Food was great. We requested gnocchi, which was not on the menu that night. The owner agreed to prepare it anyway. Service was properly attentive, but not overbearing.
Our only complaint was the lack of adequate air-conditioning.
Closed. Gone. Bummer

Since my wife and I are both of Italian descent and can cook pretty well, we aren't huge fans of Italian restaurants but Avallone's is definitely worth the trip for authentic Italian!
We liked it so much, we went twice in one week and loved the fact that EVERY dish is cooked to order. The food may take a little longer to come out, but we found it very worth the wait.
The owner of Avallone's is Tom, who came by to introduce himself and welcome us. Tom's an extremely friendly guy who can teach Molto Mario from the Food Network a few things about cooking Italian food.
Tom also gave us a tour of his kitchen and his wonderful back yard basil garden. If you like fresh eats and authentic Italian, this is the place.
Our first visit to Avallone's was without our kids as my in-laws, who were down in Aruba the same time kindly watched the kids for a night. 1 Artichoke appetizer (a must have), 1 fresh mozzarella appetizer (very good with proscuitto & a pepper capanade), 1 chicken & eggplant special, 1 veal marsala, 1 cannoli, 2 decafs & 2 (yes 2) bottles of a 1999 Chianti Classico Reserve for $187 with 15% gratuity. YIKES, that's a lot of money but we did have two great ($40) bottles of wine. Stick to one bottle and your wallet and your head will feel better the next day.
Second visit was 4 adults and the kids. 2 Artichoke appetizers (like I said, a MUST have), 1 zuppa de pesce, 1 veal marsala, 1 chicken & broccoli, 1 chicken w/ proscuitto, 1 side order of spaghetti for my 3 year old, 1 Manhattan (cocktail), 3 iced teas, 1 chocolate ice cream, 2 tiramisu desserts for $183 with 20% gratuity.
Try Tom's fresh canolli's for dessert.
If you like Italian food, visit Tom at Avallone's for a scrumptuous dinner; you won't regret that you did.

Three of us went here for dinner one evening and while the reviews for this place are mixed, we didn't find it to live up to the worst of them! The waiter talked so fast we couldn't understand a word he said, the food was too expensive for what you got($20.00 for chicken parmigiana, $17.00 for lasagna) and the food was not very good. We twice asked for additional bread and never received it. The best part of the meal was the cannoli for dessert. And when are the bars in Aruba going to learn to pour a decent drink??? No wonder so many others just stick to beer and wine! Dinner for 3 with tip, one dessert, one coffee, 2 drinks, was $95.00.
