" Avanti's has been a go-to for my family for quick Italian meals. The gondolas are fantastic, and the salads are freshly made with crisp ingredients. Service can sometimes be a hit or miss depending on the day, but the atmosphere makes up for it. We usually leave happy and satisfied! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time at Avanti's, and I was really expecting a lot due to its popularity. Sadly, my meal was average. I tried the chicken alfredo, which was decent but not what I would call authentic by any means. The service was okay, but I felt rushed through my meal. It wasn't a horrible experience, so maybe I’ll give it another shot someday. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Avanti's Ristorante last Saturday with my family and we were all impressed by the warm atmosphere and friendly service. I ordered the famous gondola sandwich, and it did not disappoint! The flavors were rich, and the bread was perfectly fresh. My kids enjoyed their pasta dishes as well. It was nice to see a restaurant that focuses on quality ingredients and authenticity. Highly recommended for family outings! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been a fan of Avanti's Ristorante for years! Their homemade bread is out of this world. Every meal I've tried has been delicious. The meat sauce, especially the carbonara, has me coming back for more. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for family gatherings or a casual dinner. Service has always been friendly, although busy nights may see a bit of a wait. I'm pretty sure I could eat their bread and pasta every day! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had dinner at Avanti's and was pleasantly surprised. The ambiance was cozy, making it a great spot for a night out. I ordered the baked cod, which was perfectly cooked, and the mixed Italian veggies complemented the dish well. It's wonderful to find a place that prioritizes fresh ingredients. The service was helpful but not intrusive, creating a balanced experience. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone! " (*Curated Review*)

" Nothing beats a cozy dinner at Avanti's Ristorante! I love their tortellini with meat sauce, it’s simply divine. The atmosphere feels like home, and I appreciate the friendly staff who are always eager to help. I have visited many Italian restaurants, but this one stands out because of its consistency in quality. Highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic Italian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have had two different experiences here. One time, the bread was fresh and the meal was delightful. Another time, however, I got bread that felt old and unappetizing. The service was inconsistent; it could be excellent one time and poor the next. The gondola is their special, and I think it’s worth a try — just hope you get fresh bread when you do! " (*Curated Review*)
