To which the server said, “There is no manager on staff today.” Then it gets from bad to worse, my friend telling him that she did not like his attitude and she will not pay to be so disrespected and he cursed at her in Italian saying “Va fa….o”. My friend then asked to speak to a manager. My friend then said, “You should have informed us.” He then looked at me and said, “I thought you knew as you had been here before.” I told him that I had not been there in a year. The server explained that the special was a different price than the menu. When the bill came, each risotto was double the price of the one on the menu.

This time we asked another server, explaining that since we were the only ones in the restaurant, why could not the music be changed or lowered? So he did it. This server had an attitude from the get-go. He brushed me off saying that it would change in a while. The music was very loud “Led Zepplin-ish”, so I kindly asked our Italian waiter if he could put on something “piu delicata” - softer, more delicate. In fact, we were the only customers when we entered. He was fabulous! Yesterday I suggested Aria to a friend, saying how cute and cozy it was, the food good, and during off hours -it was 4:30pm- it would be nice and quiet. We used to come to Aria often, especially when there. My husband and I frequent restaurants of all sorts, including many 4 star Michelin restaurants around the world. I live down the block from Aria Wine Bar. This review is for Roberto Passon, the owner. Sushi Restaurants for Lunch in Murray Hill.Italian Restaurants in Financial District.
