How have I lived in the Hudson Valley as long as I have and not tried Aroma before? Went with three friends and we all truly enjoyed our dinners. One other friend and I both had the Rigatoni Alla Norma -- a light-ish pasta dish, which was very flavorful. Another friend got the Chicken Parm, which he said he enjoyed; I was surprised that it looked a little different from how I've made chicken farm myself (sort of sliced mozzarella on top as opposed to the real deal), but he really enjoyed it! The third person we were with got the mushroom risotto, which was one of the dinner specials the night we were there; we smelled it as soon as we came in the door, and it smelled great! Fortunately, we had enough room to share a dessert and opted for the Tartuffo, which was the highlight of the meal. Overall, the food was super fresh, and we plan to return -- my only suggestion would be to try to avoid any kind of holiday or graduation weekend, as it's super packed (and rightly so!), so it got a little difficult to hear each other. But otherwise, a really nice evening all around. read more

In all the years that I've lived here, this is the first time I've been here. Came here for my father and brother's birthday dinner. The room that we had was very nice. We were greeted and seated right away. Our server Kyle was excellent and accommodating. We shared a bunch of appetizers for the table, including calamari, the eggplant, the meatball special and the buffalo mozzarella. Everything was delicious. Entrées ranged from the lamb chops to the veal saltimbocca, the ribeye and the salmon. We did try their new dessert option, the warm apple cobbler, which was delicious. Would recommend going for a big party or special celebration. read more

Our first visit was 11 years ago and we remembered it fondly. Our experience this time was very good. We had impeccable service. Friendly, offered recommendations, very attentive. The fig martini cocktail was fire! So very delicious, I ordered two of them. The biggest downfall food wise was the beet salad. Incredibly bland dressing. Not very flavorful salad at all. The veal saltimbocca was okay, the star of the plate was the spinach. But the panzanella starter was divine as was the farfalle deliziose. So scrumptious. We finished with some fantastic desserts. Panna cotta was perfectly tinged with an orange flavor. So silky smooth. And the special dessert of a pear soaked in wine was delectable. It is a boisterous and lively atmosphere without being overly noisy. They do have a lovely terrace, but it was too cold to be seated out there on this visit. Perhaps next time. read more

Visited with my husband. Everything was tasty. Highly recommended. Will visit again. Thank you

I live in Southern Dutchess County and we are blessed with many fine restaurants. Saturday evening we went to Aroma Osteria. I called last minute and we were lucky enough to get a table for 3. The food, service and ambience were just amazing. We had pork chops with hot and sweet peppers. Gnocchi in cream sauce and farfella in cream sauce with pancetta. All three are highly recommended as well as the squash flowers lightly sauteed. This place is the match for any NYC restaurant. read more

Had a wonderful evening at Aroma Osteria. Try the Spritz and Giggles drink. Arancini and sausage filled mushrooms to start. Gnocchi with a ragu sauce was exceptional. Pork loin medallions were perfectly cooked. The addition of sweet and spicy peppers was a special treat, and elevated the dish. Ricotta cheesecake with lemon custard sauce finished a fine meal. Gabriel could not have been more personable and attentive. Great decor and ambiance. Thank you all. read more

Been here a couple times. Food is good! A little pricey. Service is very attentive. Fancy inside. Don't have much negative to say, it doesn't wow me but it's a solid place to visit. read more

We just had a baby shower for our daughter at Aroma Osteria and what a fabulous experience it was! The food was delicious!

Based on my visit in the past- Ambiance and flavor under one beautiful roof. Behind Adams Wappingers It's a great place for date night or small groups. You pay a little bit more but the overall experience is definitely worth it. read more

A group of us went to Aroma for restaurant week. The place is lovely,nice ambience, not noisy, very pleasant surroundings. Our waitress Chloe was professional, attentive and with a lovely smile at all times. She brought us a basket of bread served cold! Went back, should have been brought warm without asking! The dipping oil was quite nice. The menu was quite nice, many choices. For starters with all had the Mozzarella with smoked prosciutto , and tomatoes, a nice tasty dish. only one of us has the Arugula with wild mushroom and shavings of Parmigiano drizzled with Olive oil, she thought the Parmegiano Reggiano was kind of missing in action !! The home made Potato Gnocchi tossed with a Pork Ragu and Parmigiano Reggiano was liked by the two people that ordered it. Ravioli filled with Maine Lobster , shrimp and Ricotta in a light cream sauce looked quite good. My grilled Black Angus Rib-Eye Steak had to go back as it was no grilled rare as ordered. The next one was perfectly season, rare and it was delicious. The rainbow trout needed a better sauce, was kind of blend. Desserts were ok, Pear cake with Gelato , was nothing to write home about. The Zeppole, served with a Chocolate and Nutella Dipping, could have been much better, if served pipping hot and the sauce a bit warmer. All in all it was ok. Compliments to our waitress Chloe , who was on top of things at all times. read more

Aroma Osteria - Fettuccine de Linguine Al Sapore Di Mare - Italian Near Me - Wappingers Falls, New York

Haven't been here in a while and was a bit nervous to try it after realizing the original Italian owners had sold it a few years ago. The food wasn't the same delicious high quality that I was used too. The service was slow and haphazard, though friendly enough. They seemed confused by a two person reservation I had made a few days earlier - couldn't seem to find it and then walked me around several dining spaces before figuring out where to seat us. The bread was cold and nothing special, the olive oil was fresh and peppery. Wine by glass offerings pretty basic and expensive for the selections. Pasta dishes were fine. The prices have gone up, but quality has gone down. It was once one of my very favorite places for authentic Italian food in the area and sadly, I'll have to find somewhere else now. Not a place I'd seek out again anytime soon. read more

Great food and great service. Owner went above and beyond for a 40 person business dinner.

Had reservations 5:00 on Saturday evening for dinner. With the heat we decided to sit inside, that was a mistake It was very noisy and with a lot of children. We placed our orders and the waitress came back saying they ran out of the eggplant parmigianlla, how does an Italian restaurant out of eggplant. I ordered the Calamari instead, it was overcooked and chewy. I ordered the lobster ravioli for my on tray that was just okay. This was the first time back in 10 years, won't be returning. read more

Still the best Italian restaurant around. Alex and his staff have the best food and service. Authentic. Menu is legendary. Took my daughters for dinner and it was tremendous!! Ate lunch there once a week for 15 years.Moved out of area. Great to be back!!! read more

Excellent! Restaurant got on my list when I was looking for places to eat while the work team was in town. Menu looked really good, but the food far exceeded my expectations. Cloey was an excellent waitress, took great care of us as was very personable. We got multiple apps and then we all tasted each other's dishes. The picky eater and vegetarian were completely satisfied so it was a huge win! read more

Delicious, Clean, Best Service! Ordered the octupus with canellini beans & arancini balls for appetizer! One word: A-MA-ZING! Such flavor and cooked to perfection. Then again I can say that for the rest of the night dining here. For entrees: chicken piccata & cavetelli with pancetta in a red sauce! Desert was affogato & ricotta cheesecake. Everything was amazing & our waiter was the same from last time, still remaining professional & fast with serving us! Drinks were also great!! I had a glass of the sauvighnon blanc while my boyfriend had Buffalo Trace. read more

Food was very good. Haven't been there in many years and glad to have gone back. Definitely recommend it. Little noisy in the main area but worth it. read more

We passed by Aroma often going to Adams and finally decided to give it a try. My only complaint? We didn't come here sooner! The waiter bragged on the steak being their best dish. I normally have steak but let my wife have the steak and I had the sole. The steak was amazing- crispy edges and flavorful finish prepared perfectly. Had the strawberry salad & sol was excellent. We will be back. read more

We went to Aroma to celebrate a family member's birthday. We had a large group and we made reservations ahead of time. We were seated right away when we got there in a private like room so it was nice to have the space. Our waitress was very kind and informative on what they had to offer. She was very attentive and helpful with recommendations as well. I ordered the farfalle dish with sundried tomatoes and a cream sauce and I added chicken to it. The flavor was delicious. Everyone at the table ordered different items and enjoyed what they had. I would go again. read more

The food was overall very good. Ambiance and atmosphere is pleasant. The staff and host were very welcoming Our waitress was lovely; but she had such a thick, thick accent-my partner and I both couldn't understand most of what she was saying. She was reading off reviews, not only with the thick accent, but very very fast-so it was unfortunate that we really couldn't hear what the specials were. She was, otherwise a wonderful server. Friendly, competent, attentive, and professional. I wish they'd switch out the truffle aioli on the carpaccio, with a good quality olive oil. The profiterole dessert was awful. I requested chocolate on the side. They were dry, and there was maybe a Teaspoon of gelato in each one. I didn't eat them-the owner did not take them off the bill. Told me if I had them with the chocolate on them it wouldn't be dry. He kept offering other things. I wasn't interested in anything else. Seems he could have easily removed a $12 item from our bill. It was stale and inedible. That would be reason enough not to return. It's poor business. Anytime I've ever had an issue at a restaurant, they've not hesitated to take it off the bill. Anyways, rant over. Pasta dishes were nice. Menu has lots of nice options. read more

There is nothing better than a warm and delicious Italian meal on a cold night. I was in the area with friends. Other than the wonderful meal and the warm atmosphere, what it special was the service. Due to a variety of circumstances, we kept pushing back the reservation. The staff was attentive, professional, and courteous. Though we got there later than expected, we were not pushed out or forced to shovel our meal down our throats. It was a wonderful experience. I would seriously consider going back next time I am in the area. read more

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. read more

I remember coming here as a teenager and being very impressed - fast forward to the present day and I could honestly sum Aroma Osteria up in two words "fake fancy"... Its almost like they try so hard here to be high class that it takes away from the restaurant. Let me explain... I came here with my girlfriend as she was in the mood for Italian food that evening. Outside is very nice, although it is hidden from rt 9 - tucked along side a car dealership and Mavis tires. Staff dress in white shirts and black pants but look mostly messy, where the host dressed like he was Ricky Martin (quite odd). We sat outside under a canopy of rubber grape vines. This along side the sound of cars racing up and down rt 9 really made you feel like you were in Italy! Our waitress was not in the mood to be at work that evening, and mispronounced a few ingredients off of the specials list she read from. We attempted to order apps and wine to start, but we're quickly told that is against the rules here and we're forced to order all the food at once. When we asked her for a wine suggestion she appeared to be confused and said "a lot of people get this"... Well "this" turned out to be a $51 bottle of red wine-like vinegar. Rice balls were delicious for an appetizer. My dinner, squid ink pasta with seafood was alright... something you could get at any good pizzeria. The highlight of the meal was absolutely desert though. Two cappuccinos and affogato were the best choice we made all night. Overall I honestly do not see myself coming back, food was just ok at best, and service was lousy. They would really have to change some things around for me to visit again. Hopefully if you decide to come, you have a better experience. read more

I have been wanting to try this place since I moved here a couple of months! The food was excellent and the atmosphere made me feel like I was back in Italy! Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. The only reason I did not give the place 5 stars is because the service was slow and we were a large group. Our group sat us in the corner of the restaurant and if someone had to use the bathroom five people would have to get up and the table was too small for us. read more

For an upscale restaurant the person at the host stand was extremely unprofessional. We walked in and she was enjoying an apple. Her mouth was completely full. It was off putting, unappetizing and unprofessional. I would say it took a few moments for her to even greet us due to her complete focus on her little snack. Our server provided impeccable service to our table. She was very attentive and completely genuine. The drinks were phenomenal. The food was deliciou. 5 Stars for our server! Overall the only damper on our experience was the older woman at the front. Not sure if she is hard of hearing or just lacks customer service skills. read more

Party was three hours. We were rushed out during opening of presents. Who does that?? Portions were small. Lady that ran the place was nasty. read more

I wanted to love this restaurant, but the staff made it very hard. My recent experience was incredibly disappointing. I came to Aroma for my little sisters 25th Bday with a group of 15. Due to an accident en route, the guest of honor and I were 25 mins late for a 5pm reservation . Despite the rest of the group already being there, seated, and orders in, we were rushed from the moment we met the rest of the party. Our server seemed frenzied with frenetic energy and demanded orders with an explanation that there was another party after us and we needed to get started. Initially I understood the need to get things moving along, but the rush never ended. We made the best of it, ignoring this obvious sense of annoyance. We enjoyed the food which is the reason for the two stars. The menu is limited but they've perfected them. Everyone enjoyed their food. The cocktail were on the sweeter side, so we all ended sticking to wine and beers after the first round. The ambiance is the typical elegant Italian vibe, but the hustling staff is hard to ignore. The bill included the 18% auto-gratuity, which is standard for the large group. Id say look somewhere else if you're looking to have a celebratory dinner with good vibes and no sense or turning a table over despite the restaurant being empty. read more

My wife and I have not been out to a restaurant in many months due to the Covid epidemic. We decided to take a flyer on Aroma, and drove up from New Jersey. We've been there five or six times over the years and the food was always excellent. We've been to Italy seven or eight times in my wife is Italian, so we know good Italian food when we have it. Their pasta is out of this world and all the other dishes we'be tried have been very very good. Anyhow we timed our dinner for 4 PM when they open on a Sunday to avoid nearby tables. We basically had the entire room to herself. The staff was all masked and very careful and courteous, so we felt very safe. Definitely worth the drive. read more
