Il Fusaro - AVELLA

We visited Il Fusaro on a recommendation from our AirBnB host and the positive reviews on TA. Unfortunately, we were disappointed with the experience. Firstly, the restaurant was huge and only 3 4 tables were occupied when we arrived. Great we should get good service. However, our first waiter was surly and not friendly. We asked for sparkling water very clearly in Italian (we speak English) and he gave us natural. Ok. Not a big deal. The next challenge was there was no English on the menu and we couldn’t use Google Translate because there was no coverage in the restaurant. So ordering was pot luck for us. But then it took 50 minutes for our first course to arrive after ordering it. This could be forgiven if they were packed, but the restaurant was only 15% full. No apologies were made for the delay. And other tables that ordered after us were receiving their food before us. It felt like we were the non locals getting bad service and the locals were prioritized. The first courses were excellent in taste so our moods improved. The seafood risotto was one of the best I’ve had. And the ravioli was great. And we got a different waiter who was very jolly and helped us feel better. Another let down was we ordered the house wine and it was terrible. Chilled **** in a bottle with no label. We have ordered house wine all through Italy for 4 weeks and always happy with the house, but in this case, it was undrinkable. It was not up to the standard of the food, which was good but let down by the wait and initial service.

This restaurant has an amazing menu, the food is actually something you expect in a fine dinning restaurant or a 5 star hotel. I would recommend that you book in advance for a weekend place. We went on a Wednesday and it was quiet, the staff were fantastic and I can't wait to go again.

Very nice local, helpful staff But pizza unforgivable to my taste!! Rubber. Prices are in line with the place, not too high. Large parking lot I think it's a good restaurant but nn a good pizzeria, I'll come back to eat some first or second

Good food and service ok!! Food: 4 Service: 4 Environment: 4
