" My family and I had a wonderful dinner at Ava. The ambiance was perfect for a family night out. I thought the portion sizes were spot on, and the food was fresh and flavorful. Our server was accommodating and made great recommendations. Will certainly come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing rave reviews, I finally tried Ava, and it did not disappoint! The handmade ravioli melted in my mouth, and the sauce was flavorful without being overwhelming. My only complaint is the wait for a table, as it was packed on a Saturday night. But once seated, the service was prompt and friendly. I will certainly return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had an incredible evening at Ava Tampa. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the staff was attentive throughout our meal. I tried the gnocchi, which was heavenly and had the perfect texture. Another standout was the tiramisu for dessert; it was the best I've ever had! I can't recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointingly mediocre. The pasta tasted like it was reheated rather than fresh, which really put me off. The staff was nice, but it felt like they were struggling to keep up with the lunch crowd. The vibe was okay, but the food didn’t impress me. I likely will not come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" We hosted a small gathering at Ava for my sister's birthday and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The private room was perfect for our family. We enjoyed a fixed menu, and each dish was exquisite. The service was exceptional; our server was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Definitely recommend for special occasions! " (*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*)
