Aroma Italian Restaurant - Okotoks

I don’t know where to begin. We stood at the front for 4-5 minutes before anyone appeared and were instructed to sit anywhere. We had to pass over 6 tables as they clearly hadn’t been wiped down, we chose the table with the least mess. It took a good 10 minutes to place our order and then we awaited our drinks. Lukewarm coffee and “hot chocolate” and then waited another 5 minutes for cream and sugar. The wife had to ask for her drink a second time. We were the only patrons so there was no excuse for poor service. At the time we received our drinks, two other groups arrived. One group got tired of waiting and left, the other received their meal long before we got ours. The pizza and lasagna were acceptable but my calzone got a few bites and I had lost my appetite. Between the flies, the unique music mix of country and hip-hop and the arctic temperatures it was not a very comfortable environment. Do yourself a favour and go to McDonald’s.

Not my favorite place for sure. Food was OK, nothing special at all. I think I make better Italian to be honest. Probably won’t go back.

That horrible review is not what we experienced at all. This is the 3rd time my husband ordered the Linguine Tottomare and it was great huge Scallops, Shrimp, and Mussels. Best he has had. My Veal was tender and the pasta was great. Would recommenf it to friends..

We were a group of five including six year old twins. I ordered the gnocchi Gorgonzola and it was excellent. The shared appetizers and desserts were good as well. They have a kids menu. We expect to visit this restaurant again in the future.

Supper was most disappointing. Seated quickly but waited forever to place drink order. The spaghetti and meatballs was nasty. Sauce so bland and meatballs tasted like old reheated meat. No seasoning what so ever.
