Double-cut pork chops arrive from Waterproof, La., and fresh fish is flown in daily to be served at the restaurant in Westgate Commons off Moores Lane in Brentwood. We go that extra mile, literally and figuratively, to serve our friends foods they'll keep coming back for. True to its neighborhood feel, Amerigo features an herb garden with sweet basil, thyme, rosemary and sage. Patrons are invited to cut fresh herbs to take home for their own cooking endeavors. Beyond good food, Amerigo also is about families and today's lifestyles.
Children are welcome.
Tables are covered with white paper for young diners to color on. There's literally something for everyone, including those who have passed the 40-year mark and sometimes struggle to read the menu. Amerigo provides loaner reading devices to help those who have a hard time after forgetting their bi-focals at home.
