It really shouldn't be that difficult. I ordered the Aroma special, gave them my name. Waited 20 minutes until I saw 2 others getting their food. I asked the shaggy looking guy about my order and he said he got the wrong name down and dismissed that my old was just cold. Then when I opened up the box, potatoes were missing. My rating is well deseved. So many other options and dismissive staff.

Aroma Di Roma is one of those rare spots that feels like a second home. The espresso is bold, the food is honest, and the energy? Always just right. I came here with friends and left feeling like family. That’s the kind of place this is.
As someone who helps people find home for a living, I appreciate the magic of a space where people gather, connect, and slow down. Aroma Di Roma has soul. The kind that lingers long after the last sip. Highly recommend.

Let’s settle the gelato debate first. Aroma di Roma serves what might be Southern California’s finest—creamy, dense, and balanced without cloying sweetness. At $6.50 for four scoops, it’s a steal compared to trendy spots charging double for half the portion. Yes, grocery store ice cream is cheaper, but this is the real deal: lower fat, richer flavor, and craftsmanship that mass producers can’t replicate.
The coffee gelato alone justifies the visit. Imagine espresso concentrate swirled into a velvety base with a ribbon of something between caramel and fudge—not quite either, but better. It’s deep, slightly bitter, and lingers like a good pour-over. If this flavor vanished, loyalists would stage a sit-in.
Service shines here. Staff greet regulars by name, explain flavors patiently (try the pistachio if they’ve restocked), and never rush decisions. Their warmth feels authentically Italian, like the kind your Sicilian nonno would approve.
Claro’s Italian Market? A decent deli, but their gelato lacks this punch. Aroma di Roma’s secret? They focus on freshness. Batches rotate daily, so flavors like blood orange or stracciatella taste vibrant, not freezer-burned.
Pricing leans premium, but fairly. A $14 margherita pizza isn’t Domino’s. You’re paying for ingredients, not grease.
Parking: Snag the 24-minute spot out front for quick grabs. For longer stays, free spaces sit one block away. Pro tip: Arrive before 3 PM weekends to avoid the post-beach crowd.
Final call? This isn’t just gelato. It’s a passport to Italy via Long Beach.

This is a nice place to grab a coffee in Belmont Shore. There's plenty of seating inside and outdoors (some of which is covered to protect you from the elements). The coffee is reasonably priced, but I didn't find the latte's strong enough for my taste. Personally, I didn't think there was much of a selection of cakes and pastries. Nice clean restrooms (which you have to ask for a key to enter). Nice friendly staff.
