loved this place – I had a very enjoyable culinary experience here. The food is superb, and the service exquisite. I truly felt relaxed and catered too. The people are genuine and the ambience is so soothing. I thoroughly enjoyed everything that was put on the table including the wine, which was recommended by the manager. The garden is so romantic. A true gem in the City, places like this are hard to find.
Editorial Review – Mediterranean and Italian cuisine including fish, pasta and meat dishes such as veal cutlets, lamb chops, Alaskan salmon and more.
eatforaliving – Forget the Princess. I went to ALEO with a group of friends while at a convention in New York City. Someone recommended ALEO at the show. Everything was great. I had the mussels in a tomato broth that was delicious. Then, I had the steak, which was grilled to perfection. I finished with a chocolate lava cake that filled my sweet needs. We were 8 people, we drank a few bottles of wine. I say this because something I only heard about or seen in a movie happened next. A manager or someone stopped at the table an... read more
GramercyParkmeetsdownHome – Listen, this place is in the middle of all the big boys in Gramercy, and the food is right there with these big guys. This food is the real deal!!! The staff is young, but always willing to go the extra mile and make you feel at home. It is like Mom or Dad is in the kitchen telling your friend to make sure their guest eats. All I can say is I tried it on Valentines Day via Open Table, with my girl, and we have been back twice since. The people here make you feel like they really want you to be her... read more
Bad Experience – My husband and I came for dinner. We were seated and although the restaurant was far from full, nobody came to our table for a FULL 15 MINUTES to even take a drink order. Finally, when a guy brought bread over, I asked him for a waiter and that's how we finally got one. Each round of drinks took over 10 minutes (we were drinking somewhat complicated martinis). My food would have been good if it hadn't been cold. I refused to get dessert. I'll never return.
Business response:
We are genuinely sorry for your experience. As you may notice this does not happen often. We apologize publicly and would ask you to give us an opportunity to change your mind. You can email us anytime (aleorestaurant@yahoo.com) and we would love to discuss a possible compensatory meal. Otherwise, we honestly respect your opnion.
Great meal on New Years night – Went there as a group of four prior to going out to a bar on New Years night. The atmosphere is both inviting and cozy. Service is splendid, makes you feel like you're truly appreciated as a customer. Each dish was a thoughtful and delicious creation. One of the best restaurants in New York!
tom and patti – Hooray, Hooray, for 20th Street. ALEO is the place. This place is on the same block that is home for some of the best known restaurants in NYC. ALEO is prime time. The real deal for the food, and the people there are so genuine. You will not see the pomp and circumstance in the higher priced places, rather ALEO's prices are so reasonable, while the food competes with the best of them. The wine list is the most sane one we have seen in a while. Got to try it.
Great Food – Aleo Restaurant, my new favorite, has managed to rival my previous neighborhood choices such as Beppe and Arezzo by providing delicious food at appropriate prices in an atmosphere that truly feels comfortable. Whereas many of the Flatiron District's upscale restaurants tend to treat customers with icy politeness while providing hyped menu selections not worth their salt , Aleo's sincere greeting and creative food choices provide a marked contrast. Aleo's warm environment encourages you to savor, linger, and simp... read more
Must go and take your friends" – I've been at Aleo's a couple of times with family members, and friends, and we have always had a remarkable time. The food is innovative, and extremely tasteful. I had the life guard stew once, then, I went back again, and tried the lamb chops.... simply terrific!! There is also a refreshing Garden in the back, perfect to have weekday "power" lunches during the hot spring/ summer days in the City. Certainly, "a must go", very charming spot in this beloved town of ours.
Aleo has a 4.1 star rating with 133 reviews.
