The service at Amerigo's in Fondren - Jackson, MS was absolutely amazing. Michael, the general manager, was very professional, accommodating and so friendly as we celebrated our Pastor Leon Collier. The wait time was minimal for a Friday evening. Also, Jamaal & Sadie took very good care of our group. The dimly lit room set the tone for a great evening. The chicken piccata was "off the chain" delicious as was the strawberry tiramisu. We'll definitely visit again & thanks for everything. JoAnn G. read more

It's a lovely restaurant and the service is cordial and attentive. I love, love, love Italian food, so I may be a bit picky. We ordered the cannelloni and the gorganzola gnocchi. Obviously we like flavor and rich food just from our dinner choices! While everything was palatable, nothing was great. The cannelloni seemed a bit chewy to me, but, that didn't bother me, the ricotta...was ricotta and the sauce tasted like crushed tomatoes! All good, but the cheeses were almost tasteless. I just want some spices, more garlic, more pop of basil, more flavor. We ate every bite. The gorganzola pasta...surely that's got a punch! Nope. Again, palatable, but super mild and forgettable. I would eat here again if invited. I like the people and the atmosphere. I just found our choices on this visit to be quite disappointing. As a caveat, I will say, we were visiting from New Orleans. We may love rich food a little too much. We did enjoy our well mixed cocktails. read more

I'm a fan of Italian food even if it's a casual dining experience. I love the happy hour at Amerigo, as it lets me try dishes I wanted to always try but the price vs me liking it was a tough call. I'm always intrigued by lasagna so I ordered the one on the happy hour menu. I also ordered the happy hour Caesar salad. The salad was bigger than I expected given it was on the happy hour menu. It was decent but I could have used more dressing. The lasagna was good with plenty of sauce and cheese. I could taste the various flavors but could have used a touch of seasoning in the meat. I will caution anyone who goes to happy hour. The staff didn't warn me that the happy hour specials were not small portions so order accordingly as I had a lot of food to take home. Staff was sweet and packed my extras up. Made for a great lunch the next day. read more

I like any place with white tablecloths! Staff very friendly and professional. I am a big fan of Mediterranean salad. This one should have been called pasta salad. As such I would have given it five stars. But I was looking for greens. I had very little arugula but the whole top was covered in bow tie pasta....the last thing I wanted. The flavor was savory and well balanced as a whole, with interesting ingredients. I left having eaten very little. I got the standard chicken for the top and it was just meh. I am sorry to have to say this! read more

My friends and I visited the Jackson location about a week ago while we were in the area. We visited the Ridgeland location frequently, and the food and service there were always excellent, so we were excited to try this location for a girls' night. When we arrived, we waited longer than expected to be seated, regardless of there being several open tables. There was no communication from the staff about the delay, which left us feeling confused and awkwardly waiting. Once we were seated, the atmosphere was cozy and we were looking forward to the evening! After our server was assigned, her attitude was okay, but she walked away quickly after taking our order, which made it difficult to ask questions or make additional requests. The service overall felt slow. When our food arrived, it was lukewarm to cold. We ordered the same pasta we usually get at the Ridgeland location, but it was not the same. The flavor was lacking, and it did not taste freshly prepared. The only dish we enjoyed was the Caesar Salad.... Also, all 5 of us ordered an espresso martini and I ordered mine with Tito's and mine was made differently than the others which was strange. I make espresso martinis at home while maintaining the creaminess and I'm not sure what this bartender was doing. We did askfor our martinis to be creamy. Overall, this experience was disappointing compared to the consistently great food and service we've had at the Ridgeland location. read more

I tried the shrimp scampi at Amerigo in Fondren and it was delicious--perfectly cooked shrimp with rich, flavorful sauce and great balance overall. The service was attentive and warm, making the meal feel welcoming from start to finish. The ambiance is cozy and stylish, with a relaxed yet elevated vibe that's ideal for a date night or a nice dinner out. Highly recommend stopping by! read more

Amerigo Italian Restaurant - Shrimp Scampi - Italian Near Me - Jackson, Mississippi

Sever was very friendly and helpful with recommendations. The place is nice inside and elegant. Food was fresh, hot, and delicious. I had the shrimp bisque which is a nice take on lobster bisque. Then blackened chicken and 3 cheese tortellini. An pecan crumble cake with apple cinnamon pieces. The crush was the best part and I could have done without the apple pieces. Happily revisit again. read more

This review is for Fondren only. We have been 4 times since they opened and each time has been top notch in every way. Service has been excellent. From apps to the tiramisu, all of the meals have been great. A great old fashioned on 2 visits. Not sure what is different here but Flowood and Ridgeland need it. Fondren is our go to for Amerigo. It's small and quaint with a cozy feel. read more

I had such a lovely experience. I was greeted by the hostess and my party was immediately seated. The waitress did not delay and swiftly brought us bread and oil. She recommended us wine that paired well with our meals. I ordered the red fish with crawfish tails and it was delicious. I ate every crumb and the Chardonnay was tasty. The atmosphere was cozy, moody, dark but homey. Will def revisit read more

We had the red fish special tonight & it was fantastic. Our server, Scott did a great job with recommending it to us. He was super personable. We are just traveling through. We would come again if we are back in Jackson. read more

ate at the Fondren location last night. environment and service was nice, just as expected. food arrived hot! i always appreciate a hot dish! we sat in the bar area and it was busy. a few minor omissions like an offering of apps or dessert would have been a nice touch but i have a feeling none of our group would have participated. read more

Comfortable bar setting with old jazz songs playing at a comfortable volume. Terrific service and a good happy hour. The spaghetti is tasty and the bread with olive oil is fantastic. I really enjoy Amerigo in Jackson/Fondren. read more

Yes. Just yes: good service, good food, good ambience. And value for money. (Yelp is forcing me to continue typing for the character count-)

Here visiting from Texas and this is absolutely the best Italian food I've almost honestly ever had lol!! Ordered take out and waited at the bar and received the best service from the bartender. I will be back. read more

Just had lunch at Amerigo at Duling. I was really disappointed in my crab cake over beans and greens with lemon dressing. The crab cake had very little crab. About 90% bread, the greens were few with on stems and lots of beans and a teaspoon of lemon dressing. Had to ask for more dressing. Has Amerigo's changed their crab cake recipe in all locations?? If a decent crab cake can't be offered then please take it off your menu. Service was extremely slow for everything. Can I recommend this place for lunch ? Probably not yet!! read more

Amerigo Italian Restaurant - a plate of food - Italian Near Me - Jackson, Mississippi

They keep removing items from the menu... like their duck and sausage pasta. Remove something that is mediocre, like the spaghetti.

Our service was excellent. The waiters were very attentive to our needs. The food was delicious and was prepared quickly. We would definitely recommend eating here for a perfect quiet dinner. read more

I go just for the calamari. I love it . I call ahead and it's always ready when i arrive. This is the only place i go to for it.

Had an amazing meal at Amerigo's last night. The wine and food was incredible, as was the service by Mr. Justin. They have remodeled the building nicely and it looks elegant inside with the dim-lights. Amerigo has been a Jxn-area staple for a long time and I'm thankful they have come to Fondren! read more

Great food. Good vibe and ambiance. A local gem that's been around a while and is a good staple.

Attended a business dinner meeting in their back room. The food was delicious-crab cakes and the dip for apps, caeser salad, seafood pasta and pecan butter crunch cake. Everything was just amazing!! Thank you. read more

Hated to lose Babalu at this location but Amerigo is a fantastic option! Excellent food, warm ambiance, great service! Highly recommended at any of their Jackson area locations. read more

Great! I had the chicken alfredo and it was delicious! They also gave me some foccia with oil and it tasted like the bread was made fresh. And dipping the bread into the alfredo sauce....heaven! I am so happy I was recommended this place. I sat at the bar and the bartender was extremely attentive and friendly. Not pushy or in a hurry even though he was serving a full bar. The bar itself was nice as it was surrounded in windows so plenty of light came in. It is a good spot to go for happy hour or to watch a game because they have a couple tvs at the bar. Next time I will sit in the actual restaurant side. But I couldn't have asked for a better experience! read more

Loved the fresh bread with olive oil and herbs to dip. My mom enjoyed the daily special which was chicken and angel hair dish. It was divine. I had the chicken club which was unlike any other chicken sandwich I've ever had. No complaints about the service! She gave us extra bread to go. The setting made me want to dress up a little more. Will definitely be back soon. read more

Amerigo's is such a reliable mainstay with my family that it is the "go/to" when no one agrees with another eatery. Food is predictably high quality, salads are fresh, pasta is always cooked Al dente, meats are always cooked to desired temperature. Their take out service saved us during COVID shut-downs. Ambiance in NE Jackson is a bit cramped and noisy, but other locations are more well appointed read more

I love the new Fondren location!!! Amerigo is a local favorite for a reason. Everything in the menu is delicious. My favorite is the tortellini with crab. But the steaks and veal are delicious. Really good Picata and an excellent and varied wine list that includes some good quality reasonably priced wines that do not break the bank. Nice size pours on adult beverages. Try the cheese fritters!!!! read more

Amazing food and service. I recommend the fettuccine Alfredo. All the drinks and desserts are good. I also love the atmosphere here.

I just had lunch with my family and everything was delicious! We had excellent service from Rafe, he was very attentive! We will be back soon. read more

Fondren--No bread available for lunch today!!!! Someone screwed up. Everything else was fine.

Food was great, service was exceptional and ambiance was good! This was our second visit to this location since moving here in May!

We are NEVER disappointed in the consistent quality, taste, service and atmosphere of Amerigo. We prefer the Fondren location. The GM is awesome as well as staff. They even don't fuss when I sub items. We saw a recent post about Amerigo having a fabulous steak and my husband is an aficionado on steaks. He ordered one and said it was the best restaurant steak EVER. I even loved it and the mashed potatoes were out of this world! read more

Consistently delicious food. Service is always top notch. I try to go at least once a week

Food was amazing!!! Service was great.... Gluten free menu is available for people with issues. The staff is amazing
