Avena Downtown

INCREDIBLE experience here.... EXCELLENT service & FANTASTIC food. We'll be back for the Veal meatballs & crab gnocchi. Also, a Perfect dirty martini & excellent red wine suggestion with our meal.... and don't skip dessert! Fabulous.

Very attentive and efficient service. Great seating near large open window; almost like being outside. Felt safe.

Absolutely loved this place! Stumbled upon it for dinner and the staff was super nice and welcoming. They have a very cute and safe outdoor seating area. The food was fantastic.

Even with the Warren Wilhelm table setting government mandated to-go cutlery and flatware, the food was excellent. Everything we ordered was perfect, including pasta which I never order unless I KNOW a place. The live soft shell crabs were perfectly pan fried. Just a lovely place.

A definite find. Atmosphere and ambiance is comfortable and enjoyable. Good is fabulous and prices are affordable. It's a nice find on the lower westside for lunch or dinner.

Food was delicious and service was wonderful. Outdoor heated seating or indoor seating with plenty of space for distancing.

WOW.. what an experience. The food was excellent. I love the house made bread and the service was amazing. Such a great atmosphere. The flower arangements were so beautiful. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great Italian meal.

Every bite was awesome! From the Zucchini blossoms to the risotto... couldn’t be better... all backed by incredible friendly staff and great service
