Reviews of Armando's

Fantastic little restaurant on Redcar High Street. We had the pate to start which was fine and for mains parmos. I had hotshot which was really nice, finally someone who puts different chilli's on top not just jalapeños. Got one of the orders wrong but this was quickly resolved. good service polite and quick.

Family meal, 8 in total. Overall not a bad experience. Probably would go again but it does have its bad points depending on your personal preference. It is very loud and this killed the atmosphere for me, I don't like having to raise my voice over the music or in this case just the general volume. We ordered a selection of starters and mains and they were for the most part as you would expect. Chicken dishes were well cooked and all tue pasta both lasagne and spaghetti were cook slightly over but still very nice, garlic bread with cheese was a little underwhelming and needed more cheese, steak was well cooked as requested but could have benefitted from another 5min resting. Biggest issue ( and I've added a pic) was the chipped and cracked ramekin of limp salad that the choose to serve with the mains, this would have been better placed in a larger sharing bowl for our numbers . I'm always critical of any eateries which serve food in or on damaged crockery... its just not acceptable 😕 I think it will continue to be popular due to the alternatives but a little more attention to the little things would make a huge difference. If your looking for a relaxing meal as a couple I would say check your timings as it is very loud at times .

Great for gluten free options. They don't do gluten free pasta, unfortunately, which I think they could really benefit from, but the rice and risotto dishes are superb, with fabulous steaks and gorgeous sources. Their desserts are really nice but I never have enough space to eat it. They also do really good cocktails, with two for £10, and because they're so big I think they're worth it.
