Here he took over an old restaurant and transformed it into a "Bottiglieria con Cucina" which he named Armando al Pantheon. Armando is an exceptional cook and in a short time the small establishment gained notoriety. The specialties of Roman cuisine, prepared in their pure and essential form and supported by quality raw ingredients, became a reference point for those who love typical Roman cuisine. In the seventies, Armando was joined by his sons Claudio and Fabrizio. Armando al Pantheon became a place frequented by figures from culture and entertainment, as well as by Romans and visitors. From the eighties to the 2000s, the two brothers differentiated their roles: Fabrizio specialized in dining room service and cellar management, while Claudio joined his father in the kitchen, learning the secrets of the trade. After 2000 came important accolades that confirmed Armando al Pantheon as a gastronomic landmark of Rome's historic center. Claudio and Fabrizio have handed over the helm to the third generation, who had already been working alongside them for some time: Fabiana and Flavio Gargioli are now in charge. In the kitchen work the young and experienced hands of Graziano Roscioli and Mario Rinaldi. As chef de partie, Claudia Gargioli joins them. The dining room is entrusted to Flavio's organization and hospitality, while Fabiana also oversees all cellar management. The restaurant has been expanded with an outdoor terrace overlooking the Pantheon and a small interior room, designed to ensure greater privacy during private dinners and events. For the Gargiolis, cooking means first and foremost welcoming guests. That is why in 2015 Casa Armando was born, an apartment located right above the restaurant, in the heart of Rome, designed for those who wish to spend their Roman holidays just steps from the Pantheon.
