We had a second delicious meal at Amerigo. Our wait person, Nicole, started us off on a delightful evening. We all enjoyed our entrees. I had the eggplant parmesan, my husband had the lasagna; our friends had the veal saltimbocca and a shrimp.scampi. All were hits! Even the bread and foccacia were fresh and very good. The only thing that was only okay was the Caesar salad. It was a bit heavy on the anchovies. We ended our meal with yummy cappuccino. We all agreed that we'd definitely return. And, we'd request Nicole she was terrific!

Great ambiance and food was very good. Service needs a lot of work. Waiter did not take drink order. When he did, then brought the wrong drinks. Never came back to ask if we needed more to drink. After food was served, he never came by to ask how our meals were. And they were not even busy the night we were there.
