:faint: That hurt my head:killingme

Actually I thought is was delish and the price was great. I got the Calzone, I dont recall which one but it had a ton of stuff in it. I looked at prices else where for a Calzone and it was a lot higher and you had to pay for each item that was in it. So it was a lot higher.

Does Ken Rossignol own that place?

No he owned the previous pizza place in the same location.

Probably not the right place to put this, but I had to say something. I was on Long Island this weekend and my friends and I went to an Italian restaurant. And I mean a real one. I thought I died and went to heaven. I had a chicken cacatorie (sp?) in pink sauce that was wonderful. That and the cold antipasto and fresh baked bread with olives in it was the best. My friend had a white bean soup that was outstanding. Specials too numerous and complicated to repeat.

Best dinner I've had in a long time.

Bring me some antipasto and the bread. TIA.

Next time come up with me. This guy makes everything in house to order. Nothing pre-packaged. He even makes his own mozzarella. The only thing he didn't make was the shells for the canolli.

Man, I'm getting hungry again......

You're back in So. Md. Have some cheeze-its.

Yes it was good!

Antipasta - Great
Calzone - Great
Gellato -Great
Service - Great!

I got a veggie calzone to go. The veggies were onion, green pepper, and mushroom - That's it, no eggplant, no broccoli... and the mushrooms were definitely canned - they had that slimy rubbery canned consistency. And to make it worse - I got it home and there was no sauce with it. Yes, it was fairly cheap, but I'd rather spend a little more and have something that tastes good. Very disappointing, and I won't go back.

How does this place compare to Patruzzi's (We ate there a couple weeks ago and there food was extreeeeemly bland....and the MEATBALLS SHRUNK!! What the heck happened? Not like Patruzzi's was that great to begin with).

Looks nice!

I went to Bistro Avellino tonight, got a Stromboli. Very good. The owner, Mike, and I talked for a while, talked about some of the other places on Long Island he used to own that I went to.

He's a bit disappointed right now for the lack of business, but he said the other restaurants are very slow too. He is seriously considering closing for 2 months. He'll loose less in sales than he puts out in fuel and electric to keep the place running.

I haven't been disappointed with Chef's American Bistro (I have noticed that they change up the same dishes a bit) though I have read many people on here had bad experiences.

We tried the place too. Upon entering we weren't greeted so it was hard to tell if you seat yourself or wait to be seated (no sign). After a few moments of us looking bewildered a guy behind the counter acknowledged us and told us the guy at the register would help us. Well, guy at the register kept us waiting another minute or so as well. I think the cook is the one who actually came out and seated us.
So, we look over the menu and the watiress comes up and asks if we know what we want. No suggestions, no asking if we'd been there before, nothing.
Hubby asked for the portobello appetizer, a couple of beers and indicated we needed another minute or so to ponder the menu.
Ultimately we ordered a clam linguini dish and the stuffed shells with side salads. Salads came out and they were not impressive. Then, the meals come out. Granted, the meals were not bad in taste but the portion sizes (for the money) were less than desirable. I think I could've easily opened a can of clams myself, thrown them on a bed of linguini and poured some butter sauce over it for a fraction of the cost.
Hubby asked waitress if she forgot something ............she looks bewildered so he had to remind her that we ordered the portobello appetizer. "Oops, I forgot", she says. She did bring it out in a to-go box and removed it from our bill. We opted to go ahead and eat it before we departed. YUK! I wasn't impressed with it so I'm glad we didnt have to pay for it afterall.

Overall impression :boo:
I don't think we'll be back...................

Let me tell you Bistro Avelino has excellent Pizzia and Calzones even cold
the Calzones are good.Mike the owner is a very nice guy.I agree that the
employee's could be more welcoming to the customers they are not very
friendly.

I work at a near by bussiness and we order from there often a big thumbs
up Great food.
