    We live a couple blocks from Avli and probably visit every couple months. It's always solid. Nice cocktails, good food, and the service is always on point. Great spot during the summer with lots of outdoor seating. Worth the stop if you're in the neighborhood.

    Horrible service. We asked for the check after the appetizers because we couldn’t get anyone to take our dinner order

    Erin, I'm incredibly sorry to hear that this happened. This is absolutely not representative of the standards we set for our service. If you would please reach out to us at taverna@avli.us, a member of our management team will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you.

    Great neighborhood restaurant for lunch. There are three different bowls..veggie, chicken and shrimp..each more delicious than the next. And an amazing three course special. A gem!

    The branzino is so delicious. Cooked and seasoned to perfection. Also the shrimp saganki…and the hummus with charred bread is best in Chicago. Love this restaurant.

    We loved the zucchini chips and the chicken kabobs were delicious and moist. The place was small so it was very loud. Cocktails were very good and the value was good too
