Amerigo, the upscale, casual neighborhood Italian restaurant, is expanding in Mississippi with a new location opening in Fondren later this year. Marking its third location in the Greater Jackson area, the newest restaurant will enter a space in the historic Duling School, formerly home to BABALU, just steps away from Saltine, a sister restaurant of Amerigo within the 4Top Hospitality Group.

“We are thrilled to share that we are opening an Amerigo in Fondren later this year to continue growing our presence in and around Jackson,” said David Conn, partner at 4Top Hospitality. “As the Jackson area has faced a challenging season, we are proud to stand with this community and welcome guests, who become more like family, through our doors.
