  • I first heard about Aldo's from my former boss, a sophisticated, beautiful woman with a heart of gold and a flair for fashion, wine and food. She'd traveled America and Europe and had dined in many an upscale establishment. When she raved about this tiny trattoria in Brooklyn, I knew we just had to give it a try. Aldo's sits at the corner of a small strip plaza on Memphis Avenue, and you'd be forgiven for mistaking it for a take-out pizza joint. This place is remarkably small, yet absolutely adorable. It seats approximately twenty or so patrons, with an innovative bar/server station tucked into a nook adjacent to the kitchen entrance. Seating can be tight, especially along one of the banquettes that run along the periphery of the room. Several small two-top tables are also available, but were all occupied during our visit. The close quarters could be disconcerting to some diners, and is something to consider if you decide to visit. Fortunately, the food at Aldo's was everything my boss had gushed about, and then some. We're talking antipasto, pizzas, lasagna, piccatas, marsalas, fettuccine, ravioli, gnocchi, tiramasu, zabaione and everything in between, finished off with coffee and sambuca. We both chose one of the evening's specials, a mixed seafood scampi served with lightly seasoned white rice and mixed vegetables. Tender shrimp and scallops, cooked perfectly. We struck up a brief conversation with another couple-regulars enjoying a Saturday night out-who beamed when they bragged about how the kitchen makes a special wedge salad for them with Bleu cheese and house dressing "on the side." Aldo himself was ever-present during our visit, mingling amongst the tables; making sure his guests were enjoying their meals. His face lit up when we told him it was our first visit, seemingly flattered that we chose his restaurant based on a glowing recommendation. For authentic Italian cuisine, Aldo's delivers...although we will probably return on a weeknight for a more subdued dining experience.
