I go to Aiello's for the people, not the food. There are few places that make you feel more welcome, between all the friendly staff, owner coming by at least once and regulars that live nearby all greeting each other. The kitchen isn't managed as well as the dining room, however, so expect execution problems. For example, on our last visit they had risotto as one of their specials. You'd think if it were on the special, it would be cooked properly. Alas, it was almost inedible. Hard little kernels of risotto that crunched when you bit down. The broccoli rapini in my pasta was so bitter it ruined the whole dish. Yet even with the food issues I'd still go back to meet friends.
