I love this restaurant!

I have tried a lot of Italian restaurants in the US and overseas such as Japan where a lot of excellent Italian restaurants exist, but this restaurant is the one of the best of all!

The taste is great! and the price is very reasonable!

• Pros: Best pastas!

decent food, expensive, owner is a TOOL!!!

by mynameisanna at Citysearch

Our family of five was a regular at Armandos since the restaurant is close to our house. Then one night I asked the waitress for 1/4 pepperoni, 3/4 cheese pizza but I'd pay for 1/2 and 1/2. She came back to the table and said that the owner wouldn't make the pizza that way - it was too difficult. We then ordered the pizza his way but when I paid for the pizza, I asked him politely why they couldn't accommodate my request that was fulfilled at other restaurants. He became very beligerent with me and said that if he "did that for me, he'd have to do it for everybody. " I told him that he just lost a great customer and my family hasn't been back since. We do get a great laugh about Armando at his expense, though -- there are lots of other restaurant options in the area where the owner isn't a tool.

Weekly Customer

by denverpie at Citysearch

I can't imagine what the last 2 reviewers are talking about. I have been going to Armando's for 4+ years and recently go almost every week for take-out pizza which beats any chain pizza - hands down! I have got to know the staff personally and they LOVE working there. Sometimes the owner talks loudly to the wait staff (in typical Italian fashion) so they know they have food ready to deliver but is NEVER NEVER rude! There is NO WAY Armando's substitutes pork for veal. (think "stupid" spells "SUBSTITUTES" incorrectly on purpose?!? probably not) The place is packed with return customers on weekends...can all those people keep coming back for bad food? This place is absolutely wonderful...don't believe otherwise until you try it for yourself. You'll become a frequent customer too!

• Pros: Consistently GREAT food - reasonably priced
• Cons: Weekends get pretty crowded
