"Avena Downtown is a new Italian restaurant in the space of the legendary Da Silvano. It is owned by Chef Roberto Deiaco, who also runs a location of Avena in Midtown East and previously helmed East 12th Osteria. The restaurant serves pastas, appetizers like seared scallops with truffles, and entrees such as grilled lobster and branzino with broccoli rabe. Pastas are priced under $25, while entrees can go up to $44. The restaurant aims to bring back the culture and glamorous clientele that Da Silvano was known for." - Serena Dai
