We were in the mode for Italian and asked Google for some help, Avanzare was one of the options. It was a 30-minute drive for everyone. The price point was on the high side for us but not out-of-reach. We arrived and was immediately sat in the bar; in fact, everyone is sat in the bar. The dining room has about twenty tables, and they were two tables being used; the bar also had about twenty tables and every table was sat. I asked the waiter and they do sit the bar area first and overflow into the dining room. With the bar area at near capacity and all hard surfaces it was loud, very loud. The dining room had carpet floor and a coffered beamed ceiling it was tremendously quieter. If you want the energy of a crowded restaurant the bar is great, the dinning room would be a more upscale experience.
We started with Calamari Friiti, that is the title of the dish. In smaller print the description is Crispy Fried Calamari, Zucchini, and herbs. What was served was 70% NOT Calamari, but thin fried zucchini strips, fried rosemary (literally the twig of rosemary in batter and fried), and fried thyme (the thyme was removed from the twig so I could not even find it.), but the waiter said it was there. At $19 we expected more Calamari at least 60%, after all the dish was not called “fried herbs and Calamari”. Our table had Spaghetti and Meatballs at $24, the Stuffed Pork Chop special (with Broccoli Rabe) at $27, and I had the Eggplant Parmigiana at $20. I get eggplant Parmesan a lot, it is my favorite Italian dish. $20 is high for eggplant Parmesan, I prefer my eggplant thinly sliced and fried. This is more three eggplant steaks with cheese and red gravy. Not my personal favorite but good. The pasta was so unusual I had to ask about it; the waiter said it is made from scratch in house but the shape in an Italian grocery store would be casarecce. I thought $24 for Spaghetti and Meatballs high but my husband said the Meatballs were excellent. Finally, $27 for one Stuffed Pork Chop also seemed high but it tasted great, the garlic white wine sauce made a tasty glaze. We ordered Tiramisu for the table and one person got the blueberry sorbet. I found the Tiramisu traditional and another person thought the mascarpone cheese was whipped too much. I read a several reviews, most of the reviewers praised the service as outstanding; we found our server disappearing for 30 – 40 minutes; we had to call someone over to order desert and another to get the check.

The servers were really nice over here – attentive and polite.
I thought the atmosphere was pretty quiet for a Sunday, and the food was good, but also average.
The value was incredible – the 6 year anniversary menu was a lot of food for a very reasonable price.
The beet salad was decent – the arugula was a little wilted and the beets could have been juicier, but I liked that there was plenty of goat cheese.
The chicken was flavorful and there was plenty of veggies and potatoes. I liked the sausage more than the chicken. I didn’t care as much for the dish itself, and after ordering mussels with tomato sauce, I was a little tired of the tomato sauce. I think the pork chop (or a steak, or another pasta dish) would have been better to have for the 6 year anniversary menu.
I really enjoyed the creme brulee though, there wasn’t a lot of custard but it came together well.

This was our first time visiting and we heard and read good things. We were seated right away; however, it took 30min to get water in our glasses. I talked to the wait staff after 10min, but we still had to wait another 20min. We only had 1 glass at our table, and it was dirty. One of the overhead lights was flashing, which was causing me a headache.
Food-wise, our appetizer was fine. My short rib was good. My wife’s carbonara was not good at all. She was very hungry and could not finish more than half of it; she was getting sick. It tasted bland and had a strange, slimy texture to me.
Overall, there was nothing redeemable about Avanzare. There’s no reason I can think to visit this restaurant again. All I was thinking about the whole time is how I’d much rather be at Fire + Win in Glen Ellyn. The food is better, the service is better, the ambiance is better, AND the prices are cheaper!

A couple of weeks ago my best friend and I had dinner at Avanzare in Lombard, and it was such a delightful experience! The food was incredibly delicious and truly tasted like authentic Italian cuisine. Every dish we ordered was packed with flavor and made with fresh ingredients.
What really stood out to me was how affordable everything was. It’s not often you find such high-quality food at such reasonable prices. It made the whole experience even better, knowing we were getting great value for our money.
The staff at Avanzare were wonderful. They were so friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed and answering all our questions about the menu. It felt like they genuinely cared about making our meal special.
If you’re looking for a place with amazing Italian food, great prices, and excellent service, I highly recommend Avanzare in Lombard. It was a fantastic dining experience from start to finish!

Carbonara was amazing as was the chicken parm. Service was outstanding on a very busy night. Thank you Jorge! Tiny bit noisy and a bit of wait staff traffic but the food and service were excellent. Thank you for an amazing evening!

We were seated immediately as we entered at 6:45 and ordered 10 minutes after. However, 2 appetizers (salad and fried zucchini) took 30 minutes. Then they forgot about us and only got our entrees an hour later.
Due to the mistake they took off an appetizer (3 pieces of cheese zucchini for $13). The tortelli was underwhelming, wrapped with as little cheese and meat as possible, and forgot the clams.
I think it would have been an enjoyable experience had our order not taken so long.

Absolutely fantastic! Four of us had lunch here yesterday and I cannot say enough about this wonderful gem of a restaurant! To begin, the service was impeccable. Our server was gracious, knowledgeable, accommodating, and I could go on and on. We shared a Margherita pizza to start and it was only a taste of the deliciousness to come. The Salmon Oreganato was so good, as well as the pasta dishes that all of my companions ordered. We were quite full but managed to enjoy Biscotti for dessert. This was our first time here but by no means the last time….already looking forward to another meal at Avanzare.
