Came here on a Wednesday night for dinner before a show. Lovely, intimate and cozy atmosphere. Great decor and lighting. Service was fantastic. We ordered off the specials and started with cauliflower soup with shrimp. This was the best soup I’ve ever had. Very generous portions, could have been a meal. The lasagna and sauce were delicious. Another pasta dish was good as well. Warm bread and dipping oil was served before meal. Two glasses of wine. All coming to a very reasonable price for a high quality meal. Would definitely go back!

Discovered a pleasant Italian restaurant in Hell’s Kitchen. If you want to avoid the high prices and tourist traps around Times Square, this is a great alternative. They offer a generous selection of pasta dishes, along with a nice range of red and white wines by the glass. Some of them were from Tuscan estates I already knew.
Prices are reasonable, the evening lighting is very pleasant, and the atmosphere feels warm and cosy. Greatly recommended!

This was such an amazing experience. My mother and I went Aria due to a recommendation from one of her friends and had the most amazing time. We went as a late lunch/early dinner prior to a Broadway show. We both ended up getting two different risotto dishes as our entrees, from the specials that night, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was amazing. As for our appetizer, we order a burrata and prosciutto dish. Our dessert I have attached a photo of. The service was great and we left smiling.

My reasoning behind that is I called and requested bread , and I didn’t get it. He did call and apologize all good !! I didn’t know you have to request utensils for a delivery order. The pasta was very dry and not alot of sauce. Would have been nice , more sauce. And the bread would have complimented this dish well. I had a better experience dining in. The cheese and walnuts were good , cheese was melted but that was expected. I’ll give this restaurant another try next time. Disappointed.

We came down from Boston and spent a fantastic Saturday night sitting at the bar. My wife rated the macaroni and cheese was as the best she’s ever had and the risotto with the lamb shank was a special treat. Beyond the tasty food, the welcoming environment and terrific service made it a great night out. Highly recommended!

We were part of a large group that had dinner here on Valentine’s Day. To start off we were seated right away. The owner promptly came to our table and greeted us. The restaurant was thoughtfully decorated for Valentine’s Day, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Everything was clean and comfortable. We had an array of orders at our table from the lamb to the lasagna and the Bolognese. Everything was delicious and well presented. The owner gave us wine suggestions and we loved all the his recommendations. This will definitely be one of our go to places when we are back in town.

Aria Hell’s Kitchen is a full song of excellent ambience, cuisine, and service. Owner, Mark, and his staff welcome you in like you’re having an old European family dinner. The mango goat cheese salad special was flavorful and refreshing, and the bolognese was phenomenal. Especially recommend the lasagna, and the tiramusu finished dinner off in the best way possible. Gorgeous setting and excellent recommendations from the staff. Grazie!

GET THE EGGPLANT APPETIZER TRUST ME. Consistently my favorite Italian in the city at an unbeatable price bracket. Authentic and friendly staff and atmosphere truly the kind of place a local New Yorker will take you that feels like a nonna is in the back cooking

The food was delicious, the service was great and the vibes were good as well. I had the pesto pasta and it was amazing but the best thing was definitely the price! It’s genuinely so impressive!
