    Claudia, was our waitress. She was very knowledgeable and caring. Claudia went the extra mile to serve the Chardonnay that I enjoyed. Our Veal Piccata was very good, as well as our salad and dessert. We highly recommend Amerigo.

    We dined on an evening where there was a wedding rehearsal so obviously the staff and kitchen were behind. The restaurant is beautiful and everyone was very pleasant. It took about 20 minutes to get two glasses of wine from the bar. The food was good, steak was medium well after being ordered medium. Mushroom fettuccine was good. I would probably eat here again. For the price I think they could take quality up a notch.
