Nuovo never disappoints. The food is excellent, the service top notch and friendly. The ambience inviting. This was our second time celebrating our anniversary here, and we've both agreed it will be for all future ones as well. We cannot recommend them enough!

Chicken parm was large and tasty. Couldn't finish the whole thing so I took it home. The Calamari was also fresh and delicious. Would recommend this place to anyone wanting good Italian food.

    Had a wonderful dinner at Avvio. Looking forward to going back. My husband loved his chicken Piccadilly, a nice piece of chicken breast; not processed like some review mentioned. I had the penne con pollo which was great last night but lunch leftovers were even better. For desert we split a piece of cherry olive oil cake with lemon curd, delicious. Our waitress Kate was very efficient and checked several times to see how we were doing.

    Wonderful dining experience, especially for diners with celiac or gluten-free diners. They encourage family-style dining with small plates, pastas, main dishes, and desserts. All of the waitstaff is very attentive and knowledgeable about dietary needs.

    Fantastic as usual! I’m so glad you brought back the baby arugula salad! That’s a great salad. Keep that on the menu! Chicken Gorgonzola is amazing. Keep up the great work!
