    They are closing down on August 3, 2025, they will be missed by all. I had to do the double portion of fettuccine Alfredo worth every penny. Thank you for all the laughter all the joy letting me experience awesome Italian food you will be missed greatly .If you open another restaurant anywhere in California, let me know I will definitely make the trip.

    My 1st time here, I was looking on yelp for possibly a mozzarella tomato sandwich with pesto on focaccia bread. It smelled absolutely delicious in this place . Domenico Took my order very kindly and explained that this item was more like a pizza slice rather than a sandwich. It was delicious.

    Dinner special for the night, Hokkaido scallops (perfectly made)with spaghetti zucchini, ricotta mint sauce. Such a refreshing taste!

    The owner and his wife run this very authentic restaurant, the food is fabulous as is the gelato! It feels like we were back in Italy! The serving size is perfect, not a huge plate that you can't possibly eat. They stay open later than the hours to accomandate you. No chain will do that.

    It's really nice to walk into a place and right away you are greeted even if the employee is busy with another customer. When you first walk in there is a menu over to the left of the door. Once you have decided what you want to order, you place your order at the front cash register. After paying you can either choose from the very limited seating inside or go out onto the patio where there are a few more tables and chairs. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, and my fiancé ordered a daily special of spaghetti with shrimp in a garlic wine sauce. The portions that you receive are more on the side of a lunch portion, you do receive a little slice of garlic bread with your meal all for a reasonable price. The spaghetti and meatballs were very flavorful. I definitely would order it again. My fiancé said his meal was delicious. Once we were done eating we simply went right back into the café and ordered dessert. Dessert was delicious. Sadly, the dessert is the only thing I was able to take a photo of. Great customer service.

    Owner/chef Domenico is very personable, friendly person, and explained the menu items of the day. There are freshly baked Italian pastries and gelato to purchase too. There's outside seating with views of various shops of Streets of Brentwood. Indoor seating is limited to counter seating along the wall. The AMC theater is adjacent to the Caffe Parasido. We ordered a couple of pasta dishes. Rigatoni Bolognese - 5/5 The pasta was perfectly al Dante and the bolognese sauce made from tomatoes, minced beef, garlic, wine and herbs was delicious. A slice of garlic bread (garlic crostini) was crispy and soft in the center. Very complimentary to the dish. I would order this selection again. Pasta Alfredo - 5/5 Cork screw pasta cooked perfectly al Dante with original Alfredo sauce, and Garlic crostini. The Alfredo sauce was very flavorful, rich and robust with parmesan cheese flavor. A very excellent pasta dish. Domenico has established a very nice, small and quaint Italian eatery in Brentwood. He serves Italian dishes that most everyone is familiar with. Selections like spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna, etc. The Italian dishes are prepared from a true Italian chef from Italy. Come and support Caffe Paradiso and Domenico for a nice authentic Italian food.

    Best service, best food! The chef and his wife are such nice people. We tried their vegetarian pasta and chicken lasagna for the first time. So good!

    I am obsessed with this cafe! Anytime I'm in the streets I always make time to sit in front of the cafe with my favorite chocolate almond croissant and cannoli and pretend I'm in Italy. The staff is super sweet.

    Such a hidden gem. The only place in town you can buy authentic Italian food for such a reasonable price! I can't wait to go back. Today I tried a latte and a piece of the special focaccia bread (fontina and mushroom) it was really delicious. Definitely will be going back for pasta which was only $12 per dish. Unheard of in Brentwood! Such a nice owner! Thank you for all of your help today with the little ones running around! He handled a full restaurant with grace. They recently added an outdoor patio so it's going to be a great place to get lunch or dinner this spring!!! YUMMY!

The place looks really nice now--such a pleasant spot to sit, enjoy your treats, and relax, especially with kids. The ice cream is always delicious, and we absolutely love their affogato. I was also amazed that they go by cups--we got a lot for the large cups, which felt like great value! I did want to share a small piece of feedback about our recent visit. In the past, water was available in small jars, but now it's set up in a larger dispenser. After ordering ice cream, we went to grab some water, but it had run out. I let the staff member in front know, and she kindly explained that they were out, which I completely understood. However, another staff member suddenly commented that there was no water and that if I wanted some, I should buy and pay for it. It was a bit surprising--not because of the policy, but because of the tone, which came across as a bit harsh. Maybe she was just having a bad day, which I can understand, but the delivery didn't feel very welcoming. I want to emphasize that I have no issue paying for water at all; in fact, I planned to go back to the car after ice cream to get water since we parked nearby. It was just the way it was said that didn't sit well. I didn't say anything at the moment since I understand everyone can have off days, but I do think consistency in how customers are spoken to is important--others might not take that tone as lightly. When I sat down, another staff member came over and offered my family water. If you happen to read this--thank you. Your kindness really meant a lot to us. Overall, we still enjoy coming here for the great ice cream, generous portions, and the cozy atmosphere. Sharing this as feedback because we enjoy this place and would love to keep having great experiences here.

Service is fast and friendly. The owners saw us with kids and they offered an extra cookie for the little ones. Totally family friendly! The space is open with tables and a couch in the corner. It is 100% worth it to come by here and try their gelato. They have other options as well such as the strawberries with Dubai chocolate but that will have to be for another day!

First time, and a while since we'd been at a gelato place, many of our favorites having closed their doors. I also was curious how it would compare to our super premium ice cream haunts. Lots of flavors! You can get two flavors in a small cup ($8.99) - my wife chose a combo of ube and espresso. I went with chocolate and salted caramel. Although not cheap, the cup was packed with a generous amount. There's a decent amount of seating - and our parking spot had one hour before it turned into a pumpkin - so we could relax and enjoy the gelato. Wow, this is the real thing! Made fresh daily, obviously with quality ingredients. My Filipino wife loves her Ube, but has a hard time finding some that meets her standards. She loved this ube gelato - continually commenting on its creaminess. Her espresso gelato had that nice coffee-infused zing. My chocolate gelato was amazing, and the salted caramel wasn't bad either. This place definitely gives that super premium ice cream a run for the money - and that's saying something. We'll be sure to return.

I am definitely coming back to have the pistachal gelato and the Dubai chocolate gelato again soon. What a wonderful combination. The owner is always very friendly. You can have three samples for one purchase. The fact that you only pay an extra 50 cents for a waffle cone is amazing in the Bay area. I've been to a number of very nice ice cream shops all around the Bay Area and this is right now my favorite one. As the weather warms up, do yourself a big favor and come to this gelato shop for some Dubai chocolate gelato and other flavors. They also have sorbets and all kinds of very beautiful ice cream cakes. Highly recommended!

    Review #1,000 Posted on 2.11.26…read more We've been coming to Aldo's for around 8 years now, basically as long as we've lived in Tracy, most recently for some gelato togo on Sunday the 21st of December 2025. My wife & I also hired Aldo's to do the dessert at our kids birthday party our 1st year in Tracy as well, it was a huge hit. Hard to find anyone who doesn't love gelato. My favorite flavor overall since I've been going there is "cookies" They do a good job rotating flavors too. They usually have a few test flavors in their main display for people to choose. They also have a few keto flavors typically as well. They carry custard, vanilla or chocolate, and sorbets too. Lots to choose from. Rich, Michelle, & the crew are all super nice, and give great customer service & a great product. One thing this place is really good at, is being open. Local business we've noticed, close pretty early, or sometimes aren't even open when they say they are. If I go to Aldo's before 10 pm, I don't think I've ever seen them closed. Give this local family owned spot a try.
