Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Aroma di Mare offers "delicious food" with attentive service and "great menu reasonable prices." The ambience is charming, and the bar area is enjoyable. However, be prepared for a "noisy" environment and expensive dining. Outdoor seating is available, but some patrons noted issues with chair quality. Visit during the week for a quieter experience.

Our experience was terrible. Everything we tried to order on the menu they were sold out or didn’t have, this included dinks(wine) food, appetizers etc. they didn’t tell you what they didn’t have on the menu they waited until you ordered something that they said sorry we are out of that. Will not be returning this restaurant again!

They have changed their small plates concept to a regular style menu. Beet salad hadd very little beets! Mostly arugula. Veal was chewy. Artichokes tasted like out of a jar - not freshly steamed. Would not order the dish again. Menu was limited. Ambience nice - but since food must be delicious at these prices today, won’t be returning.

Aroma di Mare was a nice dining experience. They offered some great food and with attentive service. The appetizers started with a nice romaine salad and grilled calamari. Entrees were a delicious; a penne pasta with sausage and broccoli rabe and sautéed veal with spinach & red bell peppers over pasta. We initially had a few issues with outside seating, as our chairs had broken seats & had to find substitutes, switching up from other tables. Just a heads up….this place is quite pricey so be prepared for an expensive experience. Also we suggest going during week as weekends tend to be extra busy. Still the food was so great you may want to give it a try.

Food was fantastic as well as service. Only note to owner is that it is time to replace many of your chairs. The faux leather is peeling so badly they look like they were in a salvage sale. I didn’t want the black peel on my dress so I switched it with a better one from another table.
