Reviews for Avellino Bakery & Pizza in Rutland, VT
If I could rate 0 stars I would. First of all my sister had a gorgeous wedding the only thing off putting was the awful,... overpriced catering order she had ordered from Avelinos. The first issue was my sister paid for the catering, thinking she hadit all paid for she decided to spend her money elsewhere on the wedding decor and other things, apparently this was not the caseshe needed another $1900 to pay for DELIVERY. Now $1900 is a lot of money so we thought this must be them serving the food andeverything as well, we were wrong this was just for them to drop the food off on the counters And leave. So I helped her pay fordelivery as I would not a problem because it?s her special day. This in all costed $3700 in total. There was 3 pans of chicken,3 pans of beef, 3 pans of mashed potatoes, 3 pans of veggies, 1 meat and cheese platter and 2 veggie plates. Enough food for200 people which is fine. Everyone got their plates and sat to eat, it was DISGUSTING. For $3700 I could?ve made food thattasted like gold compared to this place, the beef was unbelievable dry and tasteless, the lemon chicken had mushrooms in it alsofine although I?ve never heard of mushrooms in lemon chicken, but the chicken was okay, slightly dry as well but not terrible.Mashed potatoes were not mashed whatsoever and tasteless as well, cooked veggies were probably the only thing Worth eating.Every one of the guests had the same opinion including the bride. Don?t get your events catered by these people. Very veryunsatisfactory experience. Read more
My new weekly ritual on Tuesday is to order my dinner from Avellinos. Rigatoni with meatballs and Italian sausage. Homemade... Italian bread also included. For the price...usually $11, you get your to go container full of delicious pasta with sauce andparmesan cheese. Don't care where you dine in Rutland...for the price, you get enough food for at least 2 meals. Plus I get tosupport a local business, and a fellow moose lodge member. If you haven't called them before, perhaps give them a call sometimefor dinner on a day you're unsure of your dinner plans. You won't be disappointed. I believe orders are taken from 4-7pm. Takeout of course. Read more
Ordered wings the week before Christmas Eve, arrived to pick up the wings today and was told that they ran out of teriyaki... sauce...so I asked if they tried to call and let us know, but apparently they did t have our number even though they returnedour call early in the week when we placed the order :/ I asked if we could just have the wings in a different sauce, he saidall they had left was 30 wings, we had ordered 5lbs!!! He gave me the wings at a DISCOUNTED rate, whatever that means becausenow I have to go to the grocery store and get more appetizers. Food is always good, customer service is horrendous. Read more
Have gotten pizza here for years and always a great pie! The people that work here are always polite and thankful for the... business! As a matter of fact I am going to order 2 pizzas right now! Read more
We ordered three sheets of pizza for a kids birthday party and the price I paid was $3 more per pizza than advertised on the... board. This is really minuscule however my two star rating is based on the gentleman's response to me asking about the pricedifferential: no real answer other than we ordered off the catering menu. Maybe the $9 fee is to assure my pick up time but thiswas not offered as his answer. Next time I'll pay the extra money and take our business down the road. Read more
Last fall I needed to feed close to 40 university students that were on campus early for training. Avellino's brought us a... wonderful meal that was hot on time and delicious! Also, anyone involved with college students know they tend to eat more thanan average adult. There was plenty of food for all with some leftovers that they fought over to take home. Thanks for awonderful meal! We will definitely be using Avellino's again. Read more
I hired Avellinos to cater a team dinner but only received half of the food I paid for,thus not having enough food for the team... dinner. despite acknowledging their mistake and their lack of customer service regarding the same my phone calls have beenignored and they have refused to reimburse me for the food i paid for but never received.thank god for Dominos pizza coming tothe rescue and providing pizzas at the last minute to save the dinner. Please do not give these people your business. Read more
