    At first everything about Avanzare seemed perfect. A quiet, intimate Italian restaurant. The staff was super friendly and easy to get along with. The issues began when our steaks arrived: 1- I don't even know how to cook a ribeye so that half of it is medium rare and the other half rare, like mine was. I ordered medium, but since it was my wife's birthday I kept my mouth shut and chewed the gooey mess. Then I see my wife's steak. Half medium, half well done? Seriously? I have fed waffle house steak to my dog, we didn't even bother bringing this one home to him. 2- Once dinner was over, after waiting 20 minutes for a check while my kids were waiting for us to return I directly asked for it. We were told something special was coming to the table. 3- It was a genuinely sweet gesture, they brought tiramisu out for my wife after about 10ish more minutes and wrote happy birthday on the plate. Yes, it was nice and I feel awful for having to leave a bad review, but my wife hates tiramisu and choked some of it down to be polite right before we had to wait ANOTHER 20 F*****G MINUTES FOR THE CHECK! 4- We missed fireworks because we were unable to leave on time after having 50 minutes (at least) of her birthday hijacked by a restaurant with food we weren't even happy with. It was edible, but nowhere near worth what was being charged or missing a yearly activity with our kids we've never missed before. Just go to Vai's in Naperville, the drive time is less than how long your bill will get held hostage here.

    The food is always excellent and we will continue to request Ryan as our server when we dine at Avanzare. It is always a great experience.

    My first time at Avanzarre was a wonderful experience! The food was amazing. We had the squash blossoms and Amish Chicken, Tortellini with seafood. The tiramisu and espresso martinis were also delicious. We will definitely be going back. Top tier Italian food!

    Can't count how many times we have eaten at Avanzare and enjoyed Ricardo and his staff! Always a good, strong pour with seasonal appetizers and nightly specials. My wife and I shared the zucchini flowers with our martinis then ordered the rolled, stuffed veal and chicken dinners. Once again, on-point!!

    Overall, a most wonderful evening that began with interesting cocktails and ended with a lovely PANNA COTTA. Many delicious highlights to include a perfectly executed SALSICCIA E PEPERONI, the super refreshing AVANZARE SALAD with lots of delightful ingredients such as Brussels Sprouts, apples & currants, all lightly bathed in a citrus dressing and the highly recommended star of the meal, the GNOCCHI AVANZARE. Service was excellent. A neighborhood gem that should be on your culinary bucket list!
