Aventino Bethesda Reviews
Very disappointing, especially at this price point.
Portions of pasta were surprisingly small. In a party of three, orders of pasta didn't come out together -- one person in our party was almost finished eating before the third person was served. No explanation, no apology. Quality of pork use
The service was outstanding.
I enjoyed the ambiance. I had the corn ravioli with blue crab (i forget the exact name). It was a tiny portion for $38, yet I admit I'd buy it all over again as it was one of the best pasta dishes I've had.

We had a reservation but can early and ended up sitting at the bar and it was so much fun! The bartender makes amazing drinks and also have a lot of fun with the guests! Even gave us a free sample at one point! Huge wine selection and the food is har
An eclectic menu for an Italian restaurant.
I found very little that was appealing. The $17 glass of Pinot Noir was a very small pour. The flatbread was more like focaccia. Pasta portions were very tiny and had unusual combinations of ingredients. Although the decor was attractive, it was no
I would say the interior and location for a nice sit down
I would say the interior and location for a nice sit down restaurant is the appeal here. The inside is nice and clean and spacious. Having a larger table is definitely not the issue at this location. The service was impeccable as we were the only l
Sat at the bar for happy hour and every bite was better
Sat at the bar for happy hour and every bite was better than the next! Menu online differs from bar menu. Bartender/waiter was excellent. Pasta was perfectly Al dente. Left full and happy!
Aventino is easily one of the best places I've been to in
Aventino is easily one of the best places I've been to in Bethesda. The service is top-notch, and the atmosphere always hits the right note. I first met Joe behind the bar, and he's been a standout ever since. There isn't a drink he do
Extremely loud restaurant, nothing sad special here
What a disappointment, extremely loud dining area, waitress practically yelling at us to explain the specials . Food was average at best, nothing special here. Similar to eating in a loud food court at the mall.

The food was nothing special, if you have had the opportunity to travel in Italy. Their problem is and i'm sure they're well aware of this is the incredibly loud noise level. We were in and out of the restaurant less than 40 minutes. Even o
This literally just happened.
We came out here for the first time with some family who were in town for the week. We made a reservation, we were seated, we ate and talked, and everything was lovely. Nice and attentive staff, good food. Everything was fine up until the last 10 min
Great experience.
I hosted a group of 10 colleagues from work. Dinner was excellent. Service was great. Highly recommend this place in an otherwise mostly average Bethesda restaurant scene.
Okay Italian Food - Nothing Special
We were expecting this restaurant to have exceptionally good food, but we were unfortunately underwhelmed. The appetizers and pasta dishes were so-so. They weren’t bad, but they just didn’t stand out and weren’t things we would want to eat agai
Expensive Pasta with a Side of Noise
This restaurant purports to be Bethesda's latest and greatest. At first it seems nice. While limited, the menu had some appealing options. But the choices are few and seemingly constructed to force customers toward a pasta dish. I think I kn
amazing food and service
Food was amazing !!! Our server Codie was perfect, and the "birthday queen" got an awesome rose cake. Will definitely be back
Great Dining Experience - Unique Culinary Approach!
My wife and I dined at Aventino last evening and had a great experience. This was our first, but definitely not our last visit. From our warm greeting at the hostess desk by Selam and Francesco, to the attentive service from Olivia, we had a wonderfu
Perfect, attentive service and a delicious assortment of beautifully prepared food.
I had dinner here with 2 friends, and we shared all of the dishes that we ordered, 3 starters, 2 pastas, 1 side and 2 desserts. Everything was absolutely delicious, in generous portions. We were unable to finish all of our food. A couple of highlight
Lunch at Aventino is Fantastico!
Best lunch in Bethesda. Aventino is delicious and the setting is idyllic. There a few truly special lunch spots like Aventino. The service is friendly and efficient. We were celebrating, so we lingered. That said, I saw folks on obvious schedules who
Good dinner but…
We ordered the pizza rossa, misticanza salad, vongole, ravioli, rigatoni, patate and cavolo. All were excellent. The desserts - torta della Nonna, hazelnut torta and caramel apple bodino were just ok. The decor is nice- trendy and eclectic but ta
This place has potential
The ambiance was nice, and the menu was authentically Italian…but both the service and the food fell short. Our server tried, and had a pleasant attitude, but she made several mistakes (including putting in the wrong order). When another server al
Dinner in Bethesda, MD
Came here for a gf’s birthday dinner—packed house for a Saturday night. Has a very energetic vibe—a bit too loud for my preference. Service was great—our server Miguel was friendly, helpful and attentive! Overall food was good. For appeti
Connect with users posting reservations for Aventino Bethesda
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Aventino Bethesda. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Aventino Bethesda at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Aventino Bethesda page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Aventino Bethesda to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Aventino Bethesda!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
