spend you dinner money elsewhere!! well, we tried aldos for the second time, and, the wait staff was rude to us, again! we are both in our 40's and dress appropriately for dinner out, so i am not sure why we had two different waiters that were smart-mouthed and almost rude, first of all we ordered chilled wine; the bottle was brought to us and wine was poured..and the cold bottle sat on our table for almost 15 minutes, we finally asked for a ice bucket and one was brought. when we ordered our meal the waiter stuck(yes, stuck) the menus right up into my husbands face my husband said i know what i want to order, you really don't need to do that. at the salad course, the waiter came to my left and cracked black pepper on the salad, then asked my husband(who was on my right) if he wanted some, he said yes, then this waiter reached right across my face with his arm to grind my husbands pepper and i said , please don't do that!! and i pushed his arm away, he should have gone around the table ,not reached right in front of me. good waitstaff knows better than to do these things! i suspect that if you come in there with a large party, or are VERY well dressed, and a regular, the service would be better,and i find it very interesting that at the very end of the meal, all of a sudden the waiters (on both occasions) got much more friendly ...can you spell tip-time??. needless to say, we do not plan to return, there are much better italian places to dine in san antonio

Pros: good foot

Cons: bad service

Food was good but our server was not very helpful or prompt. He took too long to take our order. We asked for a wine menu and he only told us two wines they offerred and did not bring us a wine menu. The food was good we just had a terrible server. I also did not appreciate how disrespectful they were when I walked in and one of the wait staff looked at me up and down never even greeted me--you figure that one out.

Pros: Good food, Nice Atmosphere

Cons: Terrible Service, Disrespectful Service

Aldo's is a perfect place for a romantic dinner and great Italian food. Service is excellent and the wine list is wonderful. It's the best Italian in San Antonio

The staff at Aldo's has always gone above and beyond in making the dining experience wonderful. For my graduation dinner, I made reservations for 16 people. At no extra charge, and without me having to ask, the staff at Aldo's cordoned off a part of the restaurant for my special party. To top it off, the piano player serenaded us with all of our favorite requests. The food is to die for and the ambience is so soft and magical that you forget where you are. Everyone is treated like royalty when they arrive and they feel like family when they leave. Do everything possible to visit Aldo's!

I eat at this restaurant every time I'm in San Antonio. They have a very elegant atmosphere, yet a relaxed environment. Waitstaff are prompt, courteous, and non-intrusive. As a business woman travelling by myself, I appreciate excellent restaurants that do not take it amiss when a woman is dining independently. I have yet to order a dish I was not happy with. Definitely a 10 on all counts.

I have been dining at Aldo's for nearly 20 years and have never been disappointed. The food is always delicious, waiters are prompt and courteous and atmosphere is quiet and relaxing. A good romantic restaurant as well.

Editor's Review

So romantic it's almost corny, this tree-shaded house on a hill delivers spot-on service and flawless Italian classics.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

Where to Sit

Sit inside if it's anywhere near rush hour. While the foliage on the patio provides a buffer, the traffic noise can still be a distraction.
