“So we got their spaghetti, a sub, some cheesy garlic bread and I got a pizza bread. All of the food was delicious. Their food wasn't sloppy. The bread was phenomenal. Very soft very sweet and just all together I was highly satisfied with the service and how quickly they had our order ready. And it was easily accessible. Their pickup window was very quick, the girl was very friendly and helpful. I will definitely be going there again.“

“I visit Monicals once during the week for lunch with some of my colleagues from work. The store is well managed and the woman who works lunch taking orders and bringing the food and drinks out to the tables is friendly and has come to know our faces and what we typically order! We always have great service and definitely come back weekly for the atmosphere, speediness and quality!“

“Absolutely love their bread. You can order at kiosk or counter. Variety of sub type sandwiches or pizza bread. My husband ordered the meat lovers pizza bread and devoured it. Decor reminds me of an Italian restaurant in Italy. Clean bathrooms. Door not wheelchair accessible. Could have a better variety of chip choices. Napkin dispenser on tables.“

“Swung by to grab a bite for lunch. Nice little place, has about 7 or so booths to dine in. I ordered the tuna melt, it's was okay. They use a tuna salad with all the trimmings vs just tuna, so it had a little more 'flair' and crunch than I was expecting, but was still good and covered in a heafty amount of cheese. Family also got the pizza bread, that also come covered in cheese and was good. I didn't have it this time, but in the past have gotten their pasta and garlic bread and is really good, I like what they do with their sauce, has a good flavour to it! Will def swing by again when around!“

“I would recommend Michael’s to anyone looking for great Italian food. The food is great and the staff is extremely friendly. The restaurant has a great atmosphere.“

“Avanti's is a Midwest icon and for good reason, it's dependable. Everything is always decent, not gourmet but always good. A plain iceberg lettuce salad is just as described on the menu. Truth in advertising! They're not trying to be anything but themselves. I appreciate that. The lasagna noodles were a little past soft and kind of disintegrated into the sauce. But again, it tasted really good. I ate every bit of it and I'll go again when I'm in town because I can depend on it.“

“I love their pizza! so perfectly made and delivery is always on time if not early! excellent pizza and service!“

“BEST. CUSTOMER. SERVICE. EVER. My son and I came in today before a Dr. appt. As we were boxing up our pizza I biffed and dropped half of it on the floor. Immediately our waitress came over and said she was going to get a fresh one to go because of my accident!!! Amazing customer service. She definitely didn’t need to that because it was my fault!! Thank you so much!!!!!“
