Aroma Italian restaurant in East Lindsey

OK food - slow service ! Told only conservatory available . So sat for ages , freezing cold to point everyone wearing padded coats . Waited so long to be served nearly walked out . Others seemed to be seen bit more quickly. Then to add insult to our long drawn out service , a couple came into conservatory two minutes later waitress came to them and offered them inside where we could have been offered . So shows one review and experience on here completly different to another . I asked 3 times young girl to order . Then when I asked for bill left me waiting so had to go pay at bar as seemed we were just invisible . Why have conservatory for extra guests with no heater ! Who wants to eat a meal in padded coat . Food lasagna, meat balls &carbonara plentiful but OK. Wouldn't recommend due to the service !

Stodgy precooked food and cold salami placed on top of the cooked pizza

Amazing meal and a great looking restaurant - will be back

We have just had a wonderful meal here, the 2nd time in 3 weeks, the food on both occasions was absolutely lovely, very generous portions, and the staff could not have been more helpful.

Family evening meal, ordered pizza and wow one of the best pizzas I've ever had

I went here with my partner a few hours ago and everything was fantastic. 10/10. I can't fault it whatsoever, we will definitely be back

If you're after something a little more special then the stereotypical fish and chips and want to be away from the hustle and bustle of the crowds ... then this is the perfect place for you. It's a 13 min walk from the pier. It also has parking on site. Staff were lovely, the restaurant was clean and well presented. Prices are decent. Food was absolutely amazing 🤤 Make sure you leave room for dessert ... you won't be disappointed!

Really friendly staff, excellent calamari, beautiful pizza, and reasonable prices. Thank you, Aroma, for the lovely meals.

Highly recommend this restaurant. It’s in a quiet neighborhood, perfect for dating and family. The food is amazing, too.

Clean, tasty and worth the price.

The waiting staff were welcoming and attentive. The food was flavourful and there was lots of it. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

Very good food at affordable prices. A restaurant with a very nice decor and very good service. One thing you can complain about is the lack of air conditioning, which can be tiring at such temperatures.

Delicious food, amazing service and overall and excellent place to eat dinner. Best restaurant in Skegness by far.

Me and my wife ate there tonight for date night sadly it didn't end well as she was made very sick. Either they made a mistake with the gluten free or there was something else wrong with the food as my wife was made very ill from eating there, so quite an expensive meal it not to last very long. The service was good the waitress was very nice and had done her job however when we asked about the gluten free we were told that everything thay she had definitely wad so either the kitchen were wrong or there's another issues with there food. Hopefully they just messed up the gluten free but still not good especially for the cost sadly we wont eat there again as we can't risk it

We had a leaflet put though the door today offering delivery which we didn't know was available. Placed our order which arrived in good time. Food was excellent will definitely order from here again.

Absolutley great food. Excellent service, very friendly staff. A party of 12 of us and everyone was satisfied with our visit. X

Went early Sunday evening for my wife's birthday beautiful food and excellent service the staff couldn't do enough for us especially gabby who really looked after us. We will definitely return soon.

We regularly travel over to this restaurant from Derby and always enjoy the experience, However on our last visit we was left feeling a little disappointed with the quality of service, We ordered 3 meals and was only served 2 , We had to wait for well over 5 minutes for the 3rd meal to arrive , then we asked for parmesan cheese for 2 of the meals, it took 3 requests to finally get it , we asked for more napkins, never arrived , Then when we asked for the bill and my partner was going to have a coffee before we left but we gave up after 15 mins and went pay at the bar , , The food is always amazing and the service is normally spot on, but pn this occasion we felt let down ..

This was the first time I have tried this restaurant and I was happy with the food and service

Do not go here if you have allergies or intolerances. I went there yesterday, I have an intolerance to gluten and dairy. The staff were useless and unaccommodating. We ended up leaving and getting food else where. Never did I think I would hear phrases like “Choose wisely” (when picking gluten free pasta dishes and she wasn’t sure which ones were dairy free so apparently that was up to me to know) “Can’t you have it with no cheese” (when I asked if they did vegan cheese for the pizzas) “Yeah…I’m sure they will be gluten free”. The staff had no clue at all!

The restaurant is lacking is terms of really authentic Italian menu options, as well as atmosphere. But the worst thing was being served undercooked chicken and then being offered a £4 discount for it. Either apologise and/or discount the entire dish. You simply cant serve undercooked food and not own up to it properly.

Great food and service, would recommend,

Superb dining, you would be hard pressed to find a better restaurant in Skegness. You will never leave hungry. Strongly recommend.

This was a great find whilst visiting for work. The food was delicious, and the waiter was friendly and welcoming. Homemade tiramisu to finish as well. It's definitely worth a visit for anyone in the area!

Large family group ate there. All agreed our food was delicious. Service was lovely. Would recommend.

Great food, good service, really enjoyed our meal

Great quality, fresh food for a very reasonable price. Highly recommend!

Very tasty food and friendly staff.. highly recommended!!!

Absolutely fantastic services, food was fabulous while away at our lodge we went to Aroma 2-3 times as it was amazing. Even had a cheeky takeaway from them too! Thanks again Aroma we will certainly be back 💖

The food tastes outstanding and very recommended throughout all Italian restaurants in Skegness and the prices are very reasonable I do suggest a must try from me for the calzone pizza 🍕💯👍

Very good warm friendly place, food was delicious

Just had a lovely meal as a 4some. Lovely food, very tasty and large portions. Well worth a trip here.

Amazing food! Only negative is that the portions are enormous but they did give us a doggy bag to take the remainder home! Would highly recommend. Thank you 😊

We had a lovely evening last night. Our group of 9 adults enjoyed the delicious food, seriving sizes and service from the friendly staff. The accessibility toilets were good and much needed for our group. Thanks for having us!

Absolutely beautiful food from starter to sweet. Every course was served well and hot. Waitresses were very polite. All on all one of the best Italian restaurants I've eaten in. 10 out of 10

Delicious food and lovely staff. A great choice of vegetarian options. Full of flavour. You can tell all the food is home cooked , it's delicious.

As holiday makers nearby we ordered a takeaway and we were both so impressed by the food. My prawn starter was delicious and the prawns were huge! The pasta dish we each had was equally delicious, hot and tasty and generous portions. When we return to Skegness we will definitely choose you again 😊 Thank-you

Lovely restaurant, food was brilliant and staff even better, will return if I'm ever in the area

First visit, very good food and service

I came here with my partner and a couple of friends (Party of 5 people), and was seated almost immediately at 7pm. The waitresses were very attentive to all customers in the restaurant, including ourselves, and ensured that orders were taken in a timely manner, without expecting you to know what you want immediately. We weren't waiting too long on food to start coming out either, which was a plus, as from ordering and between courses, it was roughly 10-15 minutes between them. The food came out piping hot and fresh, which was great. 3 courses each, and 2 drinks at this restaurant, set us back roughly £30-35 each, which is very good for the quality you are getting from here. I would highly recommend eating here if you are looking for a nice evening out without breaking the bank. The atomsphere is amazing, the staff are great, and the food is fantastic.

We went on a Sunday early so not many in so quiet atmosphere but the restaurant is really clean and beautifully decorated. We were a bit anxious about going as after my partner booked we heard bad reviews but the food was delicious perfectly cooked and full of flavour. The waitress was very attentive and helpful . We will be going again

Appalling meal So disappointing as been going years come back Mario !! Best part of meal the mint at the end !! Bland tasteless slimy food cold and like waiting for Christmas overpriced overcrowded and same bland sauce for every dish never again !

We went for a birthday meal for my husband and mother-in-law last night. Our table was booked for 6:30 and we were a party of 8. It took us an hour to get our starters and we didn’t receive our main meals until gone 9pm. When asked about the wait for food, we were just told that the restaurant was busy and they were doing what they could. There had been no mention at any point in the evening of the wait for food. When the food did arrive it was nice but by the time we received our mains at gone 9pm, we didn’t really feel like eating and took a lot of the food home with us. A 2 and a half hour wait for food isn’t really acceptable, particularly when other tables were served considerably more quickly. Even as a table of 8, we had ordered our mains and starters together at the beginning of the night so they had plenty of notice. We were not the only table complaining of the wait at payment, seems like it was a recurrent issue last night.

We booked a table for half 6. It was around 7:45 when our starters were brought out. We then waited until just gone 9 for our mains. 2 and half hours waif for our mains is just ridiculous. By the time we got our food, most of our group didn't really want to eat because it was too late. The kicker was that other groups came in after we'd had our starters, and finished their starters and mains before we got ours. We ended up taking most of our food home with us. May as well have ordered a takeaway

Very disappointing, after waiting 1 hr 35 mins for meal ,it was very bland ,(all 5 meals) asked for a water for table they brought it but no glasses had to ask twice more , the 2 tables near us waited longer

Very good portions .....excellent quality food which was lovely and fresh . Helpful staff

Great food, good atmosphere, good service

The food is lovely the staff are welcoming and friendly, the price's are reasonable. My favourite bit is that the kids get to choose off the adult menu and portion appropriately.

Is a really nice place to go for a Italian meal I did have the meat lover pizza delicious I do recommend going the staff are really polite and friendly the best pizza iv tried in a while

The service and food were both first class. Absolutely delicious and extremely good quality for the price. Would highly recommend 👌

Beautiful Italian restaurant. Highly recommended by us.

Lovely starter and great main. Main took a while but fine as freshly cooked.

Went for a meal last night and was well impressed . We had a starter of garlic bread with cheese and when it arrived it was the size of a pizza😀. The main meal was outstanding . No room for pudding after this .

From sitting down to getting a meal.1 hour 30 mins elderly grandmother had to have her put into a doggy bag and take her to have it Sunday as it was too late.. the food was bland no taste no spices no brown peppercorn could not understand cream sauces we're just the linguine tasted like bleach so you need to get it right in their chef's attention to detail and taste there were ten of us 8 adults two children but we won't be coming back until we hear it's better😭😭👩‍🍳👩‍🍳😭

Mario’s was great. Aroma is awful. Really just isn’t worth the doe. Gave them multiple chances but food is always poor

Really really nice food. Great staff and service. 1st time visit and when back in Skegness will re-visit.

First-time visiting and was amazed by the Lovely food, not many people in aswell as it was a week day.

First time ever going here and I wish I had it first day of the holiday as I would be here every day… we ordered a variety to try not realising the portion sizes are huge which is amazing, we end up leaving with take out boxes because there was so much. All good is made and cooked at time so can alter what is in it if you don’t line something. The pizza is fantastic (it is homemade and baked In authentic pizza oven) it was all amazing couldn’t recommend any more! Will be here next time we come to Skegness. Thankyou guys so much!

Beautiful restaurant, lovely staff, delicious food. We all had pizza, the only thing that could have made it better would have been a little more generous with the toppings including cheese. Would definitiely recommend.

Very good quality, portion sizes, and service for a good price. Would have loved to have dessert but couldn’t possibly eat anymore after starters mains and a garlic bread

Best restaurant I’ve been to amazing food and very good for the price deserts was amazing lovely time out

Went several times when it was marios and food was always top notch, tonight im afraid not so mussells to start were poor quality sauce lacked seasoning ...i never add salt but had to and lots of it. My main was ok ( meatballs) but my wifes salmon pasta was not cooked enough some pasta was hard and some salmon still raw however the pizza we had to accompany the meal was good .poss not be going back 😏

Not best, I'm afraid. The food was nice, and the antipasti starter was very good, but putting red wine on the table when the house white was ordered ? Mains were very nice, too, but a panacotta that a knife and fork couldn't breakdown, wasn't good/rejected. "Was everything ok ?" we were asked as we paid. Not exactly an appropriate enquiry under the circumstances I'd suggest, especially with maybe 6x tables in use through the time we were there, not exactly busy. I'm inclined to think the number of reviews/comments on here (at present ~550) are related to the restaurants former name, Mario's and not the current setup (Aroma).

Great food, lovely venue and excellent service!

Ordered a chicken dish but it when it came some of it was still raw ( uncooked) . Was offered another meal or dessert in replacement.

Lovely food and good service, they were very accommodating and did a table for 29 at short notice. 👍

Food cold expensive for what we got , eaten better food else where shame as we had never been to this one read the reviews to try but I’m afraid not for us

Food was lovely, really big portions too big I actually think we could of shared the one bowl between all 3 of us you get that much and we are big eaters . Staff super friendly and helpful will defo be back when down again

My wife and I visited last night for her 40th birthday, it was brilliant very tasty food and the staff are fantastically helpful and polite they did everything to make our night special, will be definitely visiting again with the rest of our family 😁👍👍👍. Update we visited again today and another great evening couldn't ask for a better evening 😊

I did not enjoy my food Lasania was with ham i never eat this kind of meal by this receipt before I love italian food They did not offer desert meniu Well not everywhere u can get tasty food and nice service

Sorry but this feedback is needed. I believe there has been a change in ownership. Food has gone downhill, some of the items I have eaten there I could have made better at home. The food I ate there was literally as if no effort was made. Please improve and get to the standards of the previous owners.

Wow!!! What a gem of a place. We'd already looked at places to dine 🍽 the previous day and had decided on here. We were not disappointed. Starters: 1 x Bruschetta and 1 x Salmon Bruschetta. We both shared and were equally pleased with our choices. Mains: 1 x Steak with vegetables (M-WD) 1 x Pasta Carbonarra with side salad 🥗 😋 It was absolutely delicious We were so full we couldn't manage anything else. Will definitely call again when we're in the area

Great meal, good company and a good venue.

Called in on chance, but we were welcomed by wonderful staff and had an amazing meal for a reasonable price, highly recommended.

Delicious food and excellent service.

Went for valentines meal everything was excellent will definitely be going again

On holiday and popped in on the off chance. Hadn't booked but managed to get a table. Would recommend you book if you want to go. Glad we managed to get in. Delicious food. Friendly service. Definitely recommend

13 of us prebooked to eat Friday evening on a recommendation. Nice welcome good organisation great service fantastic food. Thanks to staff for a great night.

Service was not great. Pasta was ok. Steak was not done to preference, but was tasty. Wasn't offered a dessert menu.

I have just left this restaurant never feeling so humiliated in my life by the rude waiter. He walked past and slipped on something by my table to which he looked at me and commented "some people " He then returned with a bit of tissue to wipe the floor and gave me the most disgusting look ever. I cannot however fault the food but I would certainly never ever return to this restaurant with an attitude of a waiter like that !!!

fantastic nothing more to be said

Lovely little restaurant and one abit more up market in Skegness. Food was delicious, we will definitely go back when we visit again.

Early dinner with my son .. fabulous!! What a superb host and team . Fabulous food Excellent steak and pasta . Great portions and reasonable price ! Staff attentive and friendly I will return soon ! Thank you Mario and his team

Another excellent meal at Mario's.

First time we've been won't be the last

We had a very good meal and the service was outstanding. It was a very busy night too. We asked for something off the menu, unfortunately could not accommodate us, BUT on our way out the chef said if we got in touch a couple of days before he could make sure we have exactly what we wanted. Thank you 😊

First time at this lovely italian restaurant, lovely atmosphere, not feel rushed like in most places these days, staff couldn't do enough for us, very clean and tidy, will definitely be visiting again. Small car park at side for restaurant use.

What an absolute gem of a place. I love Italian food and this was the best Italian meal I have had in a very long time. Cooked to order, tasted fantastic and very generous portions at a very very reasonable price. Staff were attentive and polite. Absolutely 10/10 - fantastic.

Love Mario's always go for evening meal with family cant beat it ,excellent food .we are here on holiday and meet with family living here just love it clean friendly and food is fantastic well done xx

Food excellent bit pricey For what you get on the mains

Excellent meal and good service with friendly staff. Recommend you pre-book pollo valda'osta

Love this Italian restaurant.Staff are lovely always food exceptional.

Great friendly atmosphere and staff food was absolutely fantastic. An absolute must if visiting skegness

Terrible service with rude staff. The food was substandard.

Nice food. Shame we got rushed out and the end of our meal

Here August Bank holiday - visiting for the day and we hadn't booked so we appreciated it was busy and they fit us in. That's about the only good thing to say. My partners parents accidentally went to sit at a table that wasn't ours, and the waiter was so rude, rolling his eyes and exclaiming "that's not for you!" From then on, the staff were rude the whole meal. I could list about 10 examples so I'll just pick a couple... The waiter came to offer black pepper and I asked if I would be able to get another drink. He snapped back and said "can't you just let me finish what I'm doing!" Wow... My partners mother at one point actually said to the waiter "please don't get angry". She's such a gentle sweet person so she was particularly uncomfortable how aggressive the staff seemed to be. The food was average but we were determined to stay for the whole meal as we'd been travelling and were hungry. I ordered a cheesecake for dessert and it came out frozen. I mean, completely frozen. I asked one of the waiters if it needed to go in a microwave to defrost. He said no, "that's how it should be". I was very polite saying, but please, I cannot even cut it in two? He said the cheesecake came frozen and they only took it out the freezer as and when necessary. Fine no problem, but make sure it's defrosted? They then charged us for 2 cheesecakes we hadn't touched despite my complaint. My partners family were so upset that they just wanted to leave urgently so we paid the whole bill despite an absolutely terrible experience that ruined our trip to the area.

We went here as people said try this place , it was very cramped for saying there was only 2 of us ,we had starters which was OK they should do equal portions so there a bit of a problem there ,manager was.nt really bothered mains were OK, first impressions ,well we will not be returning .

Great food and good service - a really nice find with a lovely ambience.

Tried to book in a few times without success Eventually got booked in and was well worthy of the wait Food was fantastic and service was spot on Will definitely return 10/10

What a great find. All orders are made to order which means any personalisations can be made. We had a gluten free garlic bread, gluten free chicken & mushroom pasta and a ‘normal’ calzone and chips. The food was beautiful and the staff were lovely. We will definitely return on our next visit to Skegness.
