Aida's is by far my favorite place to spend time with close friends and family. The owners and staff make sure the entire experience from start to finish is a time to remember. While the exceptional food and wine pairings is a story in itself, it is the moments I get to talk with the owners and staff that has become one of the things that both me and my family greatly appreciate.

This luncheon was wonderful in so many ways. We were the only table being served for lunch at that time. And having the uninterrupted time to spend with Mary, reminiscing about the impact that she and Joe have had on the Howard County. We all ordered pasta plates to celebrate the original homemade "star" of Aida. Ray and Joa BonGiorni Elizabeth Henzey

Extremely loud and not much ambiance. Mahi was good but the linguini was flavorless. My pork porterhouse was cooked fine but sauce was sickeningly sweet. I think this place is trying to be high end but doesn’t have the food or atmosphere to get there.
