The meatballs: These are an excellent meatball and an excellent sauce. These aren't some rolled meat with salt and pepper. These meatballs have an excellent herb accented flavor and taste wonderful. Alfredo Carbonara: Again, a fantastic dish. Very rich flavor with a good dose of prosciutto accent. Tomato Bisque: This isn't some Sysco product they're putting out - this stuff is a real deal, made from scratch bisque. A very balanced flavor with a good depth of texture....not some watery kind of soup. Cannolis: desert will (not) disappoint. The cannoli cream is a nice flavor...with a slight orange zest touch. I've always loved this place. The food may not always come out super fast. But so what, so long as the food comes out right....and I'll sure say....the food comes out great!

Wanted to be excited about this place based on the good reviews however left disappointed…read more Arrived 8pm on Saturday night and was lucky to get a table as it was packed. Service was attentive, we started with a bottle of wine & bruschetta, the wine was good, the bruschetta was soggy and falling apart when picked up. As we were waiting for our entrees we noticed the delays from the kitchen, server bringing pasta to a couple on their anniversary for him and saying the pizza was just on its way out of the oven, it never arrived, the gentleman finished his pasta and still no pizza, she cancelled the order and they left. The table behind us also had no meals, the server said the chef forgot to make them, they finished their drinks and left. The table next to us, 1 of 3 meals served and finished and then 2 lasagnes arrived, both of which were still cold in the middle. They were all annoyed and just took them to go. Finally our meals arrived, I believe we were waiting on the bolognese as it seemed hot and fresh, mine however was not the hottest and has a film on it as it had been sitting a while. I believe the bolognese was not worth almost $40 but the other one was well priced and delicious. Ended with a tiramisu which was dry which was disappointing. So a disordered evening with angry diners did not make for a fun night out.

I've lived in the Springfield area too long to be just now trying Avanzare. This place exceeded my…read moreexpectations. We were able to walk in on a Monday evening at peak dinner hour. Feels like you are walking into a nice hotel. Very clean and inviting. Everyone who served us was friendly and attentive, especially to refilling our waters. I ordered a dish that had homemade noodles, Yaya's pasta, and it was decadent. Probably in my top ten dishes! A creamy vodka sauce with tons of shrimp, salmon, and mushrooms. Loved the bed of zucchini strings on the top. I enjoyed every bite and even had enough for a take home box. Husband really enjoyed his steak dinner. Cooked perfectly and very tender and flavorful. He chose sides of mashed potatoes and seasonal veggies. The homemade breads and pesto butter are perfection.

I got the crab cake special that was swimming in a very spicy sauce and I like spicy. It had a little side salad of greens. I ordered the spinach and green salad with beets, gorgonzola, and candied pecans. Now I love gorgonzola and what I paid for the salad I expected a lot more than a few sprinkles of it. I did ask for extra and was mot charged for it. There are better places to eat in Springfield.

The waitress was attentive and took great care of us. We all loved our food and what was most appreciated was the more simple, off menu options for the pickier teens. Example, you can order spaghetti and marinara or chicken Alfredo. Being a more adventurous eater I chose the special of spinach ravioli. It was decadent and very filling. You can order a half salad with any entree so I got the wedge, chopped. So yummy!
