Armandino's Salumi, Seattle, Washington Restaurant Details

Food:

Tough to visit because I want everything...

If I could go here twice a week that would be perfect. I would split my time between here and Il Corvo.

I've had most of their regular selection of meats, My favorites are the porchetta and sopressata. You definitely want the schmutz on your sandwich, and if the meat is a strong flavor you can even get gorgonzola.

Ive got a scheduled chance to attend one of the special prix fixe lunches with Chef Tony Battali and I couldnt be more excited.

I felt like I was back in Rosebank Staten Island, sitting at the checkered tablecloth covered table eating fine ham on great bread, and the guy next to me turns out to have lived on Highland Ave minutes from Rosebank! Great food, authentic experience.

An Italian Meats Paradise

The house-cured meats, pasta, soups and antipasto dishes are all incredible. You should never leave here without trying a few things (sandwiches are a bit soggy, so they don't keep well if you're thinking about eating one later).

I recommend the porchetta (slowly cooked pork shoulder / belly with Italian herbs and garlic) with a side of soup or a vegetable dish.

The meatballs are truly hit or miss. Sometimes, the meatball sub is really great. Other times, the meatballs are unseasoned and kind of taste of horse. The fact that they don't brown their meatballs means that they automatically aren't amazing.

The last time we got a meatball sub, one of the meatballs was raw in the middle; so be careful.

Try the gnocchi if you're there on a Tuesday! They're hand-rolled on an old-fashioned gnocchi board and are absolutely phenomenal in texture and flavor.

If you're not here within the first half-hour they open, you're not eating much of anything besides cold cuts. Get there early to brave the lines.

If you show up on a Monday, the menu is super limited and you can't eat at the tables. In which case: there's a nice little (secure) park two blocks over (Waterfall Garden Park).

Go to this awesome eatery! I had the fresh gnocchi with bolognese and my guy had the meatball sub. Everyone was lovely and accommodating. I highly recommend this place!

Food:

An hour and a half wait for a sandwich but a very good sandwich at that. I would say it's worth waiting atleast once. The way they prepare and cure their meats and the bread they use are top-notch and it was a very enjoyable, mouth watering experience.

If you are willing to wait, I say go for it.
