The Baltimore Sun noted our Wine Cellars when it
recognized Aldo’s for offering Maryland “Best Private Dining”

Baltimore Magazine named our Wine Cellars
“Baltimore’s Best Private Dining Rooms”

These are the exclusive, private dining rooms where lovers tryst furtively, celebrities romp secretly and business leaders celebrate high-profile deals.

And, of course, our Wine Cellars are the perfect setting for celebrating one of life’s treasured Milestone Moments—birthdays, anniversaries, promotions.

There’s a reason why our two private Wine Cellars attract so much attention . . .

Wine cellar dining is the most rarefied and memorable private dining experience we offer at Aldo's, the highest-scoring Zagat-rated Italian restaurant in the state of Maryland. 

When dining in our Cellars, You and Your Guests are transported to Italy for the evening, discretely catered to by a private, dedicated service staff.

Guests dining in our Wine Cellars are offered the choice of either dining from our standard A La Carte Menu or from a specially-prepared Degustazione Menu—Chef Aldo’s Italian “Tasting” Menu of six to eight courses celebrating luxurious seasonal ingredients.

“OUTER WINE CELLAR”
Accommodating up to 16 Guests, our private “Outer Wine Cellar” is highly evocative of a centuries-old Tuscan wine cave, featuring a barrel-vaulted ceiling, Belgian tapestries, limited edition Deruta majolica china (commissioned especially for our Cellars), terracotta tile floors, original 150-year-old brick and a Chef’s table handcrafted by cabinet-maker-turned-chef Aldo Vitale himself from 200-year-old American chestnut.

“INNER WINE CELLAR”
Our private “Inner Wine Cellar” offers the incomparable and memorable experience of dining among our award-winning collection of 5,000+ bottles of wine in the actual below-ground, climate-controlled redwood cellar Chef Aldo personally constructed to house it.  Up to 4 Guests dine at a hand-crafted, hand-painted majolica table made in San Gimignano, Italy by the same husband-and-wife team of artisans who sculpted the imposing mask of Bacchus (the “god of wine”) overlooking the entire Cellar.  The Inner Cellar also features limited edition Deruta majolica china.  NOTE: The Inner Cellar is a temperature- and humidity-controlled room; Guests may want to bring a sweater!
