Great conversation. Dropped in on Father's Day.... Was able to sit at the bar. The owner Tatiana took excellent care of me..... Visiting in between making drinks and coordinating the restaurant. Soup of the day was Tomato.... Made from farm to table.... Delicious. Potato Gnocchi was almost...
We had a wonderful experience at Avanti. The service was friendly, efficient and fun. The dishes were some of the best Italian food I've ever had. That being said, I grew up in NYC in an Italian neighborhood....
First time eating @ Avanti after being here for 14+ years
Top notch all around food and service
Got the papperdelle with pork meatballs, gigli pasta & a seafood puttanesca. All of which were outstanding. Perfectly seasoned, and perfect texture on the pasta. Also had the Kale Salad, which was simple, but seasoned to perfection, loved the texture of the breadcrumbs & almonds. Highly recommend to anybody and definitely will be back!
