AROMA Ristorante Italiano in Mole Valley

Delicious home made Italian food. Amazing deserts and very nice service. I can highly recommend.

It is an absolute lovely restaurant specific to its culture and embraces authenticity. In-house freshly made pastas, pizzas, and flatbread. There is passion here. Owner Michael engages with his clientele and takes pride in his establishment in every aspect. He speaks highly of his team, and you can hear he is proud. I have been recommending Aroma to friends and colleagues since Sunday.

Fantastic, brilliant, proper Italian cuisine. Brilliant service, even better food.

Every time I have come it has been a lovely experience and today my family and some family friends went here for my father's 49th birthday dinner and the service( by Michael) was amazing only matched by the delicious food and quality selection of wine. I feel sometimes when you go somewhere as a group you expect a bit of delay or a mishap or two but that has never been the case at aroma it was flawless service. Would recommend to anyone in Dorking West Street to pay a visit.

Really nice Restaurant. Modern style. Delicious food and awesome desserts. Can highly recommend

Very friendly staff, food excellent really fresh & yummy. We came for a family lunch with young children & our dog & the staff were super accommodating. Will definitely be back, really pleasant lunch thank you 🙏

Excellent food and service. Highly recommended.

Amazing service, exceptionally tasty food and great value for money! One of the best Italian restaurants in Surrey!

I was recommend to try Aroma by a friend and I love to cook Italian food myself so I am pretty fussy about quality. I can honestly say Aroma did not disappoint, the burrata starter was delicious and I had the Romana pizza, which was excellent. The service was brilliant too, very attentive. Only problem was it was lunch time so I couldn’t drink the cocktails as driving! Next time though…

Food was excellent. Service was excellent. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Definitely going again and will add to my list of places to go. Only comment was it was quite noisy due to being busy and the contemporary design. Won't stop me from going though

Fantastic experience. Food, atmosphere and service all good. Two soecials were

Delicious food! Plenty of parmesan. Lovely menu. Great atmosphere. Brilliant service.

It was my first time today, pizza was great, service was great, location is great, couldn't want more, me and the girlfriend were delighted.

A supprisingly open and atmospheric back room space with an airy feeling, with more intimate table near the front. Great food and good wines to be had. Recommended.

we visited Dorking and had lunch in Aroma italy. we had bread olives Poll Funghi Asparagi Spigola Vino Bianco Sparkling and plain water it was ok service Was good good atmosphere nice day out

Amazing Italian food. The pizza is delicious. The service is great. The wine is exquisite.

Very nice place popped in for snack enjoyable nice weather was good to eat in garden

I loved it. The best thing was the crust, it was so yummy I kept I eating crust.

Food and service great but way way over priced food

Good vibes, good food, did the job and hit the spot

What can I say? The negroni was the best I’ve had in years. The carbonara (with actual guanciale) was fantastic. The calf’s liver with onions and mashed potatoes was delicious. The affogato al caffe was perfection. The service was impeccable. What more could you ask for? Me, nothing…other than to go back there again very soon.

We had 3 courses all of which were popular Italian dishes and can honestly say they were all the best we have had. Highly recommended

Lovely fresh food and catered amazingly for allergies.

If I could give everything 6 stars or more, I would! On perhaps one of the most busiest nights in the calendar year (Valentine's Day) everything was top notch! Big shout out to the two gentlemen who were running/waiting the floor and the one other behind the bar, I don't know how they did it, but it was non-stop and they really showed how to run a restaurant floor when it looks like it should be at least a 4 person job. The food quality and value was amazing, I can comfortably say this is one of the best Italian restaurants I've ever been too! It's a shame I'm not in the area anytime soon as I was just stopping by, but certainly the hospitality, food and atmosphere was nothing short of excellent. If I'm in the area again, this will certainly be my go-to! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a friendly local authentic Italian in the Dorking area. Annoying as my phone didn't save the pictures of everything I took, but I had the Tomato and Pesto garlic bread, Sea Bass main and Chocolate Souffle with gelato for dessert.

Nice spot ..great service . Felt it was a bit punchy in price for the actual portion size / quality of food but overall it’s definitely worth going to.

My boyfriend and I have just had an excellent meal here . The food the attention the service was 10/10. Best Italian restaurant around . Defenitly be returning .

What a great restaurant! We celebrated my birthday here today, and had aperitifs, starters, mains, desserts, wine, digestives and coffees, and everything from start to finish was very good. The service was also very, very good, and the setting was great as well. We'll definitely be back!

great service, staff are really friendly - great value and authentic food. food was amazing! definitely recommend

Great service but unimaginative menu. There's so much great Italian food available but it's too much like any other . Come on, you can do better - it's a lovely restaurant and you're great people

Lovely food & a great atmosphere will definitely be visiting again!

Had a delightful team lunch here last week, food was delightful and service lovely. Staff enthusiastic about the food and super friendly. I had the special pasta which sadly I didn't photograph but it was absolutely delightful! Beautiful tomato creamy sauce with Italian sausage 🇮🇹 ❤️

We had a Christmas Party for 25 people and the food was delicious and the staff friendly and welcoming. The waiter Jonah joined in our quiz and knew more than most of us!! Thank you all for making our evening such a success.

The food was amazing and so was the services! Cant fault it! Probably my new favourite Italian food in dorking! Will definitely recommend to people! Thank you for a lovely Evening

Very good food, but served on cold plates so wasn't very hot. Isn't warming plates standard practice?

Absolutely unreal. Service was second to none. Jonah was a joy. The food was some of the best I've had. Absolutely top notch. Would highly recommend

A delicious meal in a lovely atmosphere. Tried this place for the first time and was very impressed by all the food which tasted wonderful and the portions were very satisfactory. Shared a starter, and had a main and dessert and both me and my friend enjoyed every mouthful. We were carefully attended to by a lovely waiter and I look forward to going back again to try other items off the menu.

Great place to eat with the family!

Delicious, well presented and fresh food, very good value for money with friendly service. Came here with my mum and nan and had a lovely time! Definitely recommend :)

今人驚喜的食肆！地方優雅，食物賣相及味道也很吸引！男侍應態度親切，服務週到！我們點選了三套不同的三道菜午餐，共享了多款美食，實在難忘！定必推介給朋友並再來享受美食！！

The place is very inviting, well decorated. The restroom is clean and tidy. We had the three courses meal which was absolutely impressive. We definitely would go back again.

An amazing find! We had lunch and the set menu was incredibly generous and delicous. The staff was attentive and friendly, the setting very welcoming. The cocktails were great too! Five stars all the way!

Brilliant food and brilliant service. Easily the best Italian in Dorking. Reasonably priced food and wine too!

Lasagna is so delicious!! Amazing food and service!

Visited Aroma two times within a week due to the exquisite experience we had the first time. Bruschetta and carbonara were the real deal, blowing our expectations away, the pizza was great, and the service was very attentive, quick, and overall made for a great time. We’ll surely visit Aroma again when we’ll pass through the area in the future, only to enjoy the amazing dishes offered here, as well as Michael’s hospitality.

Amazing! The service was great, food was delicious, great value, and very satisfying! We had pizzas, calamari and branzino. Highly recommend! Thanks Gioele for making us feel at home (Italy)!

Some helpful info to start with - located in narrow one way system of central Dorking so you are advised to check out the car parks before proceeding. There are 2 steps to negotiate before entering & you will be surprised at the spaciousness of the interior. We were a Wedding Reception party of 11 & the Restaurant had organised a secluded area for us. Just one waiter served us & he was pleasant, attentive & totally professional. Food portions were generous to the extent that some starters were enough for a main course. Prices aren't shown on the menus outside the Restaurant but I would grade them as mid range & excellent value. Great lunchtime experience

Had wedding lunch here. Excellent food service and atmosphere. Thanks to all the chefs and staff. Sandy and Jo.

joele is a great waiter amazing food thank you

What a lovely and very very good quality Italian Restaurant in our lovely town of Dorking. Truly think that is one of the best that I ever visited in here. Traditional, original and above all, honest and beautiful food. Great night with traditional Sicilian food and what a night!! Many thanks guys.

Amazing Italian in Dorking! The food is so good! We started with cheesy garlic bread, courgette fries and a special arancini fish. All were exceptional. Mains were delicious too and good sized portions.

The best Italian food in the area

Very tasty, delicious and well presented food. Satisfying portions with good quality ingredients. Prawn starters and home made bread were amazing! Plaice, and lambshank were heavenly. Homemade tiramisu very authentic. Highly recommended and will definitely go back!

Esperienza ottima.... ristorante italiano nel vero senso della parola. Ottimo cibo . Servizio eccellente. Cordialità superiore.... Lo consiglio vivamente..

This place is a hidden gem. We had an excellent pasta and pizza! We don’t eat dairy the the chef was very accommodating. Both the food and wine was amazing. Great value for money as the portions are huge. We will definitely be returning.

Lovely food, fresh and very tasty. Excellent service in great surroundings. Highly recommended.

My husband and I went here last night and I am so glad we did! The food and wine was completely delicious, the ambiance was just right and the waiters were very friendly and professional! We walked away very full and happy, saying that you would struggle to find somewhere as good in London. Thank you for a fab evening out!

We went there for my partner birthday and despite being early so we could make the show at dorking hall, the staff was friendly, food was lovely, wine was nice and their aperol spritz went down really well !

Very attentive wait or switch great service and amazing food. I’m my opinion their piccante is the best pizza in Surrey.

Absolutely lovely experience, impeccable food and amazing service, was nice and quiet so we would appreciate the lovely music and soothing decor. Would absolutely recommend to anyone!

Really enjoyed the visit. Lovely atmosphere. Food was fabulous, best pizza I've had for a very long time. Staff went out of their way to get us a taxi home.

Delicious food and lovely service, we will definitely be going back!

Sadly, I can not give this restaurant a positive review. The food was average, having ordered the specials for my starter and main course. I was expecting something fresh and delicious. Instead, it was underwhelming and bland. The starter was a burrata dish, which should have come with a fresh pesto instead turned up without accompanied by a watery sliced beef tomato and some rocket. I had to ask for some balsamic dressing to attempt to bring flavour to the dish. For the main course, I chose a special fettuccine vongole. I had a plate full of clam shells with no clams in sight. Whilst the manager attempted to offer take the meal off or give us free coffees and deserts, I was not impressed. It came across insincere. When the bill came and we wanted to split it, three ways he refused to allow it was to round it down by a mere 20p per person and blamed the PDQ machine. It was still including a 15% service fee, so it was not as I we were refusing to pay service! What a shame that the food, service, and atmosphere fell way below par. They have lost custom from three of us who plan to meet up regularly in Dorking. And now we won't be returning to that Italian restaurant...

First time visit. Delicious food and great wine! Food was hot and full of flavour. Great Menu! Excellent service perfectly spaced between courses. Friendly staff. Have already booked again!

Beautiful authentic feeling Italian restaurant, the food was outstanding. Had the mushroom risotto which was superb. Great place, friendly staff, totally recommend. Serata molto piacevole. fantastico.

excellent restaurant, we were welcomed by the waiters very well, very friendly staff, it feels like home or a family although they were not, the algerian one was super friendly, the romanian was outstanding, we enjoyed being there, we had couple of interesting conversations. the food was really good, i ordered seafood pasta, it was very tasty and i enjoyed it a lot, pasta was al dente, sauce was rich, very well cooked. thanks to chef. we had a good time. i ll definitely visit it again if i can

A very enjoyable meal, the staff are welcoming, attentive and the food is delicious. The restaurant has a modern but comfortable atmosphere and I would say the service is above 5*. The above review was written over a year ago when the restaurant was called La Cucina, I have not been to Aroma so cannot judge it!

Fabulous food, generous with ingredients and tasty too. The Calzone was superb.

Excellent team looked after us, food was delicious. Lovely setting

Thank you so much for making my mums birthday special! Lovely food and above and beyond service :)

We have been coming to this lovely restaurant since they opened and cannot thank them enough for the excellent service, amazing food, and atmosphere. Cannot recommend Aroma enough!

Absolutely fantastic restaurant. The food is consistently lovely and the specials are always a tasty twist. Service is friendly and attentive and, having eaten here regularly since it opened, I haven't had anything other than excellent experiences. I'd be happy to take anyone I knew there in total confidence that they would enjoy their meal. The calzone is amazing, the picante is fantastic - but the mussels are absolutely brilliant.

If my car was broken, I would cycle on a bicycle, if my bicycle broke I would run here… Amazing pizza, atmosphere, great staff. Highly recommended and appreciated.

Lovely restaurant. Deserves all the great reviews. Food is really tasty and well presented. Not expensive and outstanding service. Great asset for Dorking. Highly recommend!

We visited Aroma on the weekend, driving 35 minutes to Dorking. And it was well worth the trip! The Gameberoni starter was simply one of the most delicious I have tried and the meat on the lamb shank main course simply fell off the bone. Micheal and his wife are two of the nicest people you can meet and they constantly strive for perfection. We shall be returning very soon :-)

Very decent calzone; really nice dough.

While the service was good, the food was decidedly mediocre and relatively tasteless. Certainly doesn't deserve the average high rating.

We love this Restaurant. A great welcome every time we go and excellent food & service. We have taken friends there who in turn return with their family and friends.

Nice place, friendly staff. food is really tasty. Tagliata was perfect!

A wonderful dining experience with my wife and young son. The staff were very professional and polite, faultless throughout. The food was really good, fresh and delightful flavours. Can’t wait to go back.

Lovely food, great service and catered to vegan options. Will be back!

Lovely Italian restaurant in Dorking with really good food and friendly professional service.

Really great experience and fantastic food.

Excellent food and service. Group of 10. No problem. 3 course dinner. Great food, wine and service. Reasonable prices.

Foodand service was the best. 😁

The owner is really adorable, welcoming and happy for a chat. The food and place are amazing with nice music.

Great food and a great ambience, the staff are lovely and helped my brothers to have a great birthday celebration. Our family particularly loved the wines available. This is a great addition to Dorking, we travelled about 20 minutes by car to come eat here, recommend it to anyone living relatively nearby in surrey.

Very good service and value for money. The base of the pizza was excellent, rice and pasta dishes also full of flavour. A wonderful find.

Went with my partner and the food was absolutely lovely. Beautiful restaurant with fantastic table service and good value for money.

Fantastic food, great service. Couldn’t have asked for more! Highly recommend.

Lovely food great service, sadly drove past yesterday and they have closed 😢

Lovely food, good service and fair prices.

My daughter took me here. Shes been before. I loved it. Food, service and environment are all excellent

Great food, great service. First time in Dorking and made the right choice coming here. Feels and tastes authentic and takes a while to get cooked which is more of a reassurance of fresh ingredients. Would come again if ever came to Dorking!

Absolutely Amazing food The service is top class Highly recommended A proper Italian restaurant 😋 👌

Reminded us of our trips to Capri and Sicily. The bruschetta was the best.

Wonderful food, great service and beautiful decor. Can't fault it would happily eat there again and again

Great food and friendly service.

Amazing food, everything we ordered was great, will come again

Excellent meal, great service, good ambience, good value. First class all round!

Good food - Good service. Dorking is lacking places like this, so it definitely stands out.
