The friendly and courteous staff, the outstanding food, and the efficient service all contribute to the ambiance felt by those who visit the restaurant.

Rustic Southern Italian kitchen with strong influence from Tuscany. All professional staff with over 30 years experience."It is most certainly a gourmet establishment with a menu from top to bottom that is exquisitely creative with tastes and flavors and choices that make selections so joyously difficult--and with a wine list to match food and pocketbook. Consider this the now best Italian restaurant in the state. Three cheers for Biagio the chef.""Concealed jewel, but easily accessible off the parkway. Esteemed staff that goes about taking care of your every need, especially the maitre d'. Exceptional menu with meals that make you crave for more. The homemade pasta dishes are unequaled to any place in the state. This is an elite restaurant that I will entertain my family and my business clients at. Head chef will go above and beyond his means for satisfaction of customer."

Our party of 8 had the pleasure of dining at Avucchella before a show, and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the owner, Pasquale, which set the tone for the evening. Every aspect of our visit was exceptional, from the attentive service to the delicious food. The staff made us feel right at home, and the meal was nothing short of outstanding. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience!
