Best Authentic Restaurants in Avondale

Junior was our waiter and he was outstanding. Great server, super personality. Also, our steaks were cooked to perfection, melted in our mouths. Overall, an exceptional dining experience!

We absolutely love coming to La Verona. The food is by far some of the best! I love them gnocchi in Aurora sauce!

Fantastic! Already planning to visit again! We had planned a visit to Longwood Gardens on the evening of Christmas Day, not expecting to find a restaurant open for dinner afterwards. After an internet search and a phone call, we were delighted to discover that this Italian restaurant was indeed open on the biggest national and spiritual holiday of the year when chain stores and restaurants are closed. We made reservations for 7:30 PM on Christmas day. From the moment we approached the front door until we left, we were smitten. The place was packed full of couples and families with older children. Clean and well-lit parking garage was just steps away, the wait staff were knowledgeable and attentive (not to mention very handsome with thick Italian accents), the food was to die for, and the ambiance was charming. We wish we lived closer so we could eat here more often!

Went for Christmas Eve dinner with the family. The restaurant was beautifully decorated, the ambiance was lovely, our server (wish I could remember his name) was attentive and helpful with what and how much to order and the food was excellent! Highly recommend for any special occasion! Already want to go back to try more tapas! Thank you for a wonderful evening!

Loved the food. My quesadillas were delicious! Everyone else loved theirs too.
