Aromi, the family-run Sicilian eaterie with branches on Peas Hill and Bene’t Street, has built up an army of fans in the city for its tasty Italian treats. It’s so popular that it’s not unusual to see queues out the door and spilling out onto the street at the weekend. So it’s happy news then, that the owners will soon be opening the doors to their third outpost in the city, this time on the Grafton Centre side of town on Fitzroy Street.
Aromi number three will offer all the favourites from its tempting menus including perfect pizza slices, home-made foccacia and spianata (just as crusty, but thinner than foccacia), delicious arancini and Sicilian coffee. As well as Aromi’s famed mini pasticceria, customers will also be able to sample delicacies including traditional tiramisu, cannoli and pistachio cake.
During the warmer months, they’ll be offering Aromi’s much-loved gelato too, made using a family recipe with mouth-watering flavours including Sicilian lemon, pistachio, mandorlato (using roasted almonds) and hazelnut.
“We’ve had a fantastic response to news of Aromi opening in Fitzroy Street,” says co-owner Francesco Genovese. “Residents are excited about having freshly made Italian specialities on their doorstep and local businesses view us as a great addition to the retail offering in and around The Grafton Centre.”
