"Avanti's is simply the BEST. The service is outstanding, the food is superb and the atmosphere is wonderful. We never feel rushed to leave. You can have a romantic dinner for two or a hopping group dinner with friends or come in and listen to music and drink wine. The crab claw appetizer is to-die-for, as is all of their fish dishes and chicken limone (which the chef will substitute fish for the chicken updon request). Excellent home made soups. We are very selective on restaurants, but this rises to the top of our list."

"My wife and I were in Dallas for a Mavericks game on St. Patricks day. Happen to be in the area and tried Avanti. We were looking for a quiet casual atmosphere with good food. We could have not been more pleased! And the check was affordable to boot! Highly recommend it!"

"Service from Candy was excellent. The food was very good and beautiful presentation. The wine list was notable. We were there on St. Patrick's day so it was a little loud,probably louder than usual. The live music was very nice, not too loud, but a great background music."

"First time visit; occasion was lunch with a friend I hadn't seen in 30 years. She recommended the restaurant, which had pleasant ambience, good Italian food, attentive service. I would like to visit again, so I could pay more attention to the food (since most of my focus was catching up w/my friend). There was a good choice of wines by the glass and the cappucino at the end was very nice."

"Avanti has been wonderful for a long time, and it is the first place I think of for late-night dining. This meal was during peak hours, and while the food and service were as good as ever, the noise made it difficult to hold casual conversation."
