Very mixed rating for this restaurant. The food was outstanding, but was told upon ordering that they were out of any dishes that were prepared carbonara and at the time of ordering dessert they were out of cannoli. Also, their wine and beer selection was a joke. I ordered a bottle of Peroni and was told they were out and substituted Moretti. After consuming two bottles , they ran out and had to substitute Stella. My wife ordered a Pinot Grigio and her 1st glass was very dark in color and when she ordered her second glass, she noticed that it was a very cheap brand of yellowtail. They were charging more for a glass of this then double the price of a bottle that you can buy in the store. The other couple in our group ordered a Sauvignon Blanc and a glass of Cabernet. when requesting a second glass of Cabernet, he was told they were out of that and had to substitute a Merlot. I find it very puzzling that on a Saturday night that a restaurant would be out of such staple drinks and food items They got me once, but I will never go back. very expensive for the liquor offerings. And all this was after a 6:30 reservation that we had to wait almost a full hour to be seated at 7:25.

Me and my family absolutely loved this place! We came from Dallas the weekend the Bills played the Bengals exactly for that game because my son is a very big Bills fan and we wanted to have a nice dinner the Saturday before so we found this place and it did not disappoint. We did walk in a bit late, maybe an hour before they closed, but nonetheless the owner welcomed us in like we were family. He and his business partner attended to us for the majority of the night. The food was excellent, I got the lobster ravioli, my son got the spaghetti and meatballs and his godfather ask for a special request and with no hesitation it was made. And to end off the night the owner offered us a drink of Limoncello, it was perfect. I wanna thank them for the great hospitality and great service, hopefully we'll be back for another game and without a doubt we will be there for our Saturday night dinner!

We are long-time patrons of Trattoria Aroma and continue to absolutely love this restaurant. My only complaint is that their menu is so full of wonderful options that I have a hard time deciding what to order. This is a lovely restaurant. It always reminds me of some of the trattorias we frequented in Rome. This place is a treasure.

It is so refreshing to dine in a lovely atmosphere and not have to raise your voice to have a conversation. The service was also great. I had a lovely chardonnay that was very moderately priced, but I felt the entree prices were definitely on the high side.

Stopped in for brunch and we were delighted with the options and quality of food, and the European style charm of this restaurant. Jeanie embodied hospitality and kept the amazing coffee topped up, and the baked eggs were fire! We look forward to trying out the pizza from their brick pizza oven.

This food was AMAZING. I got the fontina pasta special and it was some of the best cheese and pasta I've ever eaten. Incredibly happy!

Did not have a good Christmas Eve experience. We were seated in the old Breakin' Eggs restaurant next door that looked extremely shabby with holes in the wall and tools laying around, very un-festive atmosphere. We had 2 in our party of 9 that we knew were going to be a few minutes late due to a church service. We came prepared to order for them as we wanted to respect the restaurant's time on a busy holiday. We ordered drinks and an appetizer and explained to the waitress that we would be ordering for the 2 people who were not there yet. The waitress brought our drinks and then disappeared for a few minutes and in that time our other 2 guests arrived. Our reservation was for 5pm and at 5:17 the manager or owner came over and scolded our entire party for having a late arrival and stated we needed to order our entrees immediately. We had no problem doing that and were prepared to so did not appreciate the tone of the manager/owner. We ordered our entrees and while the food was not bad, it wasn't anything special, Shortly after our food came out the waitress brought us the bill without checking to see if anyone wanted coffee or dessert. We were there approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes. It all felt very rude and rushed and we did not enjoy ourselves at all. Will not be back.

One of my favorite places! We enjoy coming here and bringing our friends and family who have never been. Also my go to spot for date night or girls dinners.

The manager was very engaged with the clientel. The food was outstanding. We met the Chef Cortez who has inspiring dishes and the atmosphere was superb. The bartender not only made our drinks, he recommended certain wines for certain dishes. And the cost for a table of 6 was amazing. This is a place you not only should try, but frequently come back to. Thank you to all of you for a great night

Would give zero stars if I could. This place was a huge disappointment. The biggest problem here starts at the top. The owners create an uncomfortable, tense environment that seeps into every part of the restaurant. Their attitude and behavior are impossible to ignore, and the way staff interacts around them makes it clear this is not a healthy or respectful place to work — which immediately ruins the dining experience.

The food was mediocre at best and wildly overpriced for what you get. Nothing stood out in a good way. The atmosphere felt dated and catered almost exclusively to an older regular crowd.

This restaurant presents itself as warm and family-oriented, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. It feels forced and transactional, like they’re just taking whatever they can get. For the money, there are far better options nearby. I won’t be returning.

Maybe we just caught them on a bad night… the drinks took a while, and weren’t brought out together. The food also took a while, and 5 of 6 meal came out, again staggered, but the pizza took much longer. Ended up getting it to go, and when I got home, it was burnt.

I wanted to like this place, but it just didn’t happened. For the money, I’d go elsewhere.

What an absolutely amazing dining experience we had! Everything was perfect, from beginning to end.
Our party was greeted warmly and immediately seated. The menu was so appetizing weren't sure what to order.
Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, eventually helping a few of us pick out our dinner.
The food was unbelievable! It was hot, fresh and delicious!!! It also was visually appealing. The owner stopped by to welcome us, making us feel that our visit was appreciated. He was warm and funny. keeping everyone in a lighthearted mood
We will definitely visit again very soon.
Five stars!
