Ava Tampa

Online and in person menus are very different especially in price. They will not honor any online prices. Very disappointing would have gone to a different restaurant. Don’t go here for happy hour based on the online menu.

This is a delicious Italian restaurant with all the classics, including gluten free and vegan options too. The pasta was light and fluffy and you didn't feel disgustingly full after eating it. The pizza was delicious with a slight char from the wood fired oven. The restaurant has a good energy and parking isn't too bad for South Tampa. It is a little pricey, but everything is nowadays.

Atmosphere was decent. Definitely a more college aged crowd (which isn’t horrible). Got the maple old fashion which was really good. Food was decent but lacked in the flavor department.

I eat out often and I must say Ava in SoHo is one of the best restaurants around!!! I love the people! I love the food! I love the atmosphere! You can drink and have a great conversation at the bar, you can dine in and feel fancy with your family and friends, you can even sit outside and have a pleasant night with the wine service and beautiful view of the city street, not many places come close to this amazing restaurant! You may even bump into some legends!

I had the Wood Grilled Twin Filets (4 oz.) for $44. The gnocchi was excellent, but the filets were overdone and tasted as if the surface they had been cooked on was not cleaned first. I was not the only guest at the table that was unsatisfied with the food. The presentation was beautiful, but we were all unsatisfied and will not be returning.
