our first time at Avvio. The food was fine - however did did not have a lot of taste. We celebrated a birthday. While it was acknowledged, the server said "happy birthday." Not even the little one scoop of ice cream with candle. That was it.

We had a lovely meal, attentive service in a quiet, romantic atmosphere. Great fried calamari, eggplant parmesan, and pasta. The bread is extra special....warm, crispy crust, and the soup or salad served with the entree makes the meal a very good value. Will return and highly recommend.
