My friend and I wandered in here for dinner and had the most wonderful time. Mark was such a treat from beginning to end and made phenomenal recommendations. The minestrone, kale salad, truffle mashed potatoes, and lobster ravioli were out of this world!! We will absolutely be back this summer!

Mark was amazing!! My friend and I stumbled in after a broadway show and were greeted by Mark right away. He gave fabulous recommendations and we enjoyed chatting with him between courses. The minestrone soup and kale salad were two of my favorite things we ordered!! We can’t wait to come back and try more pasta dishes. We also ordered the lobster ravioli and they were to die for. Thank you Aria & Mark!!

Amazing appetizer selection for sharing with a group before a night at the theater— we loved the pear salad, burrata, and grilled octopus special. I ordered linguine with clams for my main, which was a perfectly sized portion (not too big and heavy). The atmosphere was cozy on a cold winter night, and I’m glad to recommend it as a great option before a show!

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

Amazing atmosphere and service. Such a cozy environment for a winter day. The manager is takes personal interest in the diners which makes the place even more welcoming. The rest of the staff are all wonderful, fast, and friendly. All the food is freshly made and is terrific!! 5/5.

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!

Every time we come here we have an excellent experience. There is no bad choice on the menu. The rotating specials are delicious and the pasta staples never fail. Mark and team are so warm and friendly. He came by to make conversation and check on how we were doing throughout the night. Cannot recommend enough!

We were headed to another place, but Aria's outdoor seating and atmosphere was so inviting. The mango goat cheese salad was incredible; very thinly sliced mango delicately arranged around a bed of greens topped with a circle of goat cheese that was crisp on the outside, but soft on the inside. The special on the 4th was a flat homemade noodle with lamb in sauce with a crisp sprig of rosemary. Each bite was melt in your mouth incredible along with a glass of red that the waiter recommended. Tiramisu that was fluffy and creamy made for a perfect end to our meal. The staff were welcoming, polite and attentive, and yet gave us plenty of privacy to enjoy our meal. This will be without a doubt the best Italian meal I will eat in the next 10 years.

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!

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.
