Yelp Review 2023 #203:
My friends and I had a reservation at Aromi for one of my many birthday dinners. The space is quite tight. It gets quite loud - including ourselves. This used to be Nittaya's.
They have a simple menu, and a specials menu. For starters, we got a charcuterie board, and Fritto Misto. For our entrees, different pasta dishes. And finished with some desserts.
Affetatti:
Charcuterie board with house-baked flatbread and Itallan cheeses, mortadella, prosciutto, salami, green grapes, olives, and Granny Smith apple slices. 3/5
Fritto Misto:
Deep-fried calamari, shrimp, asparagus, sautéed shishito pepper with lightly spicy marinara sauce on the side. The texture is grainy and mealy. The sauce was quite good. 3/5
Pasta of the Day (tagliatelle, garlic white wine sauce, pesto drizzle, prawns):
A few of us ordered this. Layers of flavors from the garlic white wine sauce, and the pesto - yum! You get 3 pieces of shrimps (prawns are bigger) shell and tail on. 4/5
Spaghetti Carbonara:
Pancetta, egg yolk, Parmigiano Reggiano. Creamy sauce on Al dente spaghetti. 4/5.
Ravioli:
Wild mushroom ravioli with short ribs and its own demi-glace. 4/5
Spaghetti Neri:
Squid ink spaghetti with lobster, scallops in Arrabbiata sauce. Generous portions of seafood. Sauce was superb! 4.5/5
Other items ordered:
Eggplant Parmigiana, Cannoli, Crème Brûlée, and Tiramisu.
The service from our main server was pretty good. The lady that was clearing tables was too anxious to take our plates away even if we were clearly not done yet (still chewing, just resting the fork) who also ignored me when I asked for a box!
