" I'm a huge fan of Italian cuisine, and I had such high hopes for Avo. I was excited to try it after hearing so many good things. The food was good, but honestly, it didn’t really blow me away. My pasta dish was tasty, but I've had better elsewhere for a similar price. The service was okay but not the best I've experienced. Perhaps I went on a busy night? I might give it another shot and try different menu items on my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you want to savor genuinely authentic Italian cuisine, Avo is the place to be! The highlight of the night was definitely the homemade pasta. My friend and I were simply blown away by how fresh everything tasted. On top of the food being stellar, our server was knowledgeable and suggested wines that complemented our meals perfectly. I enjoyed the setting—it struck a great balance between elegance and intimacy. I will be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Restaurant Avo is a must-visit! Every plate I tried was bursting with flavor and high quality. The cocktails were equally impressive with a creative twist on traditional favorites. Our server was incredibly patient as we decided on what to order, and they guided us through the menu—very helpful! The ambiance resonates a chic yet relaxed vibe, perfect for a fancy night out without being uptight. I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Although I had heard tremendous things about Avo and was excited to try it, I was ultimately left wanting more. The food was decent, but not memorable. I had spaghetti carbonara, which lacked the richness I was anticipating. The atmosphere was lovely, but I found the service to be subpar—our waiter seemed distracted. This place has a lot of potential; I hope they can elevate their dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Avo was good, especially the pasta dishes, but I found the service lacking. Our waiter seemed preoccupied and forgot a few items we ordered. The ambience was fitting for a romantic dinner, however, I felt the food could have been seasoned better. All in all, decent but not the best experience I’ve had. Worth trying again perhaps. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience was lovely from start to finish! We had a reservation and were promptly seated. The decor made for a cozy dinner. I dove into the lasagna, and it was divine! Every layer had its own set of flavors without being overly heavy. I also tried their zeppole for dessert, and they were deliciously light! Great service from our waiter too, very attentive without being pushy. Will continue to recommend Avo! " (*Curated Review*)

" Avo is simply phenomenal! I cannot rave enough about their octopus starter - cooked to perfection! The balance of flavors was something I never expected, and I surprised myself by finishing it all. For my main, I had the gnocchi, and it was light, fluffy, and melted in my mouth. The wine pairing suggested by our server was spot on. The service was helpful and genuine, making the overall experience very enjoyable. I can’t wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)
