The…read morerestaurant is gorgeous, think French Riviera vibes with comfortable seating and those big, family-style tables that actually make sharing feel natural (and not like a sport). We took "sharing is caring" personally and against all odds ordered nearly everything on the menu. Because if you're going to do it, you might as well do it loudly. The food (a love letter, basically) Standouts included the roasted artichokes they were so tender they practically melted in your mouth. Also: the fennel and apple salad was the perfect balance of sweet and sour with a crisp, crunchy texture that kept everything feeling fresh. We fell in love with the ravioli on the first bite. The sauce was tangy with just a hint of cinnamon, and it gave off a vibe that felt a little Greek-inspired in the best, "wait, what is this magic?" kind of way. The Chicken Marsala A classic for a reason: it was so delicious. We ordered a second round for the table, and the chicken was unbelievably tender like it had taken a spa day. But the best bite of the night? No question: the 6oz Rosewood steak. Probably one of the best steaks I've ever eaten. It was so tender it was basically meat butter the kind of steak that makes you stop talking halfway through because words are too slow. Dessert that deserves its own paragraph Dessert was house-made gelato, and the pistachio flavor was among the best I've ever had so good it competes with what you'd expect from gelato made in Italy (with fewer passport checks). Cocktails: creative, dangerous, and delicious The cocktails are genuinely creative and dangerously good. We all ordered the prickly pear ranch water with Aguasol tequila, and it was an absolute winner bright, refreshing, and dangerously easy to keep ordering. Service + hospitality The food and drinks were incredible, but the service was just as impressive attentive without hovering, friendly without being forced, and perfectly on point for a group of seven people who clearly don't believe in restraint. One extra highlight: it was such a nice surprise to see co-owner Jason Garrett in the house, mingling with guests and welcoming everyone like you'd been invited to dinner at his home. That kind of personal hospitality is rare--and memorable in the best way. Final verdict This restaurant is truly perfect in every way, from the ambiance to the flavors to the hospitality. It was a great dinner experience and a genuinely delightful surprise.

The manager greeted us at the door and personally escorted us to our table, which set a professional, welcoming tone for the evening.

Our waiter was very attentive throughout the night, keeping drinks topped off and timing courses perfectly so conversation flowed without interruption. I ordered one of the nightly specials, a Carne Asada steak with chimichurri and fire-grilled vegetables, and the steak was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Everyone at our table loved their food.

The chicken shawarma was solid, but the Campanelle was my standout -- incredibly flavorful and the dish I'd definitely order again.

We decided to come to Avanti based on the photos and the amount of reviews. The ambience was fantastic. My nephew said he felt like he was on vacation. It was fun and lively. The decor was perfect - almost old style Italian. The live entertainment was a guy playing the classic guitar and he was super. The food was not bad at all. So you have to understand that no one cooks as good as I do or my sister; the food coming out of our kitchens is what we grew up with. That's why most of the time we do not go out for Italian food, but with that in mind, for this place, the food was good. So now for my recommendations: bread should come with the meal complementary PERIOD! When the bill came we were shocked to see we were charged for 2 orders of bread. Yes the bread was elevated- a very delicious garlic type of bread with some Parmesan melted on top but that's not what we wanted. We wanted basic bread that you sop up all the sauce with. All the waiter said was "bred for the table?", so we were not expecting the garlic bread. But if you do order it from the starter section, I will say it was fantastic. Also, please carefully read the menu; many items that usually come with your entrée appear to be à la carte, for example we were charged over 80 bucks for six salads. Apparently they did not come with the entrée, however, when the waiter came around to take our orders, we gave the entrée name and then he asked "super or salad?". That would lead one to believe that that came with the meal, but apparently it did not. Also, when we ordered the calamari appetizer, he brought two orders. We found this out when the bill came. For a party of six, we had four cocktails, one iced tea and one water, six entrées plus the bread we had to pay for and six salads. We did NOT order coffee, after dinner drinks, extra wine or dessert. The bill was over $500. The waiter had added a 22% tip. Yes I understand for large parties tip gets automatically added, on but he was not worth 22% and now I am gonna get into that. My brother-in-law was the designated driver. He was not drinking. He had his whole family in his vehicle so no, he did not want to get into an accident. He ordered an iced tea half sweet the waiter gave him a difficult time mostly because he didn't order a cocktail and it became embarrassing. So overall ambience five stars; Food three and a half stars ; Service three stars-I don't like having to pay 22% gratuity for a smart mouth.

I see that my original review is nine years old so it is time for an update…read more The first time we went, the food was a "wow." We loved it and I gave it 5 stars and so looked forward to returning. This time, however, the experience was a bit of a disappointment. My ratings for this experience in July 2026: Service: 5/5 Ambience: 4/5 Food: 3/5, which is generous. I could easily go 2 stars. Let me start with the positives. Our server, Madeline, was excellent. She was personable and efficient. She missed on her recommendation but I think that was more the kitchen than her. She was there when we needed her without being overbearing. She labeled our take home boxes so we knew what was inside. Nice touch. The ambience is upscale without being pretentious. There was one a group across the restaurant that was so loud that my wife and I had some difficulty conversing, but I understand that is not something the restaurant can control. The restaurant was nearly full on a Friday when we entered about 7pm and when we left there was a long line of people waiting for a table, so I guess the restaurant is doing something right. What the restaurant can control is the food, and it was not up to par. We started with a chopped romaine salad, which is basically a Caesar. It had too many spoiled (wilted or brown) pieces of lettuce and was way overdressed. Quality control needs to improve. The kid wanted pasta as usual but their offering was with pesto and that was a no-go so Madeline had the kitchen do an off menu pasta with red sauce. I appreciate the gesture. The sauce was not acidic but the pasta was al dente and the kid was not used to that, so she did not really like it. Not the restaurant's fault on that one. The wife had the daily special, short rib stroganoff, and said it had no flavor. I did not try it but I assume the meat was not seasoned. I had the chicken parm with spaghetti from the "classics" portion of the menu. I was not impressed. I expected the spaghetti to be on the side but it was on top. The chicken had a strong burned flavor so I wondered if the spaghetti was on top to cover the burn? My pasta was al dente which was fine with me but overall the dish lacked flavor except for a burnt taste. I would not order it again. Overall, all our dishes missed the mark in one way or another. No one enjoyed their food. Maybe we ordered incorrectly, although you would think that ordering the daily special and a "classic" would be safe. Maybe the kitchen had an off night when it was so busy. The demand for a table was at variance with the quality of the food, which was average at best. At least the drinks were good.

The matcha sauce made the fluffy pancakes 10x more delicious. I love me a good egg entree and the Eggs Florentine did not disappoint.

The inner dining hall seems to be reserved for dinner so everyone was sat outside. There were plenty of fans so it was temperate. The coffees and drinks were a miss but the star of the show was the matcha soufflé pancakes. The pancakes were extremely fluffy and paired extremely well with the sabayon. Honestly, the sabayon was so good, it almost felt like we could drink it. Everything else we ordered, was good, but nothing phenomenal. Had they been, this would undoubtedly get a 4, maybe even a 5. It's currently a 3.5 in my books.
