    We had not been to Avanti in over a year. It was everything we knew it could be. Great food and service, nice music allowing us to talk and hear each other and the evening was beautiful to top it all off. Thank you CJ! (I hope I got the right initials!)

    We had an outstanding dining experience . Cocktails, starters and the main courses were exceptional. Kareem was amazing with my three year old and knew the way to her heart, garlic bread and spaghetti! I had the crusted snapper special which was perfection and the lasagna was deliciously homemade. We will be back soon.

    We’ve been coming here every year to celebrate the anniversary of our first date in 2017. They remember us and make the experience so special. Looking forward to continuing our tradition as our family grows.

    Simply said, Avanti has the best combination of location, ambience, food quality, bar / wine selection, and the best PROFESSIONAL Staff ( across the board ), that all come together for a perfect evening. A special call out to Martin for making our evening so enjoyable tonight.
