I had my anniversary here and they made it so special. They brought a glass of champagne for us and a dessert on the house with a candle. The food was wonderful and the service was amazing. Highly recommend.

Our party of 8 had the pleasure of dining at Avucchella before a show, and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the owner, Pasquale, which set the tone for the evening. Every aspect of our visit was exceptional, from the attentive service to the delicious food. The staff made us feel right at home, and the meal was nothing short of outstanding. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience!
