Armando’s Italian Restaurant

Wow! I’m in love, best Italian place ever! Good service, will be back soon. I can’t believe I drove by this place so many times and didn’t try it before! I felt like I was eating dinner at Grandmas

This is the best place in town to get an authentic Italian cuisine. I was blown away on how the food tasted. It’s amazing

Walking in with another couple behind us. We were seated and sat there for a few minutes. A waitress came and took the drink order of the couple who came in after us, walked past us. Two other servers walked past our table without taking to us. They all knew we were there because we made eye contact and smiled. The waitress came back took the order of the other couple. 10 minutes with no acknowledgment. Very rude.

Finding tasty Italian in Cartersville is not difficult. One should just hop on over to Armando’s! I ordered the fried Mozzarella sticks to start, and the breading was complimentary and not too over powering to the cheese. Delicious marinara for dipping. The Caesar dressing on the salad had a nice flavor… not too much anchovy-​ness. For the entrée, I chose the Chicky-​chicky Parm-​Parm (treat yo’ self), which was crispy on the outside but tender on the inside. Nice evening!

Very Disappointing Experience. Place was a Run down (Not Rustic), plain, unimpressive establishment. Booths were small and seats were old and worn. We were seated and weren’t greeted at the table for 15 min. Mind you there were only 5 other guests there. Finally order Pasta with meatballs on the side for the kids and it took 40 min to just get the kids food out. The adults food came out 15 minutes after that. One Good thing was that the kids liked there plain noodles!
I ordered the Chicken Marsala. The twice cooked small dried to a pulp chicken breast was drowned in something similar to I guess Marsala Wine. However it was thick and tasted like gravy.
Had to get my own check as the waitress was off talking to a friend and couldn’t be bothered to stop by the booth to ask how everything was.
Left with 100% certainty we will never go back.

Food was okay, nothing spectacular but hit the spot later at night. I received a few
vouchers in exchange for reviewing this restaurant and when I explained to the manager he gave many excuses why he doesn’t like
, all the problems he has had with them, and didn’t want to deal with them. In the end, he decided based on the value of my order (over $ 40) that he would take 2 ($ 5/​each off total of $ 10). Problem was, after checking out I noticed that I was overcharged by $ 5. When I called back he wanted to argue with me regardless of the fact that we went over the menu pricing 4 times and at 7% tax (as per him) it was still over $ 4 short. I wasn’t going crazy about $ 4 it was the principal. If you agree to take a voucher that you will be paid on, you shouldn’t try to recoup and double dip by overcharging your customer. I won’t be going here again, I just don’t like how the situation was handled. My husband also didn’t receive the salad that was suppose to come with his meal and the tiramisu was frozen.

«I love Armando’s» will be what you are saying when you walk out of this restaurant! The food is always fresh, hot, and very delicious… also very large portions are served so bring your appetite!

We found this place on Unilocal after visiting Pettit Creek Farms Christmas lights. I’ll be honest, I wasn’t expecting much, but what we got was a really great meal. I had the chicken parm, which was very good, and the chicken didn’t taste frozen. The red sauce is very good, and a perfect balance of flavors. My wife had the baked ziti, and she loved hers, as well. What put it over the top was the server. Apparently, she is a family member, we found her to be genuinely kind and helpful and just a very great server. We’d definitely go back to this place.

Tried Armando’s for lunch today. Killer garlic rolls a pretty good pizza. Service was very good for 1 girl running the place. Prices were about average or below. Only bad thing was getting in and out of their lot. Location seems to be swallowed up by urban expansion.

Friendly service, but the pizza doesn’t taste homemade.

Great place, unassuming but very good food and service. Highly recommended for a quick bite. Great garlic knots!

We came here inadvertently, not wanting to wait an hour for the popular ‘we-don’t-take-reservations’ steakhouse in Cartersville.
I was skeptical. Armando’s has little atmosphere, tables at the banquettes were a tad small for four adults, and frankly, I thought it would be pizza-​only. But it’s not! We ordered a cheapie carafe of burgundy — $ 11.95! — and found it to be pretty good. The salads were primarily iceberg, but the homemade dressings were excellent. If you like garlic (and don’t mind the after-​affects the next morning) try creamy garlic.
Eggplant parm is slightly sweet; sausage and peppers were good (though the meat could have been chunkier. I prefer it cut thicker.) The chicken francese should have been pounded thin, but nonetheless was tasty with a good lemony sauce.
Cannoli’s need work: tasted like cream instead of cheese.
Dishes are made-​to-​order and could be altered to suit your taste. (No problem getting our pasta with garlic and olive oil, instead of tomato sauce.) Prices are fair, and the wait-​staff, friendly and helpful. Erica, our server, was on the ball and clearly makes new and old patrons alike, feel at home.

Awesome experience. Our waitress was very courteous, friendly, and prompt with the service. The food was delicious and the portions were generous.
My husband had the Chicken Parmesan which had a very flavorful marinara sauce, and the chicken was the size of my head!
I had the Carbonara pasta which was just super good and filling. We shared a small seafood type pizza which was actually pretty big. You can choose how spicy you want it, we choose mild which I thought was just right. Great crust and great ingredients! So good.
We were given lots of bread which was warm, fresh, crunchy, buttery & garlicy. My soup was just delicious.
We ended the meal with strawberry cheesecake which was good. I’m excited to try the Cannoli next time :)
The prices are on point! Super reasonable for what you get. Will be returning!

Wonderful, wonderful restaurant! It’s small and romantic, just like I like all of my restaurants. The only thing that ticks me is the music. It’s alot of mainstream. And most Italian restaurants like this one usually plays authentic Italian music. But the music doesn’t bother me enough that it deserves anything less than 5 stars.
The marinara sauce is very thick, and is very flavorful; it’s kinda like a homemade sauce I’m sure Armando made. The platter I got was like a sample platter that included everything on the menu almost. The shells were huge! When it came down to the food, it was delicious. I hated that EVERYTHING was filled with cheese, but it was expected, so really no complaints. My waitress was extremely nice, and the over-​all experience was wondwerful. Highly recommended.

Traveling thru GA and looking for something other than normal interstate exit fast food. We are glad we ventured off I75 and found this gem. Pizza was outstanding. We had a white pizza with tomatoes, pesto, cheeses and added sausage (my hub likes meat on pizza). The sausage was delicious. Link sausage sliced and quartered into bite size chunks of just perfect spicy goodness. Also ordered a pasta dish. Angel hair with meat sauce. The meat sauce was thick and flavorful, and pasta cooked just right. It was Mothers Day, so they added a complementary dessert with the meal. Overall, I could not find fault with any part of the meal. Service was friendly and efficient. You don’t always get that in the chain restaurants!

We got the special of the day, soup or salad, rolls, and cheese ravioli in rosé sauce with zucchini, squash, and broccoli.
The tomato soup was phenomenal. Slightly spicy, with a pleasant consistency. The garlic knots may have come from pre-​made dough but they were still good. The cheese ravioli was the best I’ve ever had.
Fresh, tasty Italian dinner for less than $ 10. I’d say that’s phenomenal.
If the bread had been a wee bit better I would have given this 5 stars, but I love bread.
