Not worth the bother or the wait 1/5/2008

Came on the recommendation of friends after our favorite Italian restaurant nearby (Gio's) closed, & we won't return here. Even tho we had reservations & were on time, we had to wait 20 min in the smoky bar before our table was ready. Our waiter claimed to be very knowledgeable on wines, but who was he trying to kid? When I asked for a moscato or vin santo for a dessert wine (even spelled it out for him), he brought a bottle of muscat. We sent the bottle back asking for his supervisor, and he said they never heard of moscato. An Italian restaurant that never heard of moscato? That's like saying New Yorkers never heard of Bloomberg. Unbelievable! Aside from that, the food was average, service was slightly lackadaisical at best, and everything we had was overpriced for its quality. Amerigo's seems to have an excellent client base, but as with our friends who recommended it, they've been going here since it opened and don't know there are far superior newer places in the neighborhood with much better fare and less expensive food & wine lists. This place is one of the few Woodlands locales where it's prestigious to ""be seen"", but I won't take lousy service with overpriced average food just because it's trendy to be seen here any day.
