    Brought visiting family from Alaska for an early dinner and was impressed as usual! New Manicotti is a wonderful addition to the ever changing menu. Our server was excellent and gave great information about the menu to help us choose our entrees. Ambiance is always beautiful and the seating is very comfortable. Thanks for another exceptional experience!

    Grilled octopus was tender. Bread always warm, fluffy and baked fresh. Chicken and veal parm is a gigantic serving with tons of value. Pasta is al dente and served perfectly. Service is always 10/10, will never hesitate to reserve a table at Avvio.
