Went in to treat myself. Sat as a single at the bar and was instantly greeted by Rebecca, I started with a Stella on tap while I looked at the menu. Starter was the escargot, while I waited I was served fresh warm bread. Olive oil and balsamic vinegar at my side. Escargot was excellent. For my main I decided on the Veal Scaloppini with spaghettini and olive oil. Pasta and veal was almost perfection! Accompanied by a glass of Chianti I was in the element of the the room which bustled with professional servers and Owners at the ready to serve the very busy group of patrons. I topped off the evening with the chocolate tartuffo and a cappuccino. Special thanks to both Jessica and Rebecca for making my evening not only fulfilling but also graced with a certain level of professionalism and attention. I’ve treated myself a few times, Joel is also very professional, and for a restaurant in downtown Oshawa that has never disappointed I will continue to enjoy such hospitality. I highly recommend if ever in the area, treat yourself to excellent service, food and atmosphere. Thanks Again Adam

The food here was awesome! I loved the Arrabiatta Pizza
The restaurant is spacious and homey.
We got a bread basket after we sat down which was really nice. They had lots of options on the menu and everyone in our party was happy!

The food is good and our server was great. Boy, it sure is loud though. Had to yell for the others at my table to hear me. Try and get a table against the window or wall to be a little removed from the noise, if that bothers you.

The food was amazing! Between the girls and I we had Lasagna 10/10, Shrimp Alfredo 11/10 & Sausage & Penne 7/10 with Brushetta 12/10 as a starter. We were very happy with the food. 2 out of thw 3 of us had never visited before.
Our waitress was great. Easily read the vibe. Was able to joke and laugh with us. Thanks Marie!
I do wish the atmosphere was a little more cozy. Love a booth as opposed to chairs, the tables were super close so you could easily hear convo beside you and sometimes could not hear our own convo due to the volume of our neighbors, also if you are not petite you're shuffling between tables not so gracefully, lastly parking was a bit of an issue and we did not even come at a busy time.
Overall we would DEFINITELY return for the food and for Marie! Thanks again

We were honestly impressed from start to finish. The food came out quickly, the portions were generous, and everything tasted great. Even better, the prices were very reasonable—I was expecting to spend a lot more.
I ordered the chicken parm, which was excellent, and my girlfriend chose the fettuccine Alfredo. She couldn’t stop talking about the sauce and said it was the best Alfredo she’s ever had.
Overall, a great dining experience. We’d absolutely recommend this place and are already looking forward to our next visit.
I went for my birthday and it was wonderful. The waitress was very attentive, the pizzas are amazing! Very positive experience. We didn't feel rushed and we felt taken care of.

We love this place. It has such a family atmosphere that’s probably why they’ve been in business so long. The food is amazing no matter what you order. I can’t pick one favourite. All the servers /bartenders are fast and efficient. I highly recommend Avanti’s. See you there. .

Over priced for pasta plates,$24 for a fettuccine Alfredo,when you can buy pasta for $4 a bag. Not worth the money.

I am not too sure what happened on Sunday November 16, but the service and the attitude of the server(male) was absolutely abysmal and judging by another review here from last night, something was definitely going on there and the staff took it out on their customers, big time.
We were treated like asking a simple question about menu, specific options or allergies was a massive inconvenience, the server was extremely rude and condescending. It's actually mind blowing that a party of 10+ spending over $400+ , asking simple questions are talked down to, dismissed and treated so poorly. We are nobody special, and we definitely do not need any type of special treatment - but basic decency and humanity was nowhere to be seen last night. It took everything in our parties party to not confront the server and inquire about what the issue was so that we could reset and try and enjoy our dinner.
I've never encountered a more disgruntled, angry , sad individual in my life. I wish them all the best and I hope they can get the help that they clearly so desperately need.
Given, the food was 5++++, compliments to the chef, I would find it hard to go back anytime soon, maybe take out is the way to go.
Great food!
