The menu offers a selected range of dishes that change daily, and while the portions are on the smaller side and the prices are premium, the flavors and cooking are highly praised. The pasta, such as the agnolotti, is fresh and well-prepared, and the restaurant also offers daily specials, like a pork tomahawk, which is a unique combination of pork chop and chorizo. The food is a flavor explosion, with seasonal ingredients that leave diners wanting more. The service is attentive and friendly, with a large staff of warm and energetic team members who ensure a fantastic dining experience. Guests at the chef's counter enjoy watching their meal being prepared, adding to the unique atmosphere that is warm and welcoming.

The restaurant also boasts clean bathrooms and convenient free parking, especially for those with reservations. Overall, Ava Genes remains a highly praised spot for a memorable Italian meal, loved by locals and visitors alike.
