Midtown will never be the same without restauranteur Randy Rayburn- but his warmth & attention to guests was s still Felt. Brunch is not only delicious but very moderately priced in an overly inflated Nashville dining scene. Guests are not customers, but friends- in our case 37 yrs!

This was our first time eating at Amerigo in Nashville, TN. We usually go to the one in Brentwood, TN but wanted to try out this location. Our waitress was fantastic and the food was amazing as well. The only suggestion I would make to the restaurant is to bus the tables that are finished eating. From the time we arrived to the time we left there were so many tables that were just sitting dirty and not being cleaned. It's not very appetizing to eat with dirty tables all around you. It was later in the evening and the restaurant was not that busy so we were not sure why nobody was cleaning. Other than that, it was a nice dinner.

Ordered the Thanksgiving take home pack and I can’t say enough good things about it. The packaging was great (sturdy and easy to reheat in the oven), absolutely everything tasted amazing - you could really tell they didn’t take any shortcuts cooking the food, the quantity was very generous, and the overall variety was exceptional. I will definitely do this again and will certainly make a point to come into the restaurant as well based on how great everything was here. Really amazing!
