My family and I have decided to make ourselves regulars at Armandos as we have grown tiresome of the ""miss"" of the surrounding sit-in restaurants and fast food joints and for that matter--money not well spent. The staff is so personable they know us by name and are friendly. At Armandos the food is always right on and the service is just as consistent and wonderful as the food...mmm...so fresh and completely Italian, not American Italian, but Italian Italian. It is a family business, small and qauint with the perfect family environment. The children and adults are welcome to draw on the paper tablecloth with the crayons they provide and believe it or not it is sufficiently entertaining for both kid and adults in pacifying them until their food reaches the table. If your not into doodling there are also t.v.s and nuetral music that may suffice. Even during their busiest hours the wait time is not horrible as many have stated, but comparable to other resturaunts if not better. The longest my family and I have waited to be seated was 15-20 minutes.That's awesome considering other restaurants that are not near as good (not in food nor service) and generally have 35-45 minute waits during rush hours. I have never heard nor experienced the so called tempermental owner. Nonetheless, young and old couples, friends and the like all show up to Armandos and it's obvious that it is in demand and well liked as there the house is always packed on the weekends, sometimes even the weekdays (depending) and there are quit a few regulars who visit weekley. Once you start it is hard to stop.
