While scouting out Italian restaurants in the area, we stumbled upon AVVIO. From when we walked in to when we left, it was a great experience. We started out with a side of Meatballs and some bread. Both fresh and juicy! Then moved on to our mains. Across the table we ordered the Bone-In Ribeye, Fettucini A Mare Chiaro, Homemade Baked Lasagna, and the Penne with sausage.

Overall, this was a great food experience. The service was a b

Went to Avvio for a weekday dinner, my husband and I absolutely loved it! This is a restaurant that has been built with love and intention. The Aperol Spritzes were HUGE and so tasty, also cheap for Chicago at $13 each. They bring out a warm, fresh loaf of bread to start your meal. It's a personal touch that makes the homemade aspect of the place come to life. The pasta was absolutely delicious and definitely homemade. Our server and all of the employees were kind and courteous. We will definitely be back for their Happy Hour deals!!
