Had my daughter's baby shower at Aroma Osteria and it was wonderful. The food was wonderful, waitstaff was attentive and Alex is a pleasure to work with. No hesitation to recommend for an event or an enjoyable dinner.

Have been here many times for dinner and it is by far some of the best italian food you can get in the area (way better than Cosimos). The only knock is that this place can be terribly slow with service. When we come with a party of 5 or 6 it can take us 2-3 hours to eat. Would I go back again, yea of course because the food is great. Just be weary if you have time restrictions.

My wife and I returned to this restaurant, post-pandemic, looking forward to a renewal of the quality we remembered from years past. Well, that's where searching for nostalgia will trip you up. The disappointment was almost tragic given the general shortage of fine dining in this area. Like many other restaurants, Aroma having returned from the dead is now operating shorthanded--no one permanently there to greet, check reservations and coats, no bartender, a skeleton wait staff and one doesn't need to know the kitchen crew is now either inexperienced or poorly trained. Shall we begin? The wines by the glass offered a reasonable pour at $12-13 but the choices were minimum,--two reds and a few whites. Now, there is one of the great wine stores in the area almost across the road from the restaurant and you'd think they could take advantage of that fact and stock a greater diversity. Potential supply chain issues are not the problem. Next, their salads were great as remembered, one a version of the Caesar and the other a tasty combination of smoked trout and arugula (but, note, the usual peppery arugula was almost tasteless, no doubt a result of the winter season). The entrees were both face plants (or maybe belly flops depending on your anatomical location of choice) for different reasons. The special fish of the day, a trout served over barley, was beyond bland and not especially fresh and definitely not worth the $32 (you can't make up all your lost profits during the closure with one dish!). The chicken in porcini mushroom sauce was tough and poorly cooked, the sauce itself much too slimy. So that was the good news, the bad was that the portions were generous! After we mentioned our disappointment to the server (in the kindest most understanding way), we received a visit from the manager who I think was trying to look concerned but his demeanor might have equally been understood as preliminary to a punch in the nose. To his credit, he tried to make things whole, or at least better. We did, however, pass on the complimentary limoncello, since Madame had already bolted and was revving the car engine. It genuinely pains me to write this review since we have been fans for years and chose Aroma to help signal the end of a much-too-long absence from the joys of restaurant dining and this was our go-to first choice. Too many expectations? Possibly, but our altered universe has had its effect on Aroma. We'll content ourselves for the foreseeable future with former fond memories of it.

Sometimes you can get something really different here, that is amazing and other things on their menu are not as different and more cliché. Their drinks are really delicious I'd say everything is pretty fairly priced. I would say for a Hudson Valley restaurant that is supposed to be a little on the higher end, I wish it was a touch better than it was.

We celebrated an important birthday ( I will not disclose the number- lol) here on a Wednesday night. We were very pleased with everything. We were 14 adults & 2 kids so we ordered (pre arranged) from the Family Style Menu. We upgraded one of the anti pasto choices- ordered 3 instead of 2. Then we had 2 pasta dishes, salad, bread and 2 Main Courses with roasted potatoes and string beans. The’Dolci’ Dessert was delicious. We were full and satisfied. The Manager Alex- took very good care if us. We were in the private Naples Room. I rate this place 5 stars. The Chef does a great job. This is the perfect place for a special party. I felt like I was in Italy in a Tuscan Villa. Bravo!!
