Our Guestbook
“ Chicken Rudy 10/10. Need at least 85 characters to fulfill a review so this is the rest of it. ”
“ After driving by this restaurant so many times, I finally dined in at Pasta Avest & Pizzeria. My first impression when I walked in was how clean it was inside. There were 5 tables plus some seats at the counter to dine in. We placed our order at the counter and then found a table. The menu had many choices to select from, including a make your own salad and a make your own pasta dish. We ordered the garlic bread to start, I ordered the eggplant Panini and my husband ordered a pizza. Everything we tasted was very good and the portions were a nice size as far as the garlic bread and Panini were concerned. The service was very friendly and quick. I look forward to returning to this restaurant to try additional items off of their menu. ”
“ Service was excellent. We had penne ala vodka, salad and bacon pizza and all were delicious. ”
“ Under newer ownership but most menu items remain. Paninis were good and a good value as well and great chocolate chip cookies. I do miss the spinach based make your own pizza bowl and hope they consider bringing that back as it was one of my favorite items. Friendly service and a couple of tables to sit and eat but most take their food to go. Large pizza slices and pretty good salad bar although I do miss the pre-Covid make your own salad which charged by the lb vs the new per item pricing which means I can't make my salad exactly how I want as sometimes I just wanted a tiny amount of one thing and maybe more of another. ”
“ 5/4/24 We had a party at the restaurant (upstairs). The staff (Sarah {owner} & Tyler{Mgr.}), were OUTSTANDING!!! Extremely easy to plan with re: food selections, amounts of food, set up of room to accommodate our guests (30) & checking on us during the event. Sarah came upstairs w/ hot fried dough w/ Nutella drizzle which were amazing & unexpectedly, decided to walk around to serve our guests at the tables! Sarah & Tyler were constantly checking in w/ my wife & I, when they came up to check on us. The room was spacious & VERY clean. It was decorated w/ our choice of linen tablecloths. We were allowed to come in the night before & decorate for our event. The upstairs also had its own restroom. This was appreciated as we had some older guests who needed assistance w/ stairs to 2nd floor. Sarah also assisted some guests w/ their walkers. Food was accessible to ALL in an orderly manner to keep guests flowing. The food was DELICIOUS! We had several types of panini's (halved), stuffed breads, 2 types of pasta, & garlic/cheese rolls. We were allowed to bring our beverages in w/ coolers & it was much appreciated & saved us extra $. Overall, we will be back as will many of our guests, who LOVED the experience at this restaurant. From start to finish, it was a great event at Pasta Avest! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND their upstairs room & of course their food. What seals the deal is their customer service & friendly professionalism. This is hard to find at many restaurants! GRADE: A+ BRENT AIKEN No. Branford ”
“ YUMMY!!! Stopped at this place while driving up Rt 95. It's conveniently located off the highway. It's a cute little place. Had a broccoli rabe sandwich with fresh mozzarella and substituted the sausage for chicken cutlet. It was delicious beyond words. I love rabe and it was done perfectly with a little garlic. The cutlets were pounded thin before they were fried. My husband had the rabe sandwich and stuck with the sausage and loved it. My kids had pizza and the bbq Rudy sandwich. All were amazing. Service was great - we were greeted with a warm welcome. On my next journey to NJ I will definitely be stopping back. I love an authentic Italian place. ”
“ Under new ownership as of a few years ago, this place is a great Guilford spot! Definitely order the garlic bread with a side of vodka sauce! The pizza with meat sauce was also out of this world! And not pictured, but the chocolate chip cookies are homemade by the owner, and a must have! Highly recommend! ”
“ Pizzaiolo Luis makes a great pizza!! We got to see him making a few pizzas and it was a real treat watching the whole process. You'll find Wood-Fired Neapolitan, New Haven & Sicilian Style Pizza at Pasta Avest and Pizzeria and they're not just pasta and pizza. They've got Subs, Paninis, Italian Classics & Fresh Salads too! The Buffalo Chicken pizza was one of my favorites! I really enjoyed their bread pudding and cookies too! The owners and staff are so friendly and there is such an at home feel when you walk through the door. We had a blast and if you're in the Guilford area, don't sleep on Pasta Avest. This is most definitely a local business that you want to support and see thrive. P.S. Did you know? A Pizzaiolo is a chef who specializes in making pizzas and who has been trained to make real, Italian-style pizzas. ”
