Waitress was a bit ditzy…had no idea what beers they had in stock & we gave her back up picks but she didn’t remember when she came to tell us one was out (also, bottles only). Pricey, but food was pretty good. What was odd was when we asked for a box, the waitress took our 2 pieces of bread we had left ..made me wonder what the heck she was going to do with it & if we got someone else’s leftover bread. Also, the floor is super slippery and I thought someone must have fallen before. I prefer Mulberry or Mangia, but everyone can judge for their own.

I got a bolognese, and a lobster ravioli it was delicious. The owners are always there making sure everything is great. Atmosphere was very elegant. The bar is beautiful.

Firstly, we mistakenly made reservations for the other location and once we arrived there they graciously still provided us a table which was super kind of them.

Found this gem on a whim. Came from Pittsburgh to see Niagara Falls with the family. Food was incredible. Staff and owner were amazing and so kind. Kids and wife had pizza. I had spaghetti and meatballs. We will definitely go back any time we’re in the area. Thanks again for the great experience and accommodating us with our two young children.

If I could rate this restaurant no stars at all I would. My friends and I made reservations for Valentine’s day (well in advance) for 7:45. I checked in at 7:40 and then we waited until 8:30 to be seated. We were slightly aggravated but still gave them the benefit of the doubt seeing as they were busy. By the time it was 9:20 we had only gotten our drinks. We had waited almost two hours to be seated, place our order and only get drinks. Our server was one of the owners, she was nice but the other owner who I’m assuming is her husband was far from understanding and completely rude. When they brought our appetizers out right as we were getting up to leave, he asked us what the problem was to which we explained we’d been here for almost two hours with nothing but our drinks and we wanted to go. He made a comment that we should notice that they’re busy to which I told him it isn’t justifiable and he told us to get up and leave so we did. Other customers in our section were also as disappointed with their experience. We asked a couple who was there well before us if they had gotten their food and they said no. The other couple beside us applauded us for leaving because the service was just absurd. They also mistreat their staff—I noticed how they talk to one another while I was waiting at the host stand and it was unbelievable. I’ve worked in the serving industry and I couldn’t imagine working under management like that let alone being the owner and thinking our experience was okay in the slightest as well as the way he spoke to us. The picture was our server placing our drinks down at the table beside us and then leaving them there so she could go tend to another table. I’ve been to Trattoria down town and had a great experience but this place is beyond poorly managed and would never recommend to anyone. First and last time I’ll go there and I didn’t even eat anything. What a joke

Food is incredible, aromatic, tasty. Service is friendly but slow. Might be because it’s also a wine bar and meant to allow time to enjoy wine and conversation? Still, you will enjoy everything about Trattoria Aroma. It’s Fine Italian dining!

Disappointed! I have eaten here a few times with at least a 3-star experience. The wait for food was extra long this last time. I ordered the Chicken Milanese. There was no white wine sauce. The chicken was fried too long and was chewy. The breading was falling off the chicken, and it was super greasy. The waiter did acknowledge I didn’t eat or like my meal. He said he was going to bring it to the chef. A few minutes later, there was no discussion about dessert, coffee, etc. Just brought us the bill and said since we “still had drinks, there was no rush.” I basically ate a very small 28 dollar salad. This place is normally much better. As previously stated, I’m disappointed.

We were celebrating a 21st birthday from our of town with 7 people and everywhere we tried to go had a 1-2 hour wait. On a whim we called Trattoria and they were eager to make a space for us. We can honestly say it was an amazing dinner – the owner stopped by our table multiple times to check in, make jokes and tell stories. He even gave the birthday girl a shot with some history! Every single employee was so kind and fun! The food was amazing – highly recommend the spaghetti and meatballs! If we are ever back in Buffalo we will be stopping at Trattoria Aroma’s!

Ordered a pasta dish with pappardelle and it definitely wasn’t pappardelle, more like fettuccini but overall the dish was delicious. Service was a bit slow, not sure how many tables our server had but there seemed to be an abundance of staff. My husband ended up pouring himself water from the pitcher because we were waiting so long. I would definitely go back to try dinner.
