Excellent Italian food... We had a few different dishes and appetizers and they were all great. The pizza and the orichette especially but the pasta Bolognese was terrific too. Service perfect with good recommendation of dishes and wine, and the complimentary lemoncello so authentically Italian. Knocked it out of the park! More

I was in town visiting and we found this gem after playing putt putt. We were given a cute table immediately and we ordered the special pizza and the lasagna. Both were phenomenal. The staff was even kind enough to make me a decaf latte … More

Fantastic pizza with airy dough and charred bubbles, crispy calamari with squid ink aoli that tastes of the sea. Desserts are a meal of their own, recommend the tiramisu and the refreshing limoncello and lemon sorbet creation. The interior is warm and inviting, the staff is friendly and attentive. A charming find! More

A very poetic and aromatic atmosphere that lives up to its name, “Aromi.” The warmly lit atmosphere empathized by the chiseled red bricks and the roaring pizza oven is something that is not present in many restaurants nowadays. … More

The food and the service were fantastic. The recommendation for the Tono pizza was spot on was a little skeptical at first tuna fish on pizza, but it was very, very good. Highly recommend the spot. More

Cannot rave enough about this place, the food, the warm service. That is what food should taste like! The pizza is baked in a brick oven you can see from the dining room. While waiting for your order they serve fresh slices of rustic bread with a flavored olive oil that is tangy. Every detail is like that - genuine and delicious. More

We had a lovely lunch here. The restaurant feels like a true neighborhood spot—warm and cozy. We ordered oysters and lasagna, both fresh and delicious, but dessert was on another level. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between elegant and relaxed. I highly recommend this place. More

Absolutely outstanding dining experience. A classic modern authentic Italian restaurant, nestled in a beautifully hostoric Brooklyn neighborhood. Accommodated without reservations even though they were packed. Drinks, appetizer, pizza entrees, and dessert all exquisite beyond words. Service from everyone was delightful. Can't rave enough. Phenomenal on all counts. Just go and see for yourself. This is the real deal! Thank you Aromi!!

Another perfect meal and night at Aromi! The pizza is divine and hospitality warm and welcoming! We have become regulars since we discovered them in the nearby Carroll Gardens neighborhood. My favorite is the margherita pizza and salamino picante and the delicious polpette. The regular drink is the Aromi Lemonade.

What a phenomenal dinner!!! Omg!!! Best pizza - hands down!!! (Did not have such a delicious pizza in Italy). Try MBP - mortadella, burrata, pistachio- thank me later - your life will never be the same.
- crispy calamari- not greesy, perfectly crunchy and the black ink mayo brings it to another level.
- branzino with clams and mussles - wow! Fish was flacky and moist - phenomenal!
- tiramisu - so rich and satisfying.
And the atmosphere of this restaurant is amazing: it is busy, lively, happy, and makes you feel like you are somewhere in Italy: the waiters are very knowledgeable and professional. Our waiter gave us great recommendations for food and wine. The hostess is accommodating and welcoming.
I cannot wait to be back! (That's the thought I have in my head every time I leave this restaurant

Eating Italian food outside of Italy is always a bit of a risk, but this restaurant completely exceeded our expectations. We truly felt like we were eating at home — if not even better. The food was authentic, full of flavor, and prepared with great care and passion.
The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the waitstaff were exceptional: friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind, making us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. Prices were absolutely fair and well justified by the quality of the food and the overall experience. Everything was perfect from start to finish. Highly recommended — we will definitely be back.
