                    We had McKensey for our waitress. She was friendly, courteous and efficient - just a delight. Food was great as well.

                    Overall we enjoyed our time and dinner at Avvio. The food was delicious, it came out piping hot just the way we like it. The clams zuppa was very tasty but the mussels and clams were very small. Our server Joseph was wonderful, great personality and very good service. He knew it was my birthday and because we didn’t have room for desert, he surprised me with a little box of chocolates and 2 shots of the restaurant’s homemade lemoncello. We had a great experience there and will definitely be back.
