Aldo's Ristorante

I’ve been to Aldo’s in the past and it has always been good. Unfortunately they have become one of those places that take the money and have forgotten about service and atmosphere. We had reservations and they did not have a table available for us. We were not the only ones. They heavily overbooked the restaurant and had not excuse and didn’t even appear to be sorry for not having our table. All kinds of excuses. People were sitting on top of each other, and they didn’t have the staff to handle it. We were lucky enough that seats at the bar opened up as we were standing there deciding whether to leave or not. The bar tender was good, but taking care of the entire restaurant. Needless to say, it was over 3 hours to get out of there. I see why the reviews and ratings are going in the wrong direction. Owners getting greedy.

This place has incredible ambiance, perfect for a special date, and the staff is warm and welcoming. I was immediately taken with how beautiful it is here.

The Incident: I arrived with a group and immediately notified the host of my mollusk allergy (clams, oysters, abalone). He assured me they could accommodate. An hour later, after only amazing bread rolls and a glass of wine, I still had no safe food. Out of hunger and against the waiter's direct warning not to share my friends' food, I tried a small amount of vegetables, mashed potatoes, and steak.

The Result: I had to abruptly excuse myself to take Claritin and Benadryl as I felt the slow onset of anaphylaxis. The waiter was honestly vigilant in his warning—the failure lay in the kitchen's execution and protocols.

The Verdict: My friends adored their meals, but the cross-contamination risk is extreme. Unlike stricter kitchens in NY/NJ, here "if you order food that isn't seafood, you are still eating seafood." For anyone without allergies, it's a great spot. For anyone with a seafood allergy, I implore you to dine elsewhere. The risk is simply not worth it 🦪.

We've eaten here a few times now & always enjoy ourselves. This time we were celebrating some medical milestones & dropped in for a quick lunch, although mostly we come for dinner. Lunch was good. Great drinks, great menu, and a fun time. I really love the patio furniture here, even though we typically eat indoors.

Delicious food! I had the beef tenderloin over fettuccine with mushrooms and Deglaze sauce. Great portion size too. I ate 2 more meals off my left overs. Service was excellent! Dessert was to die for, Dubi chocolate and vanilla ice cream. The coconut ice cream was also a big hit 😋 Can’t wait to go back.

My friend and I stopped by this wonderful establishment to celebrate a big win for her and decided to go with appetizers and drinks! We were not disappointed at all with the food selection or the drinks we had! There are vegetarian options which all of the appetizers we did get were vegetarian friendly!

The service was phenomenal also. Our server was attentive. Definitely a great place to stop in and grab a quick bite or have dinner! The restaurant is also beautifully decorated!
