Tonight was our first time to eat at Avo Restaurant. We were impressed by the exterior upon arrival, very attractive. Our server was extremely nice and the service was very good. Everything that we ordered was great. Really good authentic food rather than huge portions like some Italian restaurants. We very much enjoyed our experience and will return in the future.
The entire experience was great. Drinks were delicious, and every item on the menu was prepared perfectly. The meatballs, crawfish ravioli, and Brussels sprouts were favorites. The restaurant has a quiet, romantic atmosphere without being overly formal. Highly recommended!
Delicious meal, wonderful ambience, outstanding service. Home cooked Italian. So fine. Doesn’t get much better than this.
Food was excellent! Service was great! The cacio e Pepe was really tasty! Burrata was very creamy! Pasta was made perfectly.
Decor was lacking and there was a weird smell… it smelled very chemically and was giving me a headache.
Avo is a fantastic Mediterranean restaurant! Cocktails are generous. Everything I’ve had on the menu is delicious. Service is prompt. Walking distance from most of uptown past Jefferson. 2 courses if you’re pretty hungry, and 3 courses if you’re really hungry. If you’re a loner, cocktails and a meal at the bar works well. It will not disappoint. JP.
I had the chicken picatta and my friend had the snapper special which was in seafood bisque. Both were delicious.
Well renowned restaurant lives up to its name. Italian food mixed with New Orleans seafood and styling is a match made in my tummy. We went here for our anniversary & it was a good choice! We started with their seared Octopus & Arancini w/ Tomato Basil Sauce . Our entrees were both delicious, from the lobster shells to the crawfish ravioli. How could you go wrong with any of this!

Upscale Italian food in a pretty dining atmosphere. Homemade pasta was delicious, cooked perfectly al dente. Short ribs were tender but not dry and full of flavor. Pesto pasta was very good but shrimp felt out of place, dish was delicious without them. The special beet salad was my favorite. Definitely recommend we enjoyed everything we tried.
Great place, good selection of wines, great service, presentation of the food is amazing.
Soo many flavours in the food.
Should have more selections on pasta as the menu is small and sweet .
Always an exceptional experience. The menu changes up so you never get tired of going there. Excellent Italian wine selection and service is top notch. I’ve been going since they opened and they have a forever fan! (Always get the meatballs too!!)
We were really impressed with everything we ordered. All the food was just absolutely delicious. I got the pork ragu gnocchi, and the chunks of pork were so tender and flavorful. The beet salad was amazing if you like beets. For dessert, I highly recommend an espresso martini paired with the zeppole. Zeppole are like beignets but much airier and more delicious. Like eating a cloud!
We had a wonderful meal! The service was great. David was attentive, but didn’t hover. The food was outstanding! Surprisingly, the Brussels sprouts stole the show. They were roasty toasty with a tart and savory vinaigrette. The crab cacio e pepe was so rich, but light and so full of flavor. I am so glad we dined here!
Avo is amazing!! I’ve not had great experiences with fresh pasta in the past, but my fettuccine was perfect. They found a way to make the food delicious but light. Our cocktails, apps, salad, entrees, and dessert were top notch. The staff was wonderful and the restaurant was beautiful. We will definitely be back!
Such eqsusite menu items.
We tried nearly everything, from the octopus to scrumptious desserts.
Nothing disappointing.
Do yourself a favor and eat here. The food is fantastic. We got a few different apps and entrees for the table and everything was wonderful. The desserts could use improvement but otherwise, great stuff. We will certainly be back!
We had an excellent dinner here on a Wednesday night. The burrata with beets might have been my favorite, the flavors were so well balanced and delicious. Our pasta dishes (gnocchi and lasagna) were excellent too. The desserts were great, I've never had zeppole so light and fluffy, little clouds I thought might float off the plate, and my husband really enjoyed his ice cream sundae. Overall a fantastic meal, a great value, and a beautiful setting, highly recommend!
