Such a diamond in the rough!Please don’t let the shabby strip mall fool you! Once you enter the restaurant, you will be transported to a beautifully lit, fine dining restaurant, at a fraction of the cost. Our server was perfectly attentive, the ambiance was superb, the food was impeccable, and the owner, Gabriel, was warm and welcoming. And the coffee is amazing!I will definitely be returning soon!

Come here for the food and nothing else. We got the Pizza Rustica and Pasta Della Casa and both were phenomenal, I wouldve expected to pay more for how delicious it was!! The only real issues are that 1) the location is highly unassuming. Its located in a small center and you wouldnt expect this place to have such high-quality tasting food. 2) the service is slow. We saw maybe 2 servers handling the whole restaurant which I understand and we accepted it. It took some time to even get the bread to the table, but the bread was super good, too! Its specially seasoned and baked. For a nice hole-in-the-wall find this is it. despite the other points made, I gave it 5 stars cause the food deserves this place to be visited. Hopefully they find a bigger spot to move to with an ambiance that matches the food quality.

I came her with my wife and daughter saw the area decided to pull the trigger knowing the area and hoped for the best.Came in to a completely empty restaurant minus maybe two tables. Ordered two drinks a appetizer for my daughter and myself and expressed to push her mozzarella sticks first because you know how kids are.Daughter ordered chocolate milk. There was solid floating white pieces when my wife opened the cup. Wife ended up sending the drink back for a apple juice. Waiter expressed that the milk was still good but I didnt want to argue about the solid floating chunks in it so exchanged it for a applejuice.30 Minutes later my daughters meal and appetizer and mine came at the same time. This perfect because thats how I ordered it. Only my wifes drink came. Im still waiting on my Old Fashioned.The bruschetta was amazing. Got to give credit where its due.My wifes drink was a botanical madhouse. She couldnt even drink it due to the amount of mint in the cup. The fact that they served this should make you cringe.40 minutes now still waiting on the old fashioned and finally my wife asked where it was. 5 minutes later the drink came. The Old Fashioned they gave me was by far the worst. The drink was not stirred. Had no bitters. Just made to look good but had zero skill involved in it.The entrée Pollo alla Vodka Was great. Spinach was cooked amazing and potatoes were perfect chicken and sauce was to die for.The Chicken Parmesan was overcooked. Wife had nothing but complaints for it.Spend another 50 - 60 bucks and go to a place where you pay for what you get. Do not spend this much here on food and drink. You are wasting your money.I Feel so bad for whomever is the chef here because you could do so much better with a better team in a better restaurant.The old fashioned pictures are for the bartender to understand what goes in one.

Sat fir 45 minutes with my 10 year old son. We had to ask for bread. The food never came out. We left after waiting an hour. The stupid restaurant was empty, only one other table was occupied. I will never go here again!!

Had a spectacular time! Food was delicious. Pizza, Lasagna, shrimp and pasta just a delight. Not to mention the dessert. Omg, a cheesecake which melted in your mouth. Also, a lemon drop martini which actually tasted like a 🍋 lemon drop!!! Atmosphere was elegant, romantic yet playful with laughter and fun. You can go with a date or hang out after work with the girls, just a spectacular place.

Great Italian restaurant gem hidden in a little nondescript shopping center.First time there, recommended by a friend.Arrived Sat 4/2/22 at 4:30pm, greeted warmly, by Amanda and was seated quickly. Its a small, restaurant but very clean,, comfortable with a warm atmosphere and nice decor.Service was great, Amanda knew the specials and menu very well telling us that the pasta is fresh and hand made daily.Pictured...Pollo Alla VodkaChicken breast, Vodka flamed tri-colored belle peppers, red onions, tomatoes, served with garlic mashed potatoes and spinachAldo’s Supreme Di PolloChicken breast wrapped with herbs, prosciutto, fontina cheese, served with garlic mashed potatoes, broccoli and puttanesca sauceFinished off with, but not pictured...Banana Gelato with chocolate sauce and whipped cream.The food was served quickly, hot, with warm/sliced, herb topped bread and everything tasted very delicious.Im glad we arrived early, as suggested by my friend, because within 30 minutes all seating was filled and more people were arriving. Id recommend a reservation.Highly recommended and Ill definitely be going back for some pasta or pizza or both. Look out for my next review!

Nice little restaurant with a big restaurant vibe. I ordered the Lasagna with garlic bread. Somehow, they included and charged me for Garlic Bread with cheese too.The lasagne was a bit too buttery-garlicky for me. A bit high on the salt taste for me as well. I give that dish 3 Stars.Update: 12/09/2018I returned and ordered the fettuccini with chicken and omg! The sauce was so tasty! This dish hit a BIG home run with me!In ordered it for take-out. Whatever they tell you the wait is, add 5-10 additional minutes when you arrive. I guess they have to toast the garilc bread for you when you arrive so you can have it fresh and warm.It’s a pleasant atmosphere and the hostess was amazingly friendly and courteous. This was my 2nd time eating from here so I always give restaurants a chance to get a five star rating. And boy, did they ever with that fettuccine dish!

Staff and our server were extremely nice and attentive. The food tasted quite good as well.However, when eating our lasagna, we saw a large piece of cardboard/plastic embedded in the lasagna. Looks like they might have taken a frozen lasagna and didnt remove part of the box, which then was served to us. They at least helped serve us up with a new lasagna that did not have that issue.

We love aldalinos. Been coming here since i was a child. I now bring my kids here.Update. He does not like to cater to Latinos of the paisa class. I take it it is not proper for me to bring my loud kids. I order 2 pizzas of this kind, he brought me two different pizzas I didnt

Who would have thought that there was a delicious, Italian and small business owned in the city of Azusa. It is not at all what I expected when driving up in the shopping center. However, when I entered it was a very nice place, contrary to the outside. The service was very good and the food was quite honestly soo delicious! Received a gift card from here and we went to give it a try and now it is one of my favorite Italian places to eat! Decided to try them out for our baby shower we had and they did not disappoint. Since the ordering and paying the owner was so nice and professional and gave us his best tips. Day of event they arrived on time and food done right and amazing. 5 stars all the way, in every aspect!

This place is top notch. From the outside I was a little concerned, but the food and the service was incredible. We had 10 people and all 10 of us gave the food and service a 10 of 10 rating. The calamari was done perfectly and the bruschetta is some of the best around. Thank you for a great experience. This just goes to show you that you can’t judge a book by its cover.

My 1st time there was 2019 and the service was bad and the food ok. Reluctantly I went there on a very special occasion dinner and history repeats itself but worse. Service was horrible and food not worth the 1.5 hour wait. No apologies from management and I WILL NEVER GO THERE AGAIN. Two of worse restaurant experiences twice in one place.

We’ve been coming to Aldolinos for probably 30 years. It all started when I was a PTA president of my kids elementary school and this is where they always went to get pizza for the Family nights at school!Imagine our surprise when we began eating there and found it to be some of the best food on the planet!Gabe is amazing; always welcoming and his staff is amazing. The food is always incredible and delicious. You always feel welcome here and it’s just always a good all-around experience.I will say that you need to not be in a hurry - which is what one expects when you are eating delicious gourmet food!!!

I been going to Aldolinos for 30 years, even though it has changed owners over the years, one thing is the same, good food always, it says a lot about the people that run it, currently, Gabriel, the current owner, is one of the most personable of host, always with a smile, a greeting, just a kind guy, he always has a story to tell, I think he talks to every guess like he has known them forever, I know that people can always find things wrong with the service of a restaurant, I do from time to time, but I have to say I dont remember having a bad thought about going to Aldolinos,

Ashame this place hadnt turned up in my explore whats around you prior to yesterday. Went to celebrate my moms birthday and had a wonderful meal. The center and neighborhood where its located might be a bit off putting but dont let that dissuade you. It is very nice inside and has a good ambience. Our server Amanda was friendly and knew the menu and specials backwards and forwards. The sauces were amazing and the bread delicious. My boyfriend had to be careful not to stuff himself on just the bread! My moms shrimp were a good size and cooked to perfection. The portions are big and the prices are very reasonable. The 3 if us will each be enjoying our leftovers today. This place is definitely going on our return to list.

I prefer salty over sweet any day of the week but more on this later.Ordered some takeout, Lasagna and Seafood pasta, rather simple items and a staple for most people.Seafood pasta was decent, good amount of sauce to seafood ratio.Lasegna was another story altogether. It was beyond salty like someone intentionally spilled some on there. Had 2 small bites and then threw it away.Not sure how anyone would let a salty plate of food leave their kitchen is beyond me.Recommend avoiding the lasagna or this place altogether.YMMV.

Great place to eat real comfy like. They just revamped it they have a bar now. Great little place that you can got to and theyll always have the same thing. Great for that one dish you like maybe take a date. The prices are good and the food is good to match. I always come here I support these little places rather than those big name joints

I give Aldolinos Sunday Brunch a 3.5 star. I had come unknowingly of the buffet as I thought it was a regular sit down and order restaurant.First off the atmosphere: It is a small Italian kitchen in the corner of a tiny old plaza. It looks a little awkward being supposedly a nicer family restaurant but it is very clean inside and you wouldnt expect anything less from a well established restaurant.Inside, several booths and tables are placed with decent seating.The service: I want to give this place 4 stars for their excellent customer service. They are family oriented and are well accustomed to large parties but dont forget about the smaller tables either. Every table is given generous amounts of attention and even if you are waiting for a table. The waiters are polite and attentive but not to the point of pestering.The food: The food at the Sunday Brunch buffet is decent. The meats, the seafood and the salad bar are nothing to knock your socks off. However, each dish does have its own flavor and gives variety to anyone eating here. They have a small selection of breakfast items in addition to a few salads and desserts with a very large and well plated fruit platter. Honestly, for the price I would say its a little more than what I would pay for the quality of food. Everything did taste fresh and you could see the waiters bring out food and stone gas refills to keep the food warm.Overall: a 3.5 star experience. Food was alright but the service and atmosphere was nice. There other food selection looks very interesting and I will be coming back when it is not their buffet.

This is a great small Italian restaurant. I always have the blackened salmon and Im not really a fish guy. It is tasty...I highly recommend it. The ambience in the restaurant is really good, not too noisy. The strip mall that the restaurant is in its not the greatest but weve never had a problem. The service is great too...well worth it, one of our favorites.

Love this place! The owners are very nice people who love to make and serve delicious good at a very reasonable price. Im here at least a couple times a week not only to eat but to talk with the employees and have a drink or two. Very warm and welcome ambiance. Hidden on a street corner behind a gas station. Its a secret treasure youll have to come and enjoy sometime. Peace and love!

Service has been going down hill the past few years. They used to be enthusiastic when you order. Now it is a drag to take your order. They didnt even know the menu details our last order. We ordered chicken marsala, which comes with pasta. We got home and found out they put it over mashed potatoes.. We called, they put us on hold, came back a few mins later and said the manager said to come back and they will give you pasta... No apology, just drive 20 minutes back to our restaurant so we can make you wait while you inconvenience us and ask us to make you the food as we described it on our menu. Needless to say we wont be coming back.

My family and I have been coming to this restaurant for 20-something years before Gabriel owned it but I have to say they are doing a great job still. Our go-to is always the pizza but whenever we can sit down and have a nice meal together I love the pastas and the fish. The place is like a second home to me sometimes because when Im away from home I can have a slice of their pizza and bring back many great memories. Be sure to ask for extra garlic on your pizza that is the best. Yum!

Hands down, my favorite restaurant to dine at. The food is always excellent! The last time my husband and I dined here I ordered the calamari which is the best I have ever had. It is served with 2 different sauces that are wonderful. I also got the blackended salmon. It was cooked perfectly and came with creamy mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables. The creme brulee for dessert was perfect. The staff is always welcoming, friendly and attentive. The owner really makes you feel at home.

Accepted my GrubHub order for pickup with a 40 minute wait time. When I got there they told me that they dont check their GrubHub orders because GrubHub owes them money. When I asked why they dont remove their restaurant from GrubHub they told me they couldnt figure it out and offered to make my order, but they would charge me again and make me wait again.

Gabriel and Jesus have a wonderful restaurant. I am always amazed by the number of specials they have, even on weekdays. The food is great and the prices are really reasonable. Try their homemade cinnamon ice cream or creme brulee for dessert. The wine list is impressive and also reasonably priced. Last, but not least, there is always a hello hug from Amanda when we visit. Love this place!

This place is fantastic! All the waitresses are extremely helpful. The cook is very kind and helped cater my vegetarian friends diet. My friend had an eggplant dish and adored it. I personally loved the four cheese sauce over the cheese ravioli. Tomato and basil were used as a lovely garnish and added a pleasant taste. I used the bread to get the last bits of the sauce. It was just so amazing.

Been there numerous times with family.and friends, both local and visiting out-of-towners. Had business lunches here. Had company holiday dinner here. Every one of them was beyond excellent. Gabriel is the best. He makes everyone feel like family. The bread is to die for.12/2018 UPDATE: Went again last night. First time in a while. Gabriel has renovated the second dining room and added a full bar. Its beautifully done. Contemporary design with an old world feel. I had one of the specials; gnocchi with a white wine tomato sauce with onions, mushrooms, bacon and more stuff than I can remember. Spectacular. The gnocchi were the lightest Ive had since Little Italy in NYC.DONT MISS THIS PLACE!!!

Aldolinos is a gem!Delicious food and friendly service.There are many very good menu selections but always ask about the daily specials before you decide what to order.Oh, they also make excellent pizzas.For a romantic meal for two or a family outing, Aldolino Italian Restaurant is always a great place to enjoy.

Our party of 25 to 30 people came to the restaurant to celebrate a birthday. The reservation was made a week in advance. 4 of us arrived at 4:30 to make sure everything was ready for our party and to discuss billing. We were assured that the check would be split between 4 of the tables. Our party came in at 5:00 PM. It took 45 minutes to get drink orders put in and delivered. Some of the drinks I had to get and deliver myself. It took repeated request to get water delivered to the tables. Ordering the meal was an ordeal as well. Menus were provided to only a small number of guest. Again, I had to hunt menus down and deliver them.Once the order was in, it took an hour to get salads and we didnt get bread until after the salads were finished. The entrees when they finally arrived were mediocre at best. My future mother-in-law s lasagna was so salty that it was inedible. I told the waitress about it and she did nothing about it and showed no sign of caring or concern for her guest. As it was the birthday defendants meal, it was even more of a disappointment. For myself, I got the beef filled ravioli. I dont know what my ravioli were filled with,but if it was beef it resembled meat paste. Not at all tasty! Other guests had issues with their meals as well.When it came time to settle up, the bill was presented on 1 check which was not what was agreed upon. It took a good 30 mins or more to get it all sorted out. Overall the 4 hour dining experience was dismal. The only bright spot was the time spent with family which was very nice. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. As one with experience in restaurant management, I found this place to be a textbook example of what not to do. I will not be back.

Was excited to go to their happy hour which according to their website states, Tuesday through Thursday 3PM to 7PM, Friday 2PM to 5PM. I called to confirm since this is COVID and many websites are outdated. Luckily, they confirmed! We showed up hungry but stood at the doorway unacknowledged for about 5 minutes until someone finally greeted us. That was strange because there were few patrons and plenty of servers who made eye contact with us. We got seated only to find out that happy hour actually only goes until 6pm. Sadly, we left hungry and disappointed.

Best hidden gem Italian in Azusa/Covina. Gabriel and his brother have a fantastic restaurant that hasnt disappointed us in over 10 year of eating here. They have even been able to create an outdoor dining space during the pandemic so we can enjoying their great menu, creative specials, and fantastic drinks (full bar yall!) Without missing out. A must dining spot of youre a local or visiting.

The calamari and the Caesar salad were tasty. The crabs cakes and the lasagna were terrible. Sent the lasagna back and had the chicken Alfredo, the pieces of chicken were dry and over cooked around the edges. Never going back there again. We were a party of five there to celebrate Mother’s Day. The rest of the party ordered the seafood linguini, they say it was tasty, but their coffee was served lukewarm... waiter brought hot coffee right away.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE. Aldolino Italian Resturant has to be one of my top three resturants I have ever eaten at. Everyone I have brought here and ate with always said they would come back again. The atmosphere is perfect for a romantic date or a birthday celebration with your family and friends. They also provide an excellent catering service. I recommend the chicken Marsala if you are planning a dinner party. And if you are wondering, their BREAD is amazing. Not to mention, the staff are always helpful and a pleasure to talk to.So if you are in the mood to try a new Italian food place, this is definitely the place to go and check out.

The boss turned up the TV so loud we couldn’t hear each other. The cooking took forever to come out. I can’t believe how many things they messed up on and we couldn’t even see the boss. No excuse bc we made a reservation too

I was really excited about eating here. I recently purchased food to go and was good, so I invited my friends to meet for lunch. What a mistake 🥹 I am unsure if the server was in a bad mood, or if we somehow upset him. My friend ordered a salad and asked NO onions, extra pecans. The salad arrived & had tons of onions. My other friend said shed take the salad, and just make a new one for my friend with allergies. The 2nd salad arrived & was half the size of the 1st one. The entire time server seemed mad. We only wanted what was originally ordered. I ordered several different items & they were good. Sadly my daughters chicken didnt seem fully cooked. It was hard and looked pink in the center. I didnt bother telling the server anything because his attitude made him very unapproachable. What an awful feeling and experience. You pay all this money to get bad service and bad food. 😣 its really unfortunate because I initially liked it alot, but I think now that was just luck. The experience is part of eating out. I should have suggested elsewhere

Its a shame to have a good place and be good people but appearances can be deceiving. If Gabriel were a good employer with his workers, he would be the complement to having a good restaurant. ?
