Armando's Bar & Grill
Armando's Bar & Grill is a beloved family-owned restaurant in the small town of Bassano, celebrated for authentic Italian cooking that punches well above its size. Owner and chef Armando, who previously ran high-end restaurants in Calgary, crafts everything fresh, from homemade pasta and house-made sauces to pizza, steaks, seafood, and decadent desserts, often using vegetables from his own nearby garden in summer. Diners praise standouts like the spaghetti, veal-stuffed tortellini, calamari, and the Armando Deluxe pizza, all at reasonable prices. With a warm, inviting atmosphere, an outdoor patio perfect for margaritas, and Armando personally greeting guests, it is a favourite stop for travellers pulling off the Trans-Canada on their way through Canada's Badlands and Dinosaur Provincial Park country.
