Reviews for Avellino Family Barbecue in Norwalk, CT
Awesome smoked brisket. A lot of traffic at the Stamford Food Festival
We ordered from Avellino for our Easter dinner this year. From the time we ordered, to the delivery, to the packaging and the... instructions on how to reheat, it was all seamless. The food was exceptional. Everything was delicious and we loved every morselof it. Read more
so grateful i pit stopped at half full brewery to grab some brews and use the bathroom because i wouldn't have found this gem.... the dry aged beef burger was probably one of the best hamburgs i've ever had!! juicy on the inside and crusted well on theoutside whilst being inside a perfectly toasted bun. was a little disappointed there wasn't any toppings considering it was 15bucks but it wasn't missed. and then the chicken cutlet!!! don't tell grandma but this one was also phenomenal. the garlicbutter used in the sandwich was the perfect jumpstart of umami to elevate the perfectly seasoned chicken into another world offlavors. wish there was something like this in nyc!!

Been enjoying amazing food at the 314 Beer garden location and I am literally addicted. Usually I can be a picky eater but there... isn?t I single thing on the menu I wouldn?t try. Highly recommend!!!!!!! Read more
I've been eating Chef Leland's food for about 10+ years. Never disappoints! Best BBQ you can get locally and it is being made... and served by some amazing people! I have lived/eaten BBQ in Texas, NC and KC and their food is right on par with all of it. Read more
We've always had a great experience with AFBBQ!!! The ordering process is easy, the pickup process is easy, and the food is... amazing! We've done orders with their weekly menus (the spatchcocked chicken is insane!) as well as some of their holidaymenus! Hands down my favorite so far was our order for Christmas. We had a newborn at home so cooking a holiday meal wasn'tappealing. AFBBQ to the rescue! We ordered the lamb loins, with roasted carrots and gratin potatoes. It was fantastic and gaveus a real family meal at a very busy holiday season! ...which reminds me of when we ordered our Thanksgiving meal! I don'tknow what Leland does to make his corn pudding the best corn pudding I have ever had in my life, but it was the best cornpudding I have ever had in my life. Also, if you ever see the Buffalo Bleu wings, ORDER THEM. The other great thing aboutAFBBQ, beyond how delicious the above is, you are ordering from one of the warmest, kindest, and most compassionate families inour local area. It's amazing to see what The Avellino's have built in just one year, but even more amazing to see them usetheir success for both giving back to local causes and prioritize opportunities to support other local businesses!

Great local barbecue from the former pit boss and owner of the Stamford Dinosaur BBQ. It?s just him and his smoker (and his... family, of course). The rotating menu is available on their Instagram or on the website (or you can sign up to be on their emaillist). You place the order by Thursday noon, and you drive up and pick up some of the best ?cue around on Saturday. Of course,the ribs and pulled pork are excellent, but I really love their porchetta and pork belly burnt ends, and the deviled eggs werephenomenal. Read more
Wow. I just had their Italian inspired pork belly sandwich at the Italian festival in Stamford. It was one of the best... sandwiches I've ever had. I was hesitant to write this review because it was so good I want to keep at a secret all to myself.I'll definitely be going back for more and hope they get a brick and mortar space soon! Read more
