Review of Avvio Ristorante

I was a little apprehensive going here, because I had a bad experience 4 years ago. But this time it was excellent. No separate gluten free menu, but items that can be made gluten free are marked "gf" on the regular menu. I ordered the chicken piccata and it was delicious! It came with roasted potatoes and green beans. Before ordering I questioned our server about how they would prepare it gluten free (gluten free flour? no flour?), and she was able to answer all my questions. 24 hours later, no ill effects so they definitely got it right. I do think it makes a difference if you go on a night that isn't as busy. We went on a Monday this time, and it was not crowded as opposed to the first time we were there on a busy Saturday.
