Armandos Tuscan Grill

Tried the Tuscan steak (aged steak) for the first time here and my oh my! The steak was super delicious and tender. I ordered mine medium rare and I enjoyed every single bite. Linda even threw in an extra potato croquette. I really enjoy eating from Armandos and suggest you all try their Tuscan steak at least once (make sure it’s medium rare lol)

My daughter and I went here last night. The service was excellent. The warm, crunchy bread with fresh garlic and fresh basil was delicious.
I had veal francese which was fabulous. My daughter had the chicken sorrento which she loved. This restaurant has a really good vibe. We will definitely be back!

Hidden gem that you can’t find from the road. Fresh and consistently good Italian. Service is above average. Small dining room is their only issue.

A very cute little treasure found close to home. The food is always very fresh and tasty. Service is good. It would be nice if the could set up a reservation list. Nice that it is a BYOB.

Went tonight with a party of 11. Food was excellent, service was attentive. It all went downhill when we went to use the rest room after dinner. Heard the wait staff complaining about us holding them up because «all they are doing is being on their phones.» It was 10:15 on a Saturday night and we were checking on our children. Bad end to a nice night. Thank God I have no reason to ever visit that strip mall again.

Overpriced very small portions. The wait staff was great the food was pretty good but they used a little too much garlic for my liking

An excellent bistro style restaurant tucked away in Rivervale NJ. Super fresh ingredients makes this little gem stand out from the rest.

I am the pickiest person when it comes to food.
This chef gets better and better
The seafood salad is the best anywhere, he makes it fresh on the spot.
The pizza is thin crusted and the combination of roasted shitake mushrooms with broccoli rabe on it was something you don’t get anywhere else.
The presentation today on the fish salad was so spectacular, he made a flower out of red radicchio leaves, filled it with seafood and also made carrot flowers. The fish was outrageous, the freshest small shrimp, calamari, scungelli, mussels marinated red peppers, celery in a light lemony parsley vinagrette.
Will try to post a picture. And the prices are reasonable.

I went here last night and got clams as a starter they were amazing!!! I got Noki as my main corse great just great and the lava cake was great to.

We went on a weeknight for dinner. Ordered Calamari, Tuscan pizza and side order of BrocolI rabe for 2 of us. Calamari had just right amount of crispy coating and tender inside. It came with a sauce which is usually Marinara sauce but it tasted like Puttanesca sauce. It was full of flavor. Yum!
Pizza was equally tasty with mushroom and crunchy proscuitto overy thin crust. We even noticed how fresh the red pepper flakes were ’cause it gave our pizza perfect amount of zing.
We asked for leftover to be wrapped up and was pleasantly surprised how nicely they were packaged. We will definitely go back and it’s even BYOB!

I really can’t understand why one would come here. $ 21 for a chicken breast, no salad… and just a bit more than no flavor. My young son ordered pasta with butter – $ 15? I understand you need to earn a profit – but come on!

Oh my glory, this is a restaurant that I can’t EVER get enough of. Their food is excellent, the service is excellent. If you haven’t tried the Spiedini, you definitely need to. I always get the Linguine Piccolo Mondo — and that’s a dish that I must learn how to make. I will always keep coming back here!

Luckily I had a $ 25
certificate. I had the «specialty of the house» linguine marichiare, Nothing too special about it other than the clams were small and fresh., The sauce was a weird brown color and tasted faintly of vinegar. Barely any linguine. Wife had the chicken parm which was nothing spectacular and was a bit spongy.

If I was only reviewing the food, it would be 3 stars. (Get rid of that damn croquet they serve with their meals and it would be 4 stars). Unfortunately, the service was horrific My wife and I sat down at 6pm on a Thursday evening and didn’t get out of there until almost 830pm. When we first walked in, the gentleman at the front «pointed «us to a table. Didn’t bring us — didn’t give us menu’s. Several minutes later our waiter came by and brought us wine glasses and water. A bit later, he brought us menu’s and recited the specials. Unfortunately, it was difficult to hear him with the noise. We each ordered a salad and a meal. The salads took a very long time to arrive, but they were delicious. We finished our salad and waited a long time for the plates to be removed. During this time, I finished my water. No one came to the table to offer more. There was a woman walking around who was not a waiter. She seemed to be fixated on a few tables and never made eye contact with us. After quite a while, our waiter walked by — not to ask us how we were doing — we had to almost tackle him. I asked about our meals and mentioned we had been waiting quite some time. He said he would check and a several minutes later returned with our meals. My wife asked for some extra lemon for her fish. Our waiter never returned with it, nor even came near our table so we could ask him. The manager (?) Kim was walking around talking with a select few tables — again never making any eye contact with us. Twice, as she walked by, I said «Excuse me» but she just kept on walking. Meanwhile, we noticed that the gentleman in the front was just staring at his computer most of the night and was not helping out at all. FINALLY, after we had finished our meals (and still had no water) we had to ask another waitress to have our waiter come to our table. The rest of the meal was the same. Couldn’t wait to get out of there. Overheard that the owners Armando and Linda were out of town. I suggest they never leave again. Too bad because we like this place, but I can’t put up being treated so poorly. Will have to think twice — or make sure the owners are there — before we go again.

Great, quaint place with amazing food and service! Their daily specials change each day and are always a nice variety. Every time I come here with my parents, we are impressed over and over again. The veal dishes, especially the veal saltinbocca is fantastic!!!
Now about the service. Their is one super star server that works here. Kristen is the best. She is friendly, funny, personable, and takes care of her guests. Definitely ask for her when you come in.

We came on a Sunday and we were the first people in. Laura, our server was great. Our food was fantastic and the special veal dish, with prosciutto, mozzarella, mushrooms and marsala sauce was delicious. We split desserts and the cheesecake was amazing. It’s a small place at the end of a strip mall but worth the trip.

We waited over an hour for a table for 4.
Seating was a bit wonky and unorganized. A few tables had opened up but they seated all that was waiting at once instead of seating as the tables are cleared.
Waitress was lovely and a bit stressed with 1 busboy.
Food was eh.
We ordered the calamari, rollatini, carpacchio, and mussels in a red sauce.
Calamari was common.
Rollatini I barely found any eggplant — just ate mouthfuls of cheese
Beef Carpacchio — sat on a huge bed of arugula and you literally had to fish the meat out (which was lacking in amount)
Mussels were common.
I ordered the grilled salmon — nothing memorable.
My dinner companions order the seafood special with lobster and seafood over linguini. Looked basic — they seemed to like it.
Can’t say I’d run to go back.
I’m assuming they are as busy as they are because of the hefty groupon they have out there.

This place is fantastic. The food is delicious and the service impeccable. There’s a quaint ambience that lends itself perfectly to the superb Italian fare. Ask for Laura. She’s da bomb!

I’ve been here several times before and I have never been diapoointed. The food is excellent and so is the service. I love that it’s byob! Reasonable prices and always such a friendly atmosphere. Will certainly continue going there.

A hidden jewel off the beaten path.
Food is always well prepared and the service is quite good.
The veal saltimbocca is second to none. The sea food is always excellent.
It’s is BYOB — it is small and sometimes there is a wait — but it is worth it.
