D'Avolio Kitchen — Restaurant in Town of Amherst

First time visiting this place and it certainly won't be my last! The vegan pizza was far better than I was expecting and honestly rivals Blaze Pizza's vegan cheese. I love that they had baked tofu as a topping option as well! If they added some vegan seitan or chorizo they'd really be in business!

What really sold this place for me was the service. Our waitress (I didn't catch her name) was SO sweet and accommodating! I asked for random sides that were essentially components of other dishes but weren't listed as actual sides, and she was more than happy to accommodate! Everything she brought out was delicious and she tended to us several times during our stay to ensure we were happy.

I'm excited to come back and try the balcony dining spot as it looks very relaxing! The only thing I'd change about this place is the parking - which absolutely sucks, but that's just Main St in general. On the bright side, I got in a nice little walk to-and-from my car!

Update: Came here again for my birthday and it was just as wonderful! Still couldn't find anywhere to park but that's just Main street for ya lol. Our waitress was wonderfully attentive and seemed genuinely sweet! I honestly can't wait to come...

We have gone to the location on transit and always had a great experience. This location however is horrible. I understand and expect there restaurants to be busy at 6pm on a Friday. However, I never had these issues at the other location. First, there was no clear place where to “check in” to be seated. I couldn’t even ask a staff member how to get on a waitlist because they refused to acknowledge or look at you. There were so many people in the “back” waiting for I think pick up orders? I don’t know because there’s no signage for anything except for take out orders. There were so many people waiting that we were literally standing over people at their tables eating. If I were there I would be livid at such a horrible dining experience. The layout of this place makes no sense, it’s awkward and unwelcoming and it was complete chaos. Those kids working were busting their butt, the restaurant really needs to recheck how they run this location because the other one is a well oiled machine and this one...

If I could choose more stars I would!!! Our family had the BEST experience at D’Avolio on Main St! From making the reservation, to confirming the reservation, ordering the food, the table being ready ahead of time for us, the food being absolutely delicious, and the service above and beyond, our experience was incredible! Brianna and Sam flawlessly took care of this large group of 16! They were so kind, efficient, and fun with our whole group! I can’t say enough good things about our experience. Thank you D’avolio for making our family dinner to celebrate our daughter’s First Communion so wonderful! 🤍 I would also like to add….they let us bring our own cake (my sister bakes incredible cakes as a hobby for family events). They didn’t charge us to do this, or to cut it, or for plates. Other local establishments should take note. They made us feel like family. We will...
