It's easy to see why Aldo's has won so many awards in the past decade. Have a meal under the skylight in the pillared two-story central dining room and you'll swoon over both the decor and food. Chef Aldo Vitale prepares unabashedly rich Italian fare, from pasta tossed in Italian black truffle butter to heavenly hunks of veal topped with melt-in-your-mouth spinach and mozzarella. The service is charming and the wine list comprehensive. A go-to for visiting celebrities and the city's upper crust, Aldo's is undeniably Little Italy's most romantic restaurant.
