Seriously needs to open at 8 on a Saturday, 9 is too late. Especially if you need a coffee! And I must say thecoffee is of high quality - although it’s 7am and I will not visit Starbucks who also sell great coffee at similar prices. I would wait until 8… but do you see our issue? How many others feel the same? Come on guys. You can lay in on Sunday when you’re closed?!

How did the locals cope before Bar Aroma opened? Not as well as they do now, that’s for sure. It hits the spot, and has quickly built up a loyal regular clientele. I haven’t been on one of the couple of nights a week when it’s open for supper (booked guests only), but can vouch for the quality of breakfast, brunch and lunch. And, of course, decent coffee which I’m sure any visiting Italian would recognise as pretty good. But what sets Bar Aroma apart is the friendly welcome and excellent service from Kim and her team. Hopefully Bar Aroma will remain a fixture for many years to come.

My husband and I came for dinner from the Christmas menu when there was also a live singer. The food was delicious, the staff are friendly and helpful too. The singer was amazing and we had the best night! I've never been somewhere where literally every single person was out of their seat dancing. A fabulous night and we can't wait to go back! I feel very lucky that bar aroma is only a walk away from home.

In the last two weeks, I have had two disappointing visits to Aroma Bar. Both times I took my 4-month old baby in a pram, and both times I was made to feel as though the staff found the pram a nuisance. My latest visit, I had a staff member push past my pram with a high chair, telling me I needed to move and being so impatient she bumped the pram and startled my baby. On my way out, I was struggling to hold the door open whilst pushing the pram - no staff offered to help. With this and the uneven pavement outside the door, I ended up spilling my hot tea on the pram, just missing my baby. I was very unimpressed and will not be returning.

We love, love, love this cafe. The owners and their team make you so welcome whether you drop in for one of their superb coffees; are having a meal or coming along for drinks in the evening. Bar Aroma is a great local for the community and they have some pretty special local singers performing at the weekends too. Great job Mike and Kim.

Great night and great service. Loved Olivia Stevens and Co. We’ve been here a few times and never been disappointed with food, service or entertainment

Wonderful atmosphere, great hosts and perfect coffee and food. A real Italian feel and a welcome part of the local community.

An excellent well run cafe. I only had 2 (delicious) coffees whilst I did some work but the staff were very friendly and helpful. Tables were cleared and wiped clean between customers straightaway. Immaculate toilets. Wish I lived closer as I would definitely be back!

Nice relaxed atmosphere and comfortable seating. Good choice on the menu with the option of gluten free bread. Avocado a little runny for my liking but still a lovely breakfast.

I love this place! Having lived in Italy myself, I can vouch that these folks are the real deal. If you want that Italian, family run atmosphere and taste, you’ve found it! 🤘🏼

Lovely cafe and bar. Have visited for coffee and cake, lunch (pizza was amazing!) and in the evening. Always a fabulous experience and will be back again soon. Great food and friendly staff.

Bar Aroma has moved since the photo for the trip advisor entry was taken into larger premises. Cafe by day, which is always vibrant and bustling and on Friday and Saturday evenings, it's a fantastic bar. Everything is perfect- from the friendly staff to the well made drinks, to the evening tapas menu comprising authentic Italian dishes. Many is the Friday night we pop in for an end of week cocktail and end up staying longer and ordering dinner too!

The coffee is fabulous, but it so much more than coffee! A very friendly & comfortable place to be, the service is beyond compare and their food is scrumptious too! Highly recommend a visit!

We came into this café for some after dinner drinks. The place itself was very cosy. We were given a menu which only had alcoholic drinks on (possibly some soft drinks). My dad ordered a cider but the rest of our party were hoping for hot drinks (which we didn’t think would be too much trouble in a café). My mum and mother in law ordered coffees, to which we were told that they do not serve coffee after a certain time…the young girl did not offer an alternative, so they went without. It was a strange experience for a café - it’s great that they serve alcohol in the evening but to completely rule out coffee altogether is very odd.

Three friends and I visited Friday 11th 5pm to enjoy the evening Aparitivo and Small Plate Menu. The atmosphere was instantly welcoming and relaxed. We ordered an arancini each, plus a caprese board and two formaggio cheese boards to share (including an excellent and delicious...

Nice welcome and service. Indoor and outdoor seating. reasonable prices. Set back from the Havant road with some decking that will catch the sun in the summer. Nice pastries to take away or eat in.

We were looking to kill some time so we decided to have a coffee. It turned out to be a surprisingly enjoyable experience with excellent coffee combined with pleasant and friendly people in a very clean and attractive cafe. The cakes looked delicious but we...

How lovely to have a proper Italian coffee house within a stones throw locally, with Italian pastries and hearty meals and all served with a dedicated and chic staff who clearly love Italy. They welcome dogs too, to add to the atmosphere. You can sit...

I must remember never to go back to this place again. We’ve been before and had an enjoyable experience, but the last few times have been dreadful. We’ve walked in and sat at a vacant table, only to be shepherded back to the door rudely. Then the host then led us back to the same table. Very unnecessary. On our latest visit I ordered a Pina Colada. When it arrived I had a couple of sips and really didn’t like it. It was not creamy at all and just taste of really sweet syrup. I took it back, she offered to remake, but I didn’t another one. When my husband paid the bill they refused to remove my drink. I have never know such bad customer service over a £10 cocktail. They have lost a customer.

Second oldest pub in Portsmouth and it is the highlight of the place. Breakfast was good and plentiful. The room is small with wonky electricity and plumbing,but I guess one must expect that in a 300 year old building. The wifi works well. Staff are businesslike. I wouldnt stay here again,but I'm glad I had the experience.

Never been met by people in a small business so annoyed to receive custom, tutted and huffed as I entered the shop, yes it was 14:45 and the shop closed at 15:00 but that’s no excuse. I ordered 2 rolls, once the filling was in the roll I stated which salad I would like in each and was told there was no salad left?? No discount offered and to make matters worse when opening the rolls outside the shop the fillings were incorrect. Another customer entered the shop behind me the staff members both rolled their eyes and gave him a dirty look, if you don’t want to be selling products until you close maybe worth advising a cut off time for rolls and food to be made. The filling in the rolls was a good portion and tasted good but wasn’t what I ordered. I won’t be returning
