This restaurant has good service and the most delicious food! I recently heard what has happened and I'm so sorry that these individuals are taking advantage of your business. It's sickening to know that these people will use any excuse to justify their actions. Wishing your business continued growth, faithful customers, and multiplied blessings. read more

Everything we ordered was very very good. Started off with garlic bread.. Shrimp scampi portions are pretty big shrimp. Scampi was not too garlicky. Wasn't overloaded with butter flavors were fresh. Linguine with clams all the flavors together we're good nothing overpowered each other Was not a fan of the spumoni I thought I'd be an ice cream. I didn't like it as a cake. Service was great read more

Avolio's Italian Restaurant - Italian Near Me - Covina, California

This place was recommended by a colleague at work, and I am so happy I finally went. I ordered the pepperoni pizza, caesar salad, and the fried zucchinis, and both of those items were so good. The fries zucchinis are probably some of the best I've ever had. The service was great, our server was so friendly and helpful. I went on a Saturday afternoon and there was no wait, we were able to get seated right away, which was nice. The restaurant wasn't too loud, it was a good volume level to have a nice conversation. I will definitely be back. read more

Finally got around to trying Avolio's after passing by it so many times. When we entered we were immediately greeted, had about a 5 minute wait. Place was clean and well maintained. We got the appetizer sampler (wings, calamari, and cheese sticks), fettuccine Alfredo, beef ravioli, and a pepperoni pizza. Everything was amazing, came out fresh and a in a timely manner. Our waitress Allie kept checking in on us and made sure we had everything we needed. For the portions and quality, the price is well worth is. If you're in the mood for some delicious food, this is your spot to go! read more

The spaghetti and meatballs had an aweful foul flavor and after taste like dirty faucet water , and the soup was bland no flavor it had old frozen saugy vegetables with a bitter after taste of of an old cup of water . A total waste of money tonight . I had to throw it away . They should not use faucet water to boil their noodles . Or change you piping I will never order from here again Nasty read more

Any place that makes a great wing is high on my list. Avolio's definitely has the feeling of a family run joint. My friend used to live nearby and came all the time. We did a pizza with wings and it HIT. Perfect for good food at an affordable price that hits the spot so well. read more

I wish I knew this place existed sooner. This mom and pop place is a great place for some great Italian ambiance and good food. Our server Bella was attentive and friendly. I had the eggplant parmagiana which was perfectly seasoned and breading was so crunchy with a beautifully savory marinara sauce. I would definitely be returning soon. read more

10 stars! The service is always good with any waiter we get. The chicken parm is good abd comes with a huge piece of chicken, mozzy sticks are good, sausage and cheese pizza is lovely and the pepperoni pizza is delectable. The wings are so dang fire theyre like wings you used to get back in the day just good and big wings with great buffalo sauce not too spicy at all but they got a kick. Shrimp alfredo was wonderful. and they garlic bread and garlic cheese bread is nice and crunchy ok the bottom and soft on the top. Ive tried alot of their menu and everythings been great not had a bad dish or experience. you can drive by 1000s times and youll never notice it but this is covinas best kept secret. Only thing bad about this place is the carbs! read more

LOOOOVE this place! The price is worth the quality. The buffalo wings have a great crispy with each bite and the sauce is so good. The pizza is also bomb because the crust is fresh and the cheese has a great pull. Every time I go here I am never disappointed. The service is very good, attentive and kind. Parking can be a bit snug but they do have spots in front of the restaurant. read more

It was really warm inside the restaurant on a hot summer day. Service was a bit slow. Each time we asked for something, we had to ask again because he forgot. Each dish was pricey for being basic. Flavor was basic too. The garlic cheese bread was hard to eat. Chicken Parm was frozen chicken tenders. read more

Very disappointed. I ordered the veal marsala and the menu says it's "served with a side of spaghetti," so I expected plain spaghetti on the side. Instead, it came covered in red sauce, which was never mentioned in the description. I don't like red sauce, and it completely changed the dish. When we asked, the server said "that's just how we always do it," but if that's the case, the menu should clearly say it. Even worse, they said they would charge extra if I wanted plain spaghetti, even though my order wasn't correct to begin with. Very unprofessional and misleading menu. read more

We were craving pasta and went to Avolio's. We didn't wait long for a table and dove right in to delicious pasta and garlic bread. I had angel hair pasta with shrimp and veggies and it was so good. It was light not too heavy and I really enjoyed my dish. The service was excellent. We were greeted at the door and it was a busy night. We were a Party of 5 and we waited for about 20 minutes. read more

I've been coming here for about 15 years. The food is absolutely delicious. Fresh ingredients and the taste is authentic. I've been to Sicily and Italy... and this place comes EXTREMELY close to the real deal. The service is excellent. It's a family owned and run business. The servers are friendly and knowledgeable. There is plenty of room for a couple and/or a party. The place is always clean and organized. Great place to eat when craving authentic Italian food. read more

Quite unassuming from the outside. Soft white light bulb with opaque white and orange speckled shade hanging overhead lent muted lighting over the tables. Our Server Jennifer was friendly and attentive. My son ordered the Dinner Shrimp Scampi while I chose the Dinner Capellini con shrimp. Our order came with hot and fresh off the oven garlic bread. He finished his pasta with gusto. I got full from the side Caesar salad that we added so I had leftovers. Jennifer was nice to box it for me. Parking is free, wheelchair accessible too. read more

Well I ordered spaghetti with meat sauce. I didn't like the pasta. It was kind of raw. I must say. The service was excellent. They were always coming around asking if we needed anything. The atmosphere was a little noisy. But these customers were having a good time. So who would complain about that? read more

The food is great but the only thing that I didn't like are the utensils. It was so hard for me to eat the pasta I ordered because the fork is so thin that most of the pasta falls off the fork before it could even reaches my mouth. read more

My neighbor decided to treat us for dinner. Ordered take out. He has been frequenting Avelino's for over 30 years. I definitely understand why. Great authentic pizzas and pastas. Everything was outstanding. We had a pepperoni and sausage pizza, chicken Alfredo, chicken, marsala, and garlic bread. I even had to call to complement the chef.. my whole family enjoyed the meal. Even my picky little son cleaned his plate.. great portions and price point. read more

Apparently this place has been around since the 70s. No wonder it's a neighborhood favorite. Great food, great service (most of the time), easy parking and fair pricing. Our favorites are (any) pizza, the antipasto salad, baked eggplant parmesan, chicken piccata (although last visit it was way too salty) and the chicken Marsala. Definitely on our regular rotation now. read more

Inside is a little dark, nice large space and plenty of seating . I have ordered pizza for pickup prior but this was my first visit dining in. Our server was amazing, very friendly and helpful, also handled a large party gracefully. The food I found to be fine, maybe it was just what I ordered. I thought the carbonara was just okay, I did have their soup which I found to be pretty tasty. Plan to get their pizza on my next visit. read more

Stopped in for lunch and took advantage of their "Lunch Specials" menu. They offer a selection of eight menu items, all for $9. Of course, several selections offer add-ons with the pasta dishes, like chicken ($3.75) or shrimp ($5.50). There's also a "Dinner Specials" menu for $13, with the add-ons increasing to chicken ($5) or shrimp ($7.50). We had the Lasagna lunch special, which included garlic bread, and we added a small Caesar Salad for $4.25. The food was tasty, and the service was adequate. The restaurant itself could use a major makeover. All of the booths and décor look worn and dated. read more

I absolutely love this place. We drive about an hour just to eat at this restaurant. Best Italian food besides visiting someone's Nonna. The service is amazing, in fact in the couple of years we've been coming here we've only ever had one subpar experience and we've never seen that server again. The food is absolutely fantastic. You can't go wrong eating here. PS our server tonight was top notch. It's Valentine's Day, super busy and never felt neglected. Thank you Bella you're the best! read more

We came on a Tuesday evening and instantly got seated. We got the lasagna, chicken parm and my mom got some spaghetti plate. Pros - it's one of the best lasagnas I've had in a restaurant. My wife and mom both liked their plates too. Not much to say. - complimentary bread (not bad) - friendly staff -Nice clean restaurant -generous portion sizes Cons - none Overall 8/10 read more

First off we love this place. We were served by Donald today. I must say he gave us a 5 star experience. We were taking my mother in law out. She loved her plate. That atmosphere was so beautiful. We enjoyed wine. The food deserves a 5 Star Michelon rating. This is such an amazing place. My fiance and I started our relationship here. Please support this place. Thank you again Donald. read more

I was really looking for a place that really served great pizza. I read reviews and looked at the pictures and picked Avolio's. First time ordering from them. I was excited to try them out! The service was great when I walked in and picked up my order. Very friendly staff. Unfortunately, I guess I picked a bad night. This pizza reminded me of the pizza I used to get back in elementary school.. it was 90% crust, hardly any sauce.. I even reheated it the next day and had to throw it away. I hate giving bad reviews, especially with the economy the way it is. But this was just plain awful. I will keep searching for that great slice...it wasn't here.. read more

The one thing I'll warn you about Avolio's Pizza, is to not overeat! The pizza is about as good as I've ever had, EVER! Generous Toppings! Perfectly balanced sauce! And the crust is next level! I don't waste a single crumb of it! And the cheese? A thick gooey layer hardly seen these days. If you're gonna have pizza, why not go all the way! read more
