Definitely one of my "go to" spots. The outside patio (front always open, the back sometimes) is great even in the rain, like today. Service is great, as is the food. Here is a tip : the happy hour is really good. Beer, wine and spirits all discounted. read more

I wish I had more pictures of this beautiful restaurant. There was outdoor seating which is a plus to me, so I'm not too sure what the inside looks like. Our server was top tier! His name was John and he was at our every need and we had a great conversation through the whole night. The food was outstanding. Super flavorful, everything was perfect. I didn't picture everything I got but it was so amazing. I will be returning and you should definitely try this spot out! read more

This Winter Park spot is really kind of wonderful for Brunch. With comfortable / shaded outdoor seating, bottomless mimosas or peach belinnis and delightful food options it should have a full five stars.  However,  the server you get here will make or break your Sunday Funday. We've had amaZing service in Alessandro and one other server. After that, each time I've gone that  has been with another server, hasn't been the greatest. Drinks barely refilled, order not taken for over 45 minutes, food comes late n cold, errors on the checks, etc.  My big take away here is that I love this spot and would recommend it more if your experience wasn't so heavily dependant on your server. read more

Excellent food, service and ambience! Everything we've had has been delicious! Will return when we visit our daughter at Rollins. We've made reservations once and just walked in once - they were very accommodating both times read more

If only I could give this place a 10/10 I mean really everything was good. We were greeted immediately by a friendly host , she was kind offered inside/outside availability, she was aware of the table and courteous. We were then greeted by our server Sabrina, she was great. I liked that she was chill and attentive at the same time. It was our first time here so we didn't feel overwhelmed or pressured too hurry up and order quickly. She gave us some recommendations as well as suggestions and accommodated anything we needed. She was on her p's and q's as they say and she truly delivered thanks Sabrina! I also wanted too mention an older gentleman he was so sweet, if he was near the area he would pick up any plates we were finished with and came by too pick up anything we needed. Next the best part the food, can I say COMPLIMENTI AL CUOCO. Which translates too compliments to the chef ..... there was no flaw ... not one. Everything was PERFECT, I've never been too Italy but please if this is close then I need too book a flight as soon as possible. My review cannot do enough justice , you have too taste it for yourself. The pizza tasted as if they kneaded the dough before it came out and squeezed tomatoes by hand ugh.... It was so good. The calamari was nice and crispy ... actually perfectly fried. The espresso martini had too have been freshly picked and grounded this morning. My ravioli Al funghi was delicious ... I swapped out the sauce for Marsala sauce and ahhhhhhhh paradise flavor just bursting rampantly . I tasted the pollo alla parmigiana cheesy and saucy goodness. The rigatoni Armando's full of love a meat lovers dream I'd say. Last but not least the kicker... the Lemonchello a sweet creamy cloud that put a big red bow on my dining experience. I really truly enjoyed my dining experience and I hope it is like this all the time. The staff is excellent , the food is spectacular and the ambiance is so snug ; I can't wait too come back! Thanks Sabrina and staff, you were all so awesome :') read more

We ate at Armando's and had a fantastic time. The restaurant itself was very clean and tastefully furnished, with ample seating both indoors and out, and plenty of convenient parking. Regarding the food, their Spaghetti Carbonara was great, and their Papardelle alla Vodka was delicious! The server was warm and professional as well. We had a great time, and would highly recommend this restaurant! read more

We had our daughter's wedding reception at Armando's. From the moment we chose them, we knew we were in capable hands. The indoor-outdoor flow worked perfectly. The culinary experience was exceptional. The chef created a menu that accommodated our dietary preferences while impressing our guests. What truly elevated our experience was the service team Samuel and Capri. They were professional yet warm, ensuring glasses were never empty and that every guest felt attended to. We had an unforgettable experience that we and our guests will cherish forever.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

Armondo's Cocina Italiana is a great spot at Hannibal Square in Winter Park. There is ample outdoor seating and the weather was beautiful the day we visited. The ambiance was perfect to enjoy our meal and glass of wine. We started with the Carpaccio de Salmone and it was delicious. The flavors blended beautifully and was the perfect size to share. The Pollo Al Marsala for my main meal didn't disappoint. I love chicken Marsala and this dish hit the spot. The mashed potatoes and chicken were covered with just the right amount of Marsala sauce to be soaked into the potatoes without making them runny...Yummy. The lunch portion was huge and more than enough to leave me feeling really full. I'll be back soon! read more

This is always a solid choice for any occasion. I typically don't make reservations here if it's just my husband and I, since there's always availability. They're also very accommodating for large parties. I wouldn't go as far to say the food is authentic Italian but it's delicious and they give huge portions. read more

Goodbye Armando's Pizzeria, Winter Park, Fl., you are fired! Armandos has been our family's go-to restaurant. However, we do not recommend using the outside dining area. We were directed to a table in the sun and requested another table. The server said we could sit at the dirty table which he would have bussed. 10 minutes later, we inquired about the table. He became confrontational and aggressive shouting at us saying "if it weren't for servers, you would have nothing." Armando has spent years developing his stellar brand and service. This is a most unfortunate representation of his work and brand. read more

Popped by here since we live nearby to grab a quick appetizer to eat. We had the mozzarella stuffed fried risotto balls, and they were solid. They sat in a homemade sauce that was the perfect complement to the risotto itself. Our only complaint was that it was HOT inside the restaurant. Not sure if the A/C was out, or if it was due to the bar area opening up to the outside, but something to be aware of if you're going to check it out! read more

Wow, what a disgraced mistake for suggesting this place over our usual Italian Family's plan for dinner at Prato's instead. Sure hate it when an experience like this happened to anyone.... (Spoiler alert: Negative Racial/Asian profile & treatment) 1st (-) sign, we're waiting in line to be seated, and got passed couple of times till we spoke up about it. Didn't think much into it. 2nd (-) sign, we asked for a table of 4 adults, and 1 child in need of a high chair. While there's plenty of larger tables empty, we were squeezed into a 4-top, right in front of the kitchen area, crowded in the mist of other tables with patrons around. I must have stood there, uncomfortably, for at least 5 minutes with a 10-month old toddler in arms while waiting for someone to bring us the high chair that we were instructed "On the way". We even got our drink orders in without the server noticing that 4 adults with a toddler at a 4-top table. We had to ask for the high chair when the server brought back our drinks, really??? (+) sign, the Calamari appetizer was GREAT from the menu. The rest was down hill from there. 3rd (-) sign, we never received any bread for our table, while noticing all others around us did. We requested it twice, never came. 4th (-) sign, the dining room were unbearably warm, muggy, and hot. We had to wiped off our sweats while dining (Hint to the manager, this is NOT a good sign). 5th (-) sign, my entree order was "Chicken Picata". This is the most pathetic picata I ever had, period!! Why? The chicken wasn't even "Egg washed" at all, and there wasn't even a hint of lemon juice for the sauce. Really? Come on?!! How can a kitchen screwed up something that simple?? After a few bites into our entrees, we asked the server for boxes to take out instead. The atmosphere was TOO HOT without a hint of air movements to eat our foods comfortably. Ugh..... 6 (-) sign, the bill arrived. We paid, and quickly left the restaurant to save the 10-Month old from unbearable sweats, for some cool breeze the moment we exit the place in the mid of July, just imagine how unbearable it was inside!! When we arrived home, My Wife looked over the check, only to notice in faint ink that the "20% Service Charge" WAS INCLUDED, that was NEVER told nor informed when the bill was presented, while we left over 20% of tips in cash. I called to ask the Manager about the service charge policy, and was informed only for parties of "6 or more". Well, we were charged for a party of 4, why? We are all Asians. Born in the U.S.A. Asians, conversed ONLY in English from the moment we entered till we exited the restaurant, and still got "Taken" with the "20% Service Charge", uninformed. Humm, can you say "Asian Profiling"??? In this time & age, with all the sensitivities around our nation about "Asian" profilings, targetings, and attacks going around, and we had to experience this first hand? After 2 separate conversations with the Manager about such incident and experience, I was beyond belief with the response, and btw, it wasn't positive, nor were we satisfied with his dialogues. It is really, really sad for having to post such a review for an establishment that's been around for a long time. For almost 6 decades long of living & life experiences in this AWESOME nation of ours, we have always felt "Blended" in as others like 99.9% Americans, till now. For once, we felt the disgraced of an unequaled treatment, just for what we've happened to be "Skinned" with when we were brought into this world. Would this experience have happened "IF" we were all Caucasians? Humm?????? "Thank you" graciously for such an experience, Armando's. read more

OMG! What a disappointment! We came at 6:00 pm. Ordered pizza and salad. There were 4 of us. Salad came. We wanted pepper and no one offered. So my husband got up to get it. Cue the chair collapsing. My 76 year old husband fell to the ground. Ok. Hostess came over, apologized and gave him new chair. 40 minutes later: no pizza. We asked our waiter about the wait. He said it would be at least 10 minutes more. Seriously?! It's pizza! We asked to speak to the manager to see if at least we could get a round of our drinks (3 drinks). Nope. Too bad so sad. Too bad our chair broke in you... too bad your pizza is still at least 10 minutes away... we left with no pizza... Not coming back. And if my husband wakes up with a back ache? Calling Bogan Munns and Munns! Went to The Lazy Moon and had a delicious pizza there. read more

I've been here multiple times and it somehow gets more impressive each time. The food is phenomenal. I've had their pizza, pastas, appetizers - everything has been tasty. However, tonight I had the Pizza Rustica and the ricotta is soooo fresh, it's incredible. Probably one of the best pizzas I've had all year (and I eat a lot of pizza). The atmosphere outside is very lively and fun. It can be loud inside so keep that in mind if you have guests hard of hearing. They have a great cocktail selection and while the menu is large they've nailed every dish I have ordered! read more

I've heard so much about Armando's and it did not disappoint. We came after work and got to take advantage of Happy Hour which is until 7pm. They have some amazing food specials! Make sure to hear them all, could change your order. We came on a Friday during Lent, so no meat but there were so many vegetarian and pescatarian options! Lots of fresh seafood, especially on special. There are also wonderful pasta dishes, ravioli and eggplant. I started with the eggplant and t was served with three hearty rolls with cheese and sauce. It was filled with flavor, I enjoyed every bite! For dessert the tiramisu and cannoli are the best, make sure to save room for it! read more

My entire family and I are regulars at Armandos in Hannibal Square! We love the outdoor seating and atmosphere and FOOD. I alternate between my two favorite dishes: eggplant rollate and the salmon salad ("Insalata di salmone"). Both are amazing and I just cannot venture from them. The eggplant dish is rolled eggplant with cheesy spinach filling. The salmon salad is light and refreshing with a lot of good ingredients! The Pinot Grigio by the glass is light, refreshing, and comes nice and cold. We don't mind that the service is usually a little slow because we come to enjoy the atmosphere as well as the company we are with (and like to pretend we are back in Italy where you dine for 2+ hours!). Be sure to ask for bread as they usually do not bring it until you ask. It comes with olive oil and vinegar to dip in. My 2-year old nephew LOVES the meatballs (yes they are very kid-friendly). I would recommend making reservations, especially if you want to sit outside. read more

I went to this location for my sister bridal dinner, the service was good , very prompt. The bread with the tomatoes on top is delicious, but the bread is a little to hard. I had a choice of 3 different plates , and I got the stuffed eggplant it was so delicious did not get a chance to take a picture , but portion was not filling in my opinion. Tiramisu was good. Cons of location was crowded , mid-food , small portions, and a bit overpriced. read more

We had a great meal at Armando's in Winter Park last night. I have been going to Armando's restaurants for years and they are always good. We had Shrimp and Scallops Fra Diavolo (Gamberoni E Capesante Fra Diavolo) over Papparadelle Pasta. Delicious with perfectly cooked shrimp and scallops. Yum. We also had Risotto Alla Pescatore with shrimp, scallops, clams and mussels. Yum. The food was great and Leslie was a very friendly server. We'll be back. read more

So I live a couple of blocks off Park and walk past Armando's frequently. It's right there, and I've walked past it for a year and never stopped. The Yelp reviews stopped me. There is another location that is better reviewed. I kept telling myself I'd go there, but never did. So I finally caved and tried out this Winter Park location. We called ahead and were seated promptly. The waiter was nice. But he seemed a bit sad that we only ordered water and a calzone. He told us it was on the small side for 2 people. Because of this our friends ordered 2 pizzas to split between them. The pizza's are more of a person size. Though I think the pizza could be split, especially if you have an appetizer or dessert. We saw everyone else get bread and we didn't. I try to avoid bread, but my wife and her friend love bread. In fact, their nicknames are Bready and Bready Jr. So they asked for bread, and the server responded that they are just ordering pizza. It may be policy to not serve bread to pizza only people, which is understandable. However, there are other restaurants in the area that make no such distinction. The server didn't seem happy with us, but he was pleasant. We didn't receive very attentive service, but we really just wanted pizza, so it didn't matter much. The pizza was good, not very good, but decent. They let me try a slice and I like it, just not enough to order it myself. The calzone on the other hand was stuffed. It had a ton of cheese and was delicious. It was cooked with the ramekin in the crust, very cool. It was more than enough for my wife and I, and we didn't order an app. In fact, we were too full for dessert. I think I might get take out next time. If the service was a bit better, I'd come back for a full meal, but that will never happen now. To be fair, the hostess was awesome. And other tables seemed to receive great service, so I'm probably the anomaly. read more

Terrible. Went for dinner, ordered the diavolo and my date ordered the pollo Parmesan, we shared and had the worst food poisoning. Nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps. I was sick all night from that meal. I called the next day to see if there was anything that could be done and the manager was very rude and didn't offer anything to rectify the situation and said "we can't do anything because no one else was sick" wtf. I will never recommend this restaurant to anyone. This was also after our server forgot our appetizer and maybe came to the table at 40 minute increments. read more

Very good food, beautiful outdoor dining area, polite staff. I wouldn't recommend sitting by the kitchen, though. It gets extremely hot. We had the prosciutto arugula pizza, mussels, lasagna, cannoli, tiramisu, and 2 bottles of the chianti. The food did not disappoint and was very reasonably priced. read more

Came here for a friends going away dinner. We called earlier in the week to make a reservation. When we arrive it had rained a bit so the manager was shuffling parties around to move people inside since the front and rear patios were wet. The rain had stopped so they asked if we wouldn't mind starting on the patio and in the next 30 min they would move us inside to avoid the next wave of rain. We did and it worked out great. The manager was a very nice women. We all ordered and the food took a bit to come out. The appetizers made it out very quickly and the bar was cranking out drinks so everyone in our party was happy. The food is wonderful! Great portions and incredible flavors. Everyone of us ordered something different from their large menu. Each dish was enjoyed and shared. The one sour note from the end of the night was the server wouldn't split the check. We said at the beginning we were all going to be separate and we knew it would be mixed when we moved from the patio to the front but we tried our best to warm them. It was a song and dance at the end to try and get everyone paid up and try to rectify + validate the bill. We ended up with two extra glasses of wine on the tab which was unfortunate. Overall I'd come back for the food but the would reconsider having an event here. read more

Nice place, waiter was good. Wasn't that impressed with the pizza, (although I'm pretty picky about my pizza)!!

This place has such great vibes and food! You can dress up or just wear jeans and booties! We sat outside and it was perfect. We went on a Tuesday and their whole patio was full so I definitely recommend making a reservation. They have their FULL menu too! Not a small little menu because a COVID, they have it all and they even still have specials of the day! There is over 60 things on the menu between the apps, pizzas, salads, pastas and entrees. It was very crowded and they were under staffed so we did end up spending a little over 2&1/2 hours there. Our waitress was great and did the best she could with it being so crowded! The seafood risotto is so flavorful and HUGE! We split it between two people and still took some home. As an appetizer, we split the San Daniele pizza between the table. It had a lot of arugula so stay away if you don't like. We thought it was amazing. Large list of wines, beers and speciality cocktails. They even have blue cheese olives for the martini lovers! Happy hour includes all of their beers, house liquor and their house wine. Would definitely go back and try something else! read more

I love Italian food. I lived in New York where I was first introduced to Italian cuisine and I felt in love with since then. I try to discover all the Italian restaurants in the area where I live so I would go back to it frequently. I recently moved to winter park. I saw this restaurant yesterday and went to try it today. The food was flavorless. Their marinara sauce is decent, which I like. I ordered caprese and chicken Parmesan and my wife ordered salad with veal cutlets (instead of the chicken in the menu). The waiteress went and asked if that's possible. The answer was that is fine if we agree to pay $15 for the cutlets. We agreed. When I got the check, I was charged $26.99 (veal Marsala price). The waiter said this was manager's decision. I asked for the manager, he start blaming me and the waiter for making that deal. He didn't take responsibility for his action. In addition to that, he said that this time he will take it, but he will not allow it next time, as he was doing me a favor. He has the audacity to think that we will be back to this place again. No way! Sometimes I don't care much about the food when the management care for the costumers. I just felt bad for the waiter I give the place two stars for the waiter. read more

Armando's has always been one of my favorite places in Winter Park! Love sitting outside or inside and the food and service has always been something to rave about. Tonight was no different. My husband and I came for a date night and ordered the Carne pizza for an appetizer :) We couldn't stop ourselves and finished the whole thing! So delicious. I ordered the chicken parm and it was massive! Barely made a dent in it but it made for a great lunch the next day. My husband enjoyed his carbonara as well. A great experience but let me tell ya... if you sit inside, be prepared to SWEAT! I think it's a mix of the oven, open kitchen, and the summer heat, but WHEW! It felt like 100 degrees in there. Still worth going though! read more

My wife and I are new to Florida and our realtor took us here to celebrate the closing of our home. We were skittish about diving into Florida "Italian" so soon. We are foodies and are critical since we had access to some of NY's best Italian food. I had the Calamari for an appetizer and Pappardelle ala Vodka. I requested they add Peas and Prosciutto and they accommodated the request. The service was phenomenal. Our server was friendly and extremely knowledgeable about how the foods were prepared, the wines they served and the creative drinks they served. I never heard of a Limoncello Mojito and it was great! The calamari and the Ala Vodka were legit. The meal was genuinely good. Was it the best Italian I've ever had? No. Have I had worse? Oh yea! If I had this meal in NY is would be 3.5 stars if I could give that rating. Since this os Florida and water differences contribute to so much difference in taste, I have to give this place 4 stars for creating dishes that tasted like they could have been served in New York. If I am ever in Orlando again, I will eat here. read more

THIS PLACE DOES A GREAT JOB. Guys at the bar are so friendly. They are missing a pretty face that I'm sure many regular clientele are missing, but let's hope that is resolved soon. Great atmosphere and good "Italian inspired" menu (not authentic Italian but good stuff). Solid menu items and good portions at reasonable prices. Sort of Italian American bistro. Steak is one of my favorite specials. We really like this place. Oh, and good happy hour for us locals Bread situation resolved. Much better than before. Still not my taste but I'll take it. THANK YOU. read more
