Great meal with generous servings and quality service!

Aug 2021 • none

Looking for a late dinner after a rainy day of travel, we remembered a previous visit to Avellinos and the wonderful meal we enjoyed (That was back in 2017!) It was a slow Tuesday night due to heavy rains but still a decent crowd and they were well staffed. Parker, our server, as well as the other staff members were friendly and provided exceptional service. We split an order of Francesca's Lasagna and still had some to carry home! When our bread basket was empty, another appeared. The restaurant is not in a "you see it when you drive by" location, but we were glad we remembered them and their location in the First and Main Shopping Mall.

Surprisingly good Italian

Feb 2023 • family

We went to Avellino's for my daughter's birthday with family and friends. The atmosphere is great and they get very busy so make a reservation. The food is very good which was a pleasant surprise considering I wouldn't think Italian food in western Virginia would be. I had a seafood pasta dish with sea bass and it was delicious. The manager was great and our waitress Cassidy was awesome. The food came out with the perfect timing in-between courses. The only negative is the bar. If you want more than one drink per person order them all at once because you will be waiting a long time before they come to your table.

The Italian is solid; pizza is gourmet

Jul 2021 • none

If you're looking for an upscale place to take the family or treat your kid and their roommate, Avellinos is the place. It is a solid, credible Italian meal no matter what you get. It is a place for grownups who know what Italian food tastes like in American. The pizza is New York style and ranges from simple and nice to a completely extravagant experience. If you want eggplant or sundried tomato on your pizza, you simply can't do better.

Pseudo-Italian

Apr 2020 • none

They feature Mediterranean (Grecian and Italian cuisine) but don't understand the nuances and native touches of quality. Designed for the Olive Garden lovers of frozen entrees not for quality "made to order" expectations. Sal understood the difference!

DISGUISTING

Feb 2022 • none

As an Italian this food was the worst non authentic Italian GARBAGE I have ever tasted. So many problems with the bland gross food. The largest problem was the insane amount of GARLIC! The food has full chunks of garlic tossed in, this is not how Italians cook or eat, no one should eat that much garlic. The simple easy to make, can't mess it up, caesar salad was inedible. I put it close to my mouth and my nose started to burn from the garlic. caesar salad should have garlic, however, that much garlic is excessive and wasteful to say the least. This much garlic was on every one of my dishes. Some other problems include the fact that the tomato sauce on the pie and the eggplant parmigianno were extremely bland with no flavour whatsoever. The pasta alla vodka sauce had absolutely no flavour at all it was just creamy and overly garlicy. The only good part was the crust on the pie, it was okay. The bread was also nothing special, just make your own bread. The worst part about this experience, was that I had to make dinner to eat after anyway and wasted 60 dollars and perfectly good ingredients.

High hopes but a let down

Jul 2022 • family

Seemed like our waitress wasn’t interested in helping our table at all. Service was slow, had to ask for refills from other people, and she couldn’t have cared less if we were satisfied or not. Also, my dish wasn’t appetizing at all, told her that and it was clearly noticeable w a full plate of food, all she did was take my plate away. Was hoping for a better experience.

Saturday Night Dinner

Feb 2024 • couples

We were scheduled for a 45-minute wait but were seated in closer to 15-20 minutes. The establishment was crowded and there were several large parties, so we were not waited for maybe 10 minutes when first seated. The Gerneral Manger however, seated and served us, apologizing for the wait. To make up for the short delay, we were given a complimentary appetizer. The food was delicious and portions enough to take home for another meal. The General Manager had gone out of his way providing refills and attentive service. I greatly enjoyed my time at Avellinos and will be dining there again.

Wonderful Food and Service

Oct 2023 • family

The service and food were superb. The reasonable pricing for huge servings was much appreciated too! We thoroughly enjoyed our Garlic twists with lots of cheese, shared Lasagna, and Caesar Salad. Our favorite place for Tiramisu had been on Maui. These guys matched it in every respect. Krissy F was our ambassador to wonderful service. Enjoy!

It was excellent!

Dec 2023 • family

I came here with my cousin, aunt, and grandparents. The food was excellent, (especially the meatballs), the service was great, and the building was nice! The food was made fresh so it took a little while to come out, but it wasn’t too long. The rooms are candlelit with some fun decorations. I recommend the salads and meatballs, they were my favorites. This is a great place to go with family or friends. I would eat here again!

Best Italian Food

Sep 2022 • family

The vodka sauce was superior - this place has some of the best Italian food out there (and I’m from NJ). If you’re visiting Virginia Tech and you don’t visit this place you’re missing out. Such incredible flavors in all of the sauces (ranch included). Servers were also great, which just made everything even better! Highly recommend!

Visited based on reviews and absolutely loved it! The food and drinks were delicious, large portions, and excellent pricing. Our server Jennifer was so customer friendly we asked for the manager to let him know what a great Ambassador she is for the restaurant. Will definitely return!

My favorite restaurant in town!

Nov 2021 • family

I eat here at least once a week 😆. Their pizza is amazing and the veal piccotta is to die for. Great portion sizes. Salads are awesome and huge. A little secret which you would not expect is the they have the best burger in town.
