Aroma di Roma Centro

Bomb! I love this place. I had the Uova Benebetto. My friends had the Breakfast Buschetta. Mmmmmm

Alright, I have to be honest, when they first move into our office building, I was like «The price seem very high.» Well, I avoided this place like the plaque when it first arrived, but after time passed, I got stuck for lunch and needed to eat. I went down stairs and looked at the menu. I order the vegetarian eggplant panini (verdur) and a caramel mach coffee. Man, what the hell was I thinking when I avoided this place, that freakin sandwich was out of this world. I loved the sandwich, but not the coffee so much. I think the coffee is the actual way Italian coffee is suppose to taste, but I didn’t enjoy it that much. The service is great and the food is great, but I am use to Coffee Bean and Starbuck French Roast coffees.

I work in the building and it’s so great to have an upscale place like this where you can just drop in and get a great coffee or a lunch that’s not crappy take out. People who work here are so great. Friendly, well-​trained staff knows all the food on the menu, ask them questions about a sandwich or a scone or a juice and they know about it. (The pumpkin scone and the chicken pesto sandwich are awesome, btw.)
The only cons: (1) a touch expensive to do more than once or twice a week. Bought half a dozen cookies or pastries for a last minute client visit in my office and it was damn near $ 30. They were lovely and tasted terrific but spendy. (2) I wish they were open past 3pm but I totally get why they close when they do.
Love this place! So glad they’re open.

LOVE this place! Great Atmosphere, friendly staff & trendy vibe! The food is beyond delicious & the coffee is excellent :)

I am impressed with the staff. And Diego — cooking up all that yummy food is great at it! The price is worth it for good food and good service. The Caprese is so good. Try the «Sexy Bagel» you will not be disappointed. And the coffee is excellent! I adore the staff. We are becoming friends. Hope that everyone at 444 will enjoy this wonderful café. Life is good,

Ok, second visit and time for a review!
The Place:
the building has been newly renovated, super cute Mad Men Feel all throughout and the café goes with. We have our offices here in the building so we are very happy to have such a fresh and trendy place to take our clients for coffee. The café obviously strives to set themselves apart from the so-​called competition around here and they’ve done wonderfully –KUDOS! The patio is IDEAL in the mornings! just a gorgeous peaceful view! The staff is friendly and informative, kind to make suggestions and not rushing anyone to already know what they want, lucky for me because I read everything on the menu –TWICE before deciding!
The Lattes:
between my husband and I, so far we have thoroughly enjoyed the:
«filthy Vanilla Chai Latte”/His, «Filthy Pumpkin Chai Latte”/ Mine, Vanilla Chai Latte/​Me Today!
Oh My, Oh My, we like our Chai and I HAVE to say, So GOOD. SO VERY GOOD. I’ve spent quite a few «BUCKS» (hint hint) on other chai Lattes that were watery and and just not savory. Aroma Di Roma (ADR) has what is the creamiest most flavorful Chai Latte I’ve ever had. I was so pleased and savored every last drop. Now THAT, I am willing to spend the $ 3 on! (give or take some change)
The Food:
just had their sexy breakfast panini w/​bacon and SO GOOD! –can we just take a moment here to appreciate all the «filthy» «sexiness» going on at this place?! I am a morning person myself, but I’ll bet that even if you AREN’T –the playful vibe here is bound to get you feeling more delicious before you even take your first sip. Just sayin.
Back to the food, the panini was so yum and without the obvious huge slab of cheese that they could have added for a salty punch but would have had me sluggish and sleepy by 9am. Nope, not this panini. they opted for flavor from Fresh tomato, basil, olive oil. I mean, complex flavors that complimented each other so well AND still felt light and refreshing. Fuelled me up for my Thursday morning. Was it cheap –NAH! $ 10 about, but my husband and I split it and I’d say the panini was about twice the size of the hot sandwiches I’ve had at my beloved starbucks so… again, you’re either willing to spend that or you’re not. –no judgement. ^_​^
Looking over the menu, I’m really thrilled to have a refreshing new option to get away from the basic SUB places I’m surrounded by down here! (don’t get me wrong, Mike’s way and a Coke gets me through a long day for sure!) but somedays, a girl needs some heirloom tomatoes, mozzarella and balsamic… mmmmm.
So here’s the thing, Aroma Di Roma seems to be trying to step it up and offer a little more ‘fancy’ –dare I say ‘sexy’?-to your weekday and I’m thankful for that. I don’t think they’re trying to compete with anything else around, it’s like they’re saying… if you’re tired of that stuff, check us out…
…and you SHOULD! –you’ll likely see me there!
PS. RUMOR HAS IT — they’ll be serving beer and wine soon. Uhm, yes please! what’s sexier than THAT?!

Incredible coffee and pastries, so glad that they’ve opened up in this building. Definitely coming here for lunch everyday, the Prosciutto Mozerella Panini … WOAH.

Food is decent, but way overpriced. For a ten dollar sandwich you get no sides. Former restaurant at this location gave you a decent sandwich and kettle chips for under ten bucks and they went out of business. I don’t believe this restaurant will last very long at this location.

Hasn’t even opened yet and it’s amazing! If it’s anything like the Aroma on 2^nd then you can’t be anything but thankful that you’ve stumbled upon this incredible extraordinaire café!
