Food and service were good for the most part. However, after we ordered dessert, things went sideways and we waited over 30 minutes. We dined here before and didn't have any issues.

Enjoyed Mother's day Lunch at Avanzare. The service was excellent, very informative and attentive with multiple staff assisting with our party. Food was excellent, all 7 of us very much enjoyed their meal. Chicken saltambacca, seafood di mare, stuffed shells and whitefish were great. The dining room is a little plain looking, but service and food were great.

Save your money. Food is good, but service could not be worse. Slow, inattentive and too loud for the staff to hear, even if they took the time to listen.

We had a reservation for 6 people for 4:30. We were given a table set up for 5. We were able to get a chair from another table and the server handed me a table setting. We waited about a half a hour to get water. About 15 minutes later we were given bread. At this time the restaurant wasn’t busy but it filled up quickly and there were people waiting to be seated in the lobby. The service was slow. We had 3 birthdays to celebrate. The waiter was taking dessert orders and I had asked if they do a birthday dessert because we were celebrating 3 birthdays. The waiter walked away without taking the remaining dessert orders. He came back 10 minutes later with 3 birthday desserts and 2 desserts that we had ordered. The birthday desserts are any of the items on the dessert menu and it seemed that you just got whatever the chef decided to put on a plate. The 2 desserts that were ordered were for 2 of the people celebrating their birthdays. So now they have the dessert they wanted plus a birthday dessert that they didn’t want. What are they going to do with 2 desserts? Why wouldn’t he make the dessert they ordered their birthday dessert?

Food was excellent, the avanzare salad, as well as the calamari, and the fruti del mare, Took a while for waiter to return to take our drink order and although we mentioned in the online reservation and in person, that we were celebrating our anniversaries, nothing was offered to us. Other than that it was a delicious dinner with very good service.

We went on a Thursday night and the restaurant wasn't crowded. It was dimly lit with no real ambiance to speak of. Our party of four was seated at a table near the kitchen exit. The servers rotated tables, all helping each other. They were friendly and attentive, some more so than others. We were served foccacia bread and Italian bread, both warm. The foccacia had an odd texture and none of us cared for the oil at the table. We ordered Carpaccio and a Bianca pizza as appetizers. Both were great. Our entrees were Bucatini Carbonara, Cavatelli Vodka, Gnocchi Avanzare and Papardelle Con Sugo Di Maiale. The Gnocchi and Papardelle were enjoyed the most. The Papardelle had a sweet sauce which is a different take on pork ragu. The Cavatelli had a good flavor but it was very skimpy on asparagus and prosciutto. I can honestly say there was maybe a third of a stalk of asparagus at most in the dish and maybe a 2x2 piece of proscuitto. The Carbonara was swimming in butter which made it almost inedible. This was very disappointing as it was served traditional style with an egg yolk. The lack of ambiance; one entree with very few ingredients and the greasy Carbonara contributed to my 3 star rating.
