    My wife and I dined at Aldo's for our anniversary. We had reservations and were seated immediately. Our server was James and he was very knowledgable regarding the menu and wine selection, attentive to our needs, and most charming. I had the Romanelli alla Vodka and it was excellent in quality and quantity. My wife had the shrimp scampi and it was excellent as well. The restaurant was very busy, probably due to pre-Christmas diner groups so all the tables were completely full. We were seated in a window table adjacent to a table with party of five women. They were having a great time visiting but the result was pretty loud. Though it is understandable it was a bit irritating and detracted from an otherwise wonderful dining experience. Aldo's remains one of our favorite restaurants in Virginia Beach.

    The food was wonderful as usual. Our waiter wasn't attentive. We went without drink refills because the waiter had several tables including a large party. We had to flag him down if we needed something sometimes without success. He seemed hurried and impatient. This is the first time we haven't had excellent service in all the years we've been dining with Aldos.

    We love going here once a month on Friday nights. We go early to miss the crowd. With so many tables available you would think we would get a half way decent table but instead we were assigned to a table right by the door. I had already refused a table and requested a booth so I didn’t want to bother again. In addition the waiter must have been new. Didn’t offer bread that is normally offered. In addition when the order was brought out one was incorrect and had to be returned/remade. We can overlook the waiter problems but the table assignment really bothers me.

    Fantastic gem for friendly, upscale, tasty Italian food and wine. Menu is broad based and each dish is wonderful, weather shrimp gorgonzola, pizza or pasta. Wine list is extensive with nice gems while having a wide set of price ranges. Servers are trained, friendly, helpful and enthusiastic. Best creme brulee in Tidewater!

    We are regulars at Aldo's and have never had a bad experience. The food is excellent, the service is outstanding and the ambience is welcoming. If you are a wine lover and are looking to enhance your meal with a glass of a bottle, Aldo's has a very well curated cellar. Most importantly, the staff is knowledgable and we've found their recommendations spot on.

    At one point, I complained that Aldo’s was always the same and predictable. As I get older and see how other restaurants wreck themselves with “change”, I’ve learned to appreciate the consistency of the people and menu at Aldo’s. You will always get a great venue to enjoy the meal, you’ll always get the same consistency in the menu, freshly prepared in a northern Italian style, with innovative specials. On this occasion our server, “Jerry”, represented the usual professional and knowledgeable server Aldo’s is known for. If you want feedback in wine, Aldo’s invests in their staff to go through Sommelier training so that the staff can give credible recommendations. I like to go early, because the establishment can take on some energy and activity later in the night.
