A hidden gem!!! The inside décor is very nice, the bar could use a little bit of an update. The owner sat us and was very friendly! The wait staff was okay, I think she was new… But she got the job done! I haven’t been able to find a place down south that could make a good vodka sauce, and they nailed it! I wish they made their own rolls that would of been the icing on the cake! I will defiantly be going back!

I LOVETHISPLACE. We just moved to Sandy Springs from Detroit and have searched high and low to find a replacement for our favorite Detroit Italian restaurant. We settled on Aldo’s because it was close and we were definitely in for a treat! Portions are huge, prices are good and the service is wonderful! The food is AWESOME. All sauces are made from scratch. All entrees are served with bread and a salad. I would not change anything about this place. It is a GEM! In a city of overpriced, overrated restaurant scene Aldo’s is a true hidden gem. Order the fettuccini Alfredo with shrimp. Trust me — it is worth the calories.

We had a ScoutMob for Aldo’s, and decided to use it last night. The food and service were good, but we were surprised it wasn’t busier for a Saturday night.

Very friendly phone service when ordering delivery. The driver arrived promptly and the food was still hot. Team remembered to include plates and silverware. Pizza with pepperoni and meatball was great and outshines the chicken parm panini. Check out lunch menu for best selection and reasonable prices.

Shrimp Fettuccini Alfredo is hands down the best I’ve ever had. Every table should get at least one order!!! The garlic rolls were also a perfect compliment. Bön appetit!!!

I ordered the chicken parmesan and it was delicious! My husband had the sausage and sweet peppers. it was very spicy but he enjoyed it thoroughly. My mom had the chicken caprese and was a little disappointed with the flavor. Apparently, it wasn’t as flavorful as she has had at other restaurants. My husband and I will be back to try more of the items on the menu because we really enjoyed our meals.

I thoroughly enjoyed their house salad and their bread(which they drizzle with garlic butter). I ordered the shrimp marinara, which was a decent portion — delicious! The only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars is because they’re not the BEST Italian restaurant I’ve been to in Atlanta but they’re a close 2nd. I’d come back again, but only with a Scoutmob or Groupon discount because their entrees are a little pricy.

Chicken parm was chewy and came with the saddest excuse for marinara sauce. More like tomato paste. The server was nice but didn’t really have a brain. Too pricey for poor food.

Went here for my first time last night. I ordered the Cannalloni and my boyfriend got the Lasagna. I tried his lasagna and it was WAYTOOSALTY. I was so glad I didn’t order that because I wouldn’t have been able to eat it. The salad was just okay, there was way too much dressing and too much vinegar in the dressing. The Cannalloni wasn’t the best but it was good for what it was. I must say I made a safe choice ordering a vegetarian dish :)

Terribclaimle. The food is prepackaged or frozen and heated up. The clam was chewy because of it being frozen. I didn’t eat the bread, but I could tell it was just typical store bought. Everything was way over salted. It’s concerning when you walk in on a Saturday night at prime time and there are only two tables sat in the entire restaurant. I expected MUCH better since this place has been here forever. The décor is gross and very dated. I ordered simply grilled eggplant with no oil, no cheese, sauce on the side. It came to me battered, with ricotta cheese drenched in extremely salty marinara sauce. I told them to take is back and I didn’t want anything else. At least the salad was good.

Not too bad but not too good either… Appetizers: Mozarella sticks were good, tasty. much better than the ones served in Olive Garden or any big italian chain… Entrée: Penne ala Casoli… strictly ok Ambience was good… we went on a sunday evening and hence the place wasnt really crowded…

Came here on the recommendation of our friends. The service was good and our food came out quickly, 1 hour and we were out the door which is impressive. I had some sort of lobster ravioli in tomato crème sauce, and my hubby had chicken with linguini in some sort of cheese cream sauce. The food wasn’t bad but it wasn’t delicious either. We will probably try it again if some of our friends want to go. But it’s not the highlight of Sandy Springs Dining.

Chicken Romano is not as good as the last time :(it could’ve used more time in the oven to cooked that mozarella all the way through … the mushrooms couldve used some time as well. However, it was still great. Hubby’s jumpo schrimp sampi was also delicious but the pasta was overcooked, it got mushy on his plate after about 15 minutes. Salad was great, and bread was also pretty good this time around. Ambiance still okay, but it gets a bit awkward when theyre empty on the peak hours of Friday night. Service was a bit slow at first, but all in all, pretty good. There’s currently a scoutmob out, and I think that people should give this place a chance especially around dinner time. Based on other recent reviews, this place seems to be a hit or miss, so maybe management needs to pay more attention to the consistency of their product and their service. all in all, this visit was not as great as the first time, but I will definitely come back again.

Aldo’s is a classic Italian restaurant, I haven’t tasted Italian food this authentic since New York. The ambiance is intimate and welcoming. Perfect date night spot. I’ve eaten here at least 10 times and I have never had a bad time. It is truly a well hidden gem in Sandy Springs. The menu is reasonable and they often have evening specials crafted by the chef on staff. I have never been disappointed. I had the lobster ravioli and literally fought the urge to lick my plate clean. Solid spot with amazing service and delicious food!

For my first visit, I must say I am very disappointed. This place is on ScoutMob and rightfully so. This is the only reason I would go here ever and maybe not even then. It was very odd for a Sunday evening for the restaurant to be completely empty — Seriously. We were the only ones in most of our visit. A few other people came in a little bit later. As we ordered our meals, we received salad and garlic bread. The salad was drowning in whatever dressing and just okay. I’m not a salad person but it’s not normal. The garlic rolls were not the softest but seemed to have enough garlic texture and flavor. Disappointing. I had the Chicken Marsala. Honestly, a box of Michealena’s Chicken Marsala from Costco tastes better then this. The marsala was bland and watered down. The menu states chicken breasts — so one would expect a chicken breast. Not a chicken breast cut up into smaller strips. Very disappointing and likely won’t be back.

I’ve been to this restaurant twice. The first time I came here, I took my family from out of town and all of us thought the food was just okay, nothing spectacular. Two years later, I decided to give it another shot because it happened to be on Scoutmob(50% off your meal up to $ 20). It changed from just okay to slightly below okay. We got seated with a host who also happened to be our waiter as well. There was not one person besides us in the restaurant on a Sunday night. By the time we finished our meal, a couple other tables had been occupied. We ordered our meals which came with salad and garlic bread. The salad was drowning in Italian dressing. In fact, you could tell it was drowning when it appeared on the table. I’m not sure why they didn’t fix that before serving it. The garlic rolls were good in texture but lacked in garlic. I was a bit disappointed. I ordered the Chicken Romano as my main dish because I had seen other reviews on this dish and the waiter said it was his most popular dish. Once again, I was highly disappointed. The chicken didn’t taste bad but the Marsala sauce was extremely watered down. I have a feeling, if it were a bit thicker, the dish would’ve been perfect. For $ 18 a plate, I would expect real sauce. The waiter barely spoke to us the entire time except when I asked for a dish recommendation. When we left the restaurant the waiter looked at us and didn’t even say«thank you». I was so disappointed, not sure I’d be going back.

After attending a few group events in their back room over the years, having only appetizers, J and I decided to try out Aldo’s for lunch. It helped that there was a Scoutmob. At noon on a Friday, there was practically no one there… just one gentleman at the bar and 4 at a table in the side room, who looked like they could be regulars. The lunch menu has all the traditional American Italian favorites, including sandwiches. I went with the Veal Piccata while Jimmy got the Spaghetti and Meatballs. While we waited, we were brought rolls covered in chunky garlic and oil. They were ok, nothing special. I was hungry enough to eat one, but I probably would avoid in the future if I had more will power. It seemed to take a while to get the entrees, particularly considering there was no rush. But the food was good when it arrived. The portion size was generous for the cost. There were a lot of onions in my piccata, not that I mind, but it wasn’t what I was expecting. The bite I had of J’s was just what I’d expected — A-OK. In short, if you’re using the Scoutmob, and you’re in the area, it’s a nice quiet spot for lunch, but as Lauren P mentioned, not worth a special trip. Speaking from past experience, they do make for a good meeting space, as there is ample parking, a back room that can hold at least 20, and reasonable rates.

What a treat! We stopped here last Monday on the way home from the airport. Starving is a tame word to describe how hungry I was. Bread was warm and gooey. Appetizer and entrees were simply delicious, you need to try the stuffed shrimp. Couldn’t have asked for better, faster service.
