We have dined at Avellino’s many times over the years and usually love it. We have dined there on a few New Year’s Eves and it was very good. This year was a disappointment. New Years Eve is our anniversary and this year was our 41st. We were seated immediately at our reservation time. Our sever was pleasant, however, it appeared they were very understaffed. It took several minutes for her to come take our drink order and even longer for them to be delivered. One of the drinks in our party was not even close to being made correctly and it took some time to get the server’s attention to order something else. Two appetizers were ordered. Again, it was too long of a wait. Both were lukewarm at best and both sub par in taste. Two of the entrees were served hot and were enjoyed. However, the other two were not even warm. They were actually cold. My guess is that they were both made in advance and refrigerated. Understandable as it was NYE. However, they should have been heated appropriately. They were not at all. All in all it was a disappointing meal, which I can honestly say has never happened before. Not sure what happened, but it was not the dining experience we have always enjoyed at Avellino’s - including on several holidays. I’m sure we will give Avellino’s another visit, but it won’t be for some time.

The restaurant is beautiful, the food was delicious. The waitress brought the wrong wine we ordered and wasn't out of her way to be friendly. But overall it was a good experience and I would definitely return!

Sturbridge is a halfway meeting point for our friends from Connecticut and us from Massachusetts so we are at Avelino a lot… It is our restaurant of choice in Sturbridge. Saturday night was extremely disappointing. It was very very busy. and shortstaffed. Service was extremely slow, took forever to get drinks. Was not our waitresses fault. She tried her hardest, I had the halibut and it was extremely salty… I think it was the mushrooms, but I did not eat it. They did take it off the bill so I appreciated that. But it was not the best dining experience. Very disappointing.
