Armando’s Restaurant and Bar, Brooklyn Heights’ classic Italian restaurant, has closed its doors after almost 82 years of business. City finance records show that Peter Byros, the restaurant’s owner since 1981, sold the building located at 143 Montague St. to Uri Koptiev for $7,418,000 on Feb. 14. Koptiev is a real estate agent.
The roughly 2,000 square foot (plus basement) restaurant space is listed for rent by Eastern Consolidated for $165 per square foot. Once a hangout for locals like Marilyn Monroe, Arthur Miller and Norman Mailer along with Brooklyn’s many politicians and lawyers, Armando’s has been a fixture since 1936, with the exception of a brief hiatus from mid-2008 to late 2009, when the space was rented to the Spicy Pickle eatery.
