Good Food, Nice Ambiance When the establishment is busy, do not expect prompt attention.
Don't let them seat you next to the windows if you are bothered by a cold draft. Avoid the back of the restaurant near the restrooms for obvious reasons. [11 Feb 2000 01:47:53]

Extremely poor / rude service Our small party agreed that we had never had such poor service in a restaurant before -- from the impatient and rude "hostess" to the neglectful and rude waitress. Dreadful. [08 Sep 2006 00:43:18]

Don't Pass Up Due to These Reviews! One of the best restaurants in Santa Cruz. Farmer's Market fresh ingredients with the comfort of great authentic Italian dishes. Come here if you know good food! This restaurant is very crowded on weekends so come during lunch or weeknights. I've never had a bad waitperson. The cheese dish is always good. Local artesan cheeses pair with wonderful wines. Don't miss it! [27 Feb 2007 12:58:44]

Best in Santa Cruz County I usually go to Avanti for lunch. This is a hidden jewel. The food, atmosphere, and staff are all five-star, for a three-star price! I can't say enough about the quality (all organic, when possible) and flavor of the dishes served. They are perfectly seasoned with a gourmet flair, without the pretentiousness found at many other five-star restaurants. By far the best in Santa Cruz County, and as good any you'll find anywhere else. [26 Jan 2008 22:21:07]
