Opened in June 2010, AVA Cucina is a family affair to the core. Husband and wife team Vincent and Annette Agostino both come from restaurant backgrounds. Vincent, maestro in the kitchen, learned the restaurant business from his parents who owned and operated their own restaurant for over a decade. Annette, too, has restaurant history having waitressed and managed for years. The food at AVA Cucina nicely blends their two views, and the result is a delightfully varied menu of classic Italian favorites and pizza alike. The family business tradition continues with the couple's 5 grown children who all contribute to the restaurant. Both Vincent and Annette have realized their dream of owning and operating an Italian restaurant and are thrilled to be pursuing their vision with AVA Cucina.
