What, a chain restaurant recommendation? In a MALL?? Yes, believe it or not, this is a great place to eat in spite of its chain-ness and its middle-of-the-mall location. Armani is a wonderful meal. Lightly prepared pasta with gentle sauces, fresh seafood and, best of all, pasta that actually tastes homemade. This beauty of this bountiful meal is that one can throw on the designer labels, see and be seen, and people watch at no finer a people-watching location than the South Coast Plaza Mall. Don't miss any pasta with the bay shrimp. Spectacular! And, if you really want to have the full experience, try a full bottle of San Pelligrino between you and a date while you ignore the staff..    []
