Fantastico! I stumbled into Los Gatos restaurant royalty.
I was craving a fresh hot homemade meal on a cool, early November, evening.
When I sat down, I was warmly greeted by Giuseppe. I immediately ordered the Mediterranean Salad which ended up being enough for two - light and delicious.
After looking over the meal I wanted something on the lighter but warm. I couldn't get past the Minestrone. So I ordered it as my entree. Giuseppe even commented to me that since it was cold he was going to have the soup himself. ( a VERY Italian thing to do)
The minestrone was piping hot. So I had to wait a minute while constantly stirring. This soup is THE DEFINITION of home made comfort. The vegetables were crisp, flavorful, and prefect in combination. The base was smooth, light, and savory.

The decor was all photos of Italy and places that brought back memories for my friend, who traveled to Italy. The ambience is refined, but not stuffy.
I highly recommend this place! Since it's popular among the locals, best to call ahead and make a...
Read moreAldo’s is my family’s favorite restaurant and we have been coming here for years now. The food and service are both outstanding and we still have yet to find an Italian place with food and atmosphere better than Aldo’s! They never disappoint. Giuseppe and his team are so friendly and make you feel right at home. The restaurant is quite small and feels cozy, which is complemented by the better-than-homemade food. My family and I will continue coming back to Aldo’s and I recommend you...
