Reviews for Avellinos Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria in Blacksburg, VA

First time eating lunch at Avellinos. So happy I found this place :) the decor was absolutely beautiful inside, the waiter knew... a lot about the menu, and the restaurant! Most importantly the food was delicious. I can?t wait to return! Read more

Treated myself to a work dinner here. I really wanted some good pasta and tirimusu. The host/manager appeared to get a bit... frustrated because I didn't want to sit in the bar. I just needed room on a table to spread out. I came here because I was inthe area and I figured, Italian restaurants in strip malls are all about the same. However, this is not true. I found itdifficult to find anything on the menu that sounded palatable to me. I ended up ordering the white wine garlic shrimp linguini. I could smell it before the server placed it on the table. It wasn't an appealing smell. It also wasn't easy to eat. The'sauce' was like water, so it didn't coat the noodles at all. Think, Ramen noodles...how it's just water and noodles. I had onefork full and picked at my salad until the server came back. I ordered tirimisu for dessert. It's my absolute favorite dessert.I make it at home, also. This, was not a normal tirimusu. It was served in a sundae glass. It didn't appear, visually, tohave any espresso at all. It was mostly what looked to be cake, instead of ladyfingers. It was difficult to eat, as it wasmostly full of a really thick, overly whipped, filling. I have never experienced a restaurant situation like this. I I gaveit three stars because what they served, was what I ordered, as opposed to messing up an order. I spent over $30 for a mealand a dessert that I did not eat. $30 is a lot of money for one person's meal. I wasn't even asked if there was something wrongwith my meal. So, fair warning, if you're looking for an Italian restaurant with spaghetti and fettuccine alfredo and otherregulars, then this is probably not for you. **Please hit the 'LIKE ' button if my review has been helpful.

Definitely great Italian restaurant. I have visited several Italian restaurants since I came to USA 3 years ago, and this place... was the best. Read more

DELICIOUS!!! Huge portions, maybe a little too much for the kids but it's nice to have leftovers for everyone because the food... was so good. Good service, polite staff, nice environment. Read more

The food was pretty good. The portions were enormous and not necessarily in a good way. They messed up my order but were very... kind and fixed it quickly. Read more

Italian restaurant in upscale outdoor mall type shopping area in Blacksburg. Entree was very good, dessert was great, and my... server was very very accommodating even though they were short staffed in the dining room. Food came out fast and hot. Seafoodpasta had lots of seafood in it. Lemon cello cake was amazing. I would recommend while visiting the Burg. Read more

Terrible, would not recommend. Ordered to go, one philly chicken cheesesteak with fries. Arrived when they said it?d be ready.... Fries cold and soggy. Chicken is in huge chunks, not shaved or chopped like a normal cheesesteak. Chunks of chicken are toolarge, tough, and chewy to the point of being inedible. Wilted, soggy lettuce that I had to take off in order to eat. Will nevercome back here. Read more

Food was amazing, great quality, and fresh! Great value for the price, very large portions. First time eating at this... restaurant, will definitely go back next time in Blacksburg. Read more
