Avanti's Italian Restaurant Reviews
I went to ISU in the 1970's, and Avanti's was always a favorite part of our years on campus. Fifty+ years later, it's always a treat to visit this restaurant and consume their delicious food. Walking into Avanti's is like going back in time to my college days with my friends! Love this place!
Love this place best Italian food in town
Very disappointed in food and the lack of service. Had to order at the counter get your own drinks and my food was cold not once but twice! All I got was attitude from the lady that was bringing the cold food out !!
Very disappointed won’t be back !!

Avanti's Italian Restaurant is a popular spot in the area, known for its consistently good Italian-American cuisine at a good value. The food is satisfying, with highlights like the Fettuccine Alfredo and the restaurant's sweet-flavored bread. Customers now order at the counter and seat themselves, which adds to the efficiency of the experience. Food is often hot, fresh, and delicious, and the establishment is kept clean. Service is friendly, but some customers note that interaction with staff can be limited, as they may not check in often. Although the restaurant can feel a bit self-service, it remains a welcoming place for all diners. It is also noted for its wheelchair accessibility, making it accessible for everyone. Some recent comments mention that prices for appetizers, like cheese curds, are a bit high, but the large pizza remains affordable. The Gondola sandwich is highly recommended, and many visitors enjoy the spaghetti sauce and fried ravioli. The restaurant is often missed during lunch hours, as it is not open then, but it continues to be a favorite for takeout and family meals.
