What DeniseL likes about Avellino:
The restaurant is stunning and the food was amazing. The waitress brought the incorrect wine that we had ordered and did not go out of her way to be friendly. However, overall it was a positive experience and I would certainly come back! View all feedback. What MelanieS doesn't like about Avellino:
Sturbridge serves as a convenient meeting place for our friends from Connecticut and ourselves in Massachusetts, making Avelino our go-to restaurant in the area. However, our recent experience on a busy Saturday night left much to be desired. The restaurant was understaffed and the service was painfully slow, particularly when it came to receiving our drinks. Our waitress did her best under the circumstances, but unf... View all feedback.

Very good chicken marsala and lamb last night. Old world decor, and quite pleasant. Small dining room. Very nice waitress. Very good value.

Delicious dinner for four. Excellent service, beautiful ambience, beautiful colonial building and interior, good value.

Avellino has been a beloved meeting spot for friends for years, but recent visits have disappointed. Understaffed service led to slow drink delivery, while a salty halibut dish fell short. New Year's Eve dining also suffered from staff shortages, lukewarm appetizers, and cold mains. Despite missteps, the restaurant's stunning ambiance and delicious Italian fare still attract returning customers. Special events, such as a 50th-anniversary celebration, are fantastic, with a fun Italian cooking demonstration by Chef Rico. The staff impresses with their excellent service, making events, like bridal showers, unforgettable. Although some dishes may miss the mark, Avellino remains a reliable choice for meals and events.
