Our menu selections consisted of pizza, meatballs (appetizer) and wine. Our server was cheerful, affable, attentive and competent. The food was well-prepared, the wine selections paired nicely with our dishes. All in all an excellent dining experience.

We came here for an intimate work dinner for 8 (with a reservation), and it was absolutely perfect. They had a perfect table for us separated from most other tables. Danny was our server and was so attentive! He made great suggestions for the group, kept our water and other glasses full, and gave us the exact amount of time to enjoy dining and just causally talking! Food was phenomenal. Location is great. Will definitely do this again for a group dinner! Thanks to the whole team, but specially Danny who was THE BEST!

This was my first visit to Aria, but will not be the last. Our server was very helpful and friendly, the food was great, and the prices were spot on. Plus, it is very close to the Benedum Center. What more could I ask for?

They just opened for lunch during weekdays and was our first visit for lunch (been there for dinner a few times). Great experience. Had a pizza and a salad to share with my wife. Prices feel a tad high, especially for the salad during lunch, but you get quality food and service (you want cheap counter service, go to Fuel or Inizzio). Great additional option in SouthEnd for lunch.
