I have never been a fan of Italian food other than pizza, that is. I don’t dislike Italian food. Know that I am in the minority on this, but it’s just not my first pick. You will never hear me say ‘oh how about Italian food tonight’ when deciding where to eat out.

So it was very out of character for me this week when I suggested the Dining Duo try Avellino’s. But boy, I got to tell you, am I ever glad that I did. It was probably one of the best lunch outings that we have had in Southaven in a long time.
