Armando's in Redcar and Cleveland

Good food, but when seated at the door the food goes cold very quickly, also uncomfortably cold so didn't enjoy being sat in the walk way and the smell of cigarettes coming through constantly.

Great food at great prices. An amazing place for couples/families to eat in Redcar.

Always good 8 out of 10 Always really solid

Excelent service and food, will be eating there again

A great meal! We had booked for 3 people (two visitors from Somerset and one from New Zealand) but one of the party got caught up in a family medical emergency. We arrived, explained the situation and asked if they could do a take away parmo for the third person. Yes, no problem. Told us when in our meal to order it. Nothing was too much trouble. The restaurant was packed at 6pm on a Wednesday which says a lot. Our meals were excellent. The chicken parmo hot shot was to die for. Had lovely chats with two of the waitresses which makes the customer feel very welcome. And I can report that the take away chicken parmo got great reviews too!! We’ll be back next time we’re up.

I’ve been to many Italians during my life, but this was honestly one the best I’ve been to. We had the special pizza and a carbonara, both cooked to perfection. Would highly recommend this place. A++

It was a last minute choice and they were very accommodating, excellent food and great service

Amazing food and service every single time, best restaurant in Redcar.

Once again a lovely evening at Armandos. Beautiful Food and staff wonderful. 😋 Thank you again for a lovely evening xxx

Been here a few times now and service and food is always of the highest order

Only reason for the lower star is the lies about accessibility. Food was really good, service great. On google they are advertised as fully accessible. They say they have a wheelchair accessible car park, no. They say they have a wheelchair accessible entrance, debatable. They say they have an accessible toilet, no. Luckily I didn't have my wheelchair that day, but for people checking before going would see its accessible only to discover it isn't and would have to go somewhere else

The food is good and reasonably priced.

First timing visiting, definitely not the last. Amazing food, fast service and really friendly staff. This place is amazing. Thank you very much to the lady who looked after us, apologies I didn't take a name. The best customer service, food was just incredible with every bite as good as the next.

Loved the place, very quiet the food was magnificent and the staff very polite, strongly recommend

Went to dinner, very good food and the staff are very polite

Visiting family in the area, came here for dinner on Monday night. Restaurant wasn’t too busy and service was prompt and attentive. Parmo was as tasty as any we’d have at home and drinks were reasonable. The only issue we had was the glassware used to serve affogato is too conical and so the ice cream sits above the espresso rather than in it. But otherwise, a flawless visit and it’s a shame I don’t live locally or else I’d be back more often!

We had a lovely meal here on our first visit to Redcar. Our group consists of 4 adults and 2 children. The staff were really lovely, especially Jess, who couldn't have been more helpful. The food was lovely, we had garlic bread, potato skins with garlic mayo, arancini, garish pizza, American pizza, penne basilico, diavola chicken, and kids chicken gougons. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The restaurant was very welcoming and clean, and the toilets were clean and well stocked with toiletries.

This is one of the nicest parmos I’ve eaten in the north east! Reasonably priced too! I visited with my girlfriend for an early Valentine’s Day meal and we really enjoyed our food

Nice little spot on Redcar High Street. Parmesan is the best you can get in Redcar and received great service throughout.

What a great place,first time visit but it was great,food was lovely,atmosphere is lovely,staff are polite and friendly,prices are very reasonable,a great place to visit and i would reccomend.

Food came out fairly quick but too quick after our starters as we wanted to actually chill before our food, then when we were eating we were constantly belooked the whole meal to check we were still eating, then the bill came which wasn’t too bad fairly prices but still both had full drinks, so then we paid but were questions after payment when we would be leaving, as we only had a table of 2 I wouldn’t of found this an issue? Love the food here also but this time my parmo tasted like sausage meat and this isn’t the first time this had happened. Never felt usually rushed and also very loud restaraunt with big parties shouting all around, not a great experience.

Great little local restaurant. We went looking for a good parmo and we were not disappointed! Great value two course meal offer too

Lovely resturant stayed in redcar for two nights.we had a lovely meal on the 1st night and as the menu was so good went back for the second time.well worth a with a visit

Very good food, drink and service. It’s a long time since we have been here and am glad we came. The food was excellent and the staff knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. I had the mussels as a starter and the Calzone pizza as a main. The arancini balls as a starter excellent and the lasagne and the stroganoff mains lovely. It was a lovely friendly, happy and family atmosphere. I won’t leave it as long before revisiting

Always outstanding food and service from Petro and the team at Armandos.

I cannot believe that a restaurant does not serve gluten free pasta or pizza. I understand I always have to pay more for this but it is extremely disappointing when a restaurant accommodates vegetarians and vegans (life choice) but not coeliacs (serious health condition). Service was good and friendly.

Great food, great service each time attended. Staff very helpful and pleasant. Only gripe, if you can say that, is, it's too small a premises for the amount of tables. But that's just me, I like plenty of space btw tables. However, I do recommend this place!

Midweek in Redcar High Street is not exactly uplifting. Still a depressed area, could be great with more investment. Armando's a welcome escape from the ubiquitous fish and chips. Risotto Verde piping hot and well cooked but could have benefitted from some herbs. Parmesan was the pre-grated kind.

Not a fan of Italian food. We had 3 dishes and all the plates were cleaned up.

Amazing food Amazing staff Looking forward to seeing you all again

Had a lovely meal, staff were efficientand friendly, unfortunately we were sat by the door on a very winding evening, they did say its the worse table, my thoughts, don't have it there at all, it really spoiled our evening, freezing cold from the moment we sat down until we left.

Not sure what happened today, been nice when been previously but food poor and poor attitude of management. I had potato skins for starter, very greasy and undercooked. My partner had soup and was cold. I had chicken marershala for main. Had big lumps of unmelted cheese and couldn't taste the tomato, chips were also hard. When complained to management he said you were first customers of the day and chef might not have been awake. Nice attitude. We won't be going back

Food has been lovely in the past, today 7.04.24 it was awful, soup came out luke warm, sent it back, chicken alla creme was greasy, I actually soaked grease up with a paper napkin. We left the food, paid the bill, waiting staff honestly couldn't care less, will not be going back, the roof of my mouth has a coating from the grease after a couple of mouthfuls, left the food. waiting to get home to use moth wash.

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.

Arancini balls starter and hot shot parmo. Couldn't finish it so provided a take away box. 16.95 for 2 courses 👌

Good food and atmosphere great we all sang Happy birthday when a 7 year-old got his birthday cake🥳

Absolutely gem for Redcar. Food, service and atmosphere is fantastic. Staff are very friendly and polite. They have good knowledge of food and especially about gluten free foods within there menu. A fantastic restaurant!!

Ordered a pork Parmesan to takeaway after reading the good reviews. Big mistake. I have had some of the best in Teesside from winners of the parmo king competition but this was disappointing. Cheese topping was thin and not flavoursome at all. Bechimel sauce was non existent. Side salad was dry and lifeless. A waste of over £14 I won’t make that mistake again.

Absolutely beautiful food and very friendly staff can't fault them food is lush 😍❤️ xx

Not what it used to be. Price sky high and marashala really bland.

Had a very lovely meal here on 20th January. It was busy whilst we were but it is a popular restaurant. Staff were run off their feet but customer service was still excellent. Thank you Armandos

Just been here with a party of 9 and can honestly say the service was shocking. Made to feel as if we were a hindrance. One of the waitresses was very ignorant and rude and never smiled once.We couldn't wait to get out.

Armandos never fails to deliver the best food with amazing service. My favourite restaurant in Redcar :-)

Great food, lovely atmosphere, very friendly. Have had 2 wonderful family meals here in the past month. Very happy and will be back.

Very nice meal, very good menu.

Lovely meal. Great value. Made another booking

Very good, food always superb 👌

Great value for money, amazing friendly staff and probably the best italian in the area

Our first time here and won't be our last, a proper friendly down to earth restaurant. Food absolutely superb. Proper genuine service.. Highly recommended!!

Good food at a very good price.

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.

Excellent place to taste Italian cuisine. Friendliness in service. Very pleasant, I highly recommend visiting.

Can get a little noisy when it's full but if you want a quieter experience just go a little earlier. Fantastic Pizza, can recommend seafood with extra seafood. Best I've had in the North East. Although it's not on the menu anymore, if you ask, they'll make one for you. Really is a pretty tasty pizza and if you can remember to ask, and you're a lover of seafood, you won't be disappointed 👍

Loved this restaurant where I celebrated my birthday. Wonderful atmosphere and great food

Excellent night out with great food, great staff , a good all round service. Thankyou.

Recently attended as a party of 10. From the moment we entered the staff seemed very tense. A particular waitress, an older lady with black hair was extremely rude throughout. Lots of eye rolling and just a general bad attitude that ruined the experience for us.

Excellent cosy well run restaurant serving authentic and delicious Italian cuisine. Went as a party of four, stayed well over 2hrs without feeling rushed. Brilliant

Large family visit for a birthday celebration. They split us over 2 tables either side of the restaurant which wasn’t expected as previously they have put us all together down one side. We asked if we could buy drinks separately as we were such a big party and were told quite bluntly no they couldn’t facilitate that. The person taking the drinks orders was very flustered - brought a few wrong drinks which we sent back and at the end they tried to charge an extra £6 for one of these!! Think they’ve added shrinkflation to the meals - chicken was smaller than previously and the sauce was very bland with a small bowl of chips and a very small portion of salad leaves, I’m not a big eater and certainly didn’t fill me. The pizzas did look good though. We preordered and still had to wait quite a while some people’s food was quite cold. Staff in the past have been great but they must have been having a bad night.!! Toilet floor was very slippery too could maybe do with something over the tiles. All in all very disappointing and don’t think I’ll be visiting again soon

I visited the restaurant with my dad on Saturday (16th September) for my birthday. The service here is always very good, and Saturday was no different. For drinks, I had a j2o and my dad had a non-alcoholic beer. They were very nice. For starters, I had the potato skins which were as amazing as always, and my dad had the garlic mushrooms which he said were very good. For mains, I had the margherita pizza which was 10/10 incredible. And my dad had the pork stroganoff which he said was amazing. Overall we had a lovely meal here, and if you are ever in Redcar I would recommend visiting here as it is a brilliant restaurant! :)

Beautiful food, really great service and reasonably priced

Lots of gluten free options which was a relief and pasta and pizzas can be ordered GF if you tell them 24hrs in advance. My risotto was beautiful and I can fully recommend the rosè called Wicked Lady. A great birthday night out with friends had by all.

Good menu choices. Reasonable prices. Service and staff good.

This restaurant came recommended and it did not disappoint. We didn’t book but they found us a lovely table. We all had the cajun chicken which was excellent and very filling. Definitely going to return when we’re next in the area.

Have been here many times and have never been disappointed. The food is delicious, the staff are warm and friendly. The boss is a lovely man and very professional too

Great food once again, we will be coming here again once back in Redcar. Thank you for the lovely service.

Came in tonight and great food as always :) Who I think are new waitresses were really helpful and polite.

Visited last night (22nd Aug) for the 1st time. Couldn't believe how packed it was for a Tuesday night. Booked the next available slot and went for a walk. Good job, too, because the amount I shovelled down my pie hole was simply rude. Staff were great. The espresso martinis were the best I've ever had, and the chicken pamesan was good enough to marry. I live 230 miles away, but I'll be back for more of the same. Thanks for making it a great night.

Food is lovely but portions are very small for takeaway & you are charged the same price for sitting in (pasta dish not the same amount as sitting in restaurant

Ver good meal and extremely helpful staff.

Always a lovely atmosphere in here. Friendly and helpful staff. Great menu, food wonderful.

Excellent service & food was delicious. One of our group is Gluten free & the staff were very knowledgeable about the food options.

The staff were great! The 7 of us went there a couple of times with no reservation but they always found a table for us (it was busy!). The food was also delicious!

Great food, good value and friendly staff.

The service here is excellent. Have been here a few times and always had a good meal. Garlic bread starter was average. Parmo and risotto were not good. Risotto was more like rice pudding. It may just be a one off as we normally get good food here.

An unassuming frontage on the main street in Redcar. We went for dinner for a family birthday. The staff are really friendly and attentive and the food…oh my gosh! It’s incredible!!! They even do build your own pizza for kids which my nephews loved! There are even fantastic value meal deals too not that you really need a meal deal as the prices are very good indeed especially for the quality of the food. We were blown away! Fantastic place!!! Well worth the trip over from Whitby! I might drive over again tomorrow! 😋

I truly had the best Calzone I have EVER had (although I did add salami and ham to it). The atmosphere was great, the ambience superb. I don't hesitate to thoroughly recommend this restaurant to you. My wife had the Arancini as a starter, and the Chicken Parmo as a main, and we were both more than satisfied.

Very cozy and beautiful restaurant, the staff are very friendly and kind. The pastas that I ordered were very delicious. I was so happy after a busy day at work. I would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone who visits Redcar.

Gorgeous food. Friendly staff. Can't wait to come back

Got poorly from the parmo… been in bed for 3 days- called up to let them know and the cover manager practically had a go at my partner- saying their food is perfect… I’ve had a look through some of the reviews on here and I’m defo not the only person who has had a dodgy parmo from here. Avoid! I’m just glad my little boys didn’t get poorly.

Fabulous service and food. Nothing was too much trouble and staff were very attentive. Highly recommend 🙂

We celebrated my 76th birthday and a good time was had by all. All the food was great and at a reasonable price (although my daughter thought that the arrabbiata sauce was a bit on the hot side) the staff were all friendly and helpful.

Been looking forward to visiting this restaurant since we moved to Redcar in April, however it was the biggest disappointment ever. I rang to check opening times and to see if we needed to book in advance and the girl advised that pre booking would be advised as they had a large party in, yet when we arrived at 2.30pm there was only 2 people in the restaurant. We ordered our food and my daughter was looking forward to a pork Parma, however when the food arrived it was a total let down. Pork Parmo, chewy dry meat and béchamel sauce that had so much nutmeg in that it was sweet rather than savoury. Peppered chicken, no taste to the sauce and bland vegetables. Lobster Ravioli, undercooked ravioli with lukewarm lobster, with a tasteless sauce and bland vegetables. Now as we were the only 3 in the restaurant it is unbelievable that the chef cook not get the food right! The biggest disappointment was that even though we brought the problem with the pork parmo to the attention of the waitress, there was no acknowledgment of the issue, in fact she even offered to box up what was left (around 3 qtrs remained), which we declined as it wasn’t even fit for the dog. Needless to say we will not be visiting again, which is a shame as we are looking for a good local restaurant!

Was really quiet when we visited staff really freindly and poilte and the food was amazing 👏

Food was lovely but so loud for us. Couldn't enjoy the evening. Always had lovely waitresses but no personal touch at all this evening. As regular customer normally get a lemon chello or a little chocolate. Nothing even tho next table did?

Busy Saturday night. Fabulous food. Lass with pink hair is an example of the very best service in a fast paced environment.

Parmesan ok no bechcamel sauce and cheese processed must improve to go back rest of party 0n 21st not impressed

Always a warm welcome. Food gorgeous as always 😋

arriving during a road trip and not familiar with the town, We visited based on trip advisor reviews and were not disappointed. The place was packed on a Thursday night and we were lucky to get a table. The team were all very friendly and it has the feel of a real family run business. Alex looked after us very well. The food was delicious and excellent value with a wide range on the menu. We really enjoyed our visit and if we didn't live over 200 miles away we would defiantly be visiting regularly. Thank you to the whole team for a lovely evening.

it was delicious. WE WILL BE BACK

First time visiting for a friends 60th birthday. Very nice surroundings, Staff were great and the food was lovely ( I had potato skins to start and meatballs and spaghetti main which was very tasty!! ).

4star cuz not much better in redcar

Vibrant, lively Italian restaurant, serving generous portions. The food was delicious and there was no long wait. Good value too. The staff were all very friendly. The only minor thing we all agreed on was that the plates were only luke warm; other than that, it was fantastic.

Lovely little Italian, I've rated 4 for atmosphere, I do think during warmer weather they could have some air con or windows open, my partner was extremely warm. Food was lovely, I'm not the biggest fan of Italian food, however, I really enjoyed it here. My only criticism, but that's only based on my personal tatse, I had armando's chicken with feta olives etc, which I find are quite salty foods, but that's it really. I'm not local to area but if I was up that neck of the woods again, I'd probably come here again . The prices are reasonable especially in the current clime. Don't overlook it when looking for somewhere to have a sit down meal.

Amazing place. Well catered for. Thank you xxx

Booked a table at 10 am for tonight & website said they would get back to me…they didn’t & when I rang them the table wasn’t available at the time I wanted….. SHABBY sevice.

If I could give more than 5 I would. We’ve visited about 4-5 times now never been disappointed, we rave about it to anyone who will hear. We tend to visit Redcar just for Armando’s the food is great fresh produce and great value for money. This little Italian is a hidden gem! If we lived closer we would order every night. We’ve yet to try a different dish as we’re so wowed by the food we normally order (Chicken Diavolo, half Chicken Parmesan and half Spaghetti Bolognaise) We never thought we liked Italian food however this is the only place we go. Do not miss this divine food, staff are always friendly and helpful, the chefs know their food and what people want. Don’t change please!

Sons 18th Birthday and the staff were excellent..Table of 16 and the service was spot on. Food was Excellent..Welldone

The food definitely has an Italian authentic taste, especially the pizza, proper stone baked, thin and crispy. They definitely do it right! Bit gutted that the seafood pizza has disappeared from the menu! It's really the only reason I went to Amandos. I will have to find somewhere else for pizza but I'll still return for other food choices. The atmosphere is a bit noisy but its still enjoyable, easy to bring the kids I suppose. It does look nice inside however I feel like it's somewhat lacking in a traditional-modern decor. It blends in a bit too much with all the other restaurants nearby. Great? yes, Something special? Not quite.

Staff were amazing with myself and my family as we had a little one who was stressed, and they moved tables for us and were so kind and empathetic. Food was amazing too!

Had a hotshot parmo to takeout. Very small and tasteless so quite disappointed and would go back unfair
