I really like the atmosphere of Armando's in Winter Park. They've got plenty of outside seating. I was there on a Friday night and they expand their outside seating into a blocked off side street. I had the gnocchi and it was cooked as expected. The sauce was ok, but a little too creamy for me. I prefer a straight up marinara sauce and given the menu description of plum tomato sauce, I didn't expect any creaminess to the sauce, so I was a bit disappointed by that. Several of their dishes seem to have a cream base, so next time I'll order pizza. read more

I visited Armando's for my bestie's 22nd and left with mixed feelings! I ordered the spaghetti carbonara & the Caesar salad. Both were very good but the service was left up to my imagination practically. It took an hour after seating just to get bread! It took an hour & a half just to order. The price of the food should warrant exceptional service. There was one angel in this purgatory, manager Alberto! He aided in every single thing as soon as we expressed our frustration. Would only come back here to see his face! read more

Ordered via Uber Eats. The order was made quickly & accurately, but that's about where the positives end. The food tasted just ok. My biggest issue is the value and poor quality. The portions were insanely small, especially for the price. Ordered Pappardelle with Vodka Sauce, Mushroom Raviolis, and Spinach salad. It was a $50 meal. It was 5 raviolis with barely enough sauce to cover them (~$20 entree, no protein) and the pappardelle pasta was half dry, clumped together, and smaller than what you'd get in a lunch sized portion from olive garden (also a ~$20 entree, no protein). The spinach was straight out the bag, half of it old & already turning with like 2 cherry tomatoes and a scattering of pancetta chunks (I did request no onions, which they honored). That's it. It barely fed one of us. Save your money & your time. There are a hundred Italian places in town better and more worth the price. Honestly, I'd even put the corporate chain restaurants above this one. Will not be ordering from here again. read more

So it starts when the host asks if you have a reservation. Ever tried calling them? No one answers. So no. Empty restaurant, early-ish on a weeknight. Feeling welcome.... not. Server was a truly pleasant person who just wasn't a good server. Little silly things like...one of the people in our party asked for salt and pepper...long wait...she puts it on the other side of the table while he is sitting there with his hand out. I know, nitpicky right? Just one of many little things. Food okay. Undercooked chop, description and reality varied a bit but overall fine. I guess everything was fine. Not 3 stars but barely 4. Didn't go much beyond a Carraba's kind of meal. Which is also fine. The biggest thing for us is that we pass many favorites closer to home to try this place and it didn't make the drive worth it. If I'm in the area again, sure I'd swing in I suppose. But I won't put it on the rotation of "must go" places. read more

TERRIBLE SERVICE. Goodbye Armando's! I have dined there for years but this service and response by the management was so bad, I won't go back. We had a party of 4 and it took a very long time to get to order and then they switched servers on us without any notification. It then took over 1 1/2 hours to get our food and after that one of the dishes was the completely wrong meal. It took another 30 minutes to bring the correct meal and by then everyone was done eating. No manager ever came to apologize and we were not given a discount on our meal. I wrote a letter and email to the management and they never replied. When I drove to the restaurant and handed them the printed letter the management did not apologize and did not provide a discount. Their service was terrible and they made no effort to make it right. I do not recommend this restaurant and won't be back. read more

Food here is good but the service is so slow that it ruins the good deed of the chef. I have always liked Armandos but upon my return I realized why I don't go more often, the service. It is a slower pace than what I like, perhaps they should have more servers and each cover a smaller amount of tables. That being said, had this sausage pasta that was pretty good. read more

High scale Italian food in North Winter Park. Everything I've tried is minimal but decadent (Not too many ingredients in one plate). Faves: - Lobster Ravioli (salty, smooth texture, small plate but filling) - Spaghetti Carbonara (salty, no protein except bacon) A Ok! - Carpaccio di Carne e Pere (thinly sliced raw beef, loved the hints of pear) - Parppardelle Bosciola (pasta was thick, and heavy on mushroom taste) I would definitely recommend this place for a date night, especially if your loved one loves wine. Their wine list is very extensive! Overall, the menu items are pricey, but I think I received my money's worth. read more

Have been here many times and usually everything is pretty point on. Our experience this weekend was blah. The restaurant was warmer inside than outside and we were very uncomfortable the entire meal. The restroom situation is a joke , both rooms were being taken for over 10 minutes by male employees. Caprese salad and Cesar were good, asked for bread and it was hard and stale. I wanted a pasta dish and wanted to try something different, ordered the pappardelle de Mia , I thought the salmon would be a good choice but it was all chopped up and mixed in the pasta, it tasted slimy. Ugh I have a feeling it was an off night but the whole night and experience was blah. read more

I went to Armando's the other night with my mother and sister, as she had just flown into town from half way across the country and was in need of something to eat that was not simple meat and potatoes. We had already done a drive down Colonial, and while the idea of Vietnamese food wasn't a bad one, there was still some hesitation on their part, so instead I took a turn down 17/92 and headed towards Winter Park. Driving around there a little bit, we finally turned down New England Dr and saw the variety of places to eat along this section, at which point my sister directed us to find a parking spot and that one of the restaurants along there would be the place that we ate that night. That ended up being Armando's... and it was a good choice. We decided to eat outside, which suited us quite well as the evening wasn't that hot (it had rained earlier in the day, cooling things down a bit) and it was relatively quiet. We did go inside to use the bathrooms, that sort of thing, and found the interior to be quite noisy. Happy hour was happening, so beers and cocktails were ordered along with water, and we decided on a appetize of the mussels. Along with this Armando's also brings out a bread basket with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The vinegar seemed to be sunk under a small lake of olive oil, so I passed on it and ate the bread straight, which was very nice. While waiting for the mussels to arrive, we also ordered our main courses. I ordered the spaghetti carbonara, my sister ordered the gnocci, and my mother got the chicken marsala. I asked if they could do the carbonara using linguini, but unfortunately their next wider noodle turns out to be pappardelle, which is simply too wide a noodle for a carbonara... I feel the maximum width of a noodle for carbonara should be somewhere around tagliatelle or fettuccine. Spaghetti would have to do. Our mussels came out, and they were good. The broth they were served in was a bit heavy in butter, but that was alright. We made due, and the bread that had been served earlier worked very well with this broth, too. We found only one dud mussel in the batch, which isn't bad (by dud, I mean we simply could not get it open... it was solidly closed up). Soon after this, pretty much perfectly on time, our mains came out. I really enjoyed my carbonara, though it was a lot drier than I have experienced in the past. The use of actual pancetta was a very nice touch, but I think it could have used a bit more cream to make it more of a sauce. Mind you, it was still very good, just not quite what I was expecting in consistency. Frankly, I wouldn't necessarily change the recipe... it was just different, and the taste was excellent. I did try my sister's gnocci and my mother's marsala, and both were also very nice. No complaints from either of them about the food! We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Armando's, and we are very likely to return sometime in the future as it is tough to find a truly good Italian restaurant. read more

Laura was he absolute BEST SERVER that I've had in this life time. She magnifies the atmosphere with her radiant HOSPITALITY and subtle charm. Not to mention she was working her tail off. I can't thank her enough for making our date night special. The food was by far the best Italian food that we have ever eaten. It is rare that such delicious food is chosen from a menu with as many options as they provide. We shared the Calamari Luciana as the appetizer which was what we thought was the most flavorful dish we would have. Then we started on our entrees, Spaghetti Ala Norma and the Pollo Vesuvio, and we had to recoup. EVERYTHING WAS SO DELICIOUS, We just left and are making plans to go back. I look forward to coming back to Armando's as soon as possible. read more

I called early in the week to make reservations for 8 to celebrate a birthday. When I arrived I asked if any of my party was there, since i did not see them in the front room. I pointed to the backroom and was told that was a private party back there. It's August, its 91 degrees and they directed me outside and I saw that 4 of my party were already seated and had ordered drinks. My sister arrived a little later and asked if they had anything inside and was told no. My 89 year old aunt had driven in from Debary and doesn't know Winter Park that well and since some had already ordered, it wasn't practical to leave and go elsewhere. When I told the manager how disappointed I was, he told me my reservation had "outside" on it. I told him I certainly was not told I would be outside, that's absurd, who makes reservations outside in August? All in all the food was not bad and the service was ok, but not real friendly. Not ever going back. read more

I wasn't going to originally post a review until I got sick at 3am the night after eating here. This was our first time and we started off with what I can assume is not fresh calamari as it was cold and bland. I noticed other tables got bread but we didn't so I asked our server for some but it also came cold and didn't taste fresh. Our entrees were really terrible, I'm fairly sure my chicken was raw so I spit it out and left it, only eating the bland pasta. It looked like the chicken was all boiled and served over very al dente pasta and some watery sauce since both plates has bland chicken. We were tired and starving so we just ate and left but wow, extremely disappointed in our experience. Sorry to say all the food was bad since I had high hopes based on other reviews. With the prices I expected good quality Italian food but that wasn't the case. The service was also pretty awful, from the host to the server, not very friendly or welcoming. read more

Short answer: truffle fries, delicious. Mediterranean salad, delicious. Veal parmigiana, very good…read more Longer answer: those truffle fries though?! Yes, their flavor was good, but I was mostly impressed with the perfect cook. Just the right amount of crispy outside, soft inside. These surprised me cos honestly, they're just fries, right? But these were very, very good. The Mediterranean salad was a pleasure to eat. Fresh ingredients, perfect ratio of ingredients to lettuce. Also, perfect amount of dressing that came on the side (I didn't ask for this, so I wonder if it's just automatic). I don't like salad swimming in dressing, and the amount they have lightly coated everything. Just how I like it. The veal parmigiana hero was also good, but I did find myself adding pepper, oregano and crushed red pepper flakes to it. The bread was hot and soft, and I also kinda wanted more meat on it. But it was still delicious. I could o it finish half, but of course I had salad and some fries, too. Service was friendly and attentive, but not overbearing. The ambiance was also excellent. They had a great playlist going that had me softly dancing in my seat the entire meal, and it was quiet enough that I could hear the conversation from my friends without anyone yelling. I will definitely be back! How can I not? There were so many other things on the menu that I wanted to try. Oh, honorable mentions since I didn't take pictures of anyone else's food: 2 of my friends got small veggie calzones and another friend got eggplant parm with spaghetti. They all liked everything, and we all took doggy bags. Not because we didn't like it, it was just big portions.

The way the crust gets perfectly crispy while the base stays soft is so satisfying. I love the whipped ricotta and hot honey with their small pepperonis. This place is modest in design but the pizza is top notch. I usually get two meals from their 4-piece pizza because it's so packed with toppings and the thick style of the crust. Their ranch is also awesome as a topper or to dip. There is a little parking lot across the street, marked with signs, that you can use and walk across at the crosswalks.

i don't think i can give this place another chance & i am VERY hard to disappoint…read more this is a culmination of 3 visits, so it's accurate that i've come to a negative conclusion. first time. my buffalo pizza wasn't cut but my pepperoni one was. no biggie. second time. i got the KBar. it was floppy and not cooked throughly. no problem. maybe an off night. third time. unacceptable. i got a crimson ghost and ordered online. i got there 4 min after the promised time to be ready. when i got there not only was the host aloof, but they said they needed an extra 20/25 for my pie. there was only 4 tables and at the end of their meals. they clearly forgot. it was about 28 minutes when i got my pie. it was missing basil... and it was cold. it's like they're trying to give me bad experiences. do not recommend going here. trust me. i've tried three times. just go to lazy moon instead. regards, GTB

Today almost turned into a really bad birthday dinner day for my fiancé , but 1803 Pizza/Kitchen…read morecame through in the clutch! I like to take the focus off me by saying I have a procrastination demon because I can wait until the last minute to plan things . Unfortunately, I ran behind at work today and we had a 5:30 reservation for Bar Italia. I've only been there one other time and when I went, it was still fairly new to the area so it wasn't busy. Apparently the residents of Winter Park have now adopted this spot as their official happy hour headquarters because this place was PACKED. I messaged the staff ahead of time letting them know we were running late and asked if we could move our reservation, but unfortunately they told us there weren't any later reservations available. We still decided to drive there anyway since we'll take you without a reservation. Upon arrival, there were already several groups ahead of us asking about seating and everyone was being told the same thing: they were no longer taking reservations for the night and to try back again in 30 minutes. (I didn't expect to be accommodated because I know we were late so please don't take this as me complaining; I am just giving the complete run down.) Thankfully, I had a backup restaurant for us to try which was 1803 Pizza/Kitchen. I had read some reviews that were amazing and some that were kind of on the fence, but I figured we should just try it for ourselves. Surprisingly, there was only one other table dining inside when we arrived, but there were several people constantly coming in and out picking up to-go orders. It felt like a cozy family neighborhood restaurant, I really like that feeling. We ordered the house salad, fries, Margherita pizza, and chicken parmesan, which is made a little differently because the pasta is tossed in vodka sauce instead of marinara. The salad was simple but SO good; it's also enough to share. The balsamic really made the salad and everything tasted super fresh and crisp, which I appreciated. My fiancé doesn't eat onions so they accommodated us by using grape tomatoes instead of their normal tomato/onion blend which was really nice. I'm usually not a huge fan of ordering fries at restaurants because a lot of times they taste like they came straight from a freezer bag , but these honestly tasted like fresh fries and were so good! They also had some sort of seasoning on them that wasn't overly salty but added so much flavor. Our food came out quickly and both entrées were served at the same time. The pizza had the perfect amount of bite, although I do wish the center crust had been just a little firmer. Overall though, the flavor was great. The crust was airy and light, the sauce was delicious, and we genuinely enjoyed everything we ate. My only small pet peeve is that I don't think the pasta itself was freshly made, and that was one of the reasons I originally wanted to try the restaurant because I had read reviews saying they offered fresh pasta. But honestly, everything was still delicious regardless. We ended up getting dessert to-go, so I don't have a review for that just yet, but if it's anywhere near as good as the food was, I already know we're going to enjoy it too!

Recently stopped by 1803 Pizza Kitchen over the weekend while in the Audubon Park area and boy…read more.. was I pleasantly surprised! This spot is located right next to Big Daddy's bar. There is some parking around the area....as well as street parking close by. The restaurant inside is smaller but super quaint, with both seating inside and outside. The decor gives a very modern, pizzeria chic vibe... a cute place for a date night or nice family dinner spot. For food, we all had our own individual sized pizza. I ordered the Pesto Arugula pizza that was recommended by our server. The pizza was sooo delicious... I loved the house-made pesto and the creamy burrata cheese. My friends ordered the Pizza Bianca and Pepperoni Pizza and they enjoyed their pies as well. 1803 Pizza also has a huge selection of signature desserts! We were all so stuffed from dinner that we ended up not trying any... but definitely will be back to try some in the near future. Overall, I really enjoyed my first visit at 1803 Pizza Kitchen. The pizza was absolutely delicious and the service was phenomenal. I would definitely recommend this pizza spot for anyone who is around the area looking for some good eats.

Absolute stunning dish. And the garlic bread is a MUST.

I had the local lager on tap. We each had a personal pizza, I got the spicy selection and it was spicy enough. I loved the petite red peppers on the pizza.

The garlic knots are…read moreto die for, the pizza was good we tried the "bullshit artist" this isn't a pizza that's a traditional style pizza. It's basically a chicken bacon ranch pizza. Again it was good but wasn't our favorite part of the meal. The rigatoni pasta with meatball added was absolutely amazing though! Probably the best pasta and meatball I've ever had from a restaurant. Our server Cherub was amazing as well. Very friendly and attentive. My only complaint would be the pricing $21 for the size of the pizza we received seems a little steep. My friend had a margarita and I had an old fashioned. $12 each for those drinks.... Aside from spending way more on dinner than we originally anticipated the atmosphere was nice and our overall experience was great. Would 100% recommend just be mindful it's not a cheap place to eat but it's also not your typical boring pizza place.

I appreciated it because I wasn't sure if I needed to go inside to let somebody know I sat down. Our server was super friendly and even offered a water bowl for my dog. Looking over the menu, I wasn't really sure what to get and our server recommended the tight socks, pizza and the garlic knots. She definitely pointed us in the right direction. I absolutely love the garlic knots although I wish they tasted a little bit more fresh and warm- the garlic taste was out of this world. Once I tried the sauce, I knew pizza was gonna be great (and it was!) I decided to also put in an order for the meatballs. The meatballs and the pizza came out there roughly around the same time. The meatballs were so great. I even forgot to take a picture. The outdoor patio at the time was very quiet and conveniently shaded because of the time of the day. Although I can't say that the chairs were the most comfortable for a pregnant woman, I did really enjoy my time outside with my dog. Overall, I was extremely impressed with the food and would 100% come back. Next time I want to try to dine inside too.
