| - Wonderful experience! Arrived early dinner time and Aldo invited me to sit with him while he worked, what a sweet thing to do. One of the first things I noticed was the fine China, a very nice touch. After conferring with the staff and Aldo as was my first visit because I am from out of state, I decided upon the veal picatta, one of my all time favorites. Absolutely delicious. The meal started with hot fresh bread and butter, followed by a tasty mixed green salad with homemade dressing, yummy. Entree with delish al dente mixed veggies and side of angel hair with marinara. Frankly I enjoyed everything. I didn't find desserts listed on the menu so I asked for the dessert menu. Was told there was no dessert menu but...there was a dessert tray...enticing. My waitress brought a tray with several offerings, I had difficulty choosing but my selection was wonderful. I enjoyed the coffee with dessert, which I noticed when I looked at the bill was a reasonable $2 for an endless cup. And if that wasn't enough, I noticed that the little girl at the table across from me eating with her parents had gone into the back room and returned with another of the desserts that looked so yummy. Apparently Aldo let her choose a dessert which she was obviously enjoying. With such a friendly warm family atmosphere, there's no doubt in my mind that he just let her have the desert gratis. I wanted to let him know how much I appreciated him, the meal and the experience. I gave him a hug and talked for a minute before leaving. What a special man and what a wonderful restaurant. If I make it back to Cleveland, Aldo's will be one of the first restaurants that I visit... guaranteed.
