Since opening in 1998, Aldo's has earned a reputation as the Premier Italian restaurant in the region. The New York Times calls Aldo's ''An Italian Masterpiece.'' As the highest scoring Zagat-rated Italian restaurant in Maryland, Aldo's has served celebrities, royal families, noted business leaders and local luminaries. Award-winning chef/owner Aldo Vitale's delicately-balanced, Southern-inspired regional Italian cuisine takes advantage of local, seasonal ingredients and finds its setting in elegant, sumptuously-appointed interiors immersed in soft hues of ivory and rose and steeped in classical Italian tradition. Aldo's Wine Spectator award-wining wine list is housed in a below-ground, climate-controlled wine cave, where rarefied private dining events are hosted nightly. The media rave about Aldo's, calling it Baltimore's ''Best Italian Restaurant,'' ''Best Romantic Restaurant'' and featuring ''Baltimore's Best Private Dining Rooms.'' Dinner is served nightly from 5 PM.
