Avanti Restaurant offers a warm and inviting dining experience with attentive service, delicious food, and an elegant atmosphere. The restaurant makes fresh pasta on-site and serves generous portions, such as the surf and turf special and the ossobucco, which can easily feed 3-4 people. Guests can enjoy a quiet evening with friends, savoring dishes like the fish special, lasagna, and chicken parmesan. The decor is charming and nostalgic, reminiscent of classic NY or NJ Italian restaurants. The menu includes a restaurant week selection with tasty caprese and Caesar salads. Many visitors praise the high quality of food and the outstanding service provided by knowledgeable servers like Fred, who make dining here a pleasure. Some have noted that service can sometimes be slow, and the chocolate mousse may have an unusual flavor. Overall, Avanti is a highly recommended spot for those seeking authentic, sugar-free food and a delightful dining experience.
