Aromi
5-Course Playful Italian Tasting Event
Just a year and a half old, this Summerville eatery was recently named to Eater's list of "Best Italian Restaurants in Vegas." Executive Chef and Founder German Castellanos was born in Honduras and came to the U.S. to earn enough money to return to his home country and become a deejay. He got a job as a dishwasher, and the next thing he knew, he was hooked on the restaurant world. He began cooking at a series of restaurants, working his way up to a sous chef position at Posto in Los Angeles, where he cooked under James Beard Award-winning chef Luciano Pellegrini and honed his craft. As his talent became increasingly recognized, he was offered the opportunity to helm Valentino at the Venetian, where, as Chef de Cuisine, he played an integral role in its acclaimed 12-year run. With Aromi, he has realized his dream of having his own restaurant, serving exquisite versions of classic Italian dishes like lasagna, pollo marsala, cioppino, risotto, and more. "A love letter to Italian cuisine," raves Eater, while Las Vegas Weekly says Aromi “checks all the boxes."
