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!

Lovely patio

It was a great evening to enjoy Aria's new patio. It's a lovely space but unfortunately close to a busy street, hence the noise. Our server was very young but adequate (we had to ask about specials & she didn't know much about the wine). The food was very good but not exceptional. We started with the caprese salad , the mozarella was good but the basil was hardly there & since it is tomato... more

Impeccable Service, Food, Elegance

An old house converted into a restaurant. Loved the etched windows. Distracts from the busy street but lets light in. Celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary here. Was a Sunday eve. and there was only one other table occupied but we were seated far enough away to feel private. Expensive but elegant and suitable for such a special occasion;were treated to a delicious dessert to mark the event.... more

Exceptional dinning experience

From the moment we walked in, my wife and I were treated as if we were regulars. It was our 1st time there. The staff was very courteous and friendly. Our server was great and the food outstanding. When I got the bill, I was pleasantly surprised. I was expecting a bill over $200 but it was well short of that. Needless to say, our server was left a very handsome tip. Our experience was... more

Enthusastic staff awful food

To put things into perspective, this restaurant was rated number 1 of 540 restaurants in Brampton, so I had relatively high expectations. That was definitely a mistake in judgement. The staff though very enthusiastic and very friendly was just as equally unskilled. Forgiving their inexperience would have been quite easy if the food was at all remarkable. It wasn't. The food was bland and... more

Summerlicious & almost delicious

I don't want to give a bad review because Aria Bistro has great service. The menu items ordered around us looked great. Presentation was nice, but 3 of the 6 Summerlicious items we had had room for improvement. My brie appetizer was not warm and gooey in the middle, too big a block of cheese for that, but the pastry and blueberry coulis were perfect. The calamari had no seasoning, & the roasted... more

Great once again

Food was wonderful service was Great (except for wine refills - did myself) and we were only ones there!Wonderful place

Best Kept Secret in Brampton!

While Aria Bistro & Lounge is not new to the area, the new team at Aria are without a doubt "outstanding" ! Michael and his team have taken dining in Brampton to a new level. Whether your a local, or just visiting the area, Aria has to go on your "must" list! From the home-made bread, that simply melts in your mouth and is salted to perfection, to the amazing menu, Aria brings it all together!... more

Always Exceptional!

Service, atmosphere, and food always excellent whenever I go to Aria.
I love that it's a classy foodie option here in the GTA when one is tired of making the trek to Toronto for dining options.

Aria is a dining Gem in Brampton

I have been to Aria on 10 occasions since they opened last year. From romantic dinners for 2, dinners with friends and family, Christmas groups lunches and dinner, and business celebrations - they have all been excellent in terms of service and food quality. And this latest dinner with my husband was no exception when we sampled their Summerlicious offering. Well done and thanks to Michael and... more

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

Wanted to enjoy our trip to Aria

We saw this lovely old house and thought it looked like a great setting for a restaurant and the new patio looked beautiful from the street, so we decided to give it a try. There was no one there to greet us when we arrived, but finally were seated, the place was empty and the tablecloth had a stain on it. We were seated by the window, which had a nice view but lots of dust and cobwebs. When... more

Review for Aria Bistro

We took my cousin and his wife for his birthday. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. They went out of their way to get us anything we wanted. The food was absolutely delicious and nicely presented also the ambience was outstanding. Michael paid attention to us and we appreciate that very much.
I would recommend Aria very highly. Our 35th wedding anniversary is coming up this weekend... more

bread is awesome!

So was everything else! Found you on Tripadvisor and will definitely come back. Their patio is very nice for outdoor dining.

Lovely new restaurant in Brampton

Enjoyed a lovely Father's Day lunch on the patio. Great food, great service. The best restaurant in Brampton.

The food was good - not great. But the facility is not accessible. There are stairs into the restaurant and no bathroom on the main floor. I have trouble walking upstairs therefor I could not access the washrooms. Because of this we will not return.

Almost flawless.

The food was great. The Calamari was typically battered with a melt-in-your-mouth texture and paired with a delicious lime aioli.I had a horseradish encrusted NY striploin. I requested it to be cooked to rare but it turned out to be closer to medium-rare. Still very tasty.My Mom (this was a Mother's Day treat) had the cajun chicken pasta which left something to be desired in the sauce. It... more

All-round delicious

Although a little pricy for eating here on a regular basis, it is the perfect place for a special evening - we celebrated our 10th anniversary here. The atmosphere is warm & welcoming, the staff were fast & friendly, and the food was very tasty (and filling).

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 creme brûlée for dessert - I... more

A diamond in the rough

Brampton is not known for it's fine dining!! But I've lived in Brampton for 20 years and only now have I found something special. This place is beyond words, you just have to taste it for yourself. The price is high, but so worth it!! I plan on trying everything on the menu, 1 visit at a time!!

The definition of EXCELLENCE

Honestly, I didn't have the highest expectations when I made the reservation. Best restaurant in Brampton? The bar isn't that high. But let me tell you, Michael Cherry and his entire staff at Aria are dedicated to providing the best dining experience anywhere. Please don't tell him this, but he should be charging more in some pretentious spot in TO.... more

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... more

Aria = Excellence

Michael Cherry and staff at Aria are dedicated to providing the best dining experience anywhere. Michael has taken a lovely old home, updated it while keeping the bones of the building and just making it beautiful. He has talented chefs, personable and efficient waitstaff, and then there's Michael--everywhere--checking on everything.Open Table doesn't give enough space for an in depth review.... more

Great place to celebrate a birthday

Food was impressive, robust wine list, and a delicious chocolate bread pudding dessert. I will be back.

Fine dinning best

Top notch consistent food and service. This hidden gem may just be the best restaurant in Brampton. I have been to this restaurant twice and will be going again. I have recommended friends and they loved it just as much as I have. Aria is a wonderful restaurant with delicious food, great atmosphere and friendly service. Although this is fine... more

Perfect! Perfect! Perfect

We celebrated our parents' 39th wedding anniversary at Aria in February. For the first time ever, every single member of our extremely critical family LOVED Aria's food, service, ambiance...it was truly a perfect evening. As soon as we entered, it felt like a true home. We were welcomed whole-heartedly by the bartender, then seated by a server with impeccable professionalism.... more

Confirmed! #1 restaurant in Brampton

My wife and I and another couple tried Aria during Winterlicious on a set short list of appetizers, entries and desserts. The choices were such that you couldn't make a bad decision. All four of us tried different dishes to taste and test and the restaurant even offered to make a filet mignon to provide even a greater variety. All... more

Buffalo visits Brampton

I traveled to Brampton from Buffalo for a business meeting/lunch. I was very impressed with the quality of the menu,food, & service. I plan on making a return visit with my wife.

Fantastic Restaurant wish it was in Vancouver, BC

We had our parants 50th Wedding Anniversary celabration at Aria and found out pretty quickly we could not have choosen a better place to celabrate it. We had a large group of 50 people and I dont think I've experienced better service anywhere from the moment we walked in until the time that we left.
The meal was outstanding! The... more

US Visitor amazed

Last week I had the pleasure of attending a business meeting at Aria. I am in the 3rd week of my New Years diet resolution and frankly have tried to actively stay away from business lunches in order to stay on the diet. I was delightfully surprised by the flexibility of the staff and most importantly their ability to produce... more

you can't go wrong

tried their Kobe burger with melted onions, aged orange cheddar on a housemade (as they call) pretzel bun....wonderful experience.

Excellent Experience

I have been here a few times now, with family, with clients, with friends. The meals alone are always outstanding. If that is not enough we are greeted by a wonderful atmosphere along with excellent service and a host who is clearly passionate about what he does..... I really can say that every time I go here I feel like... more

Amazing place

Was at the friend's wedding at Aria Bistro and Lounge.
Such a wonderful place! Warm family atmosphere, delicious food!
Many thanks to Michael the owner and his team for unforgettable evening.
Definitely will bring my friends and family to enjoy it.

What a joy

We just had our xmas eve dinner at asia bistro, what a great experience! From Michael the owner to our waiter Arie, to automosphere, to mostly, the delicious food! Definitely will come back!

Renee

We were 35 yesterday night at Aria....Food, Service and the staff are just amazing. The owner is extremely nice with customer. A place to go.....don't miss it!!!!!!

Fantastic service and meal

We had the pleasure of dining at Aria Bistro & Lounge.
As soon as we entered the restaurant we were pleasantly greeted and offered our choice of tables.
Danny (our waiter) seated us at an intimate table and asked if it was our first visit, which it was.
Danny made recommendations regarding appetizers, entrees and specials, and then delivered freshly... more

Above and Beyond

We recently had the complete pleasure of booking one of the private rooms upstairs at Aria Restaurant in Brampton which they have recently renovated for one of our business dinner meetings. We were experiencing some technical issues during set up for a powerpoint presentation that we had planned, which was never the restaurant's fault but which would have resulted in... more

Very nice dining experience

My wife and I had our first visit to Brampton from Kirtland, Ohio. Before a show at the Rose Theatre we dined at Aria. It was a great experience from the moment we entered and were greeted by the owner. We split the Cesar salad and had Brie as an appetizer - both we're excellent. We had the filet and... more

Amazing! A culinary delight

Sorry that "UnbiasedOne" had so many negatives to impart in his review of Aria, however in comparing it to all of the other reviews it would seem like a case of sour grapes!
My family & I have dined at Aria several times since being taken over by new management. The food is out of this world. We each ordered... more

Okay but nothing to write home about

Yes, new owner, place freshly painted. It actually reminded me of another fine dining place I have frequented, with high quality meals,The Culinaria Rest (Elliott House) in Mississauga. The menu was almost identical as well as the wine list I have ordered from. From the decor right down to the colour of paint looks the same. You could say a... more

Hidden Gem

My expectations were greatly exceeded by this wonderful restaurant. I was surprised by the modern look of the interior of the older house. It has a homey, yet elegant feel. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the entire menu and the ingredients of each dish. We were welcomed with complimentary bruschetta, that was fresh and delicious. My fiancee had... more

New Ownership, Amazing Experience

My family took my fiance and I to Aria to celebrate our recent engagement, thinking the restaurant would be a fancier choice for a once in a while experience. We were literally salivating at the table. The portions were far larger than expected, the flavours were deep, savory and smooth, prices were reasonable for the quality and service, and the... more

The whole package! Intimate setting, great service & awesome food

The atmosphere was intimate, the service was excellent and the food was delicious. We were a party of 6 and we each tried something different from the menu. Great selection for every palate preference. We had the caesar salad, crab cakes, calamari, and mussels starters which were a clear indication only the best ingredients were used. We highly recommend the... more

Excellent food, ambiance and service

Open arrival, I was very happy to see the decor has been updated and modernized. Michael and his staff were prompt with our every request and very accommodating. Bread was hot and unique, food was delicious and fresh. Seven of us dined and all meals were excellent. Since our visit was to celebrate my daughters engagement, I was thrilled when... more

A Wonderful Surprise

My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and wanted to take advantage of a local venue. I was familiar with the location under previous ownership We were more than pleased when we arrived to find that under new ownership, renovations had taken place which hilighted its' rich historic architecture, maintaining its' intimate atmosphere. The menu offered nouveau cuisine with... more

Gastronomic Delight

My wife and I have celebrated our last two anniversary dinners here and were pleasantly surprised when we visited a week ago. Under new ownership and management, interiors have been upgraded to a 'traditional chic' that gives the tip of the hat to the building's rich history and yet feels like a King Street Toronto Bistro.
The Menu has likewise... more

Wonderfully Delicious, Aria Does Not Disappoint

Enjoyed an absolutely wonderful lunch with a colleague at Aria last week. The menu has an excellent selection, from seafood to pasta to beef and more. I enjoyed a baked brie starter followed by a lobster penne, with the pasta a perfect al dente. The food was delicious and every dish was beautifully presented. The portion sizes were generous, and... more

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... more

Really nice place

Great food, prices were very reasonable for the type of restaurant, not your everyday fast food chain here, cozy yet spacious seating, felt more upscale but comfortable. Owner was really great guy and took the time to speak with us. Service was excellent above what we expected. Looking forward to going back again.

Loved the food

I've have eaten here twice recently under the new ownership. The food was excellent both times. The service was a bit slow but this is the type of restaurant where you are supposed to slow down and savour your experience so no complaints about that either. And the server was excellent.

Excellent but expensive

I recently organized a party at the restaurant. They have very prompt and attentive service. The owner Lisa was very accommodating and nice. The food was very tasty. But it was expensive.

Very nice patio

This place has been around for a long time, under different names. The service here is quite good, though the menu needs a facelift. Good food but nothing that really knocks your socks off. They have a great patio that is almost a garden. Tons of parking.

Wonderful Dining Experience

Booked dinner reservations at the Aria Bistro & Lounge for Valentine's Day. Although we have driven by this restaurant countless times we had never eaten here before, but wanted to try a fine dining experience instead of the usual casual eateries in town. The restaurant is located in a century old home and the ambiance reflects its surroundings - dignified... more

Good but expensive

The restaurant looks "stuffy." The food was good, the service was attentive. However, I left there wondering if it was worth the money. At dinner, pasta dishes range from $16 to $22,

Pleasantly Surprised

Our usual Brampton restaurant was booked so we decided to give Aria Bistro a try. We had not been in this restaurant since it was Chez Marie . We were a little taken back when we pulled into the driveway and were the only car on the lot, we were hoping there was a lot of walk in action. This... more
