Been curious about this place for sometime and today presented the opportunity to try it. Came with a couple of work mates. Simple, clean tavern with food and several tables. Old school and homey. Limited daily menu, but something for anyone who loves traditional Italian-American dishes. I am always hesitant to order red sauced dishes out, because I was taught how to make a mean red sauce by an old school Nonna. The Armory did not disappoint and frankly the sauce could easily compete with Mulberry's , which is my usual go to. Not to sweet, not to acidic, just right seasonings for an everyday red sauce. Thick sliced and fresh, seeded Italian bread and butter, generous portions, lovely personal service and inflation busting price points...OMG, what's not to love about lunch here!

My wife and I went here on a whim. I wanted some classic Italian comfort food on a cold MLK day. I found this place on Google and decided to try it out. I got the lasagna and my wife got the ravioli with meatballs we washed it down with some Genesee beer. Both dishes were fantastic, the service was great and you cannot beat the price.

A real throwback to my childhood. Small neighborhood bar, limited selection of both food and drink, very clean. Cash only. Friendly. Good spaghetti.

This place is an old school Italian restaurant that has been family owned and operated since it opened in 1946. The building is quite a bit older than that though and served as a movie theater before it became a restaurant. Also, the 1980 James Caan film, Hide in Plain Sight, which took place and was filmed in Buffalo had some scenes filmed at this restaurant. Anyways this place is very simple. You walk in and there are several red and white checkered table clothed tables and an older looking bar that is fully stocked. They also have a good sized flat screen TV up on the wall above the bar that you can watch. From the bar you can see a very small and simple looking kitchen area where they home make all of the food.

Unbelievable prices for absolutely amazing home-cooking. The pasta e fagioli is a must have, but find out what other specials they have that day, it's all incredibly delicious!
