" The desserts were the highlight of our meal. We tried the cannoli and tiramisu, and both were divine! The service was friendly, but we did wait a bit longer than expected for our entrees. Overall, decent dining that I would return to, especially for dessert! " (*Curated Review*)

" The portion sizes weren't substantial for the price, but the flavors were bold and delicious. I highly recommend trying the seasonal dishes; the chefs really put a lot of thought into the recipes. Service can be hit or miss, but overall a pleasant dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" The pizza was excellent, with a tasty crust and fresh toppings. I found the prices reasonable, but the service could have been improved. It was packed, and our server seemed a bit overwhelmed, which led to an extended wait for our food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ava is where I found my new favorite comfort food. The eggplant parmesan is to die for! The layers of flavor are unmatched. The staff was incredibly gracious, and the atmosphere made me feel at home. I can't wait to bring my family here. Truly an experience worth reliving! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ava is a hidden gem! I went there for brunch, and the bottomless mimosas were a steal at $20. The avocado toast was excellent, but the real star was the fluffy ricotta pancakes. I love that they offer healthy options alongside the traditional brunch staples. The servers were friendly, navigating the busy environment with ease. I will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time at Ava, and I was pleasantly surprised! The meal was quite good – my salmon was cooked beautifully and paired well with the seasonal vegetables. Service was prompt, and I felt like they really cared about my experience there. I left full and happy, a must-visit if you're in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ll be short and sweet. Delicious Italian food, fabulous cocktails, and nice people. I tried the mushroom risotto and it was packed with flavor. Couldn’t have asked for a better meal. I’ll be returning for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
