Occupying the street-level space of a mixed-use turn-of-the-century building on a main commercial street in South Pasadena, this casual South American restaurant boasts an inviting interior with a contemporary
flair.

The design ethos of Aro is a harmonious blend of traditional and modern elements. The bar, a focal point of the restaurant, is adorned with traditional motifs set against colorful backgrounds. The main dining space, on the other hand, seamlessly blends traditional colors and patterns with modern materials and industrial fixtures, creating a unique and recognizable ambiance suitable for all types of diners.
