text: So good! Driving around Phoenix on a Saturday night looking for Italian, checking yelp, and we find Aiello's - what a treat!\n\nCozy ambiance, enticing aromas greet you as you walk in the door. Smells the way I want an Italian restaurant to small - warm, slightly tomatoey, garlicky - welcoming :0)\n\nWe were quickly seated though the place was crowded. Warm breads and spicy dipping peppers brought to table with drinks.....mmmmmmm.\n\nService was friendly and knowledgeable - owner Joe stopped by to check in\n- was visible in the dining room throughout our visit - nice wine list - my medium red was smooth and fruity - entrees plentiful and prepared as you order them....this is not The Olive Garden! We were happy with both our choices and hope to return!! \n\nWine, salad and entree for me was $30- excellent value for service and experience!!! Big recommendation for Aiello's !!!!!
