We eat at Ava's a few times a month and have always had a good time. During the summer season and on many other weekends it's best to have reservations to dine there. Trendy and crowded.

Check-in was very pleasant and respectful; server was informative, friendly, and efficient; food, wine, and beer selections were perfect. Another great dining experience at Ava's!

The pizza was barely warm to touch, we didnt like the sauce, noise was so high you couldnt talk...wine is way to expensive for a glass. our server was very nice and accomodating....but made a mistake on bill (0vercharged) which I didnt catch till I got home.... I wont go back...

The tomato bisque was excellent, and a great starter. I had the Detroit pig pen pizza. Delicious!!! Excellent service.

we've been having problems with no servers being assigned to us until we finally go to front desk. also I don't like the new process where the server sticks a screen in front of you to pay without giving you a receipt in advance so you can check. They repeatedly forget to change the price on happy hour items when we go there. Just be on guard and you'll be fine. Everyone who works there is super nice, and the food is great.

In a town like Rehoboth Beach DE where the legendary Grotto Pizza, that has been serving pies since the 1960s, it takes a bit of chutzpah to open up a pizza restaurants right under their nose(s) (three locations in the heart of town) but Ava has done that and it looks like she is succeeding nicely! To be 100% transparent, I did not order the pizza but my table was smack dab within spitting distance of the wood oven and I saw the pies flying out of there and being whisked to the tables. I byself opted for the rigatoni with a Bolognese sauce and it was delicious - a big plate full of meaty sauce and not "ragu red" but a lovely creamy orangy tomato and cream sauce. With the entree I had a "dirty martini" which was full to the brim with tasty olives. The rigatoni was $23 and the cocktail $15. My server was very cheerful and efficient; she had a tall trainee in tow that evening who was equally accommodating. My only caveat to this 5-star review is that I had to ask for Parmesan, which came right away, but a diner shouldn't have to do that when ordering pasta in a nice place. The restaurant occupies a large space on the corner of Baltimore Avenue and 1st street and the tables are well space. It also looked like a lively bar scene and the bar was long.

Most enjoyable meal we had in Rohoboth. Noise level was moderate on a Sunday nite. Wait staff were attentive. Food was good. Meatball appetizer was fantastic. Margarita pizza was tasty, great crust, could have had more cheese, but still good. Wife had grilled chicken with arugula. She enjoyed it. Definitely going back on our next visit to Rohoboth.

Have been to Ava's many times. Food is consistent. But this visit it seems that maybe they forgot to make one of our pizzas because she had our starter and it was over 30 minutes before we got our pizza. There was no explanation given. I realize it was a Friday and was busy, but several tables that sat and ordered after us received their pizzas, so I can only assume that the order was messed up or missed. Once we did finally get it, it was good

Ava's is a nice place for us to catch-up with friends. The food is good, reasonably priced and the service is always good. This time we had Treasure as our server, and she lived up to her name. Also, we enjoy the generous benefits of your reward club!We'll be back.

We had been to Ava's before and always enjoyed. This is the first time we brought a group of friends with us and everyone raved about their meals. There really is something for everyone. And we tried everything from appetizers, salads, entrées, pizza and dessert. We will be back again.
Sat us next to the pizza station which was super hot. But it also allowed us to see our pasta dishes sit there for 10 - 12 minutes waiting for one persons pizza to be finished. Food came out lukewarm. Waitress offered to redo the pasta dishes but we were starving and unwilling to wait for it to be prepared again. Would have been delicious otherwise. Meatballs are amazing. Taylor was an excellent server.
Carl
Cesar salad, meatball sliders and pizza were excellent. Chicken in the chicken parm entree was somewhat dry! Sauvignon Blanc was excellent as well! Gavin our server was efficient and personable. Will continue to frequent your establishment when in Rehoboth????

Great first time at Ava's. Shared a thin crust Margherita 12” Pizza with mushrooms which was very good. Service was excellent. Pizza takes some time to come out (30 min or so) so be patient.

We have been here a few times. We keep going back because not many restaurants in Rehoboth Beach accept reservations, which is a must in the busy season. We usually order pizza, which is good ( I'm from NY so NO pizza in DE is comparable), this time we ordered chicken parm (small portion, not a great tasting sauce) and I ordered penne vodka which was watery with absolutely no flavor, even after drowning it with parm cheese. We will be sticking to pizza here. Service was excellent.
Dennis
The food and service was outstanding but we had the unfortunate experience of sitting next to one of the worst behaved families we have ever seen. So much yelling and screaming by both parents and children. They should have been asked to leave and their food should have been wrapped and given to them outside. No one should be allowed to behave that way on a restaurant.
