A word from Aria Restaurant

Aria is a very versatile Italian restaurant that can accommodate virtually any sort of dining experience. Aria's menu reflects the cuisine of all of Italy - north to south. Aria's chef/owner Stefano pays homage to dishes familiar in Italy but not acknowledged here such as cous cous, and pastas like… farro and fregola (a Sardinian grain).Continued

"The restaurant was quiet and the staff was extremely attentive. However, given the cost, the food did not live up to expectations. All in all, not a regrettable decision but far from the best place I've eaten at before."

"The food at Aria was wonderful, the wait staff was attentive. However, the cocktails and wine were extremely expensive (a wine spritzer was all seltzer, relatively no wine and still cost $$$) and I think $5.00 for a cup of coffee is a bit much. So, the $30 per person restaurant week special, with 2 glasses of wine, 1 Prosecco, 1 wine spritzer and 2 cups of coffee cost 3 people (with tip) $180.00. Definitely a special occasion or expense account restaurant."

"For a restaurant of this caliber, I have no complaints about the food or appearance: both solidly met expectations. However, after waiting for 40 minutes between the appetizer and entree course, with no apology or explanation, my attitude cooled considerably.

Dessert was served much quicker, then the staff aggressively tried to bus us to free the table: the check came 30 seconds after dessert was served. The staff attempted to clear my wife's dessert plate while there was still food on it. Someone grabbed the bill despite the fact I had not put the cash inside, as we were still finishing dessert.

The staff's overaggressive attitude to clear our table convinced me not to give the kitchen a second chance on a less busy night."

"Waitstaff were all polite and helpful. Ambiance is a very subdued Tuscan style; Christmas decorations stilll in evident late in January, but they actually add to the decor. In retrospect, food was not as good as it first seemed -- special grilled octopus appetizer was rubbery; main course dorade in parchment was moist and tasty however. A good experience, but not overall great."
