AVA Cucina

Not good, food tasted like it came from Shaws ready to heat up section. Staff only interested in those whom seem to drink a lot of wine. Log and line lunch was better than this place. Many empty tables on a weekend peek time, not a good sign-Cheers!

Hate to say it, but this place is simply horrible. I am from the area and want this place and other local businesses to succeed, but we've eaten here three times while hoping that the prior meals were aberrations.  Unfortunately the third time was not the charm.  The owner/waitress could not have been nicer...she and her family are all sweethearts.  Unfortunately the food is just awful.  After our second dinner I gave the manager some of my thoughts.  The first being if you want to promote yourself as a good iItalian eatery how can you serve "parmesan powder" ???   I am talking about the cheapest of the cheapest SYSCO cheese.  Kraft from the green container would be INFINITELY better.  But when we visited this time....it was still the inedible powder.  if my kids turn down parmesan cheese you gotta know something is amiss. I just shook my head.  The meals lived up to that standard.  We've tried every type of dish to find a keeper, but consistently get rubbery chicken, greasy marinara, frozen ravioli. bad pizza. I am so sorry to write this.  This has inspired me to  seriously consider opening a competing joint given the crowd that gathers for this place.

By far the best Italian restaurant on the South Shore. I do not know where to start on my food recommendations, but I guess it would have to be the lasagna, then the eggplant Neapolitan, and of course the over sized antipasto.
Really everything is good here at this family owned and run Italian eatery.
Annette runs the front and her husband spins up some of the best food this side of Italy.
I know food and this place is reeeaaaly goooood!
