Italian Favorite Ava Gene’s Will Close for Six Weeks This Spring to Make Way for an Expanded Kitchen and New Sister Restaurant

In addition to a revamped dinner menu, the 6-year-old eatery will begin serving brunch, featuring “morning versions of some of Ava Gene’s most popular dishes,” according to a press release. That includes a Borlotti bean pane, seasonal toasts and a granola cereal chef and owner Joshua McFadden made famous at Roman Candle, Ava Gene’s former next door neighbor.
