Avvio is an honest restaurant. The cuisine comes out as soon as it’s prepared. There were no surprises. The food was hot and tasted great. Service was also excellent. If you’re looking for very good Italian food on a Saturday night, Avvio is perfect. Now, it is a little congested by the entrance, hostess station, and bar. But other than this issue, I would recommend Avvio.

Always a great night at Avvio! We started with arrabiata pizza, which was delicious and cocktails were excellent, including the specialty sangria. We had the cajun chicken sandwich, meatballs and a two different salads for dinner. Everything was excellent!

Great food. Out wait staff was awesome. Manager came up and asked how everything was. Calamari was one of the best. Very fresh. Has the pork special and it was cooked perfectly. Only negative would be the ping coming from the kitchen. It’s their system that pings the cooks when a new order comes up. You can tell they are challenged with the music, restaurant noise and system pings. The system was probably meant for a closed kitchen. Anyway, a little annoying. That said, everything else was perfect.
