We were sat between tables of 2 and 4 by downstairs wall. 2 round tables were near us, one empty and one had 6 people. That table was very loud. They put square tables together next to us to accommodate 12, but they were thankfully not loud. Food was excellent. Taylor a great waiter.

We dined at Aria during restaurant week. The food was amazing and staff very accommodating. Chicken Parmesan and mushroom pasta were the meals of choice followed by chocolate cake, cheesecake and tiramisu. Delicious food.

Visited during restaurant week. We thought the food was very good and our server was attentive even during a very busy evening. The space is energetic so quiet conversation is probably difficult.

We went to Aria for a friend's birthday before a jazz show. When we came in the hostess asked whose birthday it was and I said that our friend and his wife were parking their car and they would be right behind us. They came in and checked in and then found our table. During the dinner and their check-in, the birthday was never mentioned at all. It was restaurant week and the service was also very slow. I was surprised they only had 1 ipa on the restaurant list for beers (according to our server) It was also offending that he said at the beginning of the dinner that we couldn't share or even take a box home. I understand the sharing but not the box thing. The food was good but just average. The dessert was the best but it would have been nice to have a candle for the birthday boy

Was on business and staying nearby at the Marriott City Center so this was a convenient location and I'm glad I ate here. Aria is a very inviting, well designed restaurant and though the menu choices are limited, there is adequate choices for everyone and I'm actually glad they focus on making a few dishes top notch. I had the kale Caesar Salad and the Trout for my main dish and both were excellent! Fresh and the Trout didn't have one single bone, had a healthy portion, and a very unique tangy flavor. Will definitely be back!

Food was mediocre. Plenty of other Italian with better food and ambience. Though the staff were friendly, the service was less than adequate. No complimentary bread (whereas some others were able to get it), wine bottle ordered was left unopened until after we ate the appetizers - drank water in the mean time, had to wait for spoons for desert and ask multiple times - gelato was melting, and parking situation was terrible. On the plus side, very nice place in the first floor. The second floor feels like an addition to a hotel.

We were greeted and immediately seated and served. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly. Everyone in the restaurant seemed to be enjoying themselves. The salad, the lamb shank and the dessert were non-existent after my first taste. I tried to leave some, but it was way too good. Loved every second there.

This year we are doing 12 New Restaurants - 1 each month. Aria was the first one and what a home run it was! Every single item was amazing. Great wine and cocktail selection. Make sure you try the gnocchi appetizer, pork belly, carbonara and the lasagna! Everything was fresh, hot and oh so tasty. Our server was Taylor and he provided excellent service, was knowledgeable about the menu and very friendly. Five stars in my opinion.

The food was okay, I liked chicken parmesan but they barely gave you any pasta. Very small portions of everything and the waitor wasn't really friendly. More of a wine spot not a huge selection of food.

Alright here we go. I'm not usually a review leaving gal, but this experience was supposed to be part of a special Christmas present to my mom and our experience was, well, not that. I made a reservation for my mom and myself before we went to the Tina Turner musical (great show - would give 5/5 stars) as her Christmas present (diner + a show). So, again, this was supposed to be special. Upon arrival, service was slow as we waited for our drink orders to be taken and bread to be brought - but nothing upsetting - especially as we were just chatting and catching up! To avoid quite literally typing a novel, I'll just leave some cliff notes about what happened next that's causing me to leave this review. - I asked about the specials and our waiter, Dakota, simply said "halibut - over a potato something". That was it. Enticing, Dakota. - Our waiter forgot my sweet mom's diet coke. It never came. 45 mins into waiting she just said forget it and she would get one at the show. - We sat for over an hour after ordering our food for it to arrive. They were busy, but like, come one. - We brought our concerns to our waiter, DAKOTA, who quite arrogantly told us that "the food will come when it comes, everyone is waiting" and walked off. Rude. - The food finally comes out. My mom's chicken parm is lukewarm which was weird because we waited so long for it and I asked to add chicken to my carbonara and it was forgotten. - Again, I told our server, Dakota, and he didn't apologize or really acknowledge us at all. He just said he would make sure the additional chicken I added would not be on the bill. Again, rude. - Us and a few tables around us asked for our checks to be brought before we were through eating since the service was so slow. and we were all going to the show. It still took forever. All in all, I was just disappointed. Our waiters attitude was the worst part. Would not recommend. Food was jsut average.

We’ve been to Aria a number of times and the food and service is typically very good. Last night my wife and I were there for Christmas Eve dinner and we were very rushed by our waiter. He made it very apparent he had other places to be. I understand most people prefer not to work on a major holiday but sometimes we just need to put on our good face and suck it up. We will be back and hope our next waiter there is more relaxed and chill.

The ambiance was great! I was looking forward to dining at ARIA since it’s been a few years since the last time I was there. Ordered the Lasagna and it could have been better…temperature wise. The temperature of the food was like it was put in the window HOT but it sat there and ended up coming to the table room temperature. The flavor was GREAT!
