Aldo's Restaurant

James Pilarczyk

I could keep this short and simply state that this was, hands down, one of the best dining experiences of my entire life, but I will go into some detail about what made our first visit so special and memorable. First impressions on walking in were "cozy and feels like home". It's a small dining area which made me glad I made reservations. The only empty table was the one waiting for us. That's a great thing to see when a place has no empty tables! Upon being seated the staff was very friendly and welcoming, like we'd been there many times before, which was nice. The next thing my wife and I noticed were the family photos all over the wall. Not generic artwork that is attempting to make the place feel authentic(we all know those places). Nothing is more authentic than photos of the family and people that founded the place and getting to see where the food experience you are about to embark on comes from....I loved that. We even got to meet the people in the kitchen that make the magic happen, and they were happy to come out and tell us who was in a photo and where it was taken. The next thing to "wow" was the fresh bread brought to our table(multiple times cause we couldn't stop eating it ha), it was perfect. I couldn't find a thing I would change about the bread. Then the Italian wedding soup came..... WOW! I was speechless while eating it. I will be afraid to order wedding soup from anywhere else because I know it wouldn't compete. The main courses were as amazing. My red sauce seafood linguini was mesmerizing, and the presentation on the plate was that of a 5-star place. The drinks were tasty and a cultural experience too. Overall, my wife and feel that if we are feeling Italian and don't wanna cook ourselves, we're going back to Aldo's. I can't wait to try the entire menu and fully expect to visit enough to try everything there is to try. On a funny note, my wife and I lived in the apartments across the street for two years and never went....wow were we missing out! The drive across town is so worth it though.

What a great dining experience! The food was the best Italian I have had maybe ever! Right down to the taste and texture of the pasta!! We had a large bday party and the place is small but it worked out perfectly and the kindness and service was the best! Thank you!!

Tonight my fiance and I stopped at a local small restaurant. This restaurant is one of those hidden gems in Brooklyn Ohio. The man who opened this restaurant immigrated from Italy and had a passion for cooking. He has since passed away and his son now owns and operates the restaurant. The food is Italian and damn is it good! The decor was full of pictures of his family, the picture I remember the most is the one of his grandmother standing on a stool stirring a pot. If you're ever in the area and like Italian please stop by and support them. The pictures are of their house salad with their homemade house dressing. Ken had the Lasagna and I had Veal Saltimbocca. For dessert we had a piece of Lemon Mars Marscapone cake.

Great food, there was a wait, but we understood why due to the fresh, authentic ingredients. This food was made with lots of love. I look forward to coming back. The staff was Amazing & the food came out speedily. Oh yes and the house salad is a must.
