I'm hesitant to dine at a place owned by a fashion designer. My instinct is to head south towards Babbo or I Trulli (where I've had good meals), Lupa, or somewhere new. I'm perfectly happy with a riceball from Papa Perrone's truck, so I have a feeling I will feel out of place at Armani Ristorante. I'm guessing Mia Dona is a better bet, for Italian in midtown?
