Absolutely incredible experience. Amazing communication to help plan a special executive work outing. The chef tasting menu food was full of unique flavors and creative combinations that you won’t find anywhere else in Rochester. Every dish paired perfectly with the wine selections, which the staff recommended with real care and knowledge. The service was warm and genuine, making the entire night unforgettable. Highly recommend.

Their selection of meats were quite surprising and good. They had it all, venison, beef, pork, lamb, frog legs, duck, octopus, the works! Definitely some interesting and tasty selections to try. The only issue we had with this place is that we notified waitress of gluten intolerance and asked about a dish and she said it was okay. It arrived with an orzo looking pasta that when I asked her again was made of gluten. She brought another dish but luckily I didnt just take her word for it the first time.

We had the best time in this place!
Was our first time here and we loved everything about it.
The food was amazing, they had a special drink, which was out of this world!
My partner had the duck and I had the burger and we were so happy with both meals.
We’ll be back!!

Unique dishes, great cocktails and extensive wine list makes for a wonderful dining experience. Intimate yet comfortable atmosphere. The staff was attentive without being overbearing. You can tell they know their stuff, we enjoyed the recommended Concord Grape Cocktail and when I asked for a dry red recommendation (I like dry dry, like moisture sucked out of my mouth dry) the server suggested a Cotes du Rhone that was just fabulous! We had the Charred Octopus appetizer (a must try!), the venison curry and the Avvino burger for meals and the chocolate cake for dessert. All were fabulous and generous portion sizes that we were able to make a second meal out of our leftovers. We had some more drinks at the bar after dinner and had a wonderful, lively conversation with their bartender. Overall just a great experience and we will be back!

We had a great first experience. The dining room was a beautiful space – relaxing and cozy. Great food options. We ordered different dishes and every one was so fresh and bursting with flavor! Our server was very informative and made a lot of good suggestions and was very friendly and attentive. Well worth the drive from Buffalo!

About 4 years ago we used to go for tasting menu. It used to be a ton of fun, great food and an amazing time. But we called to do a tasting menu and they said they’d call us back. They never did. When we followed up they told us they have never done tasting menus. Then called us and said they do do them. Overall was very confusing. Then when we got there the menu was underwhelming. One of the courses was a straight bag salad from tops. They could have at least gone to Wegmans. We get the bill and we’re charged $130 each for a menu that felt like a mediocre wedding catering. So lesson learned. They do NOT do tasting menus. It was an overall frustrating way to celebrate some life moments. I wish they would have just told us no from the beginning

I loved dinner at Avvino for my boyfriend’s birthday dinner! I loved the ambiance of the restaurant and thought all of the staff were kind and professional, especially our server. Our food was absolutely delicious and I loved my Pinot noir and filet mignon, which was prepared beautifully. Will definitely be back again!
