Avalon Pasta Bistro is a festive neighborhood-oriented BYOB in Downingtown (suburban Philadelphia) serving tapas style rustic Italian cuisine. Our price fix menu is served in small portions family style, promoting social interaction while giving everyone the opportunity to try many foods. Each person orders 1 homemade pasta dish and any other 2 items (flatbreads, antipastis) they choose. Each person receives 3 shareable small plates. Most portions are 6-8 bites. We also offer an extensive cheese program.

Chef John Brandt-Lee's sister restaurant, Avalon West Chester, has received many accolades, including Main Line Today's "Best BYOB" and New York Magazine's list of "101 of America's Most Delicious Noodle Dishes." In continuing this tradition, Avalon Pasta Bistro's menu include dishes, such as Crab & Lobster Ravioli in a Saffron Tomato Mussel Jus; Veal Cheek Ragu; and Ricotta Gnocchi with Apricot Ver Jus Sauce.

For your convenience, we offer adults 2 complimentary glasses of craft beer (Victory Brewing Company) or housemade sangria. We welcome you to bring any other spirits you like and look forward to serving you real soon!
