Fresh Seafood & Homemade Pasta
Fresh seafood and homemade pasta define Aldo's, with local sourcing shaping the kitchen. Cioppino, calamari, coconut shrimp, eggs Benedict, and fish tacos give the menu both seafood and daytime range.
790 Mariner Park Way waterfront
Waterfront setting is part of the experience at 790 Mariner Park Way. Panoramic views and a historic building make the setting central to the choice, not just the meal.
Eggs Benedict for breakfast and brunch
Eggs Benedict gives breakfast and brunch a named anchor, while fish tacos fit the lunch side. Beer, casual service, casual dress, standard pacing, and a lively noise level frame an easygoing visit.
