“This was a great restaurant but it closed in late 2007. Please update this listing if the owners decide to re-open in a new location! I will really miss this great neighborhood Italian food!”

• Atmosphere, food, music.
• Not much, given the over yuppiefied restaurants of today.

“Have been going there since I was in high school - 1960's - rude- no - quirky, yes. Have lived away from DC since 1976 - but still travel there on a regular basis & wouldn't miss AV. Dark even in the day - chairs squeak against the marble floors - Remember AV greeting customers - opera playing. Wine in juice glasses from a pitcher. Portions are Hugh & are not "gourmet", but honest and straight forward. The stuffed artichokes, Bucatini Carbonara, Cannelloni - the best. Homemade sausages. Stuff your stroller lady - get a sitter. If they are closing - a huge loss - as we were planning to come in February.”

• Food.
• Service, ambiance.

“I remember the food being quite delicious during previous visits when I was younger. However the most recent time I tried to eat at A.V. (this evening), I was verbally assaulted by the owner because my baby's stroller was in his way. This is not an exaggeration. The entire bar area where we were waiting to be seated became completely silent as the owner screamed at me in his loudest voice, then ordered me out of his restaurant. I was holding my child in my arms at that time. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.”

“I think because the restaurant is closing soon that the people just don't care anymore. The service was awful, the people were rude and the food sub par. Can't wait for it close!”

• The pay-phone INSIDE the restaurant.
• My Father-in-law wasn't so hot on the fish dish he got.

“We lived there for 4 years, and out of the whole of DC, this place was in our top 5! The food is awesome, & the atmosphere made it feel like you'd left the states and traveled to Sicily. Very fun for those in the pre-children stage.”
