Avo

Visited Avo recently for the first time and I had no clue I was gonna fall in love! It was super cute in the inside, very nice for a date night, even a lunch date! I started off with the gin cocktail with cucumber (I forgot the name) and the charred octopus! Both were surprisingly tasty! For my entree I had the lasagna which was a GAME CHANGER! I still think of it till this day. I gave the honeysuckle spritz a try but it's just not my cup of tea, so I doubled back to my gin martini. Service was great, food was great, drinks were great, everything was great! 10/10

This was a birthday celebration and I must say I was very impressed. Service is nice and attentive. Food was very fresh and tasty. All my taste buds were happy from the glass of red I had to the tiramisu for dessert. The pistachio ice cream was yummy too. The crispy calamari was super fresh and exquisite, just forgot to photograph. Please make a reservation. It might be best to Uber because parking is a bit difficult. There is not a parking lot; only street parking. The ambiance is perfect for a girls lunch and/or with that someone special. The place can be rather loud if they are busy.

Avo is romantic and nice without being too fancy! The restaurant is a little small, so I would probably make a reservation if you can. We loved the $10 spritzes and Baked Ziti special!

I came here during coolinary so I can only give a review off of that and the entree I had isn't even a regular menu item. I looked at Yelp before I came and saw they had kale caeser salad so when she brought me romaine I was a little sad but the menu had been updated. I went out to eat before I came here so I was stuffed already but the pasta so so good and I definitely want to go back

I've been meaning to go to Avo since it opened but somehow just never got there. I finally made it over last month!We shared a special bruschetta with salmon and a caesar salad to start; both were great. Then we all opted for pasta as our main with one bolognese and the other two the crab cacio e pepe. The pasta was outstanding and everyone loved their dishes; mine was loaded with crabmeat. We ended our meal with cheesecake, tiramisu and zeppole. I was glad the sauce came on the side of the zeppole so I could dip and retain the crispiness of the pastry. The pistachio ice cream was great too. And my dining companions loved their desserts too.We also had a couple of cocktails and service was great. The whole meal was quite nostalgic for me since I used to eat at this location, long ago when it was another restaurant. Parking is on the street and reservations are recommended.

I debated between 4 and 5 stars for this one, but in the end landed on 5 because of the helpful, professional service.Service and ambiance were 5/5. Our waiter was very helpful and the staff did a great job accommodating allergies (although they use peanut oil for frying so beware if you have nut allergies). Calm and comfortable environment. We really enjoyed it.Food was 4/5. Meatballs, eggplant, and gnocchi were delicious. The fried calamari was delicious. Lobster pasta special was okay--very fishy. I was surprised that for a place that specializes in pasta, the noodles were a bit rubbery. Fish entree was fine as well. The gnocchi side dish was one of my favorite parts of the meal--get it!Worth a visit!

The homemade pasta was delicious. Our server was great and very helpful. Perfect date night or girls night out atmosphere! Will definitely be back and order that squid ink pasta again. The tuna crudo app was also super delicious.

We decided to ride down Magazine St and try a restaurant we never had. Drove further Uptown and rolled up to a nice lil spot on Magazine St & Eleonore St. Appetizers:Caesar Salad & Meatballs - Good Mains:Bucatini Cacio E Pepe & Gulf Fish - Both were delicious.We will be back.

This was my first trip to AVO. The restaurant is very nice ambiance. A little noisy when full but not disturbingly. It is clean. We went at 6:30, before the crowd arrived on a Saturday night. Therefore the service was fast. The wait staff was knowledgeable and friendly. We had the fish, duck and octopus. All of them were tasty.

Food was just ok. Wait staff was fine. Nothing special about this place. The dishes had very little protein. And medium taste nuisance. I wouldn't recommend going here.The sound level was pretty high
