On an unexpectedly rainy late spring evening in Santa Barbara, Aldo’s new owner, Brad Sherman, stands in the doorway between the patio and the dining room, waiting to welcome diners. He is eager, thoughtful, neatly dressed in plaid shirt and slacks, at ease as he guides a family from Minnesota to a table and answers questions from a retired fellow about the discount for people with tickets to local cultural events. He recommends a good wine, jokes with the servers, one of whom is his daughter, Geneva, and always keeps an eye on the door.
