Avanti has a nice atmosphere and friendly service, but the real reason to go here is their gourmet pizza.

Their gourmet pizzas only come in small and medium sizes, but they're very good. Highly recommended are the roasted garlic pizza ($7.95 small, $12.95 medium) and the 'from the garden' pizza ($7.95 small, $12.95 medium).

Avanti's garlic rolls are also excellent - soft, warm knots of bread with a delicious garlic sauce.    [11 Nov 1999 18:50:11]

I recently ate at Avanti Cafe and was very disappointed. I had the chicken Caesar salad. Not only was it awful, but it gave me a stomach ache. How difficult could it be to make a good Caesar salad? The service was also bad. You can bet I won't be eating there again.    [04 Jan 2001 16:47:50]

Amazing Italian food (namely pizza)
Great food. The pizza was perfectly cooked and the waitress was really hot. She was really nice too. Anyway, great pizza. Recommended highly.    [01 Feb 2004 16:02:22]
