Located in the heart of Garden City which is always a fun place to visit with family and friends, my spouse and I went into Avivo with no expectations. On a Friday evening, the restaurant was busy but there wasn't any wait. We got a spot at the bar, and our bartender was really friendly and attentive. We ordered a few drinks and dinner. I had an espresso martini which was delicious. They had a great selection of wine and the bartender found one my wife really enjoyed. The food was great, I had a chicken caesar salad and the Mrs had a wrap that I did not try but she thought it had great taste and was very fresh. Would love to come back and try more food soon. Definitely found this to be a great place for a night out.

First time dining at Avvio and it was ok for me. Typical Italian foods; VERY HEAVY and RICH.

Had to send back overcooked chicken. Had the others taste it and they agreed it was super chewy.. Kale salad had grit in it. Was very pricy 16.00 . Not sure what the uncharge was in lieu of string beans, but based on the check two of us must have gotten charged the full side order. Not a happy client. Maybe a bad night.

Haven't been there in a while. Food is still fabulous. Our waitress was on top of everything. Only downside was the price of the Martinis. Bit overpriced compared to where we have been having lunch.

Our server Ryan was spot on with great service. My wife and I with another couple had not seen each other in a while and we got caught up in conversation. Ryan was completely understanding and very attentive with a great personality. When we return and we will I will be requesting Ryan D again.

There was a great atmosphere to the restaurant. We had the chicken & Veal milanese; bologonese and meatballs all were delicious. We tried red blend wine that was yummy! Server was pleasant & efficient.

Usually the chef/kitchen is very accommodating. I often have chicken Marsala which is not on the menu. I can't have any garlic so red sauces are generally out. Apparently they didn't have the ingredients tho they had Chicken and mushrooms. Ordered a pasta dish but the chicken was pretty dry. Server was excellent. Husband had chicken piccata but serving was smaller than usual. Just the first time I've been disappointed.

Love go in there great drinks great. But I was disappointed they got rid of the best blue cheese dressing you ever had. The cauliflower soup and the fresh squeezed juices that they used to mix the.

The waitstaff, food preparation by the chefs, and atmosphere at Avvios was excellent as it always is. We really enjoy dining there and so do many others because there is always a very good turnout of patrons every time we visit. The food is always great and reasonably priced. Joe H

Our return experience at Avvio, Cranston, RI was as exceptional as always. Our wait staffer, Joe P, was very knowledgeable and very accommodating and very friendly. Our two entrees were very delicious and very well prepared. Thanks for making our Sunday lunch visit so, so pleasant. We shall continue to keep Avvio on our frequented restaurants list.

Food was fabulous. Service was horrible; the waiter was cold and rushed us through our apps, meal and coffee, to the point that he was waiting for the check while my friend was getting money out of her wallet The restaurant was not busy and the bar was half full Very bad experience

Visited for the first time with my husband. The service was very good and the sangria was delicious, but the food was just OK. The focaccia bread was just meh. It came with oil to dip but there wasn't any garlic or seasoning in it. My husband had the Avvio burger, and he said it was just OK; very basic tasting. His fries were luke warm and there was barely any Parmigiano on them. The calamari was a bit chewy for my liking but the batter was light. (portion size was small for the price) For my entree I had the veal Parmigiano. The first thing I noticed was it didn't taste like Italian breading. This veal tasted like a frozen veal patty, like something that you would buy from Restaurant Depot. The prices did not match the quality. Unfortunately, this was a one and done trip.

Good but with prices that should make it phenomenal. Food is good, menu changes and the staff is very good. Been here several times but no dish has ever blown me away. I will say dessert is to die for.
