About Us

Biscottis has been a neighborhood restaurant for 25 years. In 1993, Barbara and Karin brought a gourmet restaurant to the Avondale – Riverside community. Serving artisan bread, fancy coffee drinks, and decadent dessert. Today, Biscottis is still a bustling restaurant that sources locally and actively helps build the neighborhood’s charm. Tucked away in a historical Klutho building, Biscottis has grown to 100 seats and is open 7 days a week. Dinner specials are served at 5 p.m. and happy hour is from 3-6:30 p.m. daily.
