AROMA in Basel

10 women lunched at this restaurant enjoying each other's company. The food and service were great.

Very friendly and competent service, excellent food, but beware: let them know if you prefer your steak, otherwise it arrives "bleu". The atmosphere is rather cold.

Wir waren das 2. Mal da, delicious food and very kind service!

WOW! I haven't had a great tuna steak in a while and the food on the menu was absolutely awesome! And, the service exceeded the food to make the overall dining experience A+++++!! Do yourself a favor and stop in at Aroma Restaurant and enjoy the service of the Host Mr. Ercan Keser. As a customer he makes you feel as though your his special guest and that he has known you for years! We happened to stop in after searching google for the best restaurants in Basel. So, glad we went.....in fact I was so pleased that I went back the next day for lunch and received the same excellent treatment! In fact, it was better, as he made me feel like a regular even remembering my name and what I liked!!! Again, do yourself a favor and take the time to dine at Aroma and tell Mr. Ercan Keser, Robbie sent you!!!!!

Visit to Aroma Basel From the moment we entered Aroma Restaurant we were captured by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The location of the restaurant is good – a perfect starting point for a relaxing evening. The menu offered an impressive selection of dishes, all of which sounded tempting. Each dish was a work of art in itself, not only visually appealing but also exquisite in taste. The ingredients seemed to be of the highest quality and the flavors were perfectly balanced. Another highlight was the friendly and attentive service. The staff was very accommodating and made sure we didn't lack for anything. In summary, the Aroma restaurant in Basel is an absolute must for every foodie.

Very, very tasty Italian food. Very courteous service!

On the eve of the Basel marathon, I go to fill up on carbohydrates in this restaurant located in the heart of Basel. For obvious reasons I wasn't able to try a great variety of dishes, but the spaghetti alla chitarre cacio e pepe was really excellent: perfectly cooked and the pasta still had the taste of egg, typical of homemade pasta.

The food was excellent, the service was very attentive and friendly, the espresso was perfect. Gladly again and again!

Authentic Italian cuisine. Wonderful service, kind and efficient. I enjoyed a wonderful evening with my partner. Not necessarily priced for a daily visit, but the price is undoubtedly justified by the quality. My lamb was wonderfully tender and tasted delicious. The portions will fill you up. The tiramisu for dessert was also very tasty. I've been to aroma a few times over the years and every time it's been excellent. Thank you for the lovely evening and see you soon!

excellent quality, attentive, warm support, good price/performance ratio, real Italian atmosphere

We crowned a beautiful day in Basel with a wonderful menu. First a delicious pulpo, then tagliata or pappardelle with lamb ragout and finally a semifredo. Everything tasted wonderful. And all of this with very nice and attentive service. Again any time!

Very cozy atmosphere and the food tastes great

Excellent food, great non-intrusive service. I'll come back when I'm back in Basel.

the food was great, as was the service. Gladly again

The food was fresh and finely prepared.

Ideal for a weekday lunch on a quiet side street to have conversations and enjoy an original Italian meal. Service with Italian charm. Was there as soon as we sat down. Enough time to study the menu but not too much time to be able to order quickly.

A true gastronomic discovery in the city: delicious dishes, prepared with care, in an environment that combines modernity and warmth. Classy service. Absolutely worth trying.

Extremely friendly service. Food was very tasteful. I felt very well.

Sempre un piacere! Delicious & fresh dishes, attentive service, welcoming & warm atmosphere! Enjoying lunch outside is delightful, a mini trip to Italy :). Tanto grazie Aroma!

Very good food and good wines. The cuisine is truly Italian and not just Italian-esque. The service was very good and so was the white wine from Etna.

Good Italian cuisine, extremely friendly hosts and dogs are also welcome here!

Food was incredibly salt have never tasted that salt, calamares very small cut and saltibocca with simple vegetables. I can understand why the place was almost empty...

The appetizers and fish recommended by the manager are really delicious😋

Quality perfect, service good. Best enjoyed during the week (Tues-Fri) if you're looking for the best value for your money.

This is the second time we have been to the Aroma restaurant and we are very impressed. The flexibility to offer different antipasti for 7 people, the main courses were all fantastic and the wine and Prosecco recommendation was excellent. The exceptionally friendly service should also be highlighted. We'll definitely be back!

As always, excellent, personal and high quality. Thanks for the fantastic evening!

The food was very delicious and the service was brilliant!!! I really enjoyed our evening at Aroma. Thank you very much!

High quality food, friendly and charming service team and great ambience. What more do you want.

The Aroma restaurant is a real treat for all the senses. The dishes are prepared with great attention to detail and the flavor combinations are simply exquisite. The atmosphere is very inviting and the staff is extremely friendly and attentive. Overall, an excellent choice for a dining experience.

La vera cucina romana! Very friendly, courteous staff, delicious food in a relaxed atmosphere, what more could you want?

Was a great evening. We really enjoy going there.

Very nice service (German/Italian speaking), quality of the food absolutely excellent! The quantity is good, but could be a little more (it's not French haute cuisine...)

Very good and authentic Italian cuisine. Very attentive and friendly service, with very good advice on food and wine. The owner is also very nice and friendly, you immediately feel very comfortable at Aroma. Personally, I don't like the decor that much because it seems bare and cold, the beautiful Italian charm is a bit missing.

Too expensive for the portion size (literally just 15 pieces of penne for a pasta that costs 20+€) . Very less vegetarian options. Although the taste and atmosphere was good.

Christmas dinner from December 16th, 2022 (Friday) at 7 p.m.: Very cozy atmosphere. Well visited. Reservation highly recommended. Clear menu. High price level. Selected dishes of excellent quality and very tasty. Portions sufficient. Pasta really al dente al dente. All dishes are lightly seasoned. Half portions also possible. Tiramisu as dessert was finally a tiramisu with real mascarpone. Enjoyed very tasty Sicilian wine with the main course. After dessert we enjoyed espresso, grappa and limoncello. Everything just as excellent. Particularly recommended: extremely tasty limoncello in an ice-cold glass. Particularly worth mentioning is the extremely attentive and very friendly staff.

Friendly service, good wines but dishes too expensive given the content, quality and presentation.

Very good meat, average service and toppings

Great food and fresh. Friendly service. Gladly again. grace

Great Italian restaurant with phenomenal service and excellent delicious food Dinner, great wine.

Typically Italian, very good quality, fast service and reasonable prices for Basel! The wine list has enough choices and the coffee was “real” Italian👍👌

Tasty and good service. Good outdoor sitting weather permitting. Recommended.

Very, very friendly & personable service! Food is delicious, authentic… but portions could be a bit larger for the prices.

Way too expensive for what you get. Still hungry after eating and paid over 100 for 2 people I expected more Water bottle with gas 9.50, can this cure cancer????

A fantastic Italian restaurant. Thank you for the friendly and very cheerful service. I'm looking forward to the next visit!

Best carbonara around. In terms of quantity - there could be more. Thanks

Great service, tasty dishes, recommended!

Pleasant staff, real authentic experience due to the atmosphere and the fact that pretty much the whole team was unable to speak german. This somehow improved the authecity was on the other hand a sign of unsuccesful integration on side of the restaurant and its employees. I‘d consider it sweet and sympathic when a waiter would try talking in german. But thats just me. The food was good and fairly priced for its quality.

The food was ok. Nothing special... I've eaten better for less money.

We are happy to have such a good Italian in our neighborhood. Great service, good food and great wine list. Price - performance is right.

Good food and service. Nice ambience. Prices ok.

Nothing to write home about. Location is nice, service was slow. Food was ok, lack of vegetarian options. Old fashioned.

A bit on the expensive side for what you get

Had lunch here. Food was delicious and service was great. Would love to come back to try other dishes!

Cold, sterile, overpriced and very clear portions does not automatically mean classy.

Excellent! Both the flavors that recall the beauty of a family table in Italy and the people who worked there that evening, everything was perfect, we recommend it!

Great Italian food and service!

Friendly and charismatic owner. Delicious food. Home-made bread, excellent choice of wine. Every time a great experience. Easy 5 stars, can only recommend this restaurant.

Vera cucina italiana, sia il proprietario che il personale molto cordiali, mai mangiato un guanciale di vitello così buono!!! Top

...die Zubereitungen sind immer saisonal und wie oben erwähnt frisch. Auf dem ersten Blick ersichtlich und immer auch ein Augenschmauss. Dem Koch Denis und seiner Mannschaft gelingt es immer wieder aus einem Mahl ein Festmahl herzuzaubern, unglaublich. Die Kreationen sind immer wieder spannend, ob Fisch, Fleisch oder die selbstgemachten Teigwaren. Das Dessert rundet das Ganze wieder herrlich ab. Der Geschäftsführer, ebenfalls Denis, und sein Servicepersonal harmoniert grossartig miteinander und man fühlt sich wirklich sehr wohl in dieser Atmosphäre. Ich habe dieses Restaurant am ersten Tag (April 2020) nach dem ersten Lockdown kennengelernt und war fasziniert. In der Zwischenzeit war ich sicherlich 30 Mal dort essen (mit Freunden, Geschäftleuten und Familie.....)

Empfangen wie bei Freunden. Das Lokal ist sehr schön, elegant und sauber Eingerichtet.Der Service und das Essen lassen keine Wünsche Offen.Man fühlt sich von der ersten Minute sehr Wohl, das ist Italien. Sehr gutes Essen, gute Weine und Aperos.Wir kommen sehr gerne Wieder.Besucht das Lokal ihr werdet es auch Lieben!

Ho mangiato un’ottima fetta di carne, tenera saporita e ben cotta.La mia amica invece dei ravioli di pesce e il mio amico spaghetti sempre di mare.Ci tornerò sicuramente per provare la pasta, che è sempre la mia scelta.Solo il servizio un po’ lento, considerando che eravamo in 8 in tutto il locale, ma il padrone di casa di una gentilezza davvero impeccabile.Bis Balt

Utterly delicious antipasti, fresh fish, wine and dessert, one of the best Italian meals I have ever had. Attentive and pleasant service too.

Una de las mejores comidas italianas que he tenido, ¡y he tenido algunas!Empezamos con una muy buena copa de blanco y una excelente cerveza de Sicilia, con una excelente focaccia integral casera. La camarera era encantadora, atenta y amable.A continuación, elegimos el antipasti para dos y el pescado del día, lubina al horno, acompañado de una botella de verdicchio.Los antipasti eran perfectos, incluido el mejor arancini que he comido.La lubina era enorme y cocinada a la perfección, simplemente en aceite de oliva con aceitunas y limón, servida con excelentes patatas y verduras. El vedicchio era para morirse.No pude resistirme a un postre de cannoli con ricotta.Todo fue perfecto.La factura no era barata, pero valía la pena cada centavo. Lo recomendaría y volvería en un santiamén.

Super Restaurant in the city of Basel. Food is excellent, same with the wine. Very nice personal. Must go if you're in the area.

Amazing food! Dessert was out of this world

Wir waren mit unserem Club (alfistibasel.ch) dort. Reservierung hat online super funktioniert. Das Lokal hat ein tolles Ambiente und das Personal ist super freundlich. Es gab sogar Nachschlag für uns Italiener. Kann ich nur empfehlen. Gerne wieder. Danke!

Endlich können wir wieder in diesem wunderbaren Restaurant essen! Wer ein ECHTES italienisches Restaurant sucht, mit römischen Speisen, modern und dennoch unglaublich herzlich, der ist hier richtig.- Die Vorspeisen sind grandios, man muss nicht immer den Mozzarella Salat essen, es gibt herrliche Bruschetta und auch sonst ist man bestens beraten, Mir gefällt der Fisch, für zwei am Tisch filetiert und auch das Fleisch. Die Beilagen....magnifico!Platz lassen für ein Dessert!Dazu ein Glas Wein..oder Keines...und auch dieses Jahr ...ein Stück Italien!Unbedingt reservieren. Im hinteren Teil ist es ruhiger..oder..im Höfli!Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Sehr gutes Essen - guter Service - sympathisches Ambiente

Siamo stati in questo accogliente ristorante al centro di Basilea per una cena di compleanno di 11 persone e siamo stati davvero tanto bene! Il tavolo grande e spazioso ci ha permesso di festeggiare al meglio. Il servizio da parte di Denis e staff è stato attento e dinamico. È stato un percorso gastronomico molto buono, grazie allo chef di cucina Denis e il suo team molto disponibile. Possiamo solo consigliare di festeggiare o passare una serata in questo ristorante! Francesco&Giulia

Super adresse! Nous avons tant aimé que nous y sommes allés 2 fois lors de notre séjour de Bâle. De la cuisine de Rome savoureuse. Une mention toute particulière pour le beau tableau d antipasti à partager à 2 (ou 3) et pour la parmigiana. Les desserts sont par contre décevants. Un service très sympathique.

(Traducido por Google) ¡Calidad superior! 4 menús de almuerzo (ensalada, plato principal, postre) para 24, 26, 32 o 34. Pedí los ravioles de jabalí. Equilibrado, súper saborizado -> increíble. (Original) Top Qualität! 4 Mittagsmenus (Salat, Hauptgang, Dessert) für 24, 26, 32 oder 34. Ich habe die Wildschweinravioli bestellt. Ausgewogen, super abgeschmeckt --> der Hammer.

(Traducido por Google) Es difícil notar, por un lado, las ganas de hacerlo mejor con la calidad de los platos, la presentación, la variedad y la delicadeza de la cocina y por otro lado los precios. Los precios casi se podrían entender si hubiera algo en el plato, pero ahí está, por ejemplo el carpaccio de besugo y sus tres bocados con cuidado, NO, basta. Entendemos por qué está desierta, lástima que puede ser que esté la calidad, falta la cantidad, no un exceso pero para no querer hacer un bocadillo a la salida. (Original) Difficile à noter, d’un côté l’envie de mieux le faire de par la qualité des mets, la présentation, la variété et la finesse de la cuisine et d’un autre côté les prix. Les prix pourraient à la limite se comprendre s’il y avait quelque chose dans l’assiette mais alors là, par exemple le carpaccio de dorade et ses trois bouchées en faisant attention, NON, trop c’est trop. On comprend pourquoi c’est désert, dommage ça pourrait être bien la qualité étant au rendez-vous manque la quantité, pas une démesure mais de façon à ne pas avoir envie de se faire un sandwich en sortant.

(Traducido por Google) Comida encantadora, gran servicio (Original) Lovely food, great service

Un serveur Italien très sympathique et présentant les plats mais le goût n’y était pas ; un réel manque d’assaisonnement !

Zeer vriendelijk en gastvrij maar bovenal fantastisch eten. Niet goedkoop. Laat je verrassen door het dagmenu.

Très beau restaurant avec une carte assez petite mais efficace! Les plats sont bons et le serveur très aimable et à l’écoute. Par contre le service est beaucoup beaucoup trop long alors que le restaurant n’est pas plein.

(Traducido por Google) Gran servicio, comida deliciosa. Realmente recomendable !!! (Original) Super Service, leckeres Essen. Wirklich zu empfehlen!!!

(Traducido por Google) Como italiano, disfruto comiendo excelente cocina italiana con gran placer. Esto incluye vinos exquisitos que combinan bien con la comida. Recomiendo mucho el aroma. Una experiencia. (Original) Als Italiener gehe ich mit grossem Vergnügen, grosse italienische Küche essen. Dazu gehören exquisite Weine, die zum Essen passen. Aroma empfehle ich hierfür wärmstens. Ein Erlebnis.

(Traducido por Google) Las ensaladas, primi y secondi estaban bien preparadas y a juzgar por el tiempo que tuvimos que esperar, todo estaba recién preparado. Aunque el personal es extremadamente amable, el servicio no es eficiente. Una vez que te hayan servido, eso es todo. Si tiene un deseo adicional o desea pedir más agua o vino, se le presta muy poca atención. (Original) Salads, primi and secondi were all well prepared and judging by the length of time we had to wait everything was freshly cooked. Although the staff is extremely friendly service is not efficient. Once you have been served that is it. If you have an extra wish or would like to order more water or wine very little attention is paid to you.

(Traducido por Google) Encontré la oferta extremadamente comprensiva, exactamente correcta para poder tomar un postre después. Aquí obtienes ambos: servicio amable y enérgico. Mis hermanas y yo el lugar adecuado para todos los eventos sin importancia, ya sea con mi esposo, conocidos o familia. (Original) Ich fand das Gebot enorm sympathisch.Genau richtig um noch einen Nachtisch nachher verdrücken zu können.Hier erhält man sowohl als auch: freundliche und flotte Bedienung.Meine Schwestern und ich das Lokal passend für alle Veranstaltungen unwichtig ob mit Mann, Bekannten oder Familie.

(Traducido por Google) Si aprecia la comida italiana de buena calidad, este es el lugar adecuado para usted. (Original) Wer gutes qualitatives italienisches Essen schätzt, ist mit dieser Adresse am richtig Ort.

Wie jedes Mal auch heute wieder perfekt! Hier stimmt alles: Ambiente, Essen und Bedienung. Ich war das 4. Mal hier, und war jedes Mal restlos zufrieden.

Dîner à deux dans la jolie cour arrière paisible. Cuisine excellente. Très beau choix d’antipasti, primi et secondi piatti. On se croirait vraiment en Italie. Le loup de mer en papillote était particulièrement délicieux. Superbe carte des vins et conseils avisés du serveur. Service distingué et agréable. À visiter sans hésitation.

Mi trovavo di passaggio e non avevo mai notato questo delizioso locale dagli interni ben curati, ma soprattutto da un personale assolutamente cordiale, preparato e professionale. Ottima selezione di vini, nella mia indecisione il direttore di sala mi ha saputo consigliare alla perfezione l'abbinamento per le pietanze che avevo scelto. Delizioso il carpaccio di tonno con cetrioli veramente di ottima qualità e anche una bella presentazione! Come secondo ho preso una zuppa di pesce con crostini di pane buonissima!!Ed infine per concludere in bellezza un sorbetto di fragole cocco e malibu con fragole fresche. Nel complesso un ottima qualità fanno dei piatti piu semplici i migliori. Grazie mille per la sosta non prevista tornerò sicuramente!

(Traducido por Google) Estaba de paso y nunca había notado este lugar encantador con interiores bien cuidados, pero sobre todo por un personal absolutamente amable, preparado y profesional. Excelente selección de vinos, en mi indecisión, el gerente de la sala pudo aconsejarme perfectamente sobre el maridaje de los platos que había elegido. Delicioso el carpaccio de atún con pepinos de muy buena calidad y también una buena presentación. Como segundo plato tuve una sopa de pescado con deliciosos picatostes !! Y finalmente para terminar con un sorbete de fresa de coco y malibu con fresas frescas. En general, una excelente calidad hace que los mejores platos sean los más simples. Muchas gracias por la parada inesperada ¡Definitivamente regresaré!

(Traducido por Google) La comida fue excelente. Para el postre estaba Canolli, el mejor que he comido. (Original) Essen war vorzüglich. Zum Dessert gab's Canolli, die besten die ich je gegessen habe.

(Traducido por Google) Excelente y auténtica cocina italiana. ¡Todo en su máxima expresión! (Original) Ausgezeichnete und autentische italienische Küche. Alles vom feinsten!

Gutes Ambiente und Service, begrenzte Speisekarte, aber mit sehr hoher Qualität. Vorspeisen, Pasta und Fleisch waren großartig. Meiner Meinung nach etwas überteuert.

(Traducido por Google) Simplemente fantastico. Puedo recomendarlo sin restricciones a cualquiera que le guste comer italiano. Grandes vinos y una gran selección de grappa. (Original) Einfach fantastico. Kann ich ohne Einschränkung jedem empfehlen der gerne italienisch isst. Tolle Weine und eine super Auswahl an Grappe.

Buoni i primi, pasta al dente e con ricette ben fatte, peccato le porzioni piccole, che "obbligano" a prendere un secondo e un dessert (obbligo piacevole per il palato, un po' meno per il portafoglio). La parmigiana non è buonissima, né la carne. Come dessert il tiramisù davvero buonissimo, invece la crostatina al limone e frutta la sconsiglio, poco interessante e con 4 mirtilli in croce. Servizio impeccabile e professionale, buona scelta di vini. Prezzi ok per Basilea, 70-100.- a testa.Insomma un buon ristorante italiano all'estero, non esagerato.

Sehr guter und freundlicher Service. Sehr gute und kreative Küche. Das Lokal wirkt eher etwas kühl, wohlfühlen kann man sich aber trotzdem

Absolut perfekter Ablauf vom Empfang über das Essen, Getränke bis zum Verlassen des Lokales. Immer wieder

(Traducido por Google) Muy agradable, tranquilo italiano con un personal amable, me sentí muy cómodo aquí, ¡me encantaría volver! (Original) Sehr schöner, ruhiger Italiener mit freundlichem Personal, habe mich hier sehr wohl gefühlt - komme gerne wieder!

(Traducido por Google) Desafortunadamente, la relación precio-rendimiento es incorrecta. (Original) Preis Leistung stimmt leider gar nicht.

Excellent menu options for meat, fish and vegetarian. Very good wine menu as well. Service was good, very attentive waiters. Stiff prices though.

(Traducido por Google) No solo el atento personal local fue el éxito de ventas absoluto durante nuestra visita, sino también el excelente ambiente. La selección me parece amplia y hasta ahora todo ha sabido muy bien, lo que me presentaron ante mí. ¡Solo puedo recomendar este lugar! Mis hermanas y yo, el Inn contemporáneo para todas las ocasiones, irrelevante ya sea con un amigo, conocido o clan; ). (Original) Durchaus nicht nur das aufmerksame Lokal Personal war bei unserem Besuch der absolute Renner, sondern ebenfalls das tolle Ambiente. Die Auslese finde ich weit gefächert und bisher hat alles völlig prima gemundet, was ich vor mir hingestellt erhalten habe. Ich kann dieses Lokal nur empfehlen! Meine Schwestern und ich das Gasthaus zeitgemäß für alle Anlässen — unwesentlich ob mit Freund, Bekannten oder Sippe ; ).

(Traducido por Google) Buen restaurante Condiciones amigables y buena comida. Solo puedo recomendarlo. (Original) Schönes Restaurant. Freundliche Bedingungen und gutes Essen. Kann es nur weiter Empfehlen.

Aufmerksamer Service, hervorragende italienische Küche, gute Beratung durch den Chef, Preis/Leistung ok. besten Dank dem Team Hans Jörg aus Zürich

(Traducido por Google) Bonito lugar con buena comida italiana. (Original) Nice place with good Italian food

(Traducido por Google) La comida es y siempre ha sido excelente, italiana casera y verdaderamente original. Cuando muchos, si no la mayoría de los restaurantes italianos tradicionales han sido tomados por no italianos que en el mejor de los casos pueden preparar una pésima pizza, ¡este es uno de estos lugares donde obtienes las cosas reales! Personal muy amigable. Recomendado. (Original) Food is and has always been great, homemade and truly original italian. When many if not most traditional italian restaurants have been taken over by non-italians that at best can prepare a lousy pizza , this is one of these places where you get the real stuff! Very friendly personnel. Recommended.
