Regrettably, the quality of the lasagna and salad was severely lacking. Despite its reputation as a notable Italian establishment, it appears that the establishment lacks the expertise to prepare an exceptional lasagna. Furthermore, the interior decor is devoid of character and requires significant renovation to create an authentic Italian ambiance.

The chicken parm was decent but the Ceasar salad was soggy.

We have been to Avanti a few times; this time, we had the first seating at 4pm before going to show. Avanti is an authentic Italian experience. We ordered Calamari, my husband had Veal Parm, and I had the Funghi di Bosco Pizza ...delicious!! Excellent food and service.

Really good pizza! Allowed us to bring in a cake for a birthday as well and service was
Party of 3 on a busy Sunday night and everything was pretty much perfect! Rebecca was a fabulous and knowledgeable server who got us everything we needed from wine pairing recommendations to substitutions and did it all with a great attitude and personality. Food was absolutely fabulous everyone enjoyed their meals (eggplant parm, gnocci and steak *steak a touch over done but I'm picky and like it basically alive so no points deducted, was still tasty and very well seasoned) we shared the Dolce Agro salad and ricotta cheesecake dessert feature, both were fabulous!Little dated inside but who cares when the food is that good!Highly recommended.

Awful experience! Despite calling a day prior to confirm their walk-in policy, they denied us a table because we had a child. A contradictory situation unfolded as they seated others without reservations and kids, including a couple who arrived after us and another party of 4. Despite our efforts to inquire, the manager, Domenic, offered no explanation, leaving us with the frustrating task of finding another place to dine with our two-year-old in tow on our first visit to the town. we couldn't find an alternative dining spot since every place was fully booked. The entire experience left us disappointed and without a place to enjoy a meal in the town.

Haven’t been in a few years then went end of January for my birthday. Better than I remember! The food was great, looks like it won’t be enough but then you can barely finish it’s so filling! I got an Amaretto sour and it was perfect and I liked that it came in a tall glass! It’s very busy on weekends, can’t get a reservation sometimes but we went on a Tuesday and it was not busy at all! It was kind of nice to have a quiet dinner!
Great place!
