THE BEST authentic Italian food we’ve ever ate. We visited last July and had to go back. The food is AMAZING, the portions are huge, and the service is like no other. A small place tucked away in Alexandria, VA but they have a huge welcoming presence that will make you feel like family. We just love everything about this place. We will continue to visit when we’re in the area, 2 hours from home.

During our vacation in Alexandria, VA, we decided to check out Aldo’s Italian Kitchen because it was close to the Marriot Hotel and we could walk there. The food was amazing, with perfect bread and delicious pizza. The pasta was cooked just right, and the sauces had fantastic flavors. The service was top-notch too, with the staff being quick, efficient, and super friendly. Don’t let the looks or location fool you, this place is totally worth a visit. We’re really happy we gave it a shot!

The garlic bread is very good and the pistachio cake is also very good. If you go, I recommend both of these, but that’s about it. I got the lasagna and the pasta was way overcooked and it was not very well seasoned. My friend got the chicken parm and he said the same. I also tried my wife’s chicken picatta which had a nice sauce but the chicken was not well prepared and also under seasoned.. We got the first round of garlic bread and was really good and we were hungry, so we ate it quickly and politely asked if we could have some more. They brought out a double order.. we had no idea we were going to be charged for it. It’s fine if they want to charge for it, we thought it was like many other places that simply offers bread. If we knew, we would have only ordered a single most likely. $12 for the bread was a bit of a surprise on the final bill.. The staff and atmosphere were nice. No complaints there, but parking is pretty tricky here. Overall I probably won’t be back as the pros do not outweigh the cons for me…

Great place. Very nice owner and staff. Super great food both for lunch and dinner. Indoor and outdoor seating. Have been multiple times in the past month. Never knew it existed. Lunch specials are very nice. Great prices. Check it out.

A real hidden gem. Probably one of the best Italian places in the area. I can’t believe I only found out about this place after living down the road for the past two years. I’ve had the lobster ravioli special and the Marsala chicken so far. And both were amazing.

First time. Stumbled across the menu for restaurant week and had lots of good reviews so I wanted to check it out. The business was steady which is notable because it is in an office complex on the weekend.

I just moved into town, great hidden gem (at least to me). Took my sister there in her own words she hasn’t had such a great tiramisu since Italy. All around food and service were on point good portions, great price and you can tell that everything is made with love. Will be back many times over.

This place was pretty cute, and I randomly met friends here for Restaurant Week for dinner. Place gets pretty busy on a Saturday night. I had the vegetable soup and grouper with fettuccine. I loved the fish because it was not too soft or hard and the soup was seasoned well. I also had the stuffed mushrooms, cheese bread, and calamari. The calamari could use some more seasoning, but otherwise, everything was great. The sweet wine was bomb, especially because I don’t do tart wine.

Great spot right on Eisenhower. The food was excellent and the staff was very friendly. I had the homemade manicotti and it was fantastic! I’ve ordered pizza from here before as takeout when I stayed at the nearby hotel and it was also very delicious. I would definitely recommend checking this place out.
