“ I went here tonight with a group of 7 coworkers for dinner. The white and red sangria were both phenomenal. I had the penne con pollo which was a huge portion and was delicious. Ask for the focaccia bread for the table, so good. The only negative was that it was extremely hot in the restaurant and everyone at the table was overheating. Overall, I enjoy the atmosphere. It's a convenient location and great place to meet up for a drink as well! ”

“ Avvio is a solid Italian restaurant. The candle lit atmosphere is great for date night or friends gathering. The service was excellent, attentive and friendly. A good appetizer was the crispy spiced artichokes hearts, dipped in white bean puree. The wood grilled mushroom pizza, with added sausage, crisp crust & good sauce hit the spot. Our favorite must try dessert is the Affogato, it's so yummy. The vanilla gelato with Amaro liqueur and a shot of rich & roasty espresso poured on top is Bam! A Great ending! ”

“ My first but certainly not my last visit! Super star service and delicious food. Make a reaervation, if you can, because it is one popular joint. I love that they have a wide selection of mocktails for lunchtime - or Dry January - imbibes! ”

“ This one of my favorite place to go for lunch, the food is amazing, i ordered the eggplant parmigiana with linguine omg delicious the egg plant is fresh soft, saucy and cheesy. The service is also phenomenal. They are on top of the game for time and on point with the refills. Ambiance is great you can feel the positive energy with the people enjoying their food. I recommend this place for sure. ”

“ Had a nice outside dinner on the patio tonight! I tried something different the risotto & asparagus with grilled Shrimp & it was out of this world! My husband had encrusted cod it was great too! Great service & nice fall weather & pretty string lights everywhere . ”

“ Avvio is our go-to restaurant, nice atmosphere, great food, consistent, good menu and the manager Michael is very attentive and aware of the dining room. Excellent Crispy Artichokes, Pasta with Rabe, Chicken Milanese and Piccata. Wonderful warm Focaccia and Olive Oil! Great desserts. Best to make a reservation. ”

“ Always nice to have a ladies who lunch moment on a shopping day with Grandma! We wanted something healthy and light, and Avvio always does the trick. The air conditioned interior was a welcome respite from the sweltering heat wave outside, and we were ushered promptly to a comfortable and cushy booth in the smart Sinatra inspired dining room. Our server was friendly and was doing her best with a busy section, however, when our drinks came, the iced tea was super watery and even after a refill of fresh tea, it did not remedy the situation. I switched over to Diet Coke and our server was hospitable enough to take the ice teas off the final bill, which was much appreciated. The food looks delicious, and I'll definitely be trying that Gnocchi on a future visit. However, I was looking forward to an Elite Event later that night, and wanted to eat lighter with their wonderful Caesar salad. The dressing tasted homemade, and I would totally order again. We'll be back for sure! ”

“ My wife & I tried Avvio because we had a Gift Card and we had a wonderful experience. We walked in at 430p with no reservation and the gentlemen at the host table was super nice and sat us right away. Our waitress Asia was outstanding! We started with a Margarita pizza for an appetizer and it was good but not a wow. Actually didn't come out very hot. We both wished the pizza had more sauce, cheese and basil. For dinner I ordered Chicken Parm and it was good and came out hot. My wife got an Eggplant pizza and she enjoyed it and that too came very hot. What I also want to point out is the nice ambiance of the restaurant. I felt like I was in a very exclusive and high end restaurant but felt comfortable. I'll go back and recommend others do to. Total meal was $92 and that included 3 glasses of wine and 2 beers. ”
