Avellino’s

I absolutely love this place. Working nearby has been great thanks to this food. Breakfast, lunch and dinner here are all great choices. The breakfast sandwiches get the whole office excited and the calzones are always to die for. On top of great food the delivery drivers are great guys and always get the food to you while it’s still hot.

I dined in twice & ordered home once, The food is excellent, the restaurant is clean, the staff are very friendly, the delivery was made through
and also was excellent.

This place is one of my favorites!!! No delivery fee and they always give you a ton of food for the price! Love the eggplant parm, steak Caesar, chicken florentine calzone!

I love the Caesar salad!!! It’s delicious! I order it at least once a week!
Delivery always arrives faster then the time given

Ok — tried this place a few weeks ago on the advice of a friend. I was craving a good Italian sub, so off I go. It was about 3pm on a weekday afternoon, there were few people in the place and I was greeted very pleasantly right away by a young woman at the counter. I explained that it was my first time here and told her what I wanted. She put the order through and as I stood at the counter waiting, I noticed that the employee making my sub wasn’t wearing gloves. Neither were the other two guys behind the counter, all had bare hands and were touching the food they were preparing directly. I watched my guy peel cold cuts off the the pile and hold them right in his palm as he was making the sub. All the meat, cheese and toppings that went into the sub was placed or guided by his bare hands. UGH. I really don’t know why I didn’t walk out right then, but I had paid for it and was really hungry. So I ate it, all the while remembering the site of all those not very clean bare hands on my food (and everyone else’s).
If you read any of my other Unilocal,you’ll see that this is a real pet peeve of mine — It’s a Federal Law that anyone handling food must wear gloves. Needless to say, nice employees or not, I won’t be back, and I hope Medford’s Heath Department pays them a visit soon. PUT GLOVES ON! IT’s THE LAW! And for good reason — You can transmit so many different germs with bare hands on food.
As an aside — The sub wasn’t bad but wasn’t the best either. And I realized I was charged 20 bucks for the large with the toppings and a small bag of chips. a bit pricey.

Portions: HUGE
Quality: Just OK (only had sandwiches, so far)
Been here a few times for lunch. I am not overly impressed, but keep returning. Probably because I eat half of a sub and save the other half for later. The grinders here as big as my arm… definitely filling. Satisfying? Eh, I’ve had worse. Atmosphere in side leaves something to be desired, but I’m there to chow down quick, not hang around for the dining experience.
As far as «homemade Italian»…maybe at one time, but now, I doubt it. Not bad, but not authentic. Service has been OK, never had delivery, Perhaps I could get a better idea by eating at different times or something. I want to like Avellino’s more than I do… we’ll see.

I ordered breakfast from here and it hit the spot! No fee and no minimum for delivery — big points for that! I got a delightful breakfast sandwich (egg, cheese, sausage on wheat) which came with home fries (just potato cubes, essentially).
My food came 20 minutes faster than the estimated delivery, the gentleman who delivered it seemed sweet, and I found the whole experience just swell!

Good spot for quick lunch or take out. We get it delivered during the winter days and busy work season. Big portions and the food is pretty good.
Chicken & Steak salad’s good, chicken parm, meatball, pizza, Italian subs. Can’t go wrong.

Food here is excellent but the customer service is lacking. Service is slow for delivery and take out. If you have tge patience go for it!

Delivery on a wed night took an hour and a half and the food came cold. We ordered a chicken Cesar wrap and chicken Cesar salad with a side of fries. Not that difficult and still they messed it up. Called to tell them and no apology.

I have been to Avellinos in the past and while it’s always been a mixed bag this time was definitely my last. They have opened up a new function hall next door and as nice as it looks it seems to take precedence over the guests dining in or taking out in the regular restaurant. The waitresses are constantly coming in and refilling drinks at the only soda dispenser and customers must wait in line until they are finished. I ordered potato gnocchi with meatballs my gf had chicken ziti broccoli garlic and oil and I got two fountain drinks for 38.00. The meals include garlic bread and salad. I waited about 5 – 10 minutes and was never given a salad, I waked to the counter to ask the guy if I could get the two salads and he said okay give me a minute, they were obviously trying to handle a party next door. I received salads and as we were finishing our food came, about 5 minutes later the garlic bread which was 2 pieces. The meatballs were small about the size of frozen and I got 3.5 of them. We finished the garlic bread and I went to ask for more and was charged an additional 2.50. We finished our meals and 15 minutes had gone by and still no extra bread. I wrapped my food to go and asked if they could just pack the bread. His response was okay just give me a few minutes I’m making you a fresh one (clearly forgot about it. I can expect this in a busy restaurant and that’s fine but the reason for the 1 star was after coming home and opening the left over pasta I found a piece of string or thread in it. Needless to say I will not be going back. There are far better Italian restaurants in and around the area.

We ordered from here for work and I got the Italian sub. Very huge, very tasty, very reasonable priced (for the customer). My sister got the grilled chicken caesar and that was pretty huge as well. They do tend to take a little longer than most places when delivering at lunch time. I actually would rate this place a 3.5 but half stars aren’t a thing here. Oh well!

Talk about a find! This place is great. It’s my hole in the wall to go secret gem for Italian. Pasta home made, sauce home made, huge! Portions, nice prices, just great.

I’ve refrained from posting a review of this restaurant, as I frequently have lunch there, because it’s so convenient.
After yesterday’s lunch, it’s off my list.
The pricing at Avellino’s is outrageous. The always have a few $ 5.95 «lunch specials», but my $ 5.95 lunch was $ 9.40 yesterday, when I added a «Coke».
I ordered Chicken Primavera and was delivered Ziti with a 100% bread crumb meatball. If it was busy I could excuse the mistake, but it was 2 pm and I was the only customer in the restaurant (& had already discussed the Ziti and told the guy I didn’t want it).
I had a Chicken Parm sub last week. $ 12.95! It was «huge», which was the only good thing I could say about it. The chicken was dry, tasteless and rubbery. The sauce only average.
If you ever go in there, read the prices on the Breakfast Menu, they’re mind boggling!
This restaurant has been around forever and I can’t quite figure out how it’s lasted so long. Below average food. Ridiculous prices. Incompetent staff. No parking. Dirty. Noisy. Messy.
What’s to love? I can walk there for lunch, but from now on I’ll drive somewhere decent.
BTW, there is one worthwhile special when it’s available. They have a large, 12 slice piece on special for $ 9.95 (eat in), once in a while.

I attend a function every year were they use Avellino’s as a caterer, and to be honest, I only go for the food. The steak tips are out of this world! I could eat just those. Also the chicken broccoli ziti is very good as well.

Amazing breakfast delivery. English muffin bacon egg cheese. Awesome.
Delivery was quick. Garlic bread was decent.

Avellino’s is a no frills family run neighborhood Italian Restaurant. It is the type of place where you see the whole family working the kitchen. I love that.
Their food is freshly made with giant portion sizes. They offer all types of Italian classic veal, chicken parmesan pasta dishes. On my most recent visit, I had a classic. The chicken broccoli ziti alfredo was perfect. A huge portion with pleanty of chicken and broccoli smothered in creamy sauce, piping hot when I got it home. All the entrée’s are served with a choice of soup or salad and an order of garlic bread.
This meal served two — three people for less than $ 15. Wonderful.

I come here for breakfast only. The line can take longer than getting the food. Quick solid breakfast without the hassle of standing around like in most Somerville breakfast spots… Worth a try.

This is my favorite sub place in Medford. Italian sub and steak tip subs. Love the Friday seafood specials and the quality and size of the subs are huge. They have fantastic service and an incredible staff. I would highly recommend this place for family and business orders.

WOW. I woke up with no food in the fridge and dying for a warm breakfast. Did I run to the grocery store? No. I logged into Foodler and found Avellino’s. I was a little leery at first. An Italian restaurant that serves diner style breakfast? But my hunger won. And within less than a half hour, we had the best breakfast ever. Huge veggie omelet with home potatoes, toast, and delicious pancakes. Everything was warm and delicious. I think I found my new go-​to breakfast delivery place!
