T   he  Aiello Family moved to America from
    Sicily, Italy. Calogero (Charlie) was born in
the village of Partanna and Vincenzo (Vinnie)
was born in Alba, in the Piedmont area of
northern Italy.

Having grown up in and around restaurants
and in Mama’s always busy kitchen, the family
moved to Whitney Point where Vito (Papa)
opened Aiello’s Ristorante in May of 1982 for his
two sons to operate.

The friendliness of Whitney Point has allowed
Aiello’s to grow from a small pizzeria to the
comfortable full service restaurant you enjoy
today.

It is important to us that you know we use fresh
herbs, spices, cheeses and imported 100% olive
oil in our kitchen. The finest raw ingredients
we can find assure you of the highest quality
experience.
