Absolutely incredible evening tonight here at Avanti! Dinner was phenomenal, the wine selection was incredible, and the atmosphere is perfect. HUGE credit to Peyton who took care of us tonight. She made sure everything was perfect and it was. This restaurant is an absolute must if you want quality Italian food in Dallas. I suggest the calamari and chicken Parm. I can not wait to come back! 10/10

I have been wanting to go to this restaurant for a long while and I’m only sad that I didn’t go sooner. Came here with my husband and friends and it was a superb experience. From the moment we walked and we got a whiff of delicious smells and were welcomed with a festive and bustling environment. We got drinks at the bar and the bartender was very friendly and got our drinks very quickly. We didn’t wait long for our table either and the waitress was nice and cheerful and there was a live musician, seems that this is the case every night. The food was absolutely delicious. All of it. We got the garlic loaf that came with the unique tomato sauce and we also got the meatballs for appetizer, superb. For entrées our group ordered the carbonara, fettuccine Diablo, chicken, Limon, and chicken Parm. All very tasty. Will absolutely come back to this restaurant in the future.

The dining environment is excellent, and there is a guitarist playing and singing. The service attitude is also very good. As for the appetizers, wine is served first, followed by the appetizers, and then each course is served one after another. Every dish has a very unique taste.

I had such a great experience! Had a late dinner, super great way to end the night. The service, cocktails, appetizers and entrees were all amazing. Good sized portions too, I got the chicken parm, ceasar salad, garlic bread & ravioli for appetizers. Had a phenomenal Martini while we waited for our table and had some chardonnay with the dinner. Wish I took pictures, I’ll definitely be going back. The fact that its in Uptown is also a huge plus.. walking distance to other little bars around if you want to extend your night. Nice cozy atmosphere as well.. seems like a place you could do date night, take your family or even do a solo dinner at the bar.

Celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary with our kids and their spouses a week before Christmas at Avanti. Best choice!
CJ, the manager, was so accommodating.
The food and service were excellent! And the ambiance was absolutely perfect!
Going back next year for our 51st!

We’ve been loyal customers of Avanti for well over a decade, celebrating countless special occasions and anniversaries here. The food has always been exceptional, and the ambiance consistently warm and relaxing, which is why this evening’s experience was so disappointing.

While the past couple of visits felt a bit “off” in terms of service, tonight was the worst we’ve experienced. We waited 20–25 minutes (each time) before even seeing our server, who repeatedly left to sit and socialize with a group of male customers on the patio rather than checking on us. Our salads arrived after 44 minutes, and our entrées after more than an hour.

When we finally asked for our check and requested our food to go, she kindly packed it, but then disappeared again to the patio. I had to get up and go to the bar myself to request the check. Only then did someone in a polo shirt approach her to let her know we were still waiting, well past closing time.

This was truly disappointing after so many years of memorable experiences here and several positive google reviews.

Amin M., we genuinely miss seeing you and the level of care and attentiveness you’ve always maintained. It’s noticeable that the subpar experiences we’ve had recently were during times when you weren’t here. We hope to see you again the next time we return.

Absolutely love this place!! We recently celebrated my brother’s birthday and anniversary dinner here, and it was nothing short of amazing. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing, with just the right touch of old-school Italian charm that makes it feel special without being over the top. It’s an intimate setting that creates a truly enjoyable and unique dining experience.

I’ve dined here several times, and it continues to impress. Their house-made Caesar salad stands out where others fall short—authentic and full of flavor. The handmade pasta is a highlight, taking everything up a notch, and their thoughtful selection of Italian wines is the perfect complement if you’re looking to enjoy the full experience.

This place has been a favorite of mine for a while now. The service is consistently outstanding, and the quality of the ingredients and preparation is always on point, especially given the reasonable pricing. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just want a great meal, it’s a fantastic choice.

First timers. Wife’s birthday. Could not have picked a better Italian restaurant for celebrating this special occasion. From the moment we entered the establishment, we were greeted very nicely. Nice ambience, with live music. Wife enjoyed her chicken Parmesan, while I had their Thursday special, veal. Our waitress (Salem) was super attentive throughout the evening, explained the meal items while making recommendations. Just a fabulous dining experience.

Quiet, relaxing w just enough old school Italiano vibe in a not too large setting to create an enjoyably unique experience. I’ve enjoyed dinner here several times and appreciate their house made Caesar where others are not authentic, and I love that they have a handmade pasta offering to really dial it up a notch. They also have an interesting choice of vinos from Italy to round off ur meal in good order if ur interested in going all in. They have been a favorite of mine for for awhile now as the service has been superb and the quality of ingredients and prep has been consistently spot on w their price points. Plan to Uber or valet in the evenings. Enjoy in style.
