JenAlio's — Restaurant in Vernon

Cute small little restaurant. They have a drive through and a tiny shelf/table you can sit inside. There were two very friendly and kind men running the store. When I arrived there was 1 person in drive through and 3 people inside. These workers got everyone out of there so quickly! It was great efficient service. After taking my order it was ready in under 10 minutes. Hot items were packaged seperate from the cold items. The worker opened my salad after purchase to put fresh croutons and parmesan in so everything was crunchy and fresh to eat. The pasta dishes come with focaccia bread which is delicious! I got the penne with italian sausage and 2 meatballs just to try the flavor. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. The meatballs were so flavorful and you get 1 whole Italian sausage! The desert was very nice as well. A little sweet for me to eat in one sitting but it was still just as good the next day. I really enjoyed...

Oh my goodness, this place was on my radar ever since we came into town and it did not disappoint, the food is fantastic!!! This Italian food is made with pure love and is super flavorful. Hubby had the arribata with sausage, perfectly flavored, with the perfect amount of spice, and the sausage was delicious. I had meatballs with penne and it was rich and savory, I wish I had gotten more so I could have leftovers tomorrow! The pasta is perfectly cooked as well as the foccacia slices. I recommend getting a couple extra slices, you will not regret it! The dessert looked fantastic, but we usually are not dessert people, but I would expect it's just as good, and perfectly portioned, so you should bring some dessert home too. We met the sister and brother, and they are so friendly and inviting, you can't help but love them and their food. What a gem here in Vernon! Do not miss this amazing...

This is my 121st eatery in Vernon on my quest to eat at every eatery in Vernon.

I always walk by Jenalio's on the way to Kal Beach or Alexander's for trivia.

I finally gave it a try on July 19 2023.

I came in ten minutes before closing. The owners still took time to explain their expansive Italian menu.

I appreciated the map of Italy on the front door. I couldn't find the tiny village in Calabria where my cousins and ancestors are from, though.

I paid $17ish for their Pasta of the Day (bolognese) and a can of ginger ale.

Since they were about to close, I didn't ask if I could eat inside on the ledge or the outdoor table.

Therefore, I walked to Kal Beach and ate it at a picnic table. It tasted really good.

I highly recommend this spot. I found the prices very reasonable.

I only like Italian food when visiting Italy, but Jenalio's is one of the...
