Bistro Amerigo has been a cornerstone of NDG dining since 2014, blending old-school Italian traditions with a welcoming neighbourhood vibe. Named after owner Steve Marcone’s father and son, this compact eatery serves up hearty, authentic fare that feels as if it’s straight from a nonna’s kitchen. The menu is stacked with Italian classics, from tender homemade meatballs to cavatelli with sausage and rapini, all complemented by a thoughtful selection of private-import wines from Rome and Sicily.
The space exudes charm, while the no-reservations policy means you’ll need patience—but the payoff is worth it. Standout dishes like fried calamari and gnocchi funghi e tartufata are the kind of meals you’ll want to savour slowly, though the generous negronis might make you linger longer than intended. Amerigo is less a restaurant and more a communal table where NDG gathers to eat, drink, and connect.
