   ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Avanti is a true gem, an experience that lingers long after the last bite. From the moment you step inside, you’re welcomed with warmth and hospitality, thanks to Jean, whose charm and attentiveness set the perfect tone for the evening. Then there’s Mark—the mastermind in the kitchen—crafting dishes that are nothing short of spectacular. Every plate is a testament to his skill and passion, with flavors that are bold, balanced, and unforgettable. Whether it’s a classic favorite or a seasonal special, each bite feels like a carefully curated masterpiece. Avanti isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a culinary haven where hospitality and artistry come together in perfect harmony. A must-visit for anyone who appreciates exceptional food and an atmosphere that makes you feel like family!

   Staff were welcoming and friendly, the food amazing - we took dessert home as we were too full. I’m looking forward to eating it tonight!

   Excellent food and service. All 8 of us enjoyed our dinners! A little noisy but it was a Saturday night.

   We were greeted warmly and seated immediately. The wine selection, by the glass, was very good and I noticed that the good bottled wine was affordable. We shared the ahi stack and it was excellent. Both of our entrees were amazing and very attractively plated. Dessert was very good, as well. We will return many times, I am sure. The noise level was quiet and this is always important to us.

   The food was well prepared and served promptly. The waitress was exceptional, pleasant, prompt and helpful, but not intrusive. Overall, a very good option for a local night out.

   We had an excellent meal with top notch service, as usual. I highly recommend the skirt steak and short rib were not to be missed! Spectacular!!!

    This was a truly outstanding meal. Everything we ate was great. Even the bread was better than most places. I started with the Lentil and Sausage soup. It was simply a flavor bomb. The shortribs were better than any I have had anywhere in the country. The Bananas Foster Bread Pudding put a cap on what was a perfect mean. Can't wait to go back!
