Aromi

14/20Updated September 24, 2026,first published November 18, 2024For prosecco at brunch and primo pastas at night.At Aromi, ebullient greetings and the rhythm of a cocktail shaker beckon, while its glamorous digs are prinked with blue velvet drapes and a sunset glow of backlit Aperol bottles. Neat little starter snacks set the tone: pillowy, mozzarella-filled gnocco frito swaddled in capocollo, for example.A share-friendly tumble of fried calamari, school prawns, whitebait and zucchini follow. A tight offering of meaty mains is there, but house-made pasta steals the show. Ruby-hued beetroot fettuccine is rich yet bright, the ribbons flecked with nubs of pork and fennel sausage and neat cubes of beetroot.Luxurious bucatini bathes in a deep, mellow tomato veloute studded with pearly pieces of crayfish. Tiramisu, a refreshingly light take on the traditional, is presented with a flourish of cascading zabaglione that completes the Italian fantasy. Good to know: There’s a bottomless brunch (a main and unlimited spritzes) every Sunday.Good Food reviews are booked anonymously and paid independently.
