Was Donna at Avvio a mag?
We had a fantastic dinner at Avvio. We shared the calamari and burrata appetizers and both were excellent. My husband and son had the steak special which they enjoyed. I had the scallops which were delicious. My daughter in law had the veal which was also wonderful. We indulged in expresso martinis to finish off our evening! Shout out to our server, Mercedes, who was attentive and delightful! View all feedback.

What Joey Combs dislikes about Avvio:
If you’re looking for the Newport Restaurant Group experience, you won’t find it here. This is for sure on the lower end of the NRG portfolio. Almost in every sense. View all feedback.
