Avellinos Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria

Kimberly Smith-Miller

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 in the area and I figured, Italian restaurants in strip malls are all about the same. However, this is not true. I found it difficult 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 one fork 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, to have any espresso at all. It was mostly what looked to be cake, instead of ladyfingers. It was difficult to eat, as it was mostly full of a really thick, overly whipped, filling. I have never experienced a restaurant situation like this. I I gave it three stars because what they served, was what I ordered, as opposed to messing up an order. I spent over $30 for a meal and 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 wrong with my meal. So, fair warning, if you're looking for an Italian restaurant with spaghetti and fettuccine alfredo and other regulars, 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.

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.

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. Seafood pasta had lots of seafood in it. Lemon cello cake was amazing. I would recommend while visiting the Burg.
