Absolutely fantastic experience. First visit but not the last. Menu items ordered include; Caeser salad, Beets salad, pumpkin ravioli, meatballs, sole, and Eggplant Parmesan. Every dish was wonderful. Service was excellent! Ownership takes great pride in running AV!

I have been there twice thus far, the first time I had an amazing time. The food was great as well as the service. The second time was not the best experience, I brought a bottle of wine and the waitress open the bottle and spill it over my shirt. She didn’t even apologize or brought me something to clean myself. Management never came over to apologize it was horrible. So I had to spend the rest of the night with a stain shirt while in a date.

AV is my favorite restaurant in Scranton, hands-down. The food is consistently excellent, the cocktails are on point, and the atmosphere is lovely. Definitely get a reservation if you're planning to go on Friday or Saturday night! Even the bar seating fills up quickly on the weekend.

Octopus was very tender and delicious. The pork chop was a little tough. Everything is a little too salty. Maybe you can ask for less salt! The staff were super friendly and nice.

Perfect evening celebrating my birthday. The service was impeccable. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was cozy, as we were seated in a corner booth. The basil pineapple martini was spot on. Overall, truly an excellent experience.
Loved the restaurant and loved the atmosphere and the food and the waiter

What a find. Extensive and excellent menu. Loved the "old Scranton building" atmosphere with the gorgeous ceilings and decor to enhance.

Excellent food, served in an amenable atmosphere. The restaurant tends to be very loud.Although the food is good, but would be nice to see the menu changed up with the seasons.

I don’t usually do reviews, but I truly had a great time at AV on Thursday— I have never been here before and always wanted to try it. Our server was CJ who was very knowledgeable about the menu & helped us choose a wine. We had ordered their octopus & baked brie for apps and porcini cavatelli & duck for entrees. Both came out better than I could expect and it was very easy to tell the pasta was made fresh. Dinner was also extremely fairly priced for how much work the back of house puts into their food. Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone.

I finally made it in here after passing it downtown a bunch of times. I decided to go here with my boyfriend for our birthday dinner. We got reservations at 6pm and I had to park about 2 blocks away down a dark street. Once inside the atmosphere was nice with real candles on the tables. We started with drinks. I was stuck between the Sauvignon blanc and the rose and the waitress let me taste them to decide which I really appreciated. I went with the rose which was very good. My boyfriend got a gin cocktail that he enjoyed. We started with the calamari which was nice. They also brought out bread but they come by with a basket and serve you one piece on your plate and fill the dish in the middle with plain olive oil. My boyfriend wanted some extra spice so we asked for balsamic vinegar to go with the bread. For dinner I got the scallops and he got the salmon. They were both super good, but there was something soaked in balsamic vinegar on the plate with the scallops and I thought that was too much punch for the plate. For dessert we got the crème brûlée. I personally prefer the custard part to be in a more shallow and wide dish. It seemed like a small caramelized crust on a thick bowl of custard here. We boxed up our leftovers and were absolutely bummed to find out we left them at the table after arriving home. All in all it was pretty good and I would go again!!
