" Avanti Cafe is definitely enticing with its promises of authentic Italian dishes and a charming environment. I was drawn by the glowing reviews, but I was slightly disappointed. The cannoli were scrumptious, no doubt, but the main course fell flat for my liking. I guess it wasn’t bad, but it didn’t meet my expectations. The service was very acceptable, though, so maybe I'll try again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Went to Avanti Cafe for brunch this weekend, and it was an absolute delight! The coffee was delightful, and the breakfast sandwiches were flavorful and served fresh. It feels good to have such a cozy Italian cafe in town that feels like family. The only downside was the limited brunch menu, as there are fewer options than during regular lunch hours, but everything we tried was fantastic. " (*Curated Review*)

" I frequently visit Avanti Cafe for lunch because their sandwiches are unbeatable! Always consistent with fresh ingredients and delicious flavors. Today I tried their grilled chicken sandwich, and it did not disappoint. Generous portions and the price is just right. I always leave satisfied and keep coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an unpleasant experience at Avanti Cafe recently; we had to wait too long for our food, and when it finally arrived, it was lukewarm. The eggplant parmesan was soggy and seemed overcooked. However, the restaurant's exterior had a charming look, and the staff were polite, but a bit distracted. I might give it another try in the future, hoping for a better experience next time, as I've heard decent things. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have never tasted it! Avanti Cafe’s diavolo sandwich was bomb! Perfectly spicy with fresh ingredients. The staff were super friendly and engaged in conversation while we waited for our food. The atmosphere added to the whole experience, making it a highlight of my day. I will be recommending this to everyone I know. Amazing food and ambiance! " (*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*)
