Armando’s Restaurant

Another fabulous Italian meal, from bread all the way through to the limoncello aperitif, with exceptional service. Attentive wait staff, their & Caroline's care for our celebration day was second to none... they even decorated our table ! I had specific menu details to advise according to my choice of meal or dink mixer because of allergy & medication needs. The wait staff were knowledgeable about individual dish ingredients & preparation. They were able to advise alternative ingredients or mixer options, & coordinate my needs with the chefs with professionalism & confidence. Importantly, if they were at all unsure they deferred without hesitation to Caroline's experience. I felt confidently safe in their hands. This is an excellent Italian fine dining experience from a friendly local restaurant. Both of our visits felt relaxed & personable & the food was fabulous. I can heartily recommend fine dining at Armando's Restaurant at The Talbot Hotel, Belper. If I have any hesitation at all in writing my review then it's because I worry they may become too popular...so please don't book it too full because we love being able to eat there !!

Fabulous food really delicious, if a little pricy but it was worth it. Would definitely go again. The bar at the front is a bit sparse but the restaurant itself has a lovely atmosphere and the staff were great, felt a bit old fashioned in a really good way - the staff had obviously been trained properly, cutlery was changed for different meals oh I wish everywhere was just like this! Really interesting choices of white wine by the glass too. Best new place we've found for ages loved it.
