Aldo’s Harbor Restaurant on Atlantic Avenue in Santa Cruz sits at the edge of the Santa Cruz Small Craft Harbor, which means the fish on your plate and the boats that caught it are visible from the same window. It appeared in Season 8, Episode 9 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Twists and Traditions,” which aired March 22, 2010. Guy Fieri found a Santa Cruz seafood kitchen taking its proximity to the harbor seriously — fresh local catch, simple preparations, and the honest harbor restaurant experience that earns a loyal following among locals who know the difference.
