My one experience at Aldo's was nowhere near as, ummm, "intense", as yours, Gary, but it definitely wasn't good, and I'm never planning on returning. The food was, IMHO, unremarkable for the cost, and frankly the waitstaff seemed more interested in "processing" us than serving us. Never again. And honesty, I don't know how the place stays in business.
