I love this place and will definitely come back! The vodka sauce is really creamy and rich but it is a large portion so great to share or leftovers. The mussels are a must with the white wine sauce that is great to dip with bread. Our server was super sweet and I look forward to coming back. read more

My dad and were are on a trip from NC and Yelped Italian restaurants and this one came up. They did not disappoint. The portions are huge, the bread was yummy and the salad was fresh with the good kind of homemade ranch dressing! Great atmosphere too. read more

Avellinos - Chicken Saltimboca..1/2 eaten!! - Pizza Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

I can only rate it based on my Stromboli that I had, but it was fantastic. Dough was good and fillings were flavorful. I ate half there and half the next day. It was huge! Other dishes coming out looked really great too. I will be back. read more

The food is really really good. Good pizza and good pasta. The service was great too. Went on a Sunday and it was surprisingly packed. read more

Great service, excellent food, and an inviting Atmosphere. If you're going for pizza, the rustica is an excellent choice!

We came for lunch during Tech Family weekend. The service was great. Our family ordered pasta dishes, salads, soup, and pizza. It was all delicious! read more

Always a reliable place to get a good meal. Efficient wait staff . We were sad when Sals left but this is just as good.

Not sure what happened this time (later in the day, very busy, definitely less experienced server), but I looked forward to having a pleasant last dinner with my son before dropping him off for his first year in college here and it was extremely disappointing to say the least. Although the food was good, it was not as good, the service was fair at best, and we were seated in the back near the kitchen amd toilets. Being an African American woman of a certain age, I didn't appreciate being literally crammed into the back of the restaurant when there were plenty of other wide open spaces to seat us. I requested moving to the patio and our server made us stand and wait until she checked if a table other than the tiny two seater that she was offering was free. After a bit of a wait, another server came and asked if we were okay. When we explained the situation, she said we could sit anywhere. Strange, because as she spoke to us, our actual server bursted through the door to tell us we can sit anywhere. Hmmm. The last strange thing was the server came out prior to our finishing our meal to say we had to "pay the tab now so she could close the table inside". Hmmmm. Perhaps she felt we were going to leave without paying by jumping the patio barrier? Well, again, as a women of color of a certain age, I found this interesting and somewhat unsettling. I have suggested this restaurant to several others lately, but will retract those suggestions and I will not burden this establishment with my presence again. read more

The food is really tasty! I went to this restaurant twice and once got the linguini and white clam sauce which was very good and classic tasting. The last time I went I ordered the chicken saltimbocca. It was delicious, however not the traditional way it's typically made. It tasted more like a garlicky chicken francese with capers and spinach with mozzarella and prosciutto on top of the chicken. The food is also pretty well priced for the amount of food you get. I got a glass of wine, great bread with really good oil, a decently size Cesar salad (which came with the entree), and my entree all for $30. I even had leftovers for the next day. The service was also really great. I'll definitely be going again. read more

The pizza is one of my favorite in town, though can be a bit wet with the sauce. I love the quality of the ingredients and always order it cooked extra. Service can be slow sometimes, but it's usually good. I like the array of menu options, and the atmosphere is nice (it's not their fault I dislike Sinatra-type crooning that is played at most Italian restaurants). Parking very easy. With the poor choices for restaurants in Blacksburg, Avellinos is one of my top picks. read more

A ridiculously long wait for food. Delivered excuses when asked about the wait. A bit rude.

This is a great place for couples and friends to have lunch and dinner. My wife and I came here several times and we all agree that. read more

After going back and trying a different dish I updated my two star rating to a four star rating. The Blackened chicken dish I got was a total bust and I'm still salty about how salty the whole dish was. But... my sausage cremosa pasta this time around was delicious! I was afraid to try something new because of my first experience but I am so happy I did! The dish was perfect seasoned and had generous portions of the red peppers, sausage, and bacon! Glad I gave this place a second chance and I'm glad they were able to redeem themselves read more

Traveling thru the area and found this great restaurant. Tired of eating at the "chain restaurants" so we chose this one. We started off with calamari which was very lightly dusted before cooking. Very generous portion, delicious. My wife had the chicken marsala and same thing, very lightly coated, which added to the great taste, I had the seafood cremola which was served in a creamy peppercorn sauce and was beyond excellent. Top this all of with a very warm and wonderful server named Cherub. She was very attentive and a pleasure talking with. We would highly recommend this restaurant should you ever be in the Blacksburg, VA. area...... read more

II got the Italian combo that allows three picks I chose, spaghetti, chicken parm, and eggplant parm. The food was ok- slightly undercooked for the parms. The portions were big though. read more

I love this place! Avellinos is the best Italian I've had in Blacksburg. The waiters provide excellent wine pairings to whichever entree. Fresh bread served with zesty olive oil dipping sauce. Most entrees also come with a refreshing, chilled salad. Amazing pasta (the angel hair is to die for) and hearty portions. The Alfredo sauce was decadent. I am astonished at how much Parmesan and flavor can be stuffed into such a smooth sauce. UGH! Amazing. Highly recommend. read more

Ordered takeout from Avellinos the other night. My daughter liked the chicken parm and I actually had the Italian cheese steak which was really good. Could have used to toast the bun a bit but otherwise it was great! I think this is a better option by far than Italianos for a number of reasons. You are not eating in Italianos because it's just nasty inside. Avellinos is at least a proper sit down restaurant. read more

Great service and the food came out really quickly. The bread served as an appetizer was a little overbaked. I'm more a fan of soft bread. The crust was a little too crispy and hard. I got the Seafood Combinata with whole wheat penne which was really flavorful -- a lot more than I expected, actually. The penne was perfectly cooked and very chewy. It's not bad at all. My friend got a veal dish. The veal was tender, but the dish was less flavorful comparing to the Seafood Combinata. It didn't taste bad either. I'll definitely come again to try their pizza! read more

We got takeout and we got fast service on our pizza order. However, we ordered onions on our pizza and got green peppers instead. Sauce was a little bland. Crust was good. read more

Great place for lunch or dinner. Pizza is great too! NY style with thin crust. Wonderful menu. Recommend this place.

Baked seafood pasta came with Caesar's salad, bread w/olive oil/herb--all excellent, fresh, great flavors!

Huge pasta dishes. The seafood ones were vey good! Had the fried calamari which was great. Bread with balsamic vinegar was good. Bolognese and spaghetti good but I am picky about this dish. All in all very nice read more

The food was so good. But they rushed us from start to finish. Salads came out. A few minutes later, out comes the antipasti. Just s few minutes later they brought they main course. All three on the table at once. Waiters dropped plates on the table not worried about whether or not it fit. Then the coup de gras: the server asked us if we wanted boxes while all four of us were still eating! Really--with silverware in our hands. What's the rush? There were 4 or 5 tables open all night! The food was good and we'll go back. But for the price, all that rushing wasn't a fit. read more

Southwest Virginia is a pizza desert. In my humble midwestern opinion (which I'm sure most Virginians would roll their eyes at, I don't blame you guys, if we think it's so great back there why tf did we move away??) most pizza around here is so mediocre it isn't worth wasting your daily carb expenditure on. Don't @ me with that Benny's or Mellow Mushroom crap, dear god why, what is that schmutz. I long for my sweet home Chicagoland where there's a decent pizza joint on every other corner...so though it may be New York style, Avellino's is the only pizza I will gladly eat in the Burgs. And their ranch is runny, which is the best kind of ranch for pizza ok? read more

Excellent! The homemade bread melts in your mouth. Lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Seriously Yelpers? I was not impressed with our meal. We had just moved our freshman into the dorms at VT and we were ravenous from the activity. Rabid rabbit ravenous! Yelpers said, fantastic bread and dipping oil. The dipping oil was fantastic but the bread was meh. (Panera has better bread.) I had to ask for the bread after receiving our drinks and placing our orders. Yelpers said the portions were large. Yes, bigger than my face large, but large doesn't mean delicious. Yelpers said the food is wonderful. Our group ordered linguine with clams in an olive oil garlic sauce (it smelled like low tide, very clammy smell), penne pasta with sausage and peppers (this meal was good) and blackened chicken fettuccine in alfredo sauce (slightly greasy alfredo sauce, chicken was blackened but not grilled. It was okay.) What sealed the deal for 3 stars was when our waiter asked if we wanted cheese. Yes please! Out came the Parmesan cheese shaker onto the table. No high end cheese and no cheese grater. Just the regular stuff I have in the fridge at home. My plate was $19.95, give me good cheese! read more

Took a chance based on the reviews and were happy we did. As New Yorkers we can be a bit snobby about our Italian food, but the vongole in white wine garlic sauce was amazing (huge portion - we split one), as was the Limoncello marscapone sponge cake dessert. A little gem on our stopover in Blacksburg. read more

Nice atmosphere but food wasn't great. Was very hopeful for a great Italian meal but it lacked flavor. From the bread to the salad to the pasta - the meal just didn't have anything special to give. Sorry to say this won't be on our list for future visits to Blacksburg. read more

Spent just one night in the area and searching for a good restaurant. Chose Avellinos based on reviews and the large menu selection. I drove 20 minutes to get there and was NOT disappointed. Our waitress was superb- very professional and offered suggestions to help us dissect the large menu. We decided on traditional items. I had the lasagna and my mother chose the trio - great for those who can't decide! Portions are huge and flavorful. Highly recommend. read more

We had a reservation for 5 but were sat at a 4 top, which made for a crowded table. Not a big deal but after bread & wine is brought to table, there is little elbow room. Food was delicious! I ordered the Blackened Chicken which looked nothing like I'm used to, but it was so, so yummy that I would order it again! Husband ordered a pasta dish and enjoyed it, and son loved his pizza. Server was very friendly. I will definitely be back! read more

First time staying in Blacksburg overnight and found this gem. Sat at the nice bar in the back and had a great dinner while watching the Virginia Tech basketball game. Didn't know what to expect. Fresh bread with oil and spices showed up with my cocktail as I reviewed the menu. Ordered the Chicken Bravo. It was excellent. 2 Chicken served over Penne with a light cream sauce. Definitely hit the spot. Paired it with a nice glass of Montepulciano. Being from NY originally, this place exceeded my high standards for Italian. read more

We went to Avellinos for 2017 Valentine's Day and it was perfect. The food was beautiful and service was great. We received our appetizer then shortly we received our salad and so forth; I wish the food didn't come out so quick. It was like one after another with no break in between. The lobster was really tasty but the steak was under seasoned. Overall the experience was awesome. read more

This food is absolutely phenomenal! We had COVID a few weeks back and my mom got this delivered. I barely had any sense of taste and still thought the chicken bravo was out of this world. Now that we are recovered, we chose this place for a nice night out. I got the seafood ravioli and my partner got the veal saltimbocca. We got fried calamari to start and a bottle of their house moscato. I could not have been more pleased with the incredible food taste and quality. We made the payment a little difficult by splitting it onto gift cards and the restaurant manager was able to handle it all and with a smile! The owner was very kind as we spoke on our way out. We will 100% be back!! Thank you for a great dinner out! read more

Our server William was fabulous and our pizza was delicious! We also enjoyed the bruschetta it had a nice slant on an Italian favorite! A great find, thanks to Yelp! read more

Avellinos - We can't wait for the leftovers! Yum! - Pizza Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

Good food. Liked that one can build own version of pasta. Be warned that the plates are VERY big so best to share.

The dining environment is decent and the portion size worth the money (though the cost is a little more expensive than other restaurants in Blacksburg). Service there was very friendly, attentive and efficient. It is a good place to have a formal meal for dinners. The only thing that can be improved is that my Linguini pasta accompanied with the surf and turf is a little bland. But they offer table salt any way. read more

SOOO GOOD! I went here for valentine's day this past Friday and I was not disappointed! The portions are HUGE, the food is insanely good, and the service is excellent. Our waiter was really helpful with the menu and did not rush us at all with making decisions, and even made a suggestion for a new wine and let us try it out! We ordered the bruschetta to start, which was a huge portion and so good! The bread was chopped up into bite size pieces which is so smart as I always find it annoying when the bread falls apart and gets really messy. By the time our salads and dinners came we could barely eat any! I got the bolognese which was so good and my boyfriend got a shrimp pasta dish which he loved! Definitely will be going there again as the prices are really reasonable and the overall experience was great! read more
