Aviano's Italian Cuisine - Longview

If I could get away without even giving one star, I would. This place has the worst food. It shouldn't be called Avianos Italian Cuisine; it should be called Chef Boyardee's Italian Disaster. I am third generation Italian, and I know good Italian food. Hell, my family COOKS IT! We got salads and a pizza. You know how most caprese salads are nice, chunky slices of fresh mozzarella, with fresh basil, and juicy tomatoes? Not here. They didn't get that memo. It was tiny mozzarella balls with cherry tomatoes, no fresh basil, only dried. The salad was DRENCHED in balsamic vinegar. The bruschetta was the same. I imagined that ordering the bruschetta would feed my family of 3. When it was delivered to our table, it was one, singular piece of toast, equally drenched in balsamic vinegar. It wasn't bruschetta.. it was bruschitta. Seriously, if I wanted balsamic vinegar, I will go to the store and buy a bottle! When our pizza finally arrived, after about 20 minutes of waiting (the chef forgot to turn on the pizza oven.. like.. what? the pizza was so crunchy I could barely eat it. It tasted bitter, and was absolutely flavorless. You know how when you go to most Italian restaurants, you leave with that nice garlic flavor in your mouth? Not here. The sauce had almost no taste. We ordered the margherita pizza. Usually these pizzas come with fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, and juicy tomatoes. Not here. No basil. No fresh mozzarella. We literally ordered variations of the same dish all night, and each was equally as disgusting. We ordered simple pizzas, and even those were horribly screwed up. So in conclusion, after paying a hefty $50 for just my husband, my 2 year old, and I, we left with almost empty bellies because we couldn't eat their pizza. We ended up going to yet another restaurant just to get full for the night. It was a terrible experience. I'm sure others will have different experiences, but please, heed mine as a warning. Do not go into this restaurant with high expectations!!

Unfortunately the past reviews continued to fit. The young man that waited on us was brand new. It was very quiet so we thought we could be patient and help him move forward with his career. He had no idea what wines they had or didn 't have from the wine menu. Also no food menu knowledge. Every question needed to be responded to by the manager. Bread with olive oil and balsamic came out that was completely overwhelmed by the oregano that was added to the dipping sauce. Once our entrees came out veal Marsala and Tuscan chicken barely warm. We asked for them to be redone. Seemed simple. At this point still we were determined to be accommodating. Once the manager(? came back he offered us free dessert. We 're not dessert people. We asked about a comped after dinner drink and were reminded that was 'illegal '. Ok so how about a comped entrée ? Nope. Took off the $3.00 up charge for Greek salad. Needless to say we paid our bill, no tip and left this review.. Probably the worst dining experience we have ever had. Manager all hat no cattle

Really great food. Fresh, quality ingredients. Would absolutely be back recommend.

I Switched my trading to Alex Monalisa a few months ago after going through a lot of losses ,I invested with her and let her manage my account. I. Was so impressed with her work, She is really a trusted trader . So far I have been earning $7450 every 5days of investing $1000. I’m getting used to their platform. I’m Happy to continue trading with Mrs Alex Monalisa may God continue to bless you Ma

Just left Avianos. Had the Taste of Italy. Lasagna was good but the chicken in the fettuccini was room temperature and the chick parmigiana was not good at all. I expressed these concerns with my waitress and you could clearly see I only ate the lasagna and the other dishes were practically untouched, yet I was still charged full price. There wasn’t much concern about my experience. Had it been comped in some way and some real concern expressed I might have been interested in coming back to try something else since I can understand off days. Hard pass now. So disappointed. Had high hopes for this place.
