Aroma on 3rd sits on South 3rd Street in Pennsport, drawing its menu from across Italy's regions rather than one part of the country. Dishes lean north with truffles, porcini, and cream-based sauces, move through central Italy with Roman artichokes, puttanesca, and amatriciana, then head south to Naples for tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella, and further to Calabria for spicier cooking.
The restaurant has built a local reputation as a BYOB-friendly date-night spot, with regulars pointing to attentive service and homemade pastas alongside the food. The Infatuation has rated Aroma on 3rd among Philadelphia's Italian restaurants.
