    I am somewhat of a regular at Avanti and it NEVER disappoints. the food is always perfect and so consistent...there is nothing like pasta that is steaming hot when it arrives at your table. We request many Dallas restaurants and the caesar salad is the best! And the team is most professional and provides the experience you are looking for whether its dine fairly quick to catch a show or a slow play to visit with old friends. I cannot say enough about the staff, Fritz was our server and he is well know service professional in the city- we are always privileged to have the opportunity to go on nights he is working. 5 stars!

    This small restaurant outperforms every time. The first time I went here was in 1982. And now just last night it has not lost its sparkle as a special place. The service is absolutely excellent and they almost seem to read your mind. The food is wonderful and very reasonably priced. We love it!

    The mushrooms on the appetizers were undercooked. The halibut dish was inedible. The linguini was a very small portion with the clams. The server was terrible.
