Atmosphere is nice, excellent homemade food, and great service. Portions are generous. Everything is done to perfection here. Come hungry and you will still take home a doggy bag. Moderate prices and worth every bite.

I've lived in Canada, the US and in Europe. I've dined in London, Paris, Switzerland and Italy and I can honestly say this is one of the best restaurants I've ever eaten at. I've read all the reviews and they are all true. The decor may be a bit outdated, but who cares - I'm there for the food, not... More

This restaurant, located in downtown Thunder Bay, had a nice, low-key, relaxed atmosphere, and pleasant decor. But, I don't go to restaurants for the atmosphere; I go for the food. Usually, a restaurant's food is in inverse proportion to its atmosphere. That is not the case with Armando's. I live in Southeast Minnesota, which is where food went to die,... More

I have been to Armando's at least 80 times over the past 20 years. This time was different...I took my friends out for dinner to celebrate a 25th wedding anniversary, birthday and graduation. Your meal is inclusive of salad, pasta and an entree. We all chose variations of either veal, chicken or beef. Everything is made from very fresh ingredients... More

Our meals--osso buco and Armando's special beef fillet, were outstanding. Meals come with a very nice house salid and home-made pasta with a choice of sauces--all excellent. Desserts were very good--tiramisu and a cheesecake with wild blueberry sauce. Service was very attentive, and with Armando himself serving the wine and chatting with the customers, it felt like behing welcomed into... More
