    Pesto pasta
    Latoya L.

    Came to this establishment on a Sunday evening. We didn't have reservations, but it only took less than five minutes to get a table. They brought out complementary bread with oil. I wish it was warm, but that was OK. The oil tasted horrible. Like it was vegetable oil. We then ordered the blood orange soda and the lemon lime soda, which were good. We then ordered the spicy rigatoni and the pesto pasta. I didn't like the spicy rigatoni. The pasta was way too al dente , it taste very undercooked. The pesto pasta was also very al dente. It was hard to enjoy with the pasta being hard. The bill came up to $70. This is a one time experience for me.

    Today was a knockout experience, in no small part due to our server Bruno. Everything was just right, just simply wonderful.

    I thought the experience at Amerigo was very good. We sat a party of 12 on time for our 6:30pm reservation. Our waiter was always attentive, the food was delicious, and the plus side is BYOB! I would definitely dine here again

    This was our 2nd visit to Amerigo and it was just as good as the 1st. We were a party of 6 and everyone was really happy with their dishes. To start, my husband and I shared a delicious Caesar salad. My entree, fettuccine with spinach and shrimp in a garlic olive oil sauce, was absolutely delicious and my husband loved his veal francaise with roasted potatoes. The atmosphere is relaxed and the service was excellent.

    Don't order delivery. Worst kids portion- $19 for butter pasta and it's not homemade and it was a side dish. Ridiculous

    Had an excellent meal at Amerigo! The staff was so attentive and gave us great recommendations. I started off with the Fried Calamari, Rustic Bruschetta & Clams Oreganata... all were fantastic but the Fried Calamari is a must try! It was FRESH, none of that frozen stuff here! The Spicy Rigatoni Vodka was DELICIOUS and so was the Lasagna Bolognese! Make sure to save room for dessert, the tiramisu is to die for a made fresh in house! Such a fantastic meal here, I will definitely be back soon!

    Fresh bread and Olive oil...

    Great new addition to the Berkeley Heights restaurant scene. As soon as I saw one of my favorite restaurants in Summit Fiorinos was opening a new restaurant nearby I couldn't wait to check it out. My husband and I went for dinner tonight and it did not disappoint. We didn't have a reservation but were immediately greeted by the lovely hostess Nicole who showed us to a table for two. They were filling up pretty quickly for a Tuesday so reservations would probably be a good idea in the future. We were quickly greeted by our server David who was very friendly and took our drink orders while we perused the menu. We were served some ice water and some fresh bread and olive oil. The restaurant is BYOB and many patrons brought their own wine selections with them. The decor was very modern and inviting and they also had seating outside as well. David returned to take our orders and we went with the Calamari and Mussels to start and for the Mains I had the Fettuccine Alfredo w/ Chicken and my Husband had the Grilled Pork Chops. The Appetizers arrived after a short wait and the Calamari was fried to a crispy golden brown w/ a nice Marinara sauce and the Mussels were served in flavorful tomato based broth w/ basil, garlic, and white wine... Very good! Then the mains arrived... Everything looked great! My husband took a bite of his pork chop and couldn't wait for me to taste it. He said the combination of the pork and apple chutney were perfect together and I agreed. My fettuccine was great as well. Pasta was cooked Al dente and the sauce had a great flavor. Also the owner stopped by our table to greet us and see how everything was. He was making his rounds chatting with everyone, that's always a nice touch. So this was definitely a great evening that didn't disappoint so I highly recommend you pay them a visit.

    Very close to being a top notch experience, but some things were off-putting. Let's start with the positives. Now, this location has gone through multiple changes over the last 10 years. First it was an Asian place, then a "traditional" feeling Italian place, now this a modern trendy Italian place. Interior is very pretty. I love the skylight in the middle. For a Tuesday night, this place was very active (even the outdoor dining). Our server Bruno was very attentive and professional. All of our food was pretty much a hit. Calamari was the perfect size (I don't like the massive rings, too chewy) and the breadcrumb seasoning was tasty. Also enjoyed the marinara - tasted how you would hope it would. The clams oreganata was also great. I enjoyed dipping my bread into the sauce. OH THE BREAD, how could I forget the bread. 3 different kinds, ones better than the other. Chef's kiss. My Mom and Dad both enjoyed their pasta dishes. I will say, when we first walked in the hostess and other wait staff at the front did not look happy we walked in, almost pissed. Also the person giving us water also looked bothered. Not saying you need to be dancing and cheerleading, but a smile goes a long way. Also- please change your oil that you use with the bread. The bread is stellar, but the oil tastes like...a weak flavorless oil. Almost like vegetable or something. Bring out the good olive oil.

    Amazing food and service! Had a large party come here and they were very accommodating and made our experience great

    Chicken parm, delicious!
    Terra B.

    From the amazing service to the incredible food Amerigo is a wonderful experience! Even the small touches like the artisan crafted light fixtures and reclaimed barnwood tables make it feel like you're in someone's home. Don't skip the tiramisu. Highly recommend!

    A new cozy space where you feel like you are in your mother's dining room. The price is right and the Italian American fare is great. You can taste the freshness of the sauce and pasta. I've been. Here for a business lunch and dinner. Both times the experience was great and my guest raved about the food. Eggplant Parm and squid ink pasta 10/10. Happy to have this gem in the area.

    They open at 5pm. I arrived at 5:05pm and they were still conducting a line up. I asked the waiter "my neighbor got food here and said it was the best chicken parm ever. i'd like to place a take away." "No problem sir, one moment." A rude hostess showed up after and said they don't offer take away orders. The place is brand new and you would think they would make an exception to secure a loyal customer. I thought wrong.

    Great little find in a strip mall in the center of Berkeley Heights. Went for lunch with a friend love the decor, love the feel, staff was very friendly and accommodating. The food was quite good. It was simple and tasty. The place is huge. It has a back room for a private party. Everything is clean and neat. You are not rushed and I think it's a great place to bring a family or a date or a great place for lunch with some friends.BYOB another plus! The private room is great for a birthday party or anniversary even any kind of bridal a baby shower if that is the kind of cuisine you want.

From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. Our server was attentive and professional, the food was excellent, and the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and quietly classy--ideal for a relaxed lunch and conversation. I started with the Candy Roaster Squash & Coconut Soup, a vegan dish with a warm, sweet, and hearty flavor profile. It was absolutely perfect on a cold winter day. For my entrée, I ordered the Brewer's Burger with pepper jack cheese, caramelized onions, pickles, lettuce, tomato, rosemary aioli, and a side of frites. The flavors came together beautifully--salty, sweet, and savory notes all working in harmony. Truly a dance in your mouth. One additional detail worth noting: the gender-neutral accessible restroom was spotless and had a very pleasant odor. It was top-notch, just like everything else about this restaurant. I would absolutely return.

The Nashville Hot Fried Chicken Quesadilla had solid heat, melted pepper jack, pickles for snap, and a ranch drizzle that kept it balanced. The food was strong across the board, and their lineup of in-house brews added a unique twist. We enjoyed the visit and will absolutely come back to explore more of the menu.
