5 Star Bartender!! Although I did not dine at Armondo's (I 100% will be in the future) I had an excellent night at their bar. I came in on a Thursday Night as I was up the street buying a Christmas gift and stumbled into a friend. Wine it is! We happened upon Armando's and sat at the bar (they have outdoor seating at the bar as well) we were immediately greeted by our host who's name I unfortunately cannot recall but he was amazing! He saw I was checking out the red wines and he immediately recommended a wine that he enjoyed and it was on Happy Hour! He gave me a sample and it was delicious!! I didn't even bother trying anything else and got a glass. He was attentive all night and even brought the wine bottle over to me so I could take a pic of it! There were people sitting on both sides of us and their pizza's looked really tasty so I will 100% be back to Armando's! read more

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

Best happy hour Martini in town and their pasta is so delicious and authentic tasting. I also had the meatballs...you get two cricket size meatballs with bread for only $9.99. Love this place and I recommend you check out their happy hour. The martinis and wine are only $5 during happy hour. read more

As a traditional Italian-American I am slightly disappointed in the ambiance of this "Italian" establishment. My wife and I ordered the vegetali pizza and caesar salad I may also add that I requested 2 drinks and the wait was unfortunate as I didn't receive my first drink for about 15 minutes after I initially ordered it. What does it take to get a beer around here? Seriously! Do I have to pour it myself? However, to my surprise for how crowded the restaurant was we were met with quick service and our food was spectacular. I do have just one complaint. Our pizza was piled with a copious amount of arugula. An unusual amount that I actually found quite unsettling. Who need this much leaf? What am I? a rabbit? It was around this time I decided to order my second drink. Another 10 minute wait at least. I was disappointed as I waited until I received my second beverage to continue my meal and by that time my food had already gone cold and greasy, making my dining experience even more uncomfortable. Overall good vibes my suggestion would be to add some classic Italian music to make the experience more enjoyable, especially when you're waiting 10 minutes to get a beer. No complaints on my server tony he was excellent, but I will not be returning. read more

Had a GREAT Anniversary Dinner at Armando's Winter Park! Our server was Jonathan, and he was fabulous! He pointed out the specials and was extremely attentive to our needs. HE was not always on top of us but was always around. The Calamari was wonderful, and then we had the Pappardelle Bolognese, and the Rack of Lamb Special. It was a True Dining Experience! Now - we need to go back again! read more

Excellent food & service! PLEASE INVEST IN MORE FANS the place is HOT! Some fans in back dining room will circulate the air and make it comfortable for patrons & the staff! Everyone is sweating! Only a 3 because of the uncomfortable heat! Otherwise a 5! 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

Best pizza I've had in Orlando. It's as close to Italy as you can get here. Pricey. Maybe start happy hour earlier. Great Caesar salad with anchovies. read more

Food is great and service staff very professional. Always nice if you can sit outside weather permitting. Street is quiet and more open than being inside read more

This is my favorite Italian place in the area! I've visited a few times during dinner, lunch and brunch and the food is always perfect. My go to is the Pappardaelle di Mia and I always ask for vodka sauce. The staff is always so accommodating and friendly. read more

We love Armando's. If you want to get away from the touristy Orlando and not break a bank, come to Winter Park and enjoy the comfort Italian food and true neighborhood ambiance. They can sub out the sauces on request, and the desert menu is delicious- just ask the server as they don't have it printed. 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

We just ate here at Armanodo's last night for the first time and it was FABULOUS! Edwin was our server and he made our evening exceptional. He went above and beyond, and truly gave us 5 star service. The food was SO GOOD. . Thank You Armando's for Great food and EXCELLENT service from Edwin. We will be back again real soon. 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

Visited here for the first time the other night- I can't believe I've never been here! I ordered the house salad : the combination of pears and Parmesan cheese was delightful! Second course was a pizza- topped with eggs, mushrooms, and mozzarella-- a surprisingly delicious combo! Service was great - very attentive, but not too attentive. Waitress was very knowledgeable about the various menu items. I can't wait to go back and try their pasta! Also-- going to do my best to save room for dessert. 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

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

Armando's - Chicken Marsala (ask for spaghetti instead of mashed potatoes) - Pizza Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

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

Beautiful restaurant with plenty of outdoor seating. Great location. Great wine list and very reasonable prices. Food was excellent and the service even better. Very relaxing. 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

A favorite for locals on a side street off Park Ave. Outdoor and indoor seating. Wonderful ambiance. Enjoy a bottle of wine and antipasto platter. Delicious brunch too with $15 unlimited mimosas and $5 Bloody Marys. Pizza is good but also offer a variety of Italian dishes. One of my go to locations for events too. 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

The first thing I noticed was that Their margherita pizza I ordered for myself was more than enough for 3 people, specially for the price! It also looked and smelled amazing! The dough was great and you could tell the ingredients were fresh but I was a bit disappointed to find that the Food was a bit bland. Maybe I'll give it another try. read more

I visited Armando's for the first time and will definitely be back! I made reservations because I have heard that it is busy- and they were right. The restaurant was packed but the service was still good. I got the pappardelle alla vodka, and it was delicious! The pasta felt very homemade and the sauce was absolutely perfect. I couldn't ask for a better meal. After that I got the tiramisu which was of course also delightful. Overall I had an amazing experience and will for sure be coming back. read more

Great atmosphere and food to match. Madison hooked us up for a Christmas party reservation.

Very good service and very tasty food made with very rich sauce . The place is very quiet and very clear. I'll most definitely come back.

Went for work party. Choices were minimal and not tasty at all. Outside, they had a "bar" but only brought out 1 type of wine. If you ordered a drink, they had to go back inside and mix it. If you ordered wine they had to go back in and get it. It was meh... wouldn't go back unless it was a party I had to attend. read more

Armando's is always a great choice. We went for lunch on Sunday and sat at the bar where Eric was handling things. Great service and food, as usual. Highly recommend "Sunday in Napoli" as an entree. My wife had Spaghetti Carbonara and it was phenomenal as well. Don't forget about this gem. read more

Food was fresh and very tasty. Service was quick and thoughtful. Ambiance is romantic and cheerful.

We made a reservation for 20 on the garden patio for my daughters 18th birthday and we had an amazing time! Armandos went out of their way to make it special, even bringing out a side table for our cake and gifts, without request. The service was spot on, the food was delicious and the atmosphere gorgeous! We would highly recommend this place for any special gathering or even just night out! Thank you Armandos! read more
