    Aldo's is a beautiful and comfortable restaurant with such a friendly staff. Our server, Hannah, was perfect! She took excellent care of us and , along with the absolutely delicious chicken parmesan and the lobster pasta entrees, really helped make this an outstanding dining experience, Our creme brulee to-go finished off the meal superbly. Thanks so much!

    Had not been to Aldo’s in years. Overall things were good, Despite one order coming out incorrectly (even after confirming specific requests—no onion and dressing on side). Waiter didn’t check on table for a bit so guest went ahead and ate. They did offer to remedy the situation and did take off the bill.

    I hate leaving a negative review for Aldo’s because I’ve always loved this place, but our latest visit was extremely disappointing. Our party of four was squeezed into a corner next to two parties of eight, all served by the same waiter with no apparent assistance. To his credit, he was positive, professional, and attentive at first. Once the larger parties arrived, though, he was clearly stretched too thin. We didn’t even place our meal orders until 45 minutes after arriving. Drinks were slow, water glasses sat empty, and when our food finally arrived, three of the four meals were lukewarm at best. We didn’t send them back because, after the wait we’d already had, we weren’t willing to wait any longer. How can one waiter reasonably take care of 20 people without help? This felt like a staffing and management failure, and our table seemed to become an afterthought once the larger groups arrived. One bad experience doesn’t erase the good visits we’ve had, but this one was frustrating enough to make us seriously question whether we’ll return. We expected much better from Aldo’s.

    Food was great! Service was great. The shrimp Gorgonzola was fantastic as was the beef short ribs with risotto. Dessert: peach cobbler was delicious.
