    We recently visited Aromas Del Peru and really had a great lunch. The food was delicious, the servers were attentive, and the atmosphere was lovely. It is on my list of places I could return to any day. We enjoyed a carafe of sangria, it came with dry ice, which really was enjoyable to watch. We enjoy carafes of sangria in almost every restaurant that offers it and that was a first for me. My sons both enjoyed their lomo saltados. The beef was better quality (or cooked better) than many Peruvian restaurants we have visited. My husband enjoyed the seafood chaufa. While he didn’t discuss it’s attributes much, there was nothing left in the end, so I say that was a success! I truly enjoyed the Gnocchis Gratinados Con Mignon Saltado. I usually love the fettuccine in huancaina with lomo saltado but this was better. The gnocci was cooked perfectly and the meat was excellent. We also ordered 2 desserts. I had read the reviews prior to going and noted that cost was frequently mentioned. Honestly, being from Palm Beach county, the prices were quite reasonable and expected for the quality. Our bill with a carafe sangria, 4 entrees, and 2 desserts was ~$186. Just so people have an idea. With that said, I believe the sangria was pricier than anything else. I gave it 5 stars for food, service, and atmosphere but 4 stars for value, even though I am a believer in you get what you pay for.
