About the restaurant
Aromi, a name resonating with a profound connection to Italy’s culinary tale, entrenched in the aromatic essence of rosemary and an array of herbs. Across each region, a distinctive symphony of herbs gracefully dances to enhance local dishes, forming a celebration of flavours that transcends the ordinary.

Drawing inspiration from the rich tapestry of Italy’s rustic Renaissance, every detail of our space is thoughtfully curated to greet you with an ambiance that exudes warmth and style.

Whether you're enjoying a romantic dinner or celebrating a special occasion, our restaurant located on New Street in Brighton, promises an incredible dining experience. At Aromi, you are more than a guest; you are embraced with the heart of Italian-style comradeship.
