This family-run Italian restaurant has been a date night destination since 1982. Owner Erica Paez Hight is the daughter of Aventino’s original owners Olga and Al Paez. Her husband Eric Hight is now the chef. Pasta dishes like Tortellini Aventino’s and Ravioli Carciofi, along with chicken and veal dishes, make this Ridglea neighborhood favorite a standout. Aventino’s is a sentimental favorite for sure, and they recently added a full bar to the mix.
