" I visited Avanti Cafe last weekend after hearing about their acclaimed sandwiches. I decided to try their Italian beef, and it did not disappoint! The bread was fresh and had the perfect chew, and the flavors of the beef were rich and robust. I appreciate how they embrace traditional recipes and techniques to deliver authentic fare. The only downside was that the place was quite busy, and we had to wait a bit longer for our order. However, the food was worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, what a hidden gem! Avanti Cafe feels like stepping into a family-owned Italian restaurant right in Italy. The veal parmigiana was tender and well-seasoned, while the homemade pasta paired perfectly with their rich marinara sauce. Service was attentive yet laid-back, making our dining experience feel personalized. Don't miss out on the gelato – we ended our meal with a scoop of pistachio that was simply divine. This is my new go-to spot for Italian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every meal here feels like being welcomed to someone's home. The atmosphere is relaxed and comforting, and the homemade bread slathered in garlic butter is divine. That being said, the pasta dishes are bigger than I expected, and I am never able to finish them, which is a great delight! I truly adore Avanti’s dedication to high-quality and authentic Italian cooking. " (*Curated Review*)

" I rarely take the time to write reviews, but I felt compelled after my visit to Avanti Cafe. The staff were excellently cordial, and the food was so authentic that it transported me back to my childhood in Naples. I particularly enjoyed their minestrone soup that was hearty and full of fresh vegetables. A delightful family-run cafe that pays homage to traditional methods in its cooking – highly recommend for anyone seeking genuine Italian flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't stress enough how impressive the catering service is at Avanti Cafe! We ordered a variety of dishes for a family event, and everything was delivered hot and on time. The guests were raving about the meatballs and the large sandwiches. I appreciate their attention to detail and the generous portions provided. The pricing was quite fair given the quality and freshness of the ingredients used. I will certainly be using their services again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I attended a baby shower catered by Avanti Cafe, and I must say the food was delightful! The staff served generously portioned mini sandwiches, fresh salads, and desserts that were the highlight. Continuous compliments came from guests on the quality and taste of the food! It’s obvious they know how to do catering right, and I’ll look into hosting my next event here as well! " (*Curated Review*)

" Don't let this cafe's small size fool you! Avanti Cafe serves some of the most authentic Italian food I've tasted, just like my grandma used to make. I particularly loved their gnocchi with a homemade marinara sauce that transported me to my childhood. The service was cordial, and it felt like dining with family. Absolutely returning and trying more of their yumminess! " (*Curated Review*)
