Armando's - Winter Park

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 Lemoncello 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 :’)

We ended up at Armando's last minute (they seated our party of six when another restaurant in Winter Park wouldn't honor our reservation). We were seated at a lovely table outside and everything went right from there, starting with our wonderful server, to the warm bread she immediately brought over to the table, to the excellent (strong) drinks and the great food. The red sauce here is spectacular, I would love to meet the person making it and give them a hug. Everything we ordered was exactly right - crispy calamari, wonderful white pizza, generous meatballs in that delicious red sauce, and several pasta dishes. I'm posting a single shot of the half-devoured spaghetti and meatballs because we ate everything else faster than I could photograph. I can't wait to come back here next time we're in Orlando!

My family and I had dinner here to celebrate a birthday. The atmosphere was so inviting. We appreciated the later closing time (10pm). Our waitress Madison F was so delightful and warm! Thank you for your service Madison!

Our dishes were so delicious. Bruschetta was our appetizer, so yum and fresh! For our main courses, we had 3 separate meals, all so incredible and fresh and satisfying.

Our waitress then brought out a slice of tiramisu cake to celebrate the birthday!! Our service from start to end was impeccable! This includes our other waitstaff. We will be returning soon!

Really enjoyed our experience here. Favorite things on the menu were the Arancini and Ravioli Al Funghi. The bruschetta was very fresh. Loved the limoncello cake and tiramisu.

This is one of our favorite Italian restaurant in the Orlando area. The food is all delicious and I have tried a few different dishes. The pizza is our favorite. The dough and sauce tastes really good, these 2 ingredients are what make a pizza taste great or not. The sauce to cheese ratio is perfect. I always prefer the margarita pizza, a classic. Other food we have tried and liked has been the spaghetti with red sauce, chicken parmigiana, and salmon sorrentino. Those dishes were all really tasty. My mother in law use to get the gnocchi and use to love it but then it changed and no longer tasted like it was freshly made. They started to taste like they are bought. She’s Italian and makes her own at home so I trust her opinion. I don’t know if this has changed because she hasn’t gotten the gnocchi since this happened which probably was about 1-2 years ago.

Overall great food and great location on a corner with a lot of sitting available. The front patio is very spacious and it looks beautiful at night. The service has always been good to us, some people friendlier than others but overall good.

We just celebrated our wedding at Armandos and couldn't be more pleased, the food, the ambience and of course the great service, specifically Sabrina, Mía, Eduardo and Alberto, who were amazing to our guests and were on top of everything we needed at all time, also big thanks to George and Maddy who helped us make our dream wedding happen just how we wanted! Thanks so much for everything! ❤

10/11 it was the best restaurant I had try! If you want to eat the best Italian pasta of your life, go ahead! *the plate is bigger than what it shows

We came for dinner around 9:30 and it was amazing. The atmosphere is beautiful and every employee is so nice. We ordered margherita pizza and pollo di Tatiana. Service was great and food was great! I will be back.

Absolutely Delicious! The meatballs were so moist and flavorful. The tiramisu was so decadent and the chicken Tatiana was so good!

If you are looking for a great Italian restaurant, that’s the place for you. Amazing ambient, very attentive service, and the food, well, I can’t say as much as it deserves, but by far the best carbonara I ever ate. The calzone is just amazing 11/10.
You won’t regret coming here.

Most Beautiful Food Experience in Winter Park… Go see Mia! All the staff is amazing but we love Mia! She is an excellent waitress!

Amazing food!!! Wow, very flavorful. I had their Melenzane Rollate platter… loved it. Service was okay, bruschetta was delicious.

We decided to celebrate Valentines Day a day early. It was our second time here and it was just as amazing as the first!
I went with a Four Roses Small Batch old fashioned to drink and it was great. My wife had a glass of red wine, Chianti Superiore. It paired with the food perfectly!
We started with the Arancini as our appetizer and we each had a side Caesar salad. Both were delicious.
The entrees were harder to choose because we wanted what we got last time because it was so amazing but decided to try different things. My wife ordered the Vitello Saltimbocca. The veal is wrapped in prosciutto and sage. My wife decided to sub out the mashed potatoes for pasta because she was in a pasta mood but said hind sight she would have left the dish with the mashed potatoes. The flavors and tenderness of the meat was ridiculous. We would get that dish again! I ordered the Pollo Scarpariello. It was the dish my wife ordered last time. It was also delicious. I will say the last time I ordered the Pollo Di Tatiana and that is still my favorite dish of everything I have tried so far.
We had completed our dinner with double espressos and, to finish, the Tiramisu. It is divine. They will put chocolate drizzle on it so we opted out of that because we love it without it.
The service has been great both times.
We will definitely be back!

I'd wanted to take my husband there for quite some time and it did not disappoint. Fresh bruschetta on perfect crispy bread, huge entrees full of delicious flavors, good wine and amazing desserts. Just one small issue - if your chocolate cake has raspberries on it, tell me - I HATE them - but they fixed it right away with no drama. Excellent service! A+ on this entire experience. We'll be back often.

The pappardelle alla vodka with mushrooms was divine!!!! The Blanco pizza was sent straight from the heavens! 🤤🤤🤤 It has sweet ricotta cheese and savory gorgonzola cheese on it. You get different flavors in each bite. Chicken parmagiana was good, but nothing to write home about. We got the potato croquettes stuffed with mozzarella app, which was tasty. The bread with dipping oil was good, but don't overdue it. You want to leave all the room for your meal, you WON'T be disappointed at this place!

Beautiful place with true Italian aesthetics! Perfect for a friday night delicious dinner! Get your pizza and pasta, the portions are huge through, so you will probably have leftovers for breakfast😌The servers are extremely kind and act professional! Overall, this place deserves the hype, I had a great experience!

Armando’s is the most dreamy restaurant in Winter Park. The services is top tier and attendyive to all your needs. The food is extremely delicious. Portion sizes are large so you’re getting every dimes worth. The ambiance promotes conversations and enjoyment. You’ll do just that! And it’s one of the most Instagrammable places for those wanting to spice up their feels with european vibe.

We sat outside on the patio which was a great atmosphere in Hannibal Square. Tanner was genuinely friendly and appropriately attentive throughout dinner. He made the experience even better. The lamb special was delicious. The spaghetti carbonara was excellent with a nice sized side of sautéed spinach. Also the Pollo Scarpariello was wonderful. We enjoyed the blackberry mojito which was amazing and refreshing. The Sonoma Chardonnay paired perfectly with the entrees. Definitely recommend !!

Incredible food and even better service! Our server was very helpful and didn’t make us feel rushed. It was a little hot (Florida’s fault) but the above-and-beyond service is reason enough to go back. (dish is Papardelle Bolognese and dessert is Chocolate cake and Tiramisu)

Food was amazing and service was 5star. The food portions are big but really tasty. They have open kitchen which can be a little noisy but the back porch is quite and romantic. Definitely recommend it!
