    Amerigo has quickly become one of my favorite Italian restaurants in Memphis. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and perfect for a relaxed night out. I ordered the chicken ravioli, and it was absolutely delicious rich, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The bread alone is worth the visit; it came out warm, soft, and honestly could've been a meal by itself. The menu has a great variety, but the dish I had really stood out and made the whole experience memorable. The service was friendly and attentive without feeling pushy. Even when the restaurant got busy, everything came out quickly and tasted fresh. Overall, Amerigo is the type of place you leave already thinking about what you want to try next time.

    Blueberry tequila sour Blackberry bourbon mule

    Dined here on a Wednesday evening around 6:30 PM with a party of 8. We only waited about 10 minutes to be seated at a large round table near the front, which was impressive for a group our size. Our waiter, Jason, was very attentive throughout the evening and made sure we had everything we needed. We started with drinks, and I ordered the blueberry tequila sour -- twice! They were very good. I ended the night with a French 75, which was also delicious. For appetizers, our table ordered a wide variety including cheese fritters, calamari, crab cakes, artichoke dip, and mussels. Most of the appetizers were enjoyable, especially the crab cakes, which were my personal favorite. The only disappointment was the calamari, which lacked flavor, had a rubbery texture, and even the marinara sauce was bland. After filling up on appetizers, I skipped an entrée and ordered another round of crab cakes instead. While they were excellent, they were served over a bed of pinto beans mixed with salad, which felt like an odd pairing. There are definitely better side options that could complement the dish. Overall, the food was about a 7/10, service was a solid 9/10 (though drinks took a little longer than expected), and the ambiance was pleasantly low-lit without feeling overly formal. It's a family-friendly spot with a welcoming atmosphere, and I'd definitely consider returning for future special occasions.

    Greens a little too sweet for my liking

    We went this past Wednesday, we let them know it was our first time and everyone got excited and telling us their favorites. Kendrick was our server and he was great. He recommended some well known dishes and some modifications that he would do himself. The bread, the untraditional crab cake presentation, the fritters, everything was delicious and there is something for everyone. We will definitely be back soon to try their lunch specials. Also the decor gave very cozy but intimate.

    Tuesday's lunch was most delicious. I had the Chicken Acuto-my go to dish when I come to Amerigos. The chicken dish is light and so flavorful. The different ingredients complement the dish. A friend ordered the calamari appetizer and the artichoke dip. Both appetizers were fantastic. Always consistent and very tasty. The ambience is very sophisticated and sleek. The restaurant is inviting and cozy. I enjoy dining here a lot. Debbie, the hostess was so kind when I called for the reservation for our party of ten. Our server, Marcus was awesome! He was very patient and attentive with our large party. He checked on us a few times when we dined. It was just the right amount of time he gave us to order and serve our food. I am sure we will return again in the near future. We had a grand time!

    This is my first visit at Amerigo and it did not disappoint. We were celebrating a birthday so it was a large group at 1:00pm on a Sunday. We were seated and our server Jessica did an amazing job! Orders were placed and service was great. All dishes came out together and the food looked good. I had blackened catfish, jalapeno mac & cheese with italian bacon and greens. The bread was amazing and oil was light with spicy kick but not overpowering. The mac & cheese had no hint of jalapeno and the spiral noodles was odd but the italian bacon was ham which was out of place to me. It made the dish salty. The catfish had a red vodka sauce that was not appetizing and unnecessary. It added nothing to the dish and not appealing to look at. The greens were sweet which is weird but otherwise good. The seafood pasta is a really good dish! I would definitely order that again. The Anold Palmer was the best. Overall really good.

    Pecan Butter Crunch Cake to go
    Sonya C.

    Although I've eaten here many times, we even have our work Christmas lunch here this review is all about one of my favorite desserts of all time, The Pecan Butter Crunch Cake! The staff are always professional and polite, I've never had a bad experience here. The restaurant has a sophisticated feeling without being stuffy. After a long day of appointments I just wanted to pick up my dessert and go home to enjoy it. First of all there are components to this beautiful creation. The cake is a buttery decadent square with pecans. The sauce is a buttery apple concoction that's warm, so is the cake. Lastly the vanilla ice cream to pull it together. It's so rich, I split it to make 2 desserts. So delicious!!

    We had a great lunch! The food was very tender and flavorful. The service was speedy with great attitude. This has a fancy vibe but relaxing at the same time.

    Visited Amerigo's to celebrate Father's Day 2025. Food was excellent and well portioned. Our waitress Ms. Maddie was very friendly helpful and was a great server. We ordered salmon, calamari, cheese artichoke dip, pizza, chicken pasta and for dessert we had caramel brownie. Everything was very delicious. The restaurant was very clean and well staffed. Food was served in a timely manner. Highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion

    Wild Mushroom Ravioli
    John S.

    We started with an order of the Cheese Fritters, which were comprised of a fried blend of cheese on top of marinara on one side and honey mustard on the other. The blend of cheese was interesting -- I was expecting them to be more Italian-style (parmesan, mozzarella, etc.) but I found the cheddar to be the most prevalent. The breading was delicious and fried to a perfect crisp. However, I found the combination of marinara and honey mustard (and touching) to be strange. I would have preferred all marinara. For my entree, I ordered the Wild Mushroom Ravioli with a Spring Mix Salad. The salad was okay. The balsamic vinaigrette was a little too overpowering - the greens and sparse sprinkle of cherry tomatoes didn't stand much of a chance. I'd probably opt for another dressing next time. The Wild Mushroom Ravioli, however, was excellent. The mushrooms were plentiful and of high quality. The ravioli were cooked perfectly, and the parmesan sauce was creamy and decadent. The chili flakes added a subtle kick, and the spinach was a welcomed addition to the medley of flavors. I concluded my meal with the Tiramisu, which was one of the best I've had. It was more cake-like than others, which was fine by me. The vanilla cream and Kahlua chocolate elevated the dessert to another level. I'd definitely order it again. Overall, I was mostly pleased by my first meal at Amerigo. I would certainly return to explore more of the menu.

The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant itself was clean. The food had good flavor, and I would consider ordering it again. Unfortunately, it was served only lukewarm instead of at the proper temperature, which took away from the overall experience. What stood out most, however, was the presentation of the restaurant. Upon entering, I was greeted by numerous handwritten paper signs and messages written on dry-erase boards throughout the dining area. For a restaurant with mid-range pricing, this came across as unprofessional and distracted from the dining experience. I was also surprised that there was no standard silverware available--only individually wrapped, inexpensive plastic forks and spoons. As I was leaving, I noticed several customers were being served their meals in takeout containers rather than on traditional plates, which further gave the impression of a casual takeout establishment rather than a dine-in restaurant. Overall, the friendly service and flavorful food were definite positives, but the food temperature and the overall presentation of the restaurant left me remembering why I rarely choose to dine at Red Pier. With a few improvements to presentation and attention to detail, the experience could better match the prices being charged.

The…read morecelebration began with our welcome from friendly, cordial valets who genuinely seemed happy to park our car. Really! We had reservations and were promptly seated by a cordial hostess. The reason we chose this restaurant for our dinner was, simply, their grilled scallops. I've enjoyed them before and Tuesday's were even better than my recollection. The accompanying corn risotto, a seasonal special, was delicious. Its unexpectedly crunchy texture was a nice contrast to the tender scallops. We enjoyed a chilled rosé, and ended our meal with one of this restaurant's tiny-and-tasty desserts each: s'more for me, key lime for my husband. Perfect! But, my real motivation for writing this review is to compliment our waitress, Sophie. In my experience it's not easy to strike the right note when serving dinner to strangers. Sophie's work was just right; she listened to our requests, making eye contact with us both, and visiting our table at intervals that were attentive without being intrusive. The kitchen prepared appealing plates and Sophie delivered them while they were hot. Best of all, she chatted with us, shared a little if herself and listened when we reciprocated. At the end of our dinner, our car was retrieved promptly by pleasant valets, and we were quickly on our way. All in all, we had a very relaxed and pleasant evening, so thank you, Seasons 52, and thank you, Sophie!

He was then subsequently also tasked with an entire conference room full of people to serve. - When our food did finally come out, it was lukewarm and the appetizer arrived when the rest of our meal arrived, 47 minutes after we arrived. --- Total miss management of staffing!!! - Also, they are cutting back on the size of the meatballs now, which used to be a favorite. We'll think twice about returning here!

The food is always fresh and if by chance there is an issue, they readily resolve to satisfaction. While my issues have been few and very far, I've witnessed a few "challenging" guests. They were handled them with dignity and professionalism. I appreciate being able to watch sports (especially basketball) while dining. The Southwest Cobb is my favorite, mainly because of the variety of vegetables and the level of freshness. If you like spice, the blackened shrimp has an excellent kick. If playing it safe (heartburn is real), simply ask them to go lighter on the blackened. Both the Poplar Ave and Cooper Young locations have an active security guard/lot attendant on the parking lots.
