                    They added additional items to the menu for the season which is a great idea to change it up and add more variety. My husband and I ordered the tuna and it was cooked perfectly. The addition of the citris and greens were a nice compliment to the tuna!

                    This restaurant doesn't have to be concerned about competition. There is only one Avvio! The ambiance, the service, the menu, and the food are fabulous.

                    Excellent! They added tuna and several other new items to their already great menu. Loved the tuna steak.

                    We usually love this restaurant. The bolognese is tremendous; and it was again. However, the chopped Italian sandwich was terrible; Do not order. My pork chop saltimbocca was supposed to be medium and is was rare; the plate was actually cold when it arrived at the table. The server was not attentive at all. We will check our legal seafood next time.
