Review from David G.

We found Aldo's on Yelp during a visit to Cleveland and were not disappointed. The food was outstanding and the service was excellent!
We stopped for a late lunch at an odd time...mid-afternoon on a weekday, and we were the only customers in the place. We found it to be very quaint and it felt much like some of the small family-run restaurants we have visited in Italy.
The salads were very fresh and the house dressing was tasty. The bread tasted like it was just from the oven. The entrees we ordered, lasagna and angel hair prima vera, were both delicious, and we split them so that we could each enjoy both. The sauces in both dishes seemed home-made, the portion sizes were just perfect, and the prima vera pasta was loaded with a variety of fresh vegetables. For dessert we ordered the spumoni and pistachio gelato, and both of them were also fabulous!
The waiter was very attentive and struck up a friendly conversation with us, since we were his only customers. We couldn't have been happier with our choice of eating establishments....we probably haven't had Italian food this good since we were in Italy! -

So glad I listened to Yelp! This place is indeed a gem. Great food, good service, and a pleasant experience overall. Also, they were great abt our 2 year old and if you get an entree it comes with a side of pasta that is perfect for toddlers! I loved the bread, salad and chicken marsala. My husband devoured the lasagna and also enjoyed the Italian wedding soup. The owner came by and offered the kid a little ice cream treat for being so good in the restaurant. She is a big fan of Aldo! :) we are too.

The food was excellent and authentic, the service was quick and friendly. Most people will not be disappointed. Ask for the Wedding Soup (it's not on the menu).

Went on a Tuesday night, they lost our reservation, but apparently it wasn't a problem at 6pm. Later at 8pm they were packed.
The place is tiny, and you can tell they've been there 25 yrs because the staff knows exactly how to make the tiny space work.
My group tried several appetizers, ban peppers were truly spicy, stuffed mushrooms delicious and pesto pizza was just ok, the crust didn't seem homemade.
However dinner was fabulous, salads and house dressing all fresh. Homemade lasagna takes them all- that marinara! Veal Piccata was delicious, one of the best I've had- only could have used a few more capers.
Dessert was our favorite, pistachio gelato, and I had a gelato layered mix of banana, choc and vanilla with bits of dried fruit. WOW!
Reasonably priced for homemade italian dishes...we found the place from an article in Smithsonian magazine.
Good for any type of group, business, friends, family and kids.
Enjoy! -

Great food and great service. We stopped by an hour and a half before they were supposed to open, but the owner was there and let us in. Felt very welcome and ate lots of homemade Italian food.

Great little restaurant! The food is very good..tastes homemade. The service is great..my only complaint is that the bar is very limited to wine and basic beer..so don't expect a fancy drink here. Although, the owner did give our entire party of 8 a complimentary liquore at the end of our meal. The space is very tight so don't go hear if you want to have a very intimate conversation..but it reminds of lots of little Nyc restaurants where you sit shoulder to shoulder. Love the place! Food is authentic Italian..I say try it!
Oh, and we went there one night in the summer and turned out they were going to close because the power was out..I was so disappointed that they offered to set us up a table on the sidewalk out front and serve us there or inside by candlelight..which we chose since the front is not too appealing. Well..once others saw us in there, they came in and the place ended up packed in the pitch dark! We had a fun time! If that doesn't say the place is good, I don't know what does if we all willing to eat there in the dark! Ha. The owners and staff are real troopers!! -

Great little quaint restaurant. Authentic Italian. I was referred to this place by a friend of mine. She said it was, "the best" Italian place in Cleveland. Well, I have to say, it's very good. BUT if I were to do a throwdown between the marinara sauce at Aldo vs. the marinara sauce at La Dolce Vita in Little Italy, La Dolce Vita has the better marinara sauce. Still, the quaint atmosphere and Italian vinaigrette and service at Aldo's make it a special dining experience. Next time we go back we'll try one of the specials and possibly a seafood dish.

Love it! Best Alfredo I have ever had. Their house dessert is out of this world too! Also, I enjoyed the small family style atmosphere! Nice place for date or family lunch or dinner!

Ate at Aldo's with family for dinner. The restaurant itself was on the small side with not a huge number of tables. It was completely family run. Our server was in a family picture right behind the table. The service was impeccable.
For appetizers we had the stuffed mushrooms along with an order of the Sausage/Onion & Peppers W/fresh tomato sauce. Both were absolutely fantastic. They are must tries. For my main course, I had the Veal Sicilian. It was served fresh out of the oven. While the veal was of decent quality, it was very thin. They used a lot of sauce and mushrooms. A little more meat would be nice, but it was still excellent.
Everybody in our party of 8 was impressed. I would strongly recommend Aldo's for anyone who is a fan of authentic, southern Italian food. I will certainly be dining there again soon! -

I'm almost reluctant to write a review, because this is the best kept secret in Cleveland! Coming from an Italian family I can say this is 100% authentic Italian food, the best in Cleveland hands down. Service is as wonderful as the food. Come hungry!
