Avola Kitchen and Bar

“Never heard of this place before we got a discounted gift certificate through Clipp. We've been there twice and really liked it each time. The food was really good and competitively priced relative to increased food costs everywhere. The service is noticeably better than average and the place itself is very nicely done.”

“Food was fabulous. Everuthing our table ordered was done to perfection. Crispy Brussel Sprouts, some of the best I have ever had, yes crispy! The outer layer had a nice gentle crisp and they were perfect. Bruschetta, oh so good. Tableside Ceasar prepared by Stephen, the owner, was fresh and tasty. Chicken & shrimp, Drunken Chicken, Chicken Parm, and Double Lamb chops, all extremely good dishes. Pasta was fresh and light. The Ricotta doughnuts were warm and a perfect finish to an amazing meal. Graham did a pheonomenal job as our server, Jerry the host checked in a few times and the acoustic entertainment from Dallas Malone and Ishah Williams was the right volume to enjoy the meal, your guest and their talents. Highy recommend this Malvern gem!”

“We recently visited Avola Kitchen and Bar, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. The food was delicious, the ambiance was perfect for a relaxed evening, and the service was genuinely the best we've encountered in a long time. Our server, Brittany, deserves a special shout-out. She was incredibly warm and helpful, guiding us through the menu and going out of her way to suggest and confirm vegetarian options. We were thrilled that the Chef also took the time to ensure and tweak a dish specifically to meet our dietary needs—that level of care is rare and truly appreciated. We also want to mention the helpful young boy assisting with water service; he made sure we were comfortable and checked on us every few minutes. The most telling part of our visit, however, was how the staff handled an unexpected situation. My 3-year-old daughter, who was feeling a bit unwell, unfortunately threw up by the end of our time there. The staff immediately jumped in, handled the situation with remarkable professionalism and grace, and showed genuine kindness and support. This emergency response truly demonstrated their exceptional character and commitment to hospitality. Thank you, Avola, for an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend this restaurant!”

“Excellent vibe with tasty food. It was VERY loud when we got there because there was a big party in the house, but then it calmed down and when the live music started at the bar, everything was good again. Food was delicious. We had a scallop fettuccine and drunken chicken cutlet, followed by the amazing ricotta doughnuts. Service was very attentive, yet not intrusive. I can't remember when was the last time we paid less than $100 for two meals and two drinks, but I guess that's the price we pay these days for going out to a nicer establishment.”

“Avola Kitchen & Bar is a solid 4-star Italian restaurant with a lot to offer, especially during happy hour. The atmosphere is inviting, with a comfortable and stylish setting that makes it great for a casual outing or a relaxed night out. The staff are friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience. While the drinks were decent, the standout feature for us was the happy hour menu—plenty of delicious food options at great value. Definitely a spot worth visiting if you're looking for a good meal and a nice place to unwind. The only slight downside is the desserts, which were a bit mediocre. I did enjoy the Italian lemon cake, but it's the same mass-produced Italian lemon cake you see everywhere. Overall, though, it's a great spot for a meal and would definitely go back.”
