Aldo's Cucina Italian Restaurant
- Aldo's presents upscale Italian cuisine at moderate prices and is more suitable for a business lunch or date night than taking the office or schlepping the family (although the restaurant bills itself as kid-friendly). Lunch features a variety of appetizers, soups, salads, pastas, Italian dishes and daily desserts that would look good on any Italian restaurants' dinner menu. During the evening, Aldo's takes all of the items--including chicken, veal and seafood entrees--up a notch and adds a variety of specialty dishes like the lobster risotto with shrimp, shellfish, chicken, sausage, peas and saffron. Aldo's is BYOB, owned and operated by an Italian-born chef.
