Great Local Favorite
Friday, August 31, 2007
One of the things I noticed during our visit to Aldo's was the high number of regular customers. The interchange between the staff and these guests was very special and speaks well of this excellent Italian restaurant.
Arriving at 3:30 pm we were too early for the daily specials (starting around 4:00 pm) but we found the service to be excellent. The Focaccia Bread is prepared to order in their brick oven and seems to be nearly a must . . . I agree. We had the Zucchini Fritti and were pleasantly surprised with small strips of light and flaky battered zucchini. Served with a squirt of lemon and wonderfully fresh and hot marinara sauce, this appetizer was a real treat.
I had the dill salmon which was unusual, but very good. I needed to add a little salt, but that's much better than the reverse. My wife had the Pescatore and was quite pleased. The calamari was tender and all the seafood tasty. For desert, we tried the Banana Chocolate Chip Cake and coffee . . . GREAT CHOICE.
I highly recommend this place, only wishing I had it near my home.
Pros: Great food, atmosphere, and service at a reasonable price.
Cons: hmmm . . . can't think of any.
