Aromi Caffe and Pizzeria

The food tastes great, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality. Authentic Sicilian cuisine. The interior design is cozy and visually appealing. The restaurant has washrooms in the basement, though they can be quite dirty at times. Customer service is hit or miss، some of the older staff aren’t very pleasant, and when I asked a younger staff member for water, he simply pointed to the bottles while standing right next to them instead of bringing one. Despite that, I still recommend the place for the food and ambiance.

No reservation, no problem. Got seated pretty quickly. Tight space, a bit loud, but the vibe was relaxed and easygoing. Pizza was rectangular (yes, really), but the taste delivered: fresh toppings, good balance, and crunchy, airy crust. A solid spot for a casual pizza night 🍕

I passed by this restaurant around noon to early afternoon and saw a long queue it was quite busy. However, when I returned in the early evening, around 6 PM on a Sunday, there was no line at all and the atmosphere was very relaxed. If you’d prefer to avoid waiting, I recommend coming during this time. Dine-in orders are freshly heated, which is a nice touch. I also tried the tiramisu, which was enjoyable. I had high expectations for the pizza, but personally didn’t enjoy the pizza sauce it was quite tangy, more sour than I’m used to. While it might suit some palates, it wasn’t quite to my taste.

The focaccias in Aromi are absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend trying the one with aubergine and tomato sauce (I think it was called Parmigiano Focaccia). The sauce was so rich in flavour and it complimented the cheese and the veggies so well. The only downside of the place was the chaos that was there. Even though the food was already ready, it took the staff quite some time to heat up the focaccias. I know that many people were waiting, but still, the logistics of the customer service could be improved. Also, when we finally sat at the table, it wasn't cleaned after the previous customers. Still, the food itself won us over.

Great value for money. Great selection of pizza varieties and delicious cakes and pastries. Our favourite was the caprizioasa slice and the pistachio cake! The queue was huge and seats were scarce when we went, so make sure you divide and conquer by splitting up and having someone in the queue and someone getting a table ….

Have been here for both lunch and dinner. Pizza at lunch is more like a sourdough bread with pizza toppings on top and not quite proper pizza. Dinner pizza is actually proper pizza, which was quite good. They sometimes have a 2 for 1 pizza deal which makes it much more worth it but doesn’t happen often. Minimal service, gets quite busy during lunch on weekends so tables may sometimes go uncleaned.

We went to Aromi for their pistachio latte, but we were blown away with all the options available. So we went for a slice of the Piccante pizza, one each of the arancini balls and one of the tiramisu! The Pistachio latte and tiramisu was our favourite though. Wasn’t personal a huge fan of the pizza. The latte was very nutty and earthy taste. The tiramisu wasn’t too overpowering and had a rich and sweet taste to it. Overall 7/10.

The food was great, but the service at the counter was terrible. I ordered six pizzas and some cakes for my family at the counter. I wasn’t aware that my husband had already paid, so I asked the lady how to pay for the food. She gave me a very condescending look, as if I were an idiot. It was an extremely unpleasant experience and ruined what should have been an enjoyable family meal. I will never visit this restaurant again and would not recommend it to anyone.
