Ava Gene's is nothing short of exceptional! 🌟 We celebrated my birthday here, and every moment was delightful. The kanpachi appetizer melted in my mouth, while the arancini and smoked corn were absolute must-orders!
For the mains, the tagliolini and corn agnolotti were divine, perfectly paired with a Pietradolce wine recommendation from our friendly server, Nico.
We finished with espresso gelato and their unforgettable butterscotch pudding. The atmosphere is romantic, and the staff made our evening unforgettable. Just be prepared for challenging parking. Definitely worth a visit! 💖
