Lake Nona-I hadn't planned on writing a review for Armando's. BUT...We were astonished by the end of our meal when we got our check!!!! There were three of us, and we decided to share a pizza, and then get 3 entrées. While looking over the menu, our waitress stopped by to ask if we had any questions. Two of us wanted the same dish, although we do not like spicy sauce. The waitress mentioned that we could have whatever sauce we would like. We both agreed that we would like to try the vodka sauce. Our food came out and my New York girlfriends agreed that the pizza was very lackluster and had no flavor. I do not care for the pizza in Orlando, so I am not a good judge of character on that!! lol Two of us got the Gamberoni with scallops and shrimp, along with the vodka sauce. The other entrée was a chicken piccata. The taste was delicious, but the taste that was left in our mouth at the end of the night was very very bitter. They actually had the nerve to charge us FIVE EXTRA dollars for our vodka sauce!!! The waitress never said a word to us and we had no idea. Weren't you going to put the sauce on in the first place????? Yes, yes you were, so why in the world would you charge us extra for a sauce you are already going to put on the entrée ?????? Especially without telling us???? We definitely will NOT be back to this establishment.

It has been a while since I visited Armando's. A few years ago I would meet with a small group of friends for brunch in the Winter Park location. We always had a great time and the service awesome as usual. Recently this year, 2024, I was able to go to the Lake Nona location with the hubs to try it out and enjoy some pizza together. The location is nice, ample seating, nice terrace overlooking a small lake and good parking. The service was great and the complimentary bread with dipping oil and balsamic plus the pizza were also great. However, I still prefer the restaurant in Winter Park...I don't know, call me nostalgic maybe. So after a few months, this July, we went with another group of friends to Armando's Winter Park. The older establishment felt familiar and cozy with it's rustic ambience. We just had a great time! Ordered the Carne Pizza which I shared with the hubs. Came out nice and hot and the meats were fresh and tasty. Although my favorite is the Prosciutto e Fichi (fig jam) but we were celebrating a late very late Father's day so we went with the hubs preference. I will definitely be back to Armando's WP but I will wait for cooler temps before I visit the one in Lake Nona so I can eat out on their new terrace. It has a nicer view. I recommend both locations but all in all, I recommend you visit Armando's for some really good food! That's all folks! (sorry no pics of the food or location)

We went to the Lake Nona location with a group of about 12 people and it didn't disappoint. We had a 530 reservation and had outdoor seating in the back overlooking the water view. The food was delicious and service was excellent. We were there until about 8 eating and taking pictures with the great view. Prices were a little high but was well worth it!

Party of 11---Big food portions , food was fresh and very tasty, only a few reasons for a 2i because service didn't offer refills just once and food for 11 people came out at all different times times. Some were done while others waited. Again had to try to get attention of our server to get refills for soda and bread also Parma cheese.Also read heath code violations. Honestly was disappointed we had 5 separate checks and 2 were single only they added gratuities thought that was for 4-5 only . Anyways we will be having family gatherings elsewhere disappointing. We were the only ones in the restaurant. There were two tables outside plenty of servers, but they were just chatting amongst each other.

This wasn't my first visit to Armando's and it certainly won't be the last! I've been coming to this restaurant since they first opened, and have never been disappointed. If we sit at the bar, the bar tender is always friendly and attentive. If we sit at a table, our waiter or waitress is always also friendly and attentive. The pictures I posted are a variety of ones I have from different visits there.They are dog friendly, so we usually always sit on the outside patio, and all of the staff is always more than happy to say hello to our dog, and they even have water bowls for dogs!The food is always good. I always get the Calamari Luciana, and then my entree pick always varies. The two photos I posted are the Chicken Marsala, and the Salmon Sofia. I also posted photos from my birthday when they brought me a free dessert!The ambiance is always good, can be loud inside, especially on the weekends. But it's always peaceful to sit outside by the little lake beyond the restaurant.Also wanted to shoutout to our waiter from the other night Rudy. He was incredible and really went above and beyond to make our night out there extra special! Thanks for all you do!

Had a great little Valentine's dinner here at Armando's. It was our first time there and it was very pleasant. We were seated immediately since we had reservations which was nice but I wasn't the biggest fan of where we were. We were seated in the corner next to the rack of plates, silverware and to go boxes which meant lots of waiter traffic. Oh well, couldn't really help that I guess. Food was out very quickly and tasted very fresh and flavorful! I really loved my scallops and pasta. Our waiter was great and friendly but he did seem to disappear after we got our food which left us waiting for quite some time to get the check. We also grabbed our own to go boxes since they were right there. I'll chalk that up to it getting busier during the night so no biggie. I would likely return and hope to sit out on their patio on a warmer night!

Upon entering we were sat in the corner and shortly greeted by a rather hurried server. Armando's has a great menu with a wide array of selections. We started our dinner with the Calamari. After tasting the appetizer I would not recommend such. The appetizer was overly cooked and very chewy. As for our server no where to be found. He simply was in too much of a hurry to even listenWe noticed bread baskets being brought to other tables with olive oil and what seemed to be a balsamic reduction. However our server just couldn't be bothered with that. Next we ordered two meals one was the pollo Tatiana which was good but only wished we could have had the option of cracked pepper and parmigiana cheese like what other servers were giving to their guests. My wife had the shrimp carbonara which again could have been elevated with cracked pepper and parmigiana cheese. From seeing how other servers took care of their guests would I come back, maybe. If one was to try Armando's they certainly would do great to not have the server that parades himself with his shirt half buttoned. Finally one should add if one desires a refill on their beverage it behooves them to ask the bar tender or another server for our server was too busy talking to others to care.Finally my toddler had to get McDonalds after leaving because the pizza was too burnt.

This was our first time at Armando's. We came here looking for an Italian restaurant with a variety of choices, including pizza, and we were very pleased. The place was nice and the staff super friendly. We ordered a vegetarian pizza and the prosciutto e fich pizza after a suggestion of our waitress. I was a bit hesitant since I had never tried figs on a pizza before, but it was fantastic! It was so much better than the traditional ones! We will come back and order that specific pizza soon enough! As starters we ordered fried calamari and french fries with Parmesan and truffle oil (my favorites) and for dessert we ordered an orange sherbet (delicious) and a tiramisu. Highly recommend!

Excellent food, service, ambiance!! I love the setting. Our waitress was great and food is always enjoyable. Highly recommend.
