Aroma

We were excited to visit a Michelin restaurant so close to the magnificent Colosseum. The food was decent, the bread was absolutely delicious, and the chef’s complimentary offerings were a lovely touch. Aroma is worth visiting for the location and ambiance, but the food didn’t quite live up to our high expectations.

We tried the chef's tasting menu. Wine paring was amazing, it was truly well done. Food was very good, just like anything and anyone, preferences varied. In my opinion all dishes were very good except for one. Price is a bit high for the restaurant. On the other hand, prices at these types of restaurants have been going up recently. Overall great experience. The view is great, the restaurant is small but it doesn't feel crowded.

It was a very pleasant experience. The staff was very helpful and the restaurant is very kid friendly. We had the tasting menu with wine pairing. Special mention to Massimo who made every effort to engage with the children and was very friendly.

I recently dined at Aroma that left me questioning the credibility of the Michelin guide itself, especially after the many Michelin dining experiences during my recent trip to Italy. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that this establishment does not live up to the expectations set by its prestigious rating. First and foremost, the food was underwhelming. While I had hopes for a memorable culinary experience, the dishes were mediocre at best. The flavors were bland, food was barely warmer than room temperature, and the presentation lacked the creativity and finesse one would expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant. The service was equally disappointing. While some of the staff was polite, the overall attentiveness and professionalism were lacking. It felt as though the staff was not adequately trained to handle the demands of a Michelin dining experience, which further detracted from the evening. To add insult to injury, the prices were exorbitant for the quality of food and service provided. I left feeling as though I had paid a premium for a dining experience that fell far short of expectations. My experience at Aroma was disappointing and frustrating. It is hard to understand how this restaurant has earned a Michelin star when it offers overpriced, subpar food and mediocre service. I would not recommend dining here, as there are far better options available.

Aroma is an absolutely fabulous restaurant! The views are so amazing! The food was so well prepared and presented that I felt like I was royalty. The staff was all so friendly and accommodating. Katherine was so sweet. Thank you all for providing my business friends and I a spectacular evening. Truly phenomenal. Billmurfe

If you have an abundance of money beyond your needs and are looking to get rid of it quickly, this place is the best way to burn through your cash in no time. Be advised, you should arrive with a full stomach before coming here. What will be served to you are merely miniature samples of dishes that haven’t been properly cooked.

Great spot for foodies and history lovers. I would recommend booking an early evening service so you can enjoy the Colosseum at sunset and avoid the heat of the day. The tasting menu is aligned with typical Roman cuisine and the chef's creativity is rather impressive. LOVED having the carbonnara served out of a cocktail shaker.

My wife and I booked this restaurant 2 months in advance after seeing the pictures online. We were very excited to celebrate our anniversary here. When we got to the restaurant we were seated in a corner where I could not enjoy the view. We were guided to the table, no one pulled a chair out for us which seems pretty customary. We seated ourselves. The server seemed like it was his first day on the job. He asked us which language we speak. We told him English. The menu he gave us was in Italian. He couldn’t explain the menu and didn’t have answers for our questions. The food was awful. I washed my waygu down with water, my wife’s risotto was very bland. The second dish of my wife’s was extremely salty and we had to send it back. Everything was extremely overpriced. Looking at the criteria for a Michelin Star this restaurant did not meet any of them. We left with stomach aches and a huge bill. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.
