The Best Place to Eat in New York City – Ever since my first visit to Aleo it became and remains my favorite restaurant. I have since then been going weekly with my entire family. The service is fantastic, the waiters really want you to enjoy your evening. The owner is always there and takes the utmost care to make sure every single person is happy, and after being there weekly for over a year now, I have seen my share of unpleasable patrons. Peter (the owner) always keeps himself in check to do his absolute best to please t... read more

Terrific Eats, Super Nice People – I am an avid fan of Citysearch and pretty much follow their recommendations. ALEO was selected in the TOP TEN OUTDOOR DINING last year, and in the TOP TEN FAMILY FRIENDLY, and TOP TEN SPECIAL OCCASION places to eat THIS YEAR. Finally I decided to try it. Well, the food was actually better than I expected. The young energetic staff is obviously instructed to PLEASE, and the atmosphere was so cozy and relaxing. CITYSEARCH is on THE MARK again. I will continue to use the guide and disregard in... read more

FAST FOOD ALEO – I'm not the type to tip toe around with words, so let me just get to the point. The appetizer's were ok however the entrees were a train wreck, the service was horrible...the waiters were slower than molasses rolling down a hill on a cold snowy day, and as far as being romantic...FORGET IT, unless you find 2 woman arm wrestling and carrying on as if they were in a sports bar romantic.You may go one time to this restaurant(because you think this review is untrue) but i can guarantee you wont go a second time.

New York's finest! – I love everything about this place - the food, the service, the music, the ambiance, the owner, the bar - this what NY is all about. I get back to ALEO's (from Virginia) several times every year and I'm never disappointed. The shrimp risotto and the halibut are my favorites. If you have time, stay late and get to know the owner, Pete. As another reviewer stated, this is what NYC is all about!

Truly Enjoyed ALEO – My date and I truly enjoyed ALEO. The service is energetic and dedicated. The people are more than helpful from seating us to helping with the wine and desserts. The food was extremely flavorful, and quite varied. A little more than your typical Italian NYC restaurant. The cost was even more quite mild considering the neighborhood. We are planning our rehearsal dinner here since we were so impressed.

Pleasant but nothing special – Had a nice meal at Aleo. The food was good but not inspired. Everything was cooked well and tastes were good just not wow. Service was amateurish--had to keep asking waitress to not fill wine glasses so high up but she seemed puzzled by this. Another couple moved tables because it was so dark where they were--and they didn't even try lighting the candle on the table first. Wine list is long enough but average labels and vintages. Prices were again fair however. Oddly disconcerting and somewhat ... read more

....this place is the Best in the Area – Living around the flatiron-gramercy district I have frequented Aleo on a number of occasions and in a number of capacities. I have gone there on a date, and the owner is so nice and the waitstaff is so welcoming my date thought that I owned the place (needless to say the date went well and ended well), I have gone in with some friends for a couple of drinks and appetizers before going out in the Meatpacking District and that was great, I have been in on business lunches the service is... read more

Attentive service with good food in decent price – service was very attentive and especially from warm welcome and attention from mangaer was impressive. food was like homecooked meal. gnocchi was especially melting in your mouth. Lingiui was perfectly cooked with subtle, yet great flavor sauce. would definitely go back. price was very decent, which is always important factor for choosing resataurant.

bleh..... – we had reservations, were sat quickly. food arrived over an hour after we were seated. Food was cold and bland. We had to chase down the waiter to order and refresh our drinks. for the $150 bill, a diner would've done just fine. ambiance was nice - we had a nice cozy corner table, that was about the only good thing about this restraunt. with bad service, cold food, there isnt much reason to visit again.
