" What an amazing dining experience! The food was exquisite—fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor. The staff was super engaging and attentive, making sure our needs were met without being overbearing. We had the meatballs as an appetizer and they rivaled my Italian Nona’s! For my entrée, I had the special seafood pasta, and it's safe to say, I'm still dreaming about it. Will definitely return for another fantastic evening at Avo! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I had a couple of good dishes at Avo, I felt it overpriced for what we received. The portions were a touch small and didn't justify the price tag, although they did have a great wine selection to complement our meals. Service was adequate but not remarkable, and the setting could use a little charm to enhance the ambiance. I'm on the fence about returning in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden gem in the city! The atmosphere was cozy, and I loved the rustic Italian decor. The pasta dishes were made fresh, and you could really taste the quality in every bite. I had the squid ink pasta which was something I'd never tried before, and it was so flavorful. Service was attentive yet not overpowering, making the dining experience enjoyable. I highly recommend Avo for a romantic evening or a fun night out with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Avo last week, and the experience was mixed. The ambiance was classy, and the decor definitely sets the mood for a nice night out. However, my entrée, the pork ragu, was a bit too salty for my taste. I had to drink quite a bit of water in between bites! The server was nice, but I felt they could have checked on us more frequently. I'd give it another try to see if it's just an off night. " (*Curated Review*)

" tried Avo for a special evening, and I can confidently say it did not disappoint! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. The decor gives a relaxed vibe which was perfect for unwinding. I had the lasagna and it was layered beautifully without being overwhelmingly cheesy, while my partner enjoyed the colorful beet salad. It felt fresh and vibrant. The drinks were exceptional, and the dessert was the cherry on top. A must-visit! " (*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*)
