Nearly 50 Years of Italian Cooking in Rego Park
Avellino Ristorante & Pizzeria has been feeding Rego Park since 1977 — same kitchen, same heart, same love for the table.
Avellino Ristorante & Pizzeria | Our Story
Rego Park, 1977
A family opened their doors on 64th Avenue and made a simple commitment: cook real Italian food, treat every guest like a neighbor, and show up every single day. Nearly 50 years on, that commitment hasn't wavered once.
The Room That Feels Like Home
Walk in and you'll understand immediately — red chairs, checkered floors, the smell of garlic bread coming from the kitchen. It's not a stage set; it's just what a neighborhood Italian restaurant is supposed to feel like.
More Than a Pizzeria
Yes, the pizza is excellent — it's been drawing loyal customers since the Carter administration. But Avellino is a full ristorante: al dente pasta in rich house-made sauces, breaded cutlets, stuffed flounder, tiramisu that earns its own mention in reviews.
Generations Keep Coming Back
We've had guests tell us they've been coming for 20-plus years — now driving in from New Jersey just to sit down and eat the Veal Franchese. That kind of loyalty isn't given; it's earned one plate at a time.
