Aromi Jeddah: Gault & Millau Rated Italian Dining at Waldorf Astoria

An Ambitious Italian Kitchen

Aromi - Waldorf Astoria Jeddah presents an ambitious approach to Italian cuisine that has earned a Gault & Millau score of 12.5. The kitchen begins every service with a proper amuse bouche featuring a welcome arancino, hand pressed tapenade, and small breads. This foundational attention to detail carries through to the main courses where ingredients are treated with quiet precision.

Signature Pasta and Dessert

The fettuccine with bay scallops and eggplant purée stands out as a carefully prepared plate with a rich, creamy texture. Guests seeking a sweet finish often order the signature tiramisu served in a glass, which delivers genuine artisanal craftsmanship without unnecessary decoration. The Italian kitchen balances these strong offerings alongside the scaloppine al limone, though the accompanying sauce occasionally overwhelms the citrus notes.

The Music Salon Setting

Visitors take a lift to the second floor to enter a grand dining room designed like a classical music salon. An enormous Murano inspired chandelier hangs above the space while a polished piano rests quietly in one corner. Parquet flooring, fine silver cutlery, and elegant tableware create a refined backdrop for dedicated service. The vast room occasionally holds a gentle stillness that matches the careful pacing of the meal.
