Second, Marvin is a professional-class server; he treats every table as if it were his only one. Third, the front desk manager went out of her way to make us feel welcome on our celebration evening. If you've read Guidara's 'Unreasonable Hospitality' and wondered where to find it in Memphis, it's here.“

I get it every time.✨I dream about the thunderbird pizza. (also, all the pizzas can come gluten free! big win) It’s slightly spicy and sweet.✨I wish I could swim in the espresso martini.. I think it's the best one in Memphis. they have a revolving drink menu and I've never tried one I didn't like.my only complaint is it's a little loud in the center of the room so it's hard to hear if you're sitting at a large table.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“

“Amerigo is a great Italian restaurant for families. My one complaint is the tip is automatically added to the total bill on top of the tax which makes it even higher than standard 20%. I always tip well relative to the service, but it’s irritating to be given no choice.I understand it’s standard for large parties, but our most recent dinner was 3 adults & 2 little kiddos. Not cool.“

The atmosphere is very chill, posh feel. We went for my 30th birthday dinner, and Maryna took care of my entire party! Everyone enjoyed their food and the ambiance!! The chef Marty came out to introduce himself, he is very personable yet professional. My husband says he needs to order red trout to-go after work. My bolognese eggplant parmigiano was cooked to perfection! I have missed the realness and rawness of the flavors and ingredients! Super thumbs up, my family and friends will be back along with us!Parking: If the parking lot in front of the restaurant is full you can park right next door at shared lot.Kid-friendliness: Not a kid scene but are welcome.

Fried mushrooms were also delicious. The only drawback was that for a wood fired pizza, there was no wood fired taste. I saw the wood and I saw the fire. I think the pizza might have been better if it was cooked a few minutes longer. The crust had a good chew, but needed a bit more integrity.“

“A pleasant discovery!

The pasta was perhaps a little too seasoned for Italian taste, but it was still well executed. Only the tiramisu was disappointing, having nothing to do with the Italian original.Kid-friendliness: There is no children's menu, but I got a whole portion of pasta which I divided for my children“

Hand Tossed the Eugene Supreme Pizza

“I ordered online to pick up, I live over 30 minutes away but it's definitely worth it. Ordered 3 large pizzas, all 3 the pizza maker(s) did a great job generously applying the various toppings. Also in orders 2 orders of wings, one honey bbq and 1 mild. The honey bbq was fine, nothing really to write home about but not was a nice thick sauce, not runny or anything. Now the mild, that was a really well done Buffalo sauce. I walked in, gave my name, the cashier got my food (I had paid on the website) and I was right back out the door and headed back on the road for the 30+ minute drive home. Everyone was quite happy with this dinner and I will definitely visit this location again!! As far as inside seating it looks like there's just a few tables so it's not really designed to be an est in place more of a take away.“

The homemade bread with dipping is delicious also. My husband had seared Tuna that he loved. My pasta with crab was good, but I will opt for something else next time. Our desserts, vanilla cake with raspberry and pistachio was just amazing. My husband liked his chocolate pudding- I didn’t taste it. Such an amazing experience.

I’ll definitely be back I still want to try the muffuletta! Hopefully they’ll be prepared when I do.I did think the ordering process was awkward.

“Little Italy Downtown is the go-to pizza place in Memphis for me. The test is whether a plain cheese pizza is good, and Little Italy's plain has the perfect flavor and cheesiness which reminds me of New York pizza. Pizzas with toppings are excellent as well. Little Italy Downtown isn't great for dining in - there aren't a lot of tables, it's best if lunch or a quick dinner. Still, a slice of pizza and a can of soda are only about $8, it's the best lunch you can get at that price.“
