Piazza Gavi's is still an exceptional place for great Italian food. You are always greater with a smile and welcome. Fresh warm bread is brought to accompany the oil and balsamic vinegar already at the table. Menu is full of a selection of options to choose from. There is a specials menu, Happy Hour Menu, and more specials above the kitchen (where you can see the cooks busy making dishes and firing pizza pies in the oven) on a bulletin chalk board selections. No matter what...

I have been coming to Gavi since it was located off of Broadway. Last night I went for dinner and was surprised that they now are serving rolls and charging for refills. Seems there could be better ways to save money than to charge for bread. And please bring the other bread back.

I’ve been loving Gavi so long, half the people I’ve gone there with are dead!
Not to be morbid. Geez.
But RIP Adam, Micheal, Dad, etc.
Anyway, it’s a must go every time I come back to visit Tucson.
Which is often!
I also once got to do happy hour with Gavi himself! He was sitting at the bar that day with a bunch of regulars, telling WILD tales!
