Aroma on 3rd

At Aroma On 3rd, if you forget a bottle of wine at home, the servers just give you their reserves. That’s the kind of warm and welcoming place it is. It’s full of regulars who have been coming here for years, like the couples who claim this place as their own, and old ladies making declarations about the youth obsession with “the tick tocky thing in their phones.” The Pennsport restaurant is small and intimate, so you’ll see every plate of pillowy gnocchi, seafood fettuccine, or juicy whole branzino that goes to each table. The food is consistently good, so if you’re indecisive, you could close your eyes, order whatever your finger lands on, and be satisfied. They don’t take reservations online, but you can call ahead. Or just walk in and have an impromptu Italian feast.
