergies and made me feel like I was in safe hands (which I was!) thank you to Walton and staff for a top notch experience! Have the artichokes and have the pasta of the season! These folks really take care of their customers. Seriously one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a very long time!

Love italian food? Then come here, seriously its the best around town. Fancy nice atmosphere but without the fancy overpriced menu. Very affordable and on par with normal restaurants but much better quality food and service. This is how all places should be. Their bread is awesome everyone needs to try it, all the food is perfect. Great experience everytime.

Our family stopped by Amerigo for dinner after our visit to Graceland. It was a great experience. The food was very good. The drinks were well made. The service was great. All the ingredients needed for a nice culinary experience with family. I ordered the rideye which was nice and juicy. My wife ordered the tortellini with crab which she really enjoyed. My father-in-law ordered the crab cakes which he enjoyed as well. My teen daughter ordered her favorite dish, pepperoni pizza which did not disappoint her.

I ordered the fish of the day, Chilean sea bass, it was delicious! The service, however, could have been better. I’m not sure if the server was new, but she needed more support. She was a nice young lady, but it was just a little too slow for the prices, and not what I’m accustomed to when I visit restaurants that are similar.

Came here for my office Christmas party, we made a reservation because it was 8 people. We didn’t wait long, our server Natasha greeted us and we immediately were served waters. We ordered appetizers and I had the salmon special. I received blackened salmon and shrimp with the potatoes and brazed greens. Everything was delicious and we received the best service. We’ll definitely return

I had an absolutely awesome meal at Amerigo! First visit at this location. I made a reservation and waited only about five minutes before being seated. The Italian bread with herbs was delicious, and every appetizer we tried — from the cheese fritters to the calamari — was excellent. I chose the smoked chicken ravioli for my entrée, and it was truly delectable. We finished dinner with key lime pie for dessert, and it was mmm good.
Overall, the meal was fabulous. My only complaint was the air-conditioning, which felt brutally cold at times. Thankfully it wasn’t on continuously, but I couldn’t help wondering — why is the AC blasting on a cold January night?
Our server was excellent as well. A+!

Amerigo catered our holiday party, in Cooper Young, for our group of 25 guests. Aimee Davidson made the process seamless, thank you Aimee! Her suggestions during the ordering process were helpful. Our group was elated with the delicious spread of quality dishes. Aimee and her team think of every detail and made feeding our group the best possible experience. Great communication throughout the process, delivery service was polite and helpful. 10/10 recommend!
