Came here for a birthday celebration and ambiance was great! They had live music and great Christmas themed decorations throughout the restaurant. Food was very tasty and fresh. The fettuccini Diablo with grilled chicken was delicious the chicken was very tender and very flavorful. The garlic bread was also very good with fresh garlic and would order both dishes again. The server recommended the stuffed mushrooms we didn't care for because they lacked flavor and honestly didn't taste like anything. We were recommended the mushrooms because of the flavor but found out it was quite the opposite. We were there to enjoy a nice dinner and drinks but service often felt rushed with ordering apps and main dishes.

Great place for a romantic date and or celebrating a special occasion. The wait staff, especially Ashley, is very attentive and the food is always fresh and prepared beautifully. If given an opportunity to choose your server, choose Ashley

Came here to celebrate my birthday and the food was decent. The bread tasted great. The mushroom appetizer dish was very disappointing and lacked flavor despite looking like it had flavor. Ordered the fettuccine diablo extra spicy and that was delicious! The chicken was very tender and the pasta dish had a nice spicy kick to it. Espresso martini was strong as well. Tiramisu was pretty good.

This is the perfect spot for any occasion! The food is phenomenal. We had great service with Ashley, she was bubbly and personable, and made the overall experience a 10 out of 10. We were celebrating our anniversary, and the whole restaurant was decorated for Christmas, which made for a very delightful, relaxing evening! We will definitely be recommending Avanti to everyone we know, as well as returning for possible special occasions in the future!

Food. Drinks. Location. Service. Live music. This place has to be a new favorite of mine. The pastas. The specials. The ravioli (which changes every week)... Love love love.

What a great find. I had a wonderful dinner at Avanti. The food was excellent, fresh, well seasoned and delicious. My past had steak medallions and they were cooked exactly as I requested. The service was perfect. Our waiter was so friendly and made sure our dinning experience pleasant. The interior is so lovely and it was decorated for Christmas which made everything look magical. I will put Avanti on my list of great dinner places.

Once again, a fabulous dinner at Avanti's. We've had a rough couple of months and decided it was time to create a restart in our lives, so off to Avanti and a show. My wife's Mojito's were the best she's ever had (and I agree!). Started out with the Gnocchi Arribbiata, potato dumplings/shells with a sauce that is an amazing range of flavors. Split an Arugula salad which was, as always, excellent. My wife had Farfalla Carbonara that was only bested by Carbonara we've had in a small cafe in Italy. I had Fettuccine Avanti, a couple of beef tenderloins smothered with a mushroom brandy sauce. The tenderloin was grilled perfectly to almost melt in my mouth and the phenomenal sauce was more than I expected and lasted longer than the pasta, finally enough sauce for me.Finally to the service and atmosphere. Avanti's is a compact space that gives that cozy feeling I love, like a Christmas or Thanksgiving with 25 family and friends jammed into the house and everyone having the best day of the year. Our waiter was this huge man, we think his name was Bruno but we could be wrong. He anticipated and timed everything awesomely. He wrapped up my wife's leftovers and kept them in the back, labeled with our table number so they wouldn't get mixed up with someone else's when he brought them out. All in all, a great restart for us. Too bad the show was not as wonderful as the dinner, a dinner we'll remember for a good while.
