Decades before celebrity chefs like Giada De Laurentis and Mario Batali brought fine Italian dining into our living rooms courtesy of television’s Food Network, Amerigo taught Jacksonians how to enjoy refined Italian fare at its Ridgeland restaurant.  

In the constant revolving door of new restaurants that have come and gone, Amerigo has maintained a strong presence in the Jackson area restaurant scene since 1987. And, it shows no signs of stopping the production of made-from-scratch pastas, sauces, pizzas and other Italian dishes that became instant hits when it opened on Old Canton Road between County Line Road and Lake Harbour Drive.
