                    Mussels were delicious very flavorful! Boyfriend loved his sirloin. Tiramisu was light and fresh. Espresso martinis were spot on as well.

                    My girlfriend and I went for an early dinner around 4pm. The noise was pretty quiet, the food was very good. We were happy to see how Gluten friendly this place was. The prices were great for a “fancy” dinner. You could wear hats or normal shoes but you could also dress up in a button up or dress shoes.

                    This was the first time at Avvio. Food was outstanding, the pork diner was extremely flavorful, but not overwhelming, very tender, perfect poutine. The chicken parm panini sandwich was a meal and a half. Great take home. Wait staff, smiling, friendly, being first time there pointed out some of their signature dish’s. Service was one of the best in long time for me as I eat out often.

                    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!
