Probably a 3.5 with the disclaimer that I came here for a work dinner, so we had a large(30-ish) party in one of the private rooms upstairs. Our dinner started off with passed appetizers, which I’d rate«ok». In particular the meatballs were terribly dry and rubbery. An open bar with attentive service helped though. Our group had a limited menu to pick from so I’m keeping that in mind because I’m sure there are more interesting/creative dishes available than what we had to pick from. My starter was a Caesar salad which was«ok» — it was unevenly dressed(the dressing was really thick and parts of the salad had none while other areas were all dressing). For a main, I went with the roasted chicken which was really, really good — crisp skin, moist meat and good seasoning. It’s hard to make chicken for a group but Aria nailed it. Dessert was a vanilla cheesecake which was«meh» for me — nothing special but certainly not bad. Our servers were really nice but probably could have used another pair of hands to keep drinks refilled and plates cleared. I think Aria is probably best for a party of 6 or less and I’d happily return to check them out in that context.

Wow! Really enjoyed our dinner… the home made bread was wonderful, the soup delicious, the baked Brie spectacular, and the filet mignon really delicious… We chose the restaurant because our guest was vegan and they had some great vegan options on the menu… the bean cake and kale salad were very tasty… For desert the fruit cup satisfied but the crème Brule was poetry The house is lovely and the tables and chairs comfortable… we sat in a conservatory room and the setting was quite charming. We will return!

Great place! Michael and his staff are exceptional, not only is the food amazing, Michael’s taste in wine is fantastic and it reflects in the wine list. I’ve eaten at Aria numerous times and even had them host my companies christmas work party. Can’t wait to eat there again! Dorian Childs

We have always been curious about this place. The outside looks very nice and the inside looks very intimate. The food selection is very nice. I tried on their summerlicious menu and overall have enjoyed everything. The food was a tad bit salty but is still enjoyable

Had a great group dining experience here last night. The waiters were all extremely professional, attentive and helpful and the food was incredible. For hors d’ourves the pulled pork sliders with apple coleslaw are a must! We had a set menu because of the group function and everyone seemed pretty happy with their choices. I had the seabass as my main and raspberry crème brûlée for dessert — I would rate both 4⁄5. As for the décor, it is quite lovely and the private dining area is great for groups of 30 or less. They have a fireplace in the private room as well as an 80″ tv which was perfect for projecting our presentation from. Overall a very nice experience and I would definitely recommend.

Please, please, please … if you’re a waiter, button up your shirt so that your big chest hairs aren’t hanging out. Our waiter here had his shirt buttoned up only half way and a massive hairy chest was showing. I completely lost my appetite and wanted to barf even before I was served. Also, the waiter offered everyone at our table wine except for me. I completely felt as though I was invisible. I would never recommend this place and I will never return.

Visited Aria a week ago Friday for a corporate dinner with several of our sales reps and 7 of our vendor partners from the US. Our Marketing coordinator had set up the dinner in advance for us. This is a renovated establishment in North Brampton but definitely had the feel of a restaurant that you could find in Yorkville. We had a pre fixe menu that gave us a nice spread of options. I opted for the baked brie appetizer, filet mignon entrée and raspberry crème brulee for dessert. Everyone loved the options selected and sampled a bit of everything because it all looked so appetizing. I was very impressed with all the offerings. It really bodes well when your clients from out of town has nothing but compliments for the restaurant selection. The staff at Aria was absolutely amazing. Very friendly and knew everything about the menu. The owner also did more than just walk by to ask if everything was fine. Towards the end of the night, he took the time to sit with us and talk to us about his new restaurant and ask us our thoughts about everything from the wine and food to the antique Royal Dalton china they had used for the coffee/tea service with personalized pastries to finish off the evening. All in all it was a great experience. Definitely worth a return visit!
