    Service last night was lacking at best and the food coming out cold ruined the entire night.

    The restaurant accommodated us early which was helpful. Our waitress, Emma, was outstanding. She had great recommendations and asked the chef for special deletions and add-ons. The portions were decent and the food was delicious. I wish I had room for dessert.

    My friend and I are frequent visitors of Avvio. We always order the D’ Avvio salad. with blackened salmon cooked medium well this time our salmon came out raw in the middle. We had to send it back. The manager wasn’t not apologetic. They could’ve at least comped our beverages or a dessert, but we got no compensation whatsoever and giving a review with you people on open table doesn’t really help me point wise because your website does not allow me to go in and redeem any points from my iPad or my iPhone.
