Food was fabulous! Italian staples such as Lasagna but also (delicious ) Salmon Florentine Modern, with fresh spinach rather than heavy sauce. It was quiet though full of patrons. Service was excellent and cheerful. Great spot!

Aventino's never fails to impress. Table was ready upon our arrival and our friendly server promptly took our wine orders. (BTW, wine is fairly priced). The Carpaccio and Garlic Bread Appetizer was fabulous! Thinly sliced beef drizzled with olive oil and well seasoned. A nearby couple also ordered it and their plate was wiped clean as was ours. We ordered the Manicotti and Branzino and both were well prepared and delicious. Too full for dessert but other tables were served Cheesecake and Cappuccino Ice Cream pie. Looking forward to our next visit to Aventino's.

If you want a quiet place to have dinner then this is your place! Wonderful menu is typical but also special Italian dishes. Foccacio mozzarella was outstanding and very different ! Four different dishes and each was delicious ! Got all three desserts to share! Each was as good as the next! Great value! Would go back in a heartbeat!

It was a fabulous dinner out for my birthday with my husband! We could talk and hear each other because the room is small and tables are set further apart. Our waitress was great, personal and attentive, made great suggestions on wine and helped us with menu selection because we both liked so many of our choices. We will be back in the future …again and again!

We really enjoyed the intimate atmosphere of the restaurant. We met another couple here for dinner and were able to enjoy a long evening of conversation with no music blaring or loud groups to compete with. The food was pretty good, but I wouldn't say it was outstanding.

Wow, we were blown away by the service, Sidney was amazing, and the food, which was awesome. Had two friends with us and everyone was trying all the other dishes and we enjoyed them all. Small place, reservations are required, but highly recommended. It is an Italian food menu and we can’t wait to go back and try other entrees!!

From start to finish- 5 star experience. We had planned to take a newlywed couple to dinner but they had to cancel. We then invited our neighbors to join us and it was a new restaurant for all of us. Erica promptly answered my inquiry about wine and we were pleased. The food was excellent from sea bass to veal all dishes were prepared properly. The garlic bread was yummy too and our server was spot on. We will be back!
