Absolutely amazing food and some of the biggest portions of ANY restaurant, period. In a strip mall type of plaza, near the old PIT airport. Upscale casual atmosphere, where you would be as comfortable in a t-shirt as a shirt and tie. The food is outrageously good. The pizza bread is basically a small French bread pizza, we got ours with pepperoni. Their homemade red sauce is awesome. The zucchini strips are thin and tasty, and again, huge portions. Their stuffed eggplant may be the best thing on the menu: thick slices of eggplant parmesan towered with ricotta between and covered in their marinara. Amazing. I couldn't finish half of it. AND it comes with a side of pasta--in a bowl the size of a cereal bowl! I took that all home. Pasta dishes were huge and yummy, and the chicken Ramano was a standout, with fluffy egg batter, and three large breast slices per order, plus two sides. We decided that next time, we would do family style and order maybe 6 dinner for a party of 8, and share them. We will surely Still take some home! read more

I went to dinner here last night with a friend. We were greeted quickly and had a short wait. Our server was polite and quick. The servings are huge and prices are reasonable. I ordered the pasta and meatballs, which was delicious. The meatballs were soft and flavorful. The only complaint I'd have is that for the mountain of pasta they give you, they don't nearly give enough sauce. Overall, a great experience and will definitely go back. read more

Great place. Huge portions, good service, and a great take-out process. It's BYOB but other than that, it's a wonderful family oriented atmosphere. read more

I have never been disappointed at Armstrong's. I spend a little bit more money than I would like for lunch, but the portions are large and I usually get at least one more meal out of it, so it is justifiable. They usually have at Wedding Soup and at least one or two other homemade soups. They serve fresh bread with your meal and the menu has something for everyone. This time, I ordered the lunch manicotti which came with soup or a salad. The manicotti is homemade and really good. Much better than the frozen stuff you get other places. Cauliflower Cheese soup was on the menu for the day, so I tried that and was not disappointed. My co-worker ordered a chicken sandwich and it was HUGE. She was very happy with it and said that the chicken was tender and flavorful. I would definately recommend giving this place a try! read more

I've been going to Armstrong's pretty much since they opened this location...um...a 'few' years ago. It has never disappointed. Well trained staff coupled with terrific food - who could ask for more? The lunches are terrific and out quick for those of us who who are working and had limited time. Eating later is casual and comfy, and the food? Great salads, soups, pasta...just all around a great place to go with colleagues, friends, dates or family. Wonderful! read more

I'm from out of town and have not been impressed with food in the area, until now. Had turkey Ruben and was very good, 4 in the party and everyone thought their sandwich was very good. NOT a greasy spoon. Will definitely be back. Also very busy, so a good sign. read more

I'm giving this restaurant a terrible review because the manager confronted us and was extremely rude. I ordered pick up and decided I wanted to sit down and have ice tea and a nice dessert. He immediately came over and told me this should never have happened and implicated I would not give a tip. He did this in front of everyone in the restaurant. Thank God our server Shawna was sweet or else I would've zero stars if I could If you want to have lunch and be treated like crap I suggest you come to Armstrongs read more

In town to visit my two best friends from high school. It was suggested that we go to Armstrong's for lunch. Wow Wow Wow! Another reason to move back here. I ordered the hot sausage casserole with salad or soup. I chose the wedding soup which came out in a huge bowl. The wedding soup was not the usual couple of small meatballs in broth. No this soup was filled with stuff and that is how I like my soup. Lots of stuff. Hubby and I shared it because had I eaten it all, I would not have had room for the hot sausage casserole. The hot sausage casserole was on a bed of fetticine with sauce and lots and lots of wonderful melted cheese. The sausage had a bite to it and was definitely better than what you can find in a grocery, even here in Pittsburgh. Generous serving which is good because I have lots to take home for later. Husband ordered the chicken romano with two huge sides of spaghetti. Again excellent but I give the edge to my casserole probably because of all that melted cheese. For dessert, we split a piece of chocolate mousse cake with whipped cream. I was in seventh heaven and also stuffed. Service was attentive. The only complaint I have is that we could not find a sign for the restaurant and for people coming here for the first time, that could be a problem. If I had more room in the car i would have gone back the next day for a carry out order but I am returning in October and you will find me at Armstrong's again munching on another hot sausage casserole. read more

I love this place. The penne vodka is the best I have ever had. I am always craving it! We always get the fried provolone as an appetizer. My husband loves the stuffed eggplant. The portions are huge!! Service is great! Also it is BYOB. read more

Armstrong's Restaurant - Penne with vodka. Added chicken. That is 1lb of pasta! Huge portions! - American Near Me - Coraopolis, Pennsylvania

Food was all very salty and not great. Had the wedding soup and it tasted like canned soup. Ordered a side of meatballs that were not good but also very salty. Penne with vodka sauce was good except I ordered the shrimp on it. Not sure how you make shrimp taste so salty and odd, but it was not good. read more

We are from Ohio, and were visiting the Pittsburgh airport. I was surprised that there weren't more restaurants around the area, and looked for something that was popular with the locals. Armstrong's came up. We drove right by it once, because the signs weren't that great, but so glad that we found it! It's in a small plaza like setting. The spaghetti and meatballs were some of the best I've ever had. I was truly surprised at how good the dish was! The meatballs were excellent, the spaghetti was cooked just right, plenty of sauce and the sauce was great. The helping was huge, and I ate leftovers for two more days! My sister had the steak sandwich and she said it was excellent. The service was great! The place was packed, but everyone got in and got out very quickly. Our server recommended some excellent desserts, but we were too stuffed from all the good food. I wish we were a lot closer so that we could visit Armstrong's again. If we're ever near Pittsburgh airport again I will certainly make a trip back. read more

Everyone kept telling me, YOU HAVE TO TRY ARMTRONGS. I'm beginning to wonder if I'm just unlucky or local people here have no taste buds. For those who haven't been, Armstrong's in a mainstay in Coraopolis, tucked away in a strip mall at Thorn Run and Beaver Grade roads. It's basically a family restaurant that, if not for a view of the kitchen and a missing fire place, would almost have an "inn-like" feel to it with the stone walls. On a huge menu with many American and Italian dish, I ordered the veal parmagian, which came with the choice of soup/salad and pasta/potato for $18.95. I opted for the Italian Wedding soup as my introductory offerings. Armstrongs hits a home run with their soup. It was a very large bowl, which was a pleasant surprise, but the taste was outstanding and might be the best I've ever had. It was loaded with white meat chicken, small meatballs, pasta, escarole, and a delicious broth. Coming from a very Italian area outside Providence, RI, I was literally in shock. Unfortunately, it went down hill from there. I soooo wanted to give this a 4/5 star rating. My food came out fast -- almost too fast. The portion size was enormous. However, food is clearly about quality not quantity. The veal and breading (while crisp) were both unseasoned. Note I didn't say under seasoned, I said unseasoned. The type that would make Robert Irvine throw the dish on the floor. It was completely tasteless and an absolute travesty to the poor calf that died for this meal. Next I tackled the portion that had sauce and cheese, hoping for a save. Their sauce is an insult to every Italian grandmother in the world. This watery red mess had NO seasoning whatsoever (which should be evident by bits of color from basil, oregano, etc...) It tasted like a mass produced variant of Chef Boyardee's sauce. Gross. The same sauce was drenched all over my linguine, so you know how I feel there. The service was great and soup was excellent, so hopefully I'll give it another try for scrod, open faced roast beef, or something else. For now, I recommend you try another Coraoplis local for Italian offerings. read more

Holy moly, this place is so delicious! Homemade, big portions. Had the Italian calzone, and I kid you not, it's as big as my face!! Lol read more

Today I took my 3 year old little man to lunch at Armstrong's. I had the BLT and when it arrived it was HUGE, loaded with fresh crisp Bacon and oh so yummy. I had to ask for a "to go" container right away. lol We also had the moz sticks, which are large. Little man had the kiddos pasta and meatball. They ended up bringing him two HUGE meatballs. We ended up taking a lot of food to go. It was a great visit, great service, relaxed atmosphere and friendly faces.:0) read more

First, let me say I've been eating at Armstrong's since the 80's when they had one location on Grove Road in Castle Shannon. I live in the West Hills now, and I go to the Moon location. This place is a Pittsburgh Classic. The food is delicious. The food is ALWAYS delicious!! The service is great. The service is ALWAYS great!! The catering and take out tastes just like in the restaurant and they give you all the extras - this is ALWAYS the way they do it!! It's great for date night, it's a great place to take your growing teens/young men because they won't leave hungry!! I have never thought to write a review for Armstrong's before, but I must say that I cannot understand the reviews that are even 4 stars or below. This place is the best, you can't beat it!! What would I recommend? Anything, everything!! I've had the wedding soup, the salads, the sandwiches, the eggplant parm (OMG) the chicken parm, the fish, the pasta... Suffice to say that whatever you get you will love. Of course, like with any other GOOD restaurant, you will hit a wait if you go during lunch or dinner rush. So just use some common sense and plan accordingly. It is worth it!! read more

In a nutshell: typical American Italian restaurant serving up huge portions. When I think of American Italian, Armstrong's comes to mind. There's nothing fancy about the restaurant but you can tell the folks that dine here aren't here for that. The diners seem to be regulars because the wait staff seem to know everyone and treat them as if they're family. At first look at the menu, most entrees are between $10-$20 but you're basically getting 2-3 meals out of it, so it turns out to be a great deal. The food is simple and it tastes decent, nothing to really complain about. But it's also nothing to rave about. If you're in the area and looking to stay away from chain restaurants, this is a good place to try. And come hungry. read more

I tried Armstrong's for lunch with a large group. We arrived at 1115 on a Wednesday and was seated immediately. I ordered the lunch baked ziti and it came with a soup or salad, I got the salad. 10m later the food arrived and no one complained of the portion or taste. I was unable to eat all of the lunch portion and was told the dinner portion comes in a bowl. Very good. read more

We had lunch with friends. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. Food took some time but was really good. There were many people from the offices in the neighborhood ordering for take out. It is the typical family type of a restaurant. Portions had a good size. We liked the place. read more

Home cooking and large portions. We usually come here with extended family, So 6-8-10-12 people. We choose Armstrong's since they have a large variety on their menu and most is very good. The tomato sauce is a bit disappointing All the dinners come with a salad and the portions are large. maybe a bit to large, but then again you have enough for lunch the next day. you can call ahead to put your name on the list and bring your own wine or beer, they do not have a bar read more

Good food, good portions, good price. Love the meatball sub! The hardest part about eating here is finding a seat! This is a nice family friendly atmosphere. read more

I am a native of the area, it's probably been about 22 years since I was here last, and I remember why. I ordered my beverage, and the waitress had brought the glass and set it down on the table holding the top rim of the glass, which after working in restaurants for 11 years wouldn't have done on my first day. Ordered the Italian hoagie, and I requested no onions, but to substitute banana peppers instead, and there's an additional fee for a veggie substitution. Really. Received our food, my hoagie was a sad excuse for a hoagie. There was more lettuce than meat on the bun, and the fine Italian meats were bland. The cheap cuts at Giant Eagle has more flavor. They try ed to cover the small size of the sandwich by putting a mountain of fries on the plate. I had seen much nicer, larger, meater sandwiches from Subway for $6.00! The Ranch dressing must be stretched, as it's almost as runny as milk. The locals that come here must never experience "fine dining" or really good food. If you're looking for good food I would suggest looking elsewhere... possibly Mario's or ordering delivery pizza. I would prefer McDonald's more. My lunch mate ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich, it looked fried past the point it needs and looked as if it was a pre frozen chicken filet prebreaded in Buffalo chicken crumbs. And what restaurant doesn't have a coffee pot to refill coffee cups. read more

Definitely overpriced, but the food is quite good - the way they have takeout service set up really works!

We've always liked Armstrong's, but don't get to it too often. We picked up 4 entrees to feed 7 people at the baptism of our daughter. The wife and I got two more meals out of it. Good food AND large portions- love it. read more

I've always liked Armstrong's, generally. Problem is they haven't changed their menu in eons. They really need to update.

Meh, it's ok. The service was very good, the servings are huge and the menu is extensive- I think that's why the rating is so high but the food itself is just ok. read more

Quality food that has stood the test of time. I haven't been here for years and it was exactly as I remember it. The steak salad was full of steak, french fries and hard boiled eggs. The pasta dishes were flavorful with a thick meat sauce. The meatballs are large and garlicky - two could easily make an a meal. I was happy to see the peanut butter pie was still on the menu. The familiarity made for a good meal. read more

The atmosphere and food were very good. We were sat promptly, and the waitress was prompt to take beverage orders... then we waited about 10 minutes and the when they finally arrived she had it wrong. She fixed it but again it took longer than it should to just get a Diet Coke in the kitchen next to us. I've always liked Armstrong's but the poor service this most recent time was very disheartening. read more

It's hard to find an Italian restaurant that can compare to homemade cooking but Armstrong's comes pretty close. They are easily the best Italian food in the area. Their pasta dishes are huge and delicious and they have my favorite wedding soup from any restaurant. They also have really great sandwiches, salads and other non-Italian dishes. read more

I tried different pasta dishes from here and was disappointed. It lacked the flavor you expect from italian cuisine, it was so bland. However the scrod dishes they have here are really good, that is the only thing I order from this restaurant. The service is good, the waiters/waitresses are pleasant and helpful. read more

I've been going to this place since it opened. It's OK. My parents love it. To me there's not enough healthy options but maybe that's just my preferences. read more

The food speaks for itself. Homemade tasting and fresh. The reason for the 4 star rating is due to the cost, has gone up a lot in the past years. Also the staff at the Moon location can come off as rude at times. Bridgeville location is my favorite they are fast and friendly. read more

First the cons: My wife ordered the chicken parmigiana with fries and the wedding soup. The food was nothing special. She ordered the lunch special and it came with two chicken breasts instead of just one, so pretty good bang for the buck. Just not that tasty. And we had to pay an extra $2 for the soup. Also, the restaurant was very hot. We were sat just outside the kitchen, so I'm not sure how it feels if you are sitting further away from the kitchen. Pros: The waitress was very attentive. I ordered the chicken and spinach salad and it was delicious and satisfying. The price was very reasonable. After taxes and tip, it was less than $35 (we did not get drinks). The booth seats were comfortable. And the restaurant seemed pretty clean. Unfortunately we probably won't be going back since my wife's meal was not that great and it was so hot inside. read more

Say 2.5 stars. There's an equal amount of plus's and minus's. To start - there isn't one healthy item on the menu and it's not vegetarian friendly. Basic menu with nothing creative at all. Very yummy baked ziti and manicotti. Clean place. Big portions. Family place. read more

Was at RMU for our sons Lacrosse tournament and yelp reviews steered us toward this place. Everything we had was quite tasty from the wedding and beef barley soups to our main dishes of Lasagna and Chicken Romano. Ordered buffalo chicken tenders as well since I must try every new places buffalo sauce..;) They were excellent! Would eat here again for sure read more

Phenomenal!!!!! The lunch specials are out of this world. Do yourself a favor and try the penne with vodka sauce, add hot Italian sausage. Best ever! The wedding soup is outrageously delicious. Highly recommend this place at minimum once every couple months. read more

Phenomenal food! The calzones are massive and taste great, lots of fillings. The waitresses and staff are very friendly and good at their jobs. I'd like if there was one north of the city. read more

Don't order the wings. Stick to the sandwiches and salads. I'm not sure I've seen lower grade wings in my life.

It is a bit pricey but absolutely worth it. The portions are huge and I have always gotten something that I enjoyed. The steak salad and calzones are especially delicious. read more

Pretty much anything you get here is good. Wedding soup is good as is the English Scrod. Vodka Penne is also very good. Pumpkin Cheesecake was amazing. Stuffed mushrooms with crab was just ok. Good place to grab a better than decent meal. read more

Called to reserve for a party of 18 for a graduation celebration from the police academy. This place would not take the reservation because it was a party over 14. Person was rude and unaccomodating. Our boys in blue deserve better. I recommend a boycott of this place. I know of at least 18 people that will never go there again. What a shame. The next place I called was more than happy to accommodate us and collect our $1000 for dinner read more
