The 27-year-old Alvaro is the third signing under new coach Anthony Griffin, joining Jack Bird and Poasa Faamausili in the Dragons squad for 2021.
Alvaro was granted a release from the final year of his contract with the Eels to join the Dragons immediately, where he will reunite with Griffin who was his under 20s coach at Brisbane.
Alvaro had a mixed season in 2020, playing just two games for the Eels before he was loaned to the Warriors for six matches.
After five solid seasons with the Eels from 2015, Alvaro fell out of the starting side in 2020 after the addition of representative prop Reagan Campbell-Gillard and the emergence of Oregon Kaufusi.
The addition of Alvaro comes after the Dragons released Korbin Sims and Jason Saab, leaving three spots in the squad to fill before the new campaign kicks off.
The Sydney Roosters have re-signed Sam Verrills and Sitili Tupouniua to three-year contract extensions.
