Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Aromi Italian Cuisine in San Diego is a beloved spot for its "amazing" pasta and "exceptional" service. The charming ambiance and variety of authentic Italian dishes make it a favorite among locals. Highlights include table-side tiramisu and the unique cheese wheel pasta. However, some find the noise level high, impacting conversation.

    An absolutely amazing meal! The only negative is the noise level. We will return for another delicious meal.

    We had a reservation for 6:30pm. We had seen this place on Instagram and it’s beautiful inside and on the main patio. There’s the main restaurant area and the patio, then there’s an add on patio on the pizza take out side which is essentially overflow. Despite our reservation, we were seated in the overflow spot outside with no heat lamp (we asked and they had no propane and said they couldn’t move us inside). Service and food were lackluster at best. Food came out cold. The busser who attempted to help with the propane was the highlight, very nice man! Overall experience, very disappointing.

    Beware, items are overpriced. Since we had a party of seven, the waiter recommended getting a family style appetizer which had a large selection of what Aromi offers. What he didn't tell us was that it was full priced appetizers which totaled $136. For our party of seven, the total bill was over $750, for lackluster apps and entrees. This included the forced gratuity of 20% for barely adequate service. This was our first and last visit to Aromi.

    Aromi is our favorite Italian food restaurant in all of San Diego! They have the best of everything on the menu from bruschetta and arancini for appetizers, to every pasta, they are all amazing! My husband loves the steak too! The table side tiramisu is to die for! We always order 2 because we love it so much! Our family builds restaurants here in San Diego and when I say Aromi is the best of the best for Italian food, I mean it! The staff is always so nice and accommodating and the owner is so kind and friendly! The style and vibe of Aromi is soooo cute on the inside and out!

    Our waiter Brad was the highlight of the evening. He had outstanding energy and a great vibe about him. I am sure he is paid well but, I would hire Brad and 10 friends just like him for my business! Pay him more to keep that enthusiasm alive, he was shockingly great! Food was great, everything was on point as far as beating our expectations for our first time visiting this establishment. Bottle of wine, appetizer, main course meal, and dessert for two set us back $170 bucks, coupled that with the impressive service was appropriate. Our only negative on the entire experience was that the place is loud. The environment is pretty fun and open but it was loud enough I could not have a conversation without extreme focus on listening to what my wife was saying! This is not a typical Italian decor where its dark and poorly lit with booths of lattice and tacky autographed bottles hanging around. This place looks and feels clean, the food and service was on point, and we will be back!

    From the time we sat down, we experienced outstanding service. The food is excellent, and the ambiance is lovely. It was my son's birthday, and it was all I hoped it would be...Absolutely amazing. I've been here several times, and it continues to be a delight.
