Armando's Bella Cucina PERMANENTLY CLOSED

Exceptional! Armando's has been a favorite of mine for some time so we returned last night for Valentine's Day. What a delight! The food has always been incredible, the Chicken Marsala makes Carabba's claim to fame with this dish a joke. We were surprised and delighted to find a new and wonderful menu just for the day. Everything from rack of lamb to fettuccini alfredo with shrimp, several veal dishes, and on and on. This was our first try with the calamari - without a doubt the best I've ever tasted anywhere. Unfortunately, I had no room left to try their amazing desserts this time. I hate to let the secret out, but here it is. If you want a restaurant with a casual atmosphere and friendly service, close to home, and with THE BEST Italian food in the area, you've got to try Armando's. Salute!

The location could be better but once inside all was pleasant. The food was prepared very well. The waitress was friendly. The Tortellini Soup was good but the spinach was a bit overpowering but the Meatball Soup was very good. The Chicken Marsala had a wonderful taste while the Linguini with white clam sauce was a bit too watery and hard to eat. Soup, Salad and bread included made this a good meal for the price and a very pleasant experience, we will definitely return to try other selections.

We ate here last night. My friend had the chicken margerita and I had the homeade lasagna. The portions were plentyful and tasty and the service was fast and efficient.

For dessert my friend had the cannoli and I sampled the homeade tiramsu. AWESOME. The only downfall is the cannoli comes in pairs, but that just means you have one to take home for later. :)

Bon Appetite.

The location for this wonderful restaurant is very wanting. The food and the service are WONDERFUL. Of course, I could see how it could become backed up during Friday and Saturday evenings, but we dined during the week. My husband enjoyed their eggplant, which was a great surprise to me. He is extremely picky concerning eggplant and only once has had it out that he liked it. We were surprised at the large amount of food you receive if you order an entree. I found their pizza to be very good and was happy that they did not use cheap cheese or bitter sauce.
Again, I have to say the location is bad for this place. Next door is a bar and we had to listen to the bass through the wall, which was not enjoyable. Although the servers go over and request the bar to lower the volume, it is the fact that it still happens that is disheartening. I don't suggest this if you are looking for a romantic dinner.

We read the reveiws here and decided to take our grandaughter who was visiting from North Carolina. What a disappointment! My husband had lasagna which was dry and did not have much meat in it. My grandaughter had the chicken vodka which was short on chicken. I had some kind of alfredo which was bland and watery and of all things, had spinach in it. The tortelini soup had a lot of well cooked spinach with a very few tortelini. I would not go back.

I haven't been there in a while, but the food was amazing! My son actually ended up ordering 2 bowls of spaghetti w/ sauce (he is only 6!) I will be going here again soon! Highly recommended!

Great food, great service. I would eat here often. Even their pizza was good. We went in w/our very young children & order 2 dinners & a small pie. The price was great & the food was even better.

We just recently tried Armando's and I think it's one of the best kept secrets in the area. The food was great. Service friendly and good. Food some of the best we've tried in Flagler area. We had the Fried calamari...fresh, hot, good sauce with it. We were ther for a pizza and it too was excellent. Thin crust too! Next time I want to try some of the other choices.

Great food,service with a smile and a good value this place has it all.

Armando's is outstanding! The staff is very friendly. The food is the best I've had since I have moved to florida. The eggplant is the best I have had anywhere. If you love Itialian food like me, this is the place to go! The weekends are very busy, but it is worth any wait there might be. Excellent!

We are thrilled with Armando's...what food, what service. Great at accommodating large groups. Try the Chicken Melanzzana (thought I was in a gourmet restaurant), linguini with white clam sauce, lasagna is full of meat, garlic bread is the best we have had anywhere and, if you like thin crust pizza, specify thin crust and you will get a great pizza. Take your appetites...wonderful homemade soups and fresh salads are included with the entrees. Good value.

the shrimp armando and chicken ceasar salad is out of this world. i definitly recommend this resturant. 5 stars in my book.

Finally an Italian Restaurant that prepares and serves Italian Food the way it should be served. The fettucine alfredo is outstanding, the veal and chicken parma is excellent with sauces to match.The veal marsala is to die for and the service very good. Gets a little noisey once in a while but the food is worth waiting for. Prices reasonable and deserts excellent. Go ahead and try it you will like it.

We hit this restaurant once a week for their fabulous red clam sauce none better that we can find.

This restaurant's location and interior is a bit to be desired but it's food is. I really enjoyed my meal here. It was flavorful and good value and the service was good.

I was pleasantly suprised by this place. I had the Pesto Crusted Tuna which was very good.
