btw,,,this is NOT where the restroom was messy!
We were on the Hurstbourne Ln Saturday and decided to try Amerigo's. On a nasty, slushy cold day the atmosphere was perfect. The wood oven smell is what grabs you first. I liked the subdued lighting and wood touches. There was a family next to us and they provided a paper top and crayons for the well behaved kids. My husband was craving plain old spaghetti, which satisfied with a deilcious marinara and a large meatball. I didn't taste that, but he said it was yummy. Soft foccacia type bread with olive oil dipping sauce was excellent as well. I tried the mussels appetizer with a side dish of their signature asiago and leek potatoes. Great choice! The mussels were large and plentiful...maybe 30? They were a bargain at 11 dollars...for an extra 2, they serve them over angel hair pasta. The broth is a delicious wine/garlic/buttter mix with a touch of tomatoes and herb. The dish comes with 2 large pieces of buttery garlic bread which is perfect for dipping in the divine broth. My husband had to help me finish them! The potatoes were SOOOO good. They are red potatoes and the skins are in the chunky dish which hints of cheese , leeks and spice . I ate about one third and saved the rest for breakfast. Oh...these are addicting. Portion size is large and I'm sure every appetizer is meant for sharing.We had excellent service. I wanted to try the planked fish, but the special that day was salmon and I was a little burned out on that. We will definitely return and try other selections.
