Went to aroma on suggestion, with picky clients. The whole evening went fantastic - best Italian food in a long time, great venue (not too big, very well designed, better reserve in advance), wonderful, personal and attentive service, ALL food made right there by the chef, down to the incredible desserts. Came back with a different group right next evening.... More

Tried this restaurant based on Tripadvisor reviews together with a friend. I had the oven baked aubergine and was disappointed that it had been overcooked. My friend had a pasta dish which was very nice. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very good and the service was good.

We went to Aroma in April during our visit in Basel. I love the atmosphere as it is a small restaurant with around 8 tables. People are nice. We tried various appetizers and hand-made spaghetti. It is delicious!!! I must go Aroma again when I have chance to visit Basel again.

I often go to Basel for work, and I generally avoid italian restaurants when I travel abroad. I found aroma by chance, and it has been a real surprise! Actually it is a roman cuisine, with special tipical dishes. They make their own pasta, and the quality is evident. The owner and weiters are really nice and kind. Definitely a... More

The special literally made our jaws drop. Great food and really worth all the other good reviews. We got a bottle of wine and drank the night away eating probably one of the best Italian food in Switzerland. A++

Unfussy, delicious, italian food and wonderful service. Real Italian food is never over wrought. Simple, pure, tasty, quality ingredients. Exemplified by the antipasti--vegetables in a variety of forms--all delicious. The whole wheat ravioli with porcini were delicate and cooked with just the right amount of butter. Fish special was perfectly cooked and properly seasoned. Ricotta Pear torte not too sweet,... More

The food was delicious and the service excellent. Definately worth a visit if you are in Basel and want a special meal. Stefano, the owner, was very attentive and guided us through the menu and helped us select the food and wine. Wish I could go there every week!
