Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Aromi Italian Cuisine offers an authentic Italian dining experience with "delicious food" and "wonderful service." Patrons rave about the pasta, especially the "cheese wheel" dish. While the ambiance is charming, some note it can be "a bit loud" inside. Ideal for celebrations, with a friendly staff and extensive wine list.

    We came in last night and had a wonderful experience. Our server was Alessandra and she was just amazing. First off the place is so cute & trendy, I love what they did with the space. We started our meal with the fritto misto (mixed calamari & veggies), fungo ripieno (mushroom w artichoke, red sauce & polenta) which was my personal favorite (the polenta was to die for) and the crispy burrata. We ate everything and left no crumbs ! Then we went on to our main courses. We ordered the fettuccine tartufo (mushroom & truffle - our tables favorite), spicy vodka pasta, ragu Della Nonna (red sauce with meat), and the parmigiana Milanese (eggplant Parmesan). Everything was delicious. The pasta was cooked perfect & al dente, we ate what we could & took the rest home! Then came dessert. It was my father’s birthday and they offered us a dessert of our choice, Alessandra recommended the fresh made table side tiramisu -good choice. Flavors were so well balanced. We also ordered the cannoli and was one of my favorite cannolis ever! Needless to say we will be coming back again! Thank you for the great dinner.

    Restaurant Review: A Taste of Italy If you’re looking for a truly authentic Italian dining experience, this restaurant is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warmth and hospitality that instantly makes you feel like part of the family. The service was impeccable—attentive without being overbearing, and every staff member genuinely seemed to care about our dining experience. The food was nothing short of spectacular. Each dish was a perfect blend of fresh, quality ingredients and traditional Italian flavors. From the rich, velvety pasta to the melt-in-your-mouth tiramisu, every bite transported us straight to the heart of Italy. You can truly tell that this place takes pride in staying true to its roots. The only small suggestion I have would be to adjust the ambiance slightly. While the setting is cozy and inviting, dimming the lights just a bit more and adding sconce table lamps would enhance the atmosphere, creating a more intimate, romantic dining experience that would pair perfectly with their exceptional cuisine. Overall, this restaurant is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates authentic Italian food and exceptional service. We will definitely be returning—and bringing friends along to share in the experience!

    Started with Caesar salad - very good. Followed by mushroom soup - excellent. Finished with checken parm. Very good. I have always had exceptional experiences at Aromi. Highly recommend.

    Aromi is one of our favorites! The food is consistent good and the service is great. We are so thankful to have such a great restaurant option in our local neighborhood. The featured item is the “ wheel”. They rotate a pasta option and create the sauce by torching the cheese wheel and coating the pasta with the melted cheese. This is done table side.

    I loved it. Great service. I got the salmon and my husband got the chicken Parmesan, and we both agreed that our food was slightly overcooked. Other than that we loved everything.

    We so enjoyed our dinner last night. Appetizers and pastas were delicious. The staff so friendly and sweet. I will recommend to all my friends. We did sit outside which made it a little quieter, i know inside is a bit louder. Overall, we loved it. thank you!!
