Aldo’s Italian Kitchen: A Taste of New American Italian Cuisine in Alexandria

We stopped in on our first time visit for lunch and we were not disappointed. The Rigatoni Bolognese and the chicken parmisan sandwich were great choices. The food came quickly and the servers were polite. I assume it was the owner came out and gave what I assume were the regulars a greeting, table to table and thanked us for coming in. If you were hesitant to stop in, then this is your sign to go try some good food. We went for lunch and both left happily and over stuffed.

This is our favorite Italian place in the DMV. The prices are reasonable and the food always comes out with proper flavor and beautiful presentation. The waitresses are super duper nice and even gave us an extra plate of garlic bread. Yes, they give free garlic bread at the beginning and it's outstanding! Last time we went, the main dining room, which is a nice, casual atmosphere with warm lighting, was full, so we had to sit in the back dining room. The back room isn't as nice, which has more white lighting and can be quite cramped between tables. Other than the back dining room, this place is great and we would 100% return and bring friends with us!

Beautiful place within corporate blocks. The host and the entire staff were very friendly and hospitable. The food was delicious. I will definitely stop here again whenever I am in the area.

Kids shared the meat lovers pizza, and both loved it. My husband and I each had the Fettuccine ai Funghi Porcini with gluten free spaghetti substituted in mine. It was delicious.

The food was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned, and you could tell it was made with care. The Cioppino with black linguine was rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The arugula salad was crisp and refreshing, and the cheese pizza had a great balance of sauce, cheese, and crust. The cheesecake was smooth, creamy, and the perfect way to finish the meal. Every dish we tried was satisfying, and the flavors really stood out. Overall, the food alone makes this place worth coming back to.

Amazing and delicious! We have ate here multiple times this week, and everything has been so scrumptious. Amazing wait staff, amazing atmosphere and even more amazing food. I can't wait to get back here to eat again soon.

My sons took me here and what a treat! Atmosphere wonderful, the owner so kind and service was the best. The food was delicious. Just a delightful little place!

Surprisingly great little find! The best potato leek soup I’ve ever had and the complimentary warm garlic bread was such a nice touch. The friendly staff is super attentive and the owner is absolutely involved and cares about each diner’s experience. I had to take my food home because of the generous servings! Chef’s kiss!
