Dining in an Italian Restaurant doesn’t have to be a formal occasion. In reality it was meant to be a casual family affair. We’re not your typical ‘American’ style formal Italian restaurant dining affair. Let us tell you how dining at Aversano’s is more akin to what you’ll experience in Italy and some tips for when you visit next!

The More the Merrier

Aversano’s is not a stuffy restaurant you wouldn’t dare to bring your children. Aversano’s is a popular restaurant for family members of all ages and tastes. In our restaurant like in Italy, kids of all ages are more than welcome in all types of restaurants. Italians love kids and tolerate their presence in basically any situation. So why not in American Italian restaurants too? We don’t know why many Italian restaurants in this country have small tables and formal affairs. Here at Aversano’s you can bring the whole family, the cousins too. No size party is too big for us, because when you’re here you’re our family.

Save Room for Appetizers and Desserts for the full experience

A typical Italian menu is divided into antipasti, primi, and secondi, with contorni (sides) and dolci at the end. Italians have a full meal structure that sounds like a lot, because it is! Truth be told, Italians in Italy don’t actually eat every single course at every single meal. In Italy, a full meal starting with appetizers and ending with a dessert and coffee is typically saved for special occasions. The fancy Italian restaurants in America may make you think you must order from every section, but real Italians pick and choose. Do you want only two courses? No problem here at Aversano’s. But we’d love for you to come back and try because we have so much to offer!

Ask for Menu Recommendations

When in doubt, just ask. Our staff is knowledgeable about our menu and can make recommendations based on your palette. Do you get stuck in a rut and always order the same thing? Tell your server what you like and they can steer you to try something new! We have many beloved dishes at Aversano’s that are crowd pleasers that you might be overlooking.


Pair with Beer, Wine, or Your Favorite Cocktail

We wouldn’t want you to forget the drinks! You’re paying for a dinner out, not a drive-through! You’re dining out for the full experience and we wouldn’t want you to miss it. We have a great selection of drinks and also can make your favorite bar cocktail. Not sure what would be best with your chosen meal? Just ask!
