My husband and I absolutely loved the establishment. This was our 1st time visiting Osteria Avanti as well as the Inn at Leola. I booked us a weekend getaway to celebrate my husband's 70th birthday. After we settled into our suite, we decided to grab a few drinks and an appetizer at the bar since our dinner reservations weren't until 7pm. The bartender Eric greeted us right away and welcomed us. Eric was amazing and took excellent care of us. He made the best orange crush according to my husband, LOL. I was also pleased with my marguerita. We give this establishment a Five Star Rating. We look forward to returning in the future.

Osteria Avanti, was awesome. Service was impeccable and food was very good. They treated us with white gloves . The smoked Maple old-fashioned was fantastic, did I say so was the lollipop lamb chops. Great job!!

First time visiting. Service by Leah was exemplary. She was pleasant and clearly showed knowledge of the menu and superior training on being a quality server. My wife and I each of different food allergies and Leah along with the kitchen staff took care of us wonderfully. The food was better than we expected and portion sizes larger than anticipated. For us, this will be a perfect place for special occasions.

We wanted to split a few menu items and the way they brought them out as courses on separate half portion plates made it a fun unique experience! We'll definitely be back!

We love eating at Osteria Avanti! The food is always delicious, the service is excellent, you can actually talk and hear each other which is huge! It is a hidden gem in Lancaster County! Alessandro is the BEST waiter!

We had a very excellent dinner served by waitress Jamara, who also was excellent. Great getaway place.

This restaurant though advertised as a casual dining restaurant, is actually similar to an elite country club. If you show up here and you don’t have a certain look, they make it known very quickly that you aren’t welcome. The food is just ok… and their tables are basic card tables with unpressed table cloths on them. Not impressed for the price.

Their menu was absolutely wonderful. We ordered the sea bass and it was perfectly cooked and the seafood risotto it came with was absolutely creamy and delicious. Their wine collection is pretty good as well and we will highly recommended this place.
Had a North Lancaster chamber event, very elegant decor and atmosphere.

What an unexpected surprise. This quaint little restaurant is located in the beautiful Inn at Leola Village. The service by Eric was impeccable. He was Quick, courteous, and attentive. The food was out of this world. Try the Scallop and Shrimp Skewer appetizer. Not only was it delicious but it was almost a meal by itself. The Sicilian Sword Fish in Aqua Pazza entree was equally delicious, as was the Steak Tips entree . Looking for a little upscale restaurant while visiting Amish country, be sure to give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

What an amazing place! I surprised my husband as t a stay at the Inn at Leola Village. We stayed here for two nights. With that being said, first night we came here for dinner. It was absolutely great!
1st, service, Matt got us in the door and Emily was our server. We got the calamari, shrimp and scallops for appetizers then pork chop and penne with braised beef. Can I say it was incredibly delicious. We love good food and Osteria is by far one of the best places we've eaten at in awhile.
It was so good, our second night my husband wanted to go again! We came back and got the shrimp and scallops, and meatball sliders for appetizers. Again, delicious 😋 entrees was the steak tips and mushroom risotto which was good. The garlic in the risotto was top notch and the steak was perfectly cooked. My braised short rib I thought was okay. It needed something. But overall, absolutely great service, atmosphere and food.
We will be back!!

An excellent meal, eine and dessert. We chose to eat outside, due to our dog (and we're invited inside). A few mosquitos to bother , but really no bother. We'll do this restaurant again, next time in Lancaster area.
