We tried this place for the first time, and everything was great! The complimentary bread has great taste & texture; oil & balsamic vinegar is provided at the table. We started with the spinach salad in a Dijon dressing with candied nuts and tomatoes; it was very good. My daughter had the chicken marsala, which was excellent. My husband had the tortellini pasta in tomato cream sauce with ham & peas, and it was great. My salmon fettuccini in vodka sauce turned out to be my daughter's favorite, so we did a bit of trading. :) We shared the tiramisu for dessert, and it was great! The service was wonderful all around. I'm glad we found this restaurant. I am sure we will be back.

A very good Italian restaurant! My wife was craving Italian food, and after consulting Yelp, we decided on Aldo's Cafe. We had a great dinner here enjoying the delicious food. My wife tried the Lasagna ($23), which she found to be great. I was looking for a low-carb option (hard to do in an Italian restaurant). Our waiter recommended Involtini Melanzana (rolled eggplant) from the special menu ($24.50). This delicious dish had several rolls of eggplant around a great filling and covered with a wonderful sauce. (And no carbs!). Vegetables were included. The waiter served fresh grated Parmesan cheese for our entrees. The service was great and staff friendly and helpful. The walls of the restaurant are decorated with large photographs of Italy. We were seated next to one showing rooftops of old buildings that was fascinating to look at all the detail (and to see satellite dishes on top of old rooftops!).

Great service, great food, relaxing atmosphere. And the complementary bread - delicious! The Salmon Piccata is my go to.

We like this place. The parking is easy, the servers are attentive, it's quiet enough to have a conversation and hear each other. The food is good. The atmosphere is pleasant. Three of us went here for lunch and we were all happy. My two friends had pastas which looked good and I had the salmon which was very good. They brought a lovely dessert out for my friend's birthday. This is our second time here and we will be back.

I had the bruschetta and penne al pesto - tube pasta with sausage and mushrooms in a pesto sauce. I didn't even realize how hungry I was until I realized I ate the entire plate of pasta! The food is nothing short of phenomenal. Highly recommend this spot.

I've been going here for years since I used to live in Campbell. It was well known that they have the best caesar salad in the LG area for a quick lunch/to go meal. I went back about two weeks ago with a friend and we had the pasta special which was a white wine sauce penne tomato pasta dish, and the recommended cab from our waiter. We had a great time - excellent prompt service, pastas were a perfect al dente, and the wine was great. Nothing to distract from catching up with a good friend. Highly recommend this spot for dinner or lunch! The caesar is still killer.

I'm always in search of good Italian food, which for some reason, seems to be difficult to find in the Bay Area. I was really happy to try Aldo's Cafe in Los Gatos at my friend's suggestion. She is a local whose parents dined here once a week for decades, so that tells you a little bit about how long Aldo's has been feeding the residents of the South Bay. We stopped by for lunch on a weekday at 11:45. There were already some people dining inside, solo and larger groups. Service was prompt and friendly, with water and bread brought out quickly. The server and host were also very accommodating in bringing out butter for the warm bread. I decided to get one of the daily specials, which was a cavatelli pasta with sausage, tomatoes, and spinach. I liked the fact that it had both protein and vegetables. I wasn't sure what sauce it would come with but was pleased to see that it was basically a thin tomato-based sauce that was probably made by adding a little pasta water to thicken it. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente, and I liked the balance of sausage and veggies. The portion size was generous without being overbearing. I ate the whole thing and was very happy with my dish. I would happily return to Aldo's another time. Parking in the lot is quite easy, and their location is just off Highway 9 and 17, for easy access.

Best Puttanesca ever Great service Ambience works well No hard liquor Limited seating Very good food Loud

My new GO TO place for Italian cuisine! This place has been around for awhile, but recently I remembered it as I was craving Italian food to celebrate my birthday with a friend. The salads were what I remembered with fondness as the vegetables are so FRESH snd seasonal. You can tell they know how to source the best ingredients. The pasta was so perfectly cooked, sauces were on point and chicken was tender. The pizza was also thin crust as I like it, toppings were new to me, but they worked! We ended with tiramisu dessert to celebrate. AMAZING!! The decor was all photos of Italy and places that brought back memories for my friend, who traveled to Italy. The ambience is refined, but not stuffy. I highly recommend this place! Since it's popular among the locals, best to call ahead and make a reservation.
