    Service was outstanding. Food was average. Lots of olive garden type choices. Too much white cream sauce on food items.

    Aventino'sResponded on September 22, 2023

    Thank you for your review. Our menu is comprised of over 53% marinara supported menu items. This will include Fettuccini Fungi, Spaghetti Marinara, Spaghetti Meat Sauce, Tortellini Rosa, plus 10 others. All of our sautéed dishes are accompanied by a side of spaghetti marinara. 35% of our menu is neither cream nor marinara based and unlike the "boil-in-a-bag" restaurants like you mentioned, everything is made fresh. Hopefully this will help. Our staff is also available to assist as well.

    The fettuccine fungi is our new favorite dish- if you love mushrooms and spice try this one- fantastic as always. The service and food was wonderful. We were caught an hour and a half on the highway and by the time we arrived we were starving and frazzled- it all disappeared when we were seated- thank you!!

    One of my favorite restaurants in Fort Worth. If you want to have an ACTUAL conversation, and not have to shout to your fellow diners over ear-splitting music, have a wonderful meal with top notch wait staff at a reasonable price point, not be rushed and enjoy the quality food and ambiance, Aventino's should be your go to place.

    This was our first visit. The food was good and the service was also very good. the menu is a bit limited- no pizza and only a couple of chicken dishes, no beef, but a lot of shrimp dishes and pasta. It's definitely worth a try- we enjoyed it!

    Aventino'sResponded on August 8, 2023

    Thank you for your review. We currently have 6 chicken entrees listed and the ability to add grilled chicken that will pair perfectly with 5 other pasta dishes. We have 7 beef entrees available some as veal. We encourage you to ask our servers for suggestions. Pizza does not complement our menu or our decorum. There is a great place for that food down the street at MAMA's. We hope to see you again soon.

    A friend and I had a quiet girls night out at Aventino’s and it was the perfect place. Our reservation was timely, the atmosphere warm and hospitable, the wait staff attentive but not overly so, and the food was absolutely delicious. It reminded me of the small family owned Italian restaurants I found in Italy. Although,It has been many ears since I’d been to Aventino’s, I can assure you it will now be at the top of my list for an intimate and relaxed evening out w/friends

    Aventino'sResponded on August 8, 2023
