What People Are Saying

Tina N.★★★★★

When our daughter’s caterer failed to show up for her wedding, Mario Ibarra’s team leapt into action to prepare appetizers, dinner and after-dancing snacks on less than a moment’s notice. Somehow, they managed to have delicious food for 120+ wedding guests transported to the Sequoia Retreat in time to salvage cocktail hour and dinner. The guests enjoyed caprese salad, bruschetta, various pastas, chicken piccata and Caesar salad. When the time came to pay, Mario’s price was more than fair. We have nothing but great things to say about his service, food, staff and the way they treated out-of-town visitors like members of the family. Thank you again and again!

Billy S.★★★★★

Our new favorite place close to home. Matteo, Rosie, and Allan always make it a great night. The food is always on point. The pasta is absolutely done perfectly every time (and we are home-cook pasta snobs). This place is a hidden gem in the SLV. They even have live music on the weekends which is an added bonus!!

Kurt K.★★★★★

The Aroma Restaurant did an amazing job at providing a great meal for 120 people on short notice for my niece’s wedding this week. The staff delivered and served for us and did a magnificent job and the food was delicious!
