Great service, good food, lots of choices. The middle section can be loud, but the two outside areas are fantastic.

It is best not to order late as the taste of Frying oil from all day long is present
I used to have it for dinner now I order for lunch Because of that

Im not sure why this is listed as a hotel when its a restaurant. But the staff were friendly. I made reservations because I didnt know if we needed them or not. They have bar seating, high tops, booths and regular tables. The food was delicious. The cocktails were as well.

My family and I went to Avvio’s in Cranston for the first time, and it was a wonderful experience. We were greeted by the host very friendly and had no wait. We were escorted to our table by young lady. The experience was excellent from the time we walked in. Which is a PLUS! Trisha on the other hand was extraordinary. She was amazing, explained everything well and very attentive. She explained to us about Fare reward and without me asking she offered to fill my girl’s water sippy cup. We will for sure go back and will be asking for her and hoping she is working.
