Description

This savory Italian eatery began in the Valley in 1974.  With over 35 years of experience this well- established restaurant has the reputation for consistently creating delicious, traditional inspired Italian cuisine.  Avanti's well-earned reputation continues, serving classics like: one of the best, Signature Caesar Salads light yet, a garlic lover's dream with homemade croutons and fresh ground pepper.   Hand crafted Pastas are recognized as Ravioli filled with Spinach and Cheese or Mixed Seafood.  Roasted Eggplant Lasagna is divine for the Vegetarian or Meat lovers will regale after the fist bite of Lasagna Bolognese, Gnocchi in an Alfredo sauce,is said to be so deliciously light "it's heaven sent!" Not only will you find the tried and true pastas but also well crafted dishes like: Ossobuco, Cioppino, Dover Sole Mariniere, Beef Carpaccio and Escargots De Bourgogne!
The seduction of Avanti starts the moment you walk through the door-from the striking black and white gleaming checkered floor to the candlelite and intimate zebra upholstered booths.  Photos of the 'well fed' include local foodies, sports figures to celebrities that have visited over the years.  Part of Avanti’s charm is that it is consistantly good and clings to the traditions of classic white tablecloth dining.  The staff is well-trained and professional as well as friendly and willing to accomodate special request.  The sweet end begins with house made desserts that range from Tiramisu, a Chocolate Mousse that melts in your mouth, Creme Brulee with a caramelized crunchy sweet top, Creme Caramel Flan that is light and custard like.
