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!

Who doesn’t like an Avanti’s gondola. When family comes to town it is a must have! And it never disappoints…..

This is a good place to eat, but wasn't what we were expecting.. I thought sit down Italian restaurant.. nope, order at the counter. Seat yourself. Get your own drink. They bring food to your table, but no other interaction w/staff. Had to go back to the counter to get boxes.

Am I the only one that is starting to think the only reason I still come here is because of the memories of when it was a walk up restaurant with a pickup window and the food was really good . I’m really starting to feel the nostalgia isn’t enough to keep my business. The food quality is going down hill about as fast a the proportions . So Anyone know where to get a decent Italian beef sandwich in Bloomington normal because the last the last two I have gotten from here we sub par at best . It’s sad the place I remember and what is has become are so different . the only thing Avanti’s has going for it is friendly staff and a clean dinning room with no concerns about loosing food quality .

I grew up eating avantis so my kids got accustomed to eating it every time we visited my family. I have to take some home to TN now any time I visit. Gondolas, pizza burger and bread are our favorites!

The Gondola is just as good as I remember from my college days at Bradley!
We got meatball sub's. We will Definitely get them again. We also Customized a gondola and it was all ready quickly.

I love Avanti's. I come here everything I am in town. The food is good. I was disappointed this last time though. I ordered a turkey and cheese sandwich no lettuce for my trip home, and when I opened it up it was a turkey and tomato sandwich. Maybe someone else's order, but it wasn't mine.
It made me sad, but I was able to give it away. It did not get wasted.

Brings back so many memories of eating this when I went to ISU. Had to stop and have it again.
