    It was good quality sushi, but it was too salty and spicy even when we requested less spice. Also, the restaurant is in a former diner, which makes the ambience attractive because it’s been remodeled, but it’s stuck in that configuration.

    This was our first time at the new location, and it was stunning! The food was as delicious as always, and our server was fantastic. But unfortunately, she had to leave as we were finishing dinner. We would have loved to meet the server who would be taking over since we were done with our dessert and waiting for someone to come over. Romina helped us with our coats as we left, and I took a moment to ask about the space upstairs. She was so kind and gave us a quick tour. Even though we had a great time, Armani will still be one of my favorite restaurants in NYC.
