I took my parents there for dinner, and we all really enjoyed ourselves. The food and service were great, and the chef was kind and interesting. We left very full and happy.

Everything was perfectly portioned, timed, and paired. The ambiance is the best you can ask for in an office building, and it was a special experience. Chef Mario has 16 years of experience in the front of the house, including as a sommelier, and 27 in the kitchen, and it shows!
We made reservations via text a while ago for our anniversary. Chef Mario sent us the menu the week of the reservation to choose soup/salad and an entree, but the other courses were a surprise. We also had no idea what the price would be until we got the bill, but it ended up being $100/person.

Best, most authentic Italian food you can get without buying a plane ticket to Italy. Mario is the sole employee and was incredibly kind. We learned that it’s best to call ahead to make a reservation for both lunch and dinner, as Mario can get pretty busy for private events/dinner services, and sometimes closes for lunch to accommodate.

A unique dining experience. We will definitely plan a return visit soon. We hosted a group of 9 at Aroma Cafe. Mario made the process extremely convenient and was a delight as our host. The food was excellent as well as the service.

I’ve seen the menu posted in the elevator of this office building for years when I took clothes in for alterations. My husband and I decided on a whim to try it. One of the best dinners we’ve ever had.. Each course was more tasty than the last. The ambiance, freshness and flavors of the food, easy conversations about Italy and history of dishes by owner and Chef Mario all made it an incredible evening. The Brushetta, Puttanesca, sausage and peppers, sea bass and Pork dish were absolutely delicious. White linen tablecloths with impeccable service all while being very reasonably priced. A great date night
Great little place with scratch cooking. We had a meatball sub and chicken pasta alfredo. Chef was super nice, everything was hot and fresh and ready on time. Flavors were great. Nothing was overpowering and were a great balance. Wish I lived closer and I could frequent this place!

My favorite Cleveland restaurant and such a hidden gem! I’ve been multiple times and everything is always amazing. Come hungry for some authentic Italian - the food has been absolutely delicious and you’ll want to try everything. Mario is so personable and makes sure you’re enjoying your time and are well fed! Tons of food for a great price and you can bring your own wine!
