Trattoria Aroma — Restaurant in Helsinki sub-region

The restaurant looks authentic and as a fan of Italian cuisine, my expectations were high. We ordered two times antipasto selection and two truffle risottos.

We did not get antipasto selections, but bruschettas. We mentioned this to the waiting staff but got no reaction whatsoever. As we both like bruschettas, this was not a huge deal. Unfortunately the bread was cold.

As for the second course, it was not a truffle risotto but champion risotto with truffle oil, which was naturally a disappointment. The risotto was well overcooked and had a consistancy of a soft porrige. It was safe to say that we did not stay for any dolce.

During our stay, there had been somekind of a misfortune in the kichen and the whole front of the restaurant smelled like burnt pancetta/guanciale. The smell had sticked to our winter coats.

A new restaurant gets away with a mistake or two, but all together the dinner was a huge disappointment. Fortunately there was nothing wrong with the wine and the place is easy on the pocket. The oven looks proper and maybe we'll give Trattoria Aroma another change as a pizzeria sometime...

I had an incredible experience at this Italian restaurant! From the moment I stepped in, I was captivated by the warm and inviting ambiance. The cozy decor and soothing music set the perfect tone for a memorable evening.

The food was nothing short of exquisite. Every dish we ordered was bursting with flavor and made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the sauces were heavenly. I can't stop thinking about the delicious flavors that danced on my taste buds.

The staff here is exceptionally friendly and attentive. They went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and catered to our every need. It's clear that they are passionate about providing top-notch service.

I highly recommend trying their signature dishes – you won't be disappointed. This restaurant has become my go-to place for Italian cuisine. I can't wait to return and savor more of their delectable offerings. Bravo to the entire team for creating such a fantastic dining experience!

Thank you for a wonderful evening, and I look forward to...

Great waiters and nice atmosphere.

They don't have a door between kitchens so staff is walking constantly through the dining area. Restaurant was cold.

Salmon Carpaccio tasted like christmass-style herring.

Antipasto plate was very simple, a common tapas box from super market would have been more nice.

Risotto was way overdone, more like a porrige. Huge pile of rice with a few scampi. Left feeling like it was made yesterday.

Frutti di mare pasta was obviously made with a storebought mix. The pasta had SURIMI for god's sake. I also have no idea how they made the pasta taste so bitter.

We had plans to get dessert and decided to leave instead.

Wine was good and reasonably priced.

Really hope they will step up with the quality of food in the future. Unfortunately would never recommend for a friend at...
