Reviews for Aldo's Italian Kitchen in Alexandria, VA

Low-key, friendly little spot with efficient service and excellent food. The garlic bread they bring to the table is absolutely... delicious, the wine list is shockingly inexpensive for this area, and entree portions are large. I?ve also been by for lunchsandwiches a few times and they are both huge and delicious. My only regret is that we waited this long to visit for dinner. Wewill be back! Read more

This is a little hidden gym! For an authentic taste of Italy ???????? try Aldo's Italian Kitchen and always expect a warm... Italian greeting by Aldo's owner Emanuele Cognetti who is ALWAYS working to prepare some mouthwatering delicacies. My personalfavorite is the Fettuccine with Portebello - Sautéed mushrooms served with fettuccine pasta, artichokes, herbs, garlic oil. Ihave a hard time ordering anything else. ???? Read more

We were in the area over the weekend and decided to try this place based on the reviews. It was a pleasant experience. The... service was great and the food was even better. I had the chicken piccata with pasta and my partner ordered the lasagna. Theybrought ice water to the table as soon as we sat down and finished our meal off with a few complimentary bite sized pieces ofbrownie. Would definitely recommend this place if you are ever in the area. Read more

Parking is tricky, but who cares...it's worth it...Excellent quality ingredients and portions are huge. We walked in and the... owner in the kitchen, waved at us, as if, he'd known us all of his life. He also greeted us at the door as we were leaving, andask if we enjoyed our meal. He just seems to be a great human being. Great food, atmosphere and portions. If You're in oraround DC and you love Italian food...THIS. IS. THE. PLACE. Read more

Recommended by staff at a near hotel and am I so very glad they did. This place is amazing. The owner greats you at the door... like family. It's decorated with family photos and feels like you are in someone's home. The food knocked my socks off. Betterthan the places in old Town that are far more expensive. It was very reasonably priced and the chicken pesto pasta was the bestpesto sauce I have ever had. Margarita pizza was fantastic also. Will definitely be back when I travel to the area. Read more

When I saw wow, I mean WOW! This place has really really good food, I ordered one of the specials with scallops and it was... perfect. The prices are fair and the garlic bread is the best I?ve ever had! (And not to toot my own horn, but I?ve eaten a lotof garlic bread.) I would recommend this place to anyone, I?ll probably be back for lunch tomorrow. Read more

Definitely recommend Aldos to anyone looking for a great dinner experience. My family and I were greeted at the door by the... owner, Emanuele, and were treated like long time customers. The food is fresh and delicious. I will be sure to go out of my wayto patronize their establishment and recommend others to do the same. Read more
