Had the weekly chef special Monday night, lobster, shrimp and muscles over pasta and at the waiter’s suggestion changed it up a bit with spicy marinara sauce for my taste and it was amazing. Half price bottles of wine on Sunday and Monday make it all the better.

Our group had a great time at Avanti! Service was very respectful and fast. All of our dishes were delicious. They even offered us a round of espresso martinis on the house dinner!! We will definitely be coming back again very soon.
