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!

As usual, the service was friendly and spot on, and the food quality was excellent. The paella was especially good and clearly not premade for reheating. Everything was fresh and delicious. The ambience was somewhat overly quiet because the restaurant had very few people last night. But always a pleasure to go back to
