I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Avellino

04/09/2025: A simple, retro place. Excellent food, the best homemade pasta I've ever eaten, and thoughtful consideration for celiacs. The only negative: a very expensive bill presented on a piece of paper with no itemized details, no option to pay by card, no receipt, and outrageous for the four dishes we ate. We were very happy and satisfied with the food and will definitely be back. What a shame.

20/08/2025: We visited this traditional trattoria serving excellent Irpinia cuisine. All the dishes (antipasto with cured meats and cheeses, two first courses, and an excellent meat-based second course) were authentic and of excellent quality. Everything was freshly prepared; nothing was frozen, even the fries. The owner was incredibly friendly and delighted us with anecdotes and explanations about his cuisine. They also pay special attention to celiac disease sufferers. We will definitely be back.

14/10/2025: Good food (a generous appetizer, a first course of tagliatelle with mushrooms, mixed grilled meat with salad, dessert, coffee/amaro, canned Coke). Friendly service and short wait. The only drawback for older people is the stairs to reach the dining room and there is no parking. Nice view. Weekdays, no reservations.

12/10/2025: TERRIBLE If I could, I'd give it 0 stars. The atmosphere was squalid, almost disgusting. Cleanliness was zero, and the food was awful. We went there and waited about 2 hours without even getting our first course. You go in hungry and leave worse. Not recommended.

22/10/2025: I bought zeppola and it was really raw

16/10/2025: Connecting bar, with large spaces. The venue changes its type of clientele depending on the time of day.

04/10/2025: Crispy pizza and not-so-crispy fries. A long wait, poorly managed space, and a real struggle getting between tables to use the bathroom! The deafening noise from customers made it impossible to hear the waiters.

11/08/2025: We ordered seven takeout pizzas for €52. And the pizzas weren't just margheritas, but rather well-topped (caciocavallo and spicy salami, or mortadella/pistachios/burrata). The quality was excellent, and the staff were friendly.

11/09/2025: Beautiful place, delicious pizzas and pasta, and Jolanda is super friendly and charming. If you pass by here, don't hesitate to come in.

11/09/2025: Homemade food, very good portions. Jolanda is very kind and patient. Delicious pizzas. 100% recommended.

02/11/2025: We stumbled upon this trattoria because the place we'd chosen was packed. At first glance, we weren't expecting anything exceptional... a sparse place... a big screen blaring the game... a small town bar, in short, but we were hoping to at least eat authentic dishes... illusion!! Our appetizer was dry-cured ham and two (extra!) pieces of cheese (8 euros); after a twenty-minute wait, the first course arrived... pasta with ragù... as soon as the waiter put it on the table, an unmistakable burning smell hit our noses... we tried to taste it, but it was clear the ragù had stuck to the bottom of the pan... we pointed this out to the waiter... who responded by ignoring us for the next five minutes, even though he walked past us several times and it was clear we weren't even touching our plates. At that point, we asked for the bill and left... we were charged the full bill (the cost of the two inedible first courses was 20 euros!!). It's clear that certain people cannot be classified as belonging to the restaurant category... what a shame.

28/10/2025: Loved our lunch! They were super accommodating to our daughter’s preference and had excellent quality of ingredients. Inexpensive, especially the wine! Definitely well worth returning!

07/11/2025: Beautiful place surrounded by greenery, quiet and clean

15/09/2025: It has excellent value for money. It has enormous potential if it invests a little in the structure. Making it more appealing and modern. The food is excellent.

12/09/2025: The entire menu organization needs to be reviewed and some alternatives to pork should be included. It's not possible that you only find pork from the starter to the main course. I hope this review can be useful. Thank you and have a good day.

09/09/2025: Courtesy, professionalism, kindness, I accompany genuine and simple dishes but full of love... thanks, see you soon!

26/10/2025: Really excellent, well-made traditional dishes and also with some reinterpretations, Congratulations

20/09/2025: An appetizer consisting of a small plate of cured meats, which are, 2 slices of ham, two of salami, one of capocollo and a mozzarella 25 euros.?!?! A boiled meat in the appetizer that tasted horrible... 1 angel rib, 2 of pork and 2 heads of sausage with 2 Cokes and 2 glasses 130 €.

10/10/2025: I rarely come here but always get a great welcome and excellent services.

04/05/2025: Posto molto bello dove mangiare gourmet in famiglia. Antipasto molto abbondante, con primo e secondo a scelta. Come dolce si poteva scegliere tra tiramisù, cheescake e la panna cotta

27/04/2025: Siamo stati veramente entusiasti del battesimo che ci hanno organizzato. La location era perfetta,con un'atmosfera accogliente e curata in ogni dettaglio. Il personale è stato sempre disponibile e attento alle nostre esigenze. Il cibo era delizioso, con prodotti freschi e di alta qualità. I nostri ospiti hanno apprezzato molto la festa e abbiamo ricevuto molti complimenti. Grazie mille per aver reso questo giorno speciale per noi!"

21/08/2025: The first courses were good, but the villa appetizer was disappointing: too basic for the price (ham, capocollo, pancetta, and a small omelette with a little ragù).

15/08/2025: I was there last Sunday, I liked the place and the food too, in fact I went back to confirm my opinion! I was there just today........and every cloud has a silver lining......everything was terrible.....we arrived at 2:00 PM and they served our appetizer at 3:20 PM, shall we move on to the main course? Trio of grilled steak and sliced Angus beef 🤣🤣🤣and here I laugh, it was served at 5:10 PM, but why did I make a mess.....the waitress justified herself by telling me I was late, that it was August 15th and that it was her first day of work! I let it go and asked for dessert and the 🍉 listed on the menu.....a tiramisu: two crunchy ladyfingers with cream and chocolate powder! The thing that most outraged me was the price of the fixed menu, €50 per person. It wasn't worth it... mostly, they offered me Angus (which wasn't Angus, but a nice piece of fat), they asked me how it was cooked, and in the end, on top of the €50 menu, I found myself with a €5 surcharge for medium-cooked food! 🤣🤣🤣! I'm not picky, nor do I care about money, but is that even possible? Justifying themselves and saying they had problems in the kitchen was out of place! Anyway, I left because the table next to mine hadn't even served the second course... it was only 5:30 PM! What can I say... never again on August 15th... and not only that!

27/08/2025: Piero has been running this place for years, putting passion and dedication into everything he does, and with every visit, something has changed and it just gets better. The wine selection is vast, as is the varied and innovative food selection. The atmosphere is superb, warm in the winter and pleasant in the summer. The best in the historic center. Highly recommended!!

10/08/2025: A very welcoming venue in Avellino's historic center, perfect for an evening with friends or as a couple. We went for a drink on a summer evening and found live music (guitar/bass and vocals, rock blues) that made the atmosphere even more magical. We'll definitely be back.

22/09/2025: We went to La Scintilla on a Sunday in September. The place is charming, although its decor is certainly a bit dated, reflecting the family-run (I believe) ownership. The place was packed, a sure sign that the food is good. I ordered the first course pictured, which is supposedly one of the house's signature dishes: "Strangozzi alla Scintilla," fresh pasta with a sublime porcini mushroom and truffle sauce. Spectacular! We followed with a tagliata (arugula and parmesan), which, however, had the flaw of being just arugula and parmesan. Not even two cherry tomatoes added flavor and color, and the lack of balsamic vinegar was especially noticeable. The medium-rare meat was good but a bit too dry; frankly, coming to Serino and not eating a proper tagliata is a crime... aside from that "incident," all the other dishes at the table were to our liking. The service was a bit slow (we ordered at almost 2 PM, and started eating at 3 PM, but the place was packed; that's normal on a Sunday). We'll definitely be back to try other delicacies at this well-worth-it place.

17/09/2025: A beautiful location that certainly deserves more. The food, however, was unremarkable and unpraiseworthy. But above all, it was different from what we ordered. We had ordered the pappardelle allardiate with mushrooms. One was not pappardelle but maltagliati, and two were missing lard. As for the prices, I found the water price to be more than excessive. €3 for a carafe filled from the tap. The cover charge was €2.50, perhaps even excessive. All this was topped off by an argument between the waiters that almost left us hungry, as they started circling the room with our dishes, not knowing which table to take them to. In short, I don't think we'll be back.
