Ristorante Aroma at Palazzo Manfredi In Roma

Both the service and the location are truly spectacular, but the food leaves a lot to be desired. It's nowhere near the level of a place of this calibre. But the views and service are worth it.

Food was decent, not something I was wowed by. Service was good . 2 adults and an 8 year old boy , bill with tip was $850 dollars. What was really disappointing is that my son couldn’t take his pasta to go. He’s menu came with 2 different dishes , and at 150 dollars for a child he child be able to take his food to go . View was nice , but not like the show on their pictures . For dinner it is enclosed glass and you get a lot of light reflecting off the windows. If there was and outdoor open terrace no one mentioned. Over all kinda disappointing.

The restaurant has an incredible view & which allowed me to live one of the most beautiful culinary experiences. Special mention to the caring team (Massimo & Alessandro to name a few!)

Wonderful dinner - dishes prepared and executed to perfection - great welcome and extraordinary location

It was a very pleasant experience. The staff was very helpful and the restaurant is very kid friendly. We had the tasting menu with wine pairing. Special mention to Massimo who made every effort to engage with the children and was very friendly.

My husband and I ate at the Aroma Restaurant. The view is simply wonderful, a beautiful experience, admiring the Colosseum, even if we live in Rome it is always beautiful. Panorama aside, there were some things that in our opinion, given the level of the restaurant, should be revised a bit. We don't like the fact of the double shift, there is an extremely high mark-up on the wine list, the location itself is not beautiful (obviously excluding the view). The food is good, but again given the level of the restaurant I expected something more. It is a Michelin star restaurant, with a purely tourist vocation.

Excellent tasting with a view of the Colosseum. Well prepared and presented dishes, interesting wine pairings and the sommelier's proposals

A spectacular place, the experience, although expensive, is very memorable! If you have the opportunity to attend, preferably do so at night to enjoy the illuminated coliseum!

The utterly stunning view makes the evening worth it, but the rest could be a lot better. We were dead set on this restaurant for the Colosseum view, which was indeed breathtakingly spectacular. And the food was also very good and quite creative. However, the reservation experience was a shambolic nightmare (even with direct intervention by our hotel and two long-distance calls by me). We also found the service pretentious at the apex but very good with the "seconds". Pricing was high and the portions small, as reported elsewhere. But you knew you were someplace special, the evening was a treat, and we did not regret going.

On a recent trip to Rome, our family booked Aroma for myself and my wife. A Michelin star is a good start. I think they have about 20 tables, and we had one with fantastic views of the Colosseum, all tables do have a view. We chose the Signature tasting menu. We seriously enjoyed it. In addition the chef sent out some nibbles at the start which were exquisite. A lentil type soup and a selection of delicious breads were provided which were not on the menu. All of the main courses were faultless. Presentation was 100%. Recognition of my wife’s birthday was nice, I noticed about 3 guests occasions being celebrated also. A small gift from the chef on departure was a nice touch. We spent almost 3 very enjoyable hours here. The cost of dining in such establishments is increasing to a ridiculous level. But if you are here, you can obviously afford it. For us it was a special treat for a special occasion. However the price of some add-ons are questionable. The first interaction when we sat down was the production of the Aperitif menu, with prices of a small glass, very small, of champagne at €35 each. The cheapest bottle of wine was €95 I think, they did have a good choice. A bottle of water at €10 is ridiculous. In summary, we had a fantastic meal. The staff were all friendly and attentive, without being on top of us all night. If you are happy to spend €300+ each, you will not be disappointed.
