Avellinos - STURBRIDGE

We dined at Avellino the night before our vow renewal brunch at their venue, The Barn at Wight Farm. Our group of six enjoyed a fantastic meal featuring top-notch appetizers and entrées, all served by our delightful server, Elijah. Although I don’t live nearby and may not be able to return soon, I highly recommend this restaurant. Enjoy your visit!

Always a great meal! Love the bread with my Veal Parm! Can't beat the desserts!! Bartenders and wait staff are friendly and knowledgeable of all courses. Have sense of humor and are attentive. Our food runner, Taylor, was phenomenal!

Got take out because we've been meaning to try this Place forever but haven't been to Sturbridge in a while. Food was phenomenal. Will definitely be back!

Avellino has been bookmarked on my Yelp account for a long time so we finally made it there. We arrived about 3 in the afternoon and we were immediately in love with the decor...in what appears to be an antique home converted to a restaurant. Lots of beautiful woodwork, built ins, and plenty of charm. Everyone who works there was very friendly and helpful. We were seated in a front room with large glass French doors and beautiful sceneries of Venice I believe were painted on the walls. The menu's were VERY disappointing. We're in an Italian restaurant correct? The ONLY Italian entree was chicken parmigiana. That's it. I really didn't want something so simple, but we were out for Italian food so I ordered it. The other entree's ordered in our party was Baked Cod, Baked salmon and Steak tips. For appetizers we ordered a small Caesar salad, Butternut Apple soup, and clam chowders. I ordered the small Caesar salad and it wasn't anything special. It didn't have any shaved parmesan and the croutons were hard as rocks, I seriously thought I would break a tooth and quickly pushed them aside. The butternut soup was well enjoyed, but the clam chowder was a disappointment. My partner said it tasted cheesy (like it had a lot of cheese in it, not cheap , I tried the chowder and it did have a heavy cheese taste to it. Our dinners arrived and the salmon was well enjoyed, even it's presentation was beautiful. My partner said that the Cod tasted well enough, but that I make it better ; . The steak tips looked a mess, just a plate full of fries with steak tips on top and evidently they were pretty grizzly too. My chicken parmigiana was a disaster!! First, I was surprised they never asked what kind of pasta I wanted with it. The pasta I was served looked like it was house made and it was HORRIBLE!! The sauce they used tasted like it came out of a jar and the chicken itself was pretty dry. I left all the pasta and only ate half the chicken. This was a bitter disappointment for an Italian restaurant, not even any bread served!! I will never go back again. And the 2 stars was for the excellent salmon dinner, otherwise I would have given one star.

The food was fantastic! The service was even better. I was surprised to find such a high-quality dining experience in such a remote location!
