What does a 15th-century Italian explorer have to do with one of Ridgeland’s longtime restaurants? 🇮🇹

Our next Euro Fest Foodie stop is Amerigo, named for Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci! Restaurant founders Al Roberts and the late Bill Latham opened the Ridgeland restaurant in 1987, transforming an abandoned pizza spot into a new Italian concept with a made-from-scratch menu.

Nearly 40 years later, Amerigo is still serving up Italian-inspired favorites right here in Ridgeland. 🍝

Follow along as we explore more European flavors on the road to Euro Fest! 🚗🇮🇹

There’s something special about a room full of women connecting, encouraging one another and
sharing ideas. 💙

We were proud to sponsor and attend today’s Women to Women Luncheon, hosted by the Ridgeland Chamber of Commerce, alongside women from across the City of Ridgeland, MS and beyond.

It was especially wonderful to welcome Mississippi First Lady Elee Reeves and share an afternoon centered around connection, encouragement and community.

Thank you to everyone who helped make today such a meaningful gathering. We’re grateful to be part of a community that creates opportunities for women to connect and grow! ✨
