I tried this revamp of Armando's at Edgewater and Princeton Wednesday night after the Cure Bowl. They re-opened a month ago. I dont recall my sentiments regarding Armando's. It is possible that I never ate there as I only have a review of a Winter Park location under that name. I had the chicken marsala with mashed potatoes for $17. Not bad. The two palm sized pounded circles of white meat had no freezer burn, etc. A possibility of egg wash on the exterior. Tender. A thick brown sauce. Lots of mushrooms. Probably canned. The mashed potatoes were a bit plain. No dairy. You could taste the water they exuded. Not seasoned. Now all those things could be a plus to any health conscious diners and a drag through the gravy was an easy solution. The menu is fairly large. I'm not sure how Neopolitan. I chose my dish because of the side. More than half had spaghetti. Things like: parm, cacciatore, scarpariello, piccata. Veal, chicken, seafood, pasta. $16-$18 range. Apps like meatballs. Pizza. I saw a brick oven. Wine list. L shaped room. Bar and high tops at the entrance. Kitchen behind that. Around thirty tables. Pretty full. A few tables outside in front. Light brick, black and taupe. Battery operated candles. Tvs at the bar. One had football and one had entertainment. Music from speakers. Accessible vibe. Service was quick. I quite enjoyed my meal.
*I went to the Great Southern Box Co Food Court before dining. The new bar (Walter's Tavern) looks nice. It wasn't open. The two places I ate at have closed. A waffle stand and I think it was a drink stand have replaced them. That Eighty Twenty Food Truck from DT has a stall here.
