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!

I went there for a big group work dinner. We ordered a big mixed starter platter which came with both hot and cold starters. Buffaro mozzalela, mushrooms, hams etc etc - all were great. And I really loved the experience of being able to try many different things (probably more than 10 kinds of things on the platter) Also service... More

Found it on TA and we were not disappointed. Small but thoughtful menu, very well prepared, tasty food - maybe slightly heavy on the salt for M. Small but again high class, not over expensive, wine list (for the locale). Lovely atmosphere, people enjoying food, wine and conversation. Service attentive, cheerful without in any way being overbearing or pushy. Great... More
