Aromas de Itália — Restaurant in Funchal

Sure! Here's a personal review of my experience at Aromas de Italia:

I recently had the opportunity to dine at Aromas de Italia, and unfortunately, it was not a pleasant experience. I had heard great things about this Italian restaurant, so I was excited to try it out. However, my visit left me feeling disappointed and frustrated.

One of the main reasons for my disappointment was the false advertising of their crab ravioli. The menu clearly stated that the ravioli was made with real crab meat, but to my dismay, it turned out to be made with synthetic crab or seafood sticks. As a seafood lover, I was really looking forward to enjoying a dish made with fresh and authentic ingredients. The fact that they would mislead their customers in this way is truly disappointing.

To make matters worse, when I brought this issue to the attention of the staff, they were incredibly unprofessional and confrontational. Instead of acknowledging their mistake and offering a solution, they tried to force me to pay for the dish. When I refused, they criticized me and even threatened to involve the police. This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable and shows a lack of respect for their customers.

Overall, my experience at Aromas de Italia was far from enjoyable. The false advertising and poor customer service left a sour taste in my mouth. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic and pleasant...

This is a respectful call to the restaurant owners to consider that the food especially the Meat needs to be seasoned before cooking because otherwise it ruins the taste of the dish. My chicken was not seasoned at all, tasted bland to the risotto and spoiled what could have a been a great gastronomical experience. Also another thing, since the chicken is cooked in a pan, please be careful because the chicken can easily form a stiff crust due to the high heat used, and mine did and was very stiff and...

The biggest disappointment.

I found this restaurant just passing by, hoped it would be good because they were making pasta themselves.

As for food: they didn’t have salads at all. For someone who is trying to eat healthy, definitely not recommended. Carpaccio was a bit poor: only Parmesan cheese and cherry tomatoes on top. Usually it goes with arugula at least. Shrimps were not clear (they had this dirt inside). Fusilli pollo 3/5. Not bad but not great as well. Waiting time for the pasta - 40.

We paid 40+ euros for bad experience. Definitely will never come back. Not...
