TLDR: Food was overpriced and edible(la croix of italian where italian is screamed in austin and food is made in San Antonio),wait staff amazing, host/ess amazing and restaurant is the dive bar of johny carrinos(which has better food)OKAY FIRST ATMOSPHER! you get there you notice that the outdoor patio area while we'll illuminated I would about 1/4th of the lights are burned out the interior of the restaurant looks really nice as you walk in until you look to the right and see an entire sea of table which in my eyes looks like they are solely attempting to pack as many warm bodies with wallets as they can in such a confined space which also makes it difficult for the wait staff to actually do their jobs despite their best efforts as they are having to use their honed reflexes to keep from bowling over customers and tables alikeSecond the food too keep ot short and sweet its overpriced and sucked my spouse got some sort of angel hair pasta with shrimp and some asparagus now the asparagus was cooked TO PREFECTION and had an amazing crunch and flavor as a baked asparagus should be the rest of was more bland than the entirety of Ohio amd Iowa combined into a salt is spicy dreamscape whete there was basically cooked cream and the la Croix of what was once parmesian and and maybe some garlic that was cooked in the pot 3 washes ago and get this for 35 dollars. You get all that with I wanna say a ladle of food maybe. Enough the average person would look at and say hey that wasnt nearly enough and that wasn't the sole culprit of that particular place either all the main entrees plates there ranged from 20-50 dollars which I understand if it's actually good food example: there's a Thai place off of de Zevala called baanthai Thai cuisine their special is a curry that has everything in and it is AMAZING but is 25 bucks a plate but is a large portion and is actually realllly good and has weirdly good Rangoons? Like seriously good Rangoons you'll have to try them ANYWAY I got myself myself a lobster bisque and just ate the bread (bread was OK did not have the nice crust you'd expect from an Italian place) cause it was 9 bucks to their credit! I did find some lobster pieces at the bottom of the bowl which were about thumb sized which were tasty the bisque itself once again entered into the la Croix of Italian food where some shouted parmesian loudly and repeatedly to a large pot of perfectly good Tamato soup with a cream base which while less terrible than the pasta my spouse ate could honestly be made at home with a can of Campbell's tomato soup some milk some imitation crab and bringing the parmesian dangerously close to the pot to get a wiff of what it could have been.Three wait staff. The wait staff was amazing and was ready and patient and was genuinely good service I'm assuming with years of training as a martial artist to avoid all the tables and customers stacked into the area bravo to yall for putting up with that and stillanaging to do your job sincerely bravo.Four reservations table was reserved for 14 people and my spouse and I were the first ones there at 3 minutes past the reservation time unknown if it was the hostess who canceled the reservation do to the party late or the manager who did but I fully understand if Noone from the party had been there past 15 minutes but 3 minutes really? Do yall care about selling your overpriced la Croix of Italian food that badly? But they were able to accommodate a large party in about 15 minutes so kudos goes out to the host/ess for getting that situation under control yall are the MVPs for working that outAll this for the low price of 55 dollars I think with a decent tip for the waiter which I regret every penny ofAll in all I myself will likely never come here again and will forever think of this place as the la Croix of Italian restaurants where they are dangerously close to flavor bit for safety measure Italian is screamed at the top of someone's lungs in Austin and there's your flavor

Netta (I hope I spelled it right) was such an AMAZING server. She gave me and my wife the best recommendations and was so friendly and energetic. The food was absolutely delicious, and the ambiance was just what we were looking for. 10/10 would recommend!

Exceptional service! Our server provided the best service I have ever experienced. So very thankful that the manager was very knowledgeable on menu items that would accommodate my daughter's dietary restrictions (GF&DF). Our server was very detailed and helpful for ensuring a safe dining experience for my daughter. Start to finish, this restaurant provided tge best and kindest customer service and hospitality. Thank you for one of the MOST enjoyable dinners we have had in quite some time.

You can’t go wrong with Aldino’s! We dine with our favorite people here regularly and have been coming here for years. The food and service is spectacular. You expect the pasta to be top notch, but finally tried the steak… the most tender filet in town (and we’ve tried them at the highest rated restaurants).

Whenever we journey to or through the Blanco Road and Loop 1604 area, Aldino's at the Vineyard is our lunch choice. She loves to Farfalle Florentine and I the Mediterranean Salad, I added the marinated shrimp to the salad for a bit of protein. Good choice.

My family and I recently dined at Aldinos. Damien, our server, was excellent. He suggested the perfect wine to pair with our meal, which was scallops and Sauvignon Blanc. He delivered fantastic service! We will surely ask for Damien when we return.
I love coming to Aldinos. The food is fantastic, the service is very good, and it’s a great atmosphere for business lunches.

Tuna appetizer was tasty but little ponzu sauce but with fresh basil and tomatoes which gave good flavor! However the marsala appeared to be cooked with sugar and was awful. I asked to send it back and they lectured me that they could give me picatta which is "less" sweet. They failed to bring out the chef despite multiple attempts, instead I got lectured by the wait staff. Would not recommend as fine dining for italian.

We were in the area and looked for Restaurants, Aldinos came up and we decided to try. So glad we did! We were seated promptly, our server offered us selections, I strayed from my “go to” Italian dishes at her suggestion, it was wonderful!We were genuinely thanked for dining with them as leaving. We will return soon with friends!
