What People Are Saying About Armani's

The Scene – The elegant setting includes creamy walls, soft candlelight, an outdoor patio and gorgeous people--the likes of George Steinbrenner and his fabulously rich pals. Basically, the joint reeks of money, but not in a stuffy way. – – The Food – The menu is made up of classic, high-end northern Italian cuisine. Creamy lobster bisque and tender rack of lamb are divine in a no-surprise kind of way. Salads and desserts are good as well, but again, nothing that will rock the culinary boat. It's old-school, upper-crust eating for the old-school, upper-crust diner.
Editor's Tips
- The Extras:
- Offering a spectacular vista any time, the view is especially impressive at night, when glittering lights outline Tampa Bay like a dazzling necklace.
- Know Before You Go:
- Make a romantic evening out of it and stay overnight at the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay.

Wow!!!!

I went to this restaurant a few months ago for a family function. I cannot say enough great things about the service and staff. The view is amazing as well. The food is pricy but you get what you pay for! Best dining experience I've had in a very long time!!!!

some good some bad
by magnusfla at Citysearch
In my two trips last week due to 2 groupons about to expire we had
CALAMARI FRITTI wonderful cooked just right just to many
INSALATA DI CESARE one of the best ceasr salid i ever had including all the ones I had while I growing up in NY
BRODETTO D’ARAGOSTA this lobster soup was a disapontment as it tasted like they used burbon in it and was very sharp tasting
ANTIPASTO MISTO good but some items just were not to our taste at all
SCALOPPINE DI VITELLO ARMANI’S the veil was great and the truffle sauce was wonderful but the mascarpone polenta was horrable
GAMBERI E CONCHIGLIE CON PAPPERDELE ALLA CARBONARA this was perfect
LIMONCELLO cheese cake perfect end

Best place in Tampa for upmarket Italian cuisine
by peter06 at Citysearch
I ate at Armani's last night and it was the best meal I had in a long time. The food was superb and full of surprises. I ordered the seabass and the server poured the sauce at the table (nice touch) Everything we consumed was of the highest quality and it sure rectifies the prices charged. My wife had the lamb and again, this dish has also a surprise element build in. (The sauce comes in a french press and is pressed at your table!) I have been living here in Tampa over 8 years and this restaurant used to have a boring and overwelming menu. Now it is exciting, tasty and of the highest quality ingredients. I was most impressed by their new bread and olive oil presentation. You start your meal with stunning olive oil and aged balsamic vingar. They also hand out small chunks of real parmesano reggiano! To die for, I could have just had this all night. Leave yourself some room for dessert though, because the blueberry goat cheese strudel is stellar. If the service wouldn't be so stuffy, I would go more often.
- Pros: Menu, view and food quality
- Cons: service too old fashioned

OVER RATED
by cocomejia at Citysearch
This used to be one of the best but I really think this place is over rated. The food was not good, service was very slow and it was too presumptious as well as stuffy. Oystercatchers is definitely giving this place a run for their money. They might want to think about renovating or making changes here as well to keep up with the new demands.
