Avenue Italy

I am truly appalled that I was charged five dollars to add mushrooms to my pizza. The pizza sauce also has absolutely no flavor. I thought it was strange that the (manager?) was doing the books at the table next to us. He was sitting there on his laptop with all kinds of receipts. Don't they have an office for that? Also, I've never found the service staff particularly friendly.

We were so lucky to stroll in to this restaurant late in the evening with a big crowd. They quickly accommodated us with friendly and fast service. Upscale casual dining experience. Atmosphere is sort cute with great ambiance. Family friendly. Lots of traditional Italian options on the menu. Food was served hot and portions were generous. Overall lacked flavor. Sauce was runny, veal was chewy..not enough to complain about, but nothing to write home about either. Would go back for a traditional Italian meal knowing what to expect.

I popped into Avenue Italy while visiting my parents nearby, and let me just say—the Spaghetti aglio olio e pepperino cheese was out of this world. I asked for extra garlic and chili flakes (because that’s how we do it when you’ve got Sicilian roots!), and they understood the assignment. Perfectly balanced, flavorful, and spicy in all the right ways. The Manhattan from the bar? Excellent. Strong, smooth, and clearly made by someone who knows what they’re doing. Service was warm and attentive without being overbearing—exactly what you want in a spot like this. It’s a little far from home, so I’m not sure I’ll be a regular—but if I’m in the area again, especially visiting my folks, I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend if you’re craving authentic Italian with elevated cocktails and a w

10/5/23 Simply fantastic. My wife and I stopped for lunch after visiting mom at Avenue Italy. We started with drinks and the eggplant parmesean for an appetizer, and wow, it was fantastic. Ernesto, our server, was amazing, professional, and friendly. The young man bussing tables was also kind and quite efficient. This place is a favorite when we are in the area. The decor and interior are quite exquisite and impressive. We sat in the patio and had a nice ocean breeze. For one entrees my wife had the branzino entree, and I had the salmon entree. Both dishes were well presented and prepared with flavor and perfectly seasoned. My compliments to the chef. This is a wonderful restaurant, and the food, service, and ambiance are stellar. Highly recommended. Previous visit What a fantastic find.

Such a great restaurant! After being in Italy for over a week, and finding this little gem to have similar great food as over there! It has an amazing aperol spritz just as good as I had in Rome and Venice Italy! Thank you for such amazing food, drinks, and service!
