Summary: A fusion of local NW ingredients with Italian flair.

Ava Gene's offers a unique dining experience where Northwest American ingredients blend seamlessly with Italian culinary traditions. The intimate ambiance is accentuated by soft lighting and an open kitchen. Vegetables shine in dishes like the pan-fried cauliflower, while seafood options like the octopus salad and squid ink pasta with crab showcase the kitchen's creativity. Carnivores can indulge in lamb skewers, and the dessert menu features house-made cannoli. Their extensive wine list, featuring Italian regional gems, and a selection of grappa, provide a perfect end to an exquisite meal.
