Our Team

Casey & Nancy Kosh

Owners

In 1989 Casey and his wife Nancy opened a small Italian restaurant in Spring, Texas called Amerigo’s Seafood and Pasta when their daughter, Tina, was only three months old. It was such a hit that they decided to open Amerigo’s Grille in The Woodlands, Texas in 1994. It was the first upscale restaurant in The Woodlands and remains a premiere destination for fine dining.

Arturo Osorio

Executive Chef

Amerigo’s Grille is honored to have Chef Arturo Osorio since opening day in 1994. Today, Chef A remains the driving force behind the innovation that keeps Amerigo’s a Woodlands favorite. Though the menu is primarily Italian, Chef Arturo brings his cutting-edge flair to the table by exploring Texas’s wild game and fresh seafood. “Being selective about my ingredients is the most important thing I do in the kitchen,” explains Arturo. “I import my pasta and cheese from Italy, and my seafood is delivered daily from the most reputable fish markets around. I also take advantage of the beautiful local produce found practically in our back yard.” It’s this selectivity that elevates Arturo’s creations to a higher level of sophistication and keeps Amerigo’s consistently at the top of their market.
