The hand made pasta was melt in your mouth delicious. Our server was incredibly helpful with recommendations and specials. He answered all of our questions and was great. I would highly recommend the gnocchi and the mushroom risotto. My husband had the tortellini portofino and ate every bite. We finished it off with the lightest, fluffiest tiramisu I’ve ever eaten.

It was the best of Lasagna, it was the worst of Pasta Carbonara.
Our waiter, Luis, complimented my girlfriend’s choice of the lasagna saying “you’re gonna love it.” As for my linguini carbonara, no such compliment is as offered. I knew then and there that I messed up.
After a lovely bit of bread and a tasty Caesar salad, the dish that was placed in front of me was the saddest (and greenest?) pasta carbonara I’d ever seen. And it tasted worse than it looked. The owner even came by and complimented my girlfriend’s choice on her lasagna, and said nothing of mine. I think the whole house knows that the carbonara recipe is 1) not at all authentic and 2) downright disgusting.
Don’t get me wrong, the house made pasta itself is very nice, light, and fresh. My girlfriend’s lasagna was, indeed, quite spectacular. But the embarrassing linguine carbonara at Avanti, with its onions and peas, uncooked guanciale, and severe lack of pecorino, is an insult to Italian cuisine. Better 86 that one, boys, or go back to the drawing board.
Aside from that, the service was extremely prompt and professional, and the decor, while dated, made for a refreshing and enjoyable experience. Nothing here made me say “we have to come back,” unfortunately. But it’s a classic establishment and it’s worth a try. Just please don’t order the carbonara.

Such a special place!!! A time capsule feeling capturing old school Italian hipness with always top tier cuisine. We always sit in the bar area because it is stunningly beautiful and so unique. And the service is extraordinaire! If you’ve never been, do yourself a favor and get to Avanti’s!

Food was actually amazing and tasted like real Italian. The bread wasn’t what I expected. Figured it would of had oil and real cheese with it but everything else was amazing

We had a party of 6 and enjoyed a fabulous evening. Sergio our water and Angelo the owner treated us like royalty. The food could not have been better. Charles the piano player was the perfect fit.
Avanti is a special place.

Disappointed at Valentine’s day for service and we noticed others were too. The waiter who served us never introduced himself. We asked for everything from bread to service. We weren’t checked on either. Others behind us and near us were doing the same thing. It was our first time there too. The room was stuffy like sardines. Our table didn’t have a candle lit while others were. The lighting was not dim like the other room. The food was very good.

The food was good as always but the service was terrible. I hate to give this somewhat negative review because this place once set a table for my group when they were full. The service has gone downhill at least on this occasion. The pasta e fagioli soup was awesome. Obviously homemade with fresh ingredients, bursting with flavor, but not too salty. The Italian Antipasto was great. Assortment of the good stuff in a fairly large portion. The veal piccata was above average but definitely not the best around. The service was bad. It was an excessively long meal where the waitress barely waited on our party of 10. Drink service was slow and the drinks were generally not good.

Luis greeted us as we came in & was our lead waiter. From start to finish we had excellent service. We all really enjoyed our food from osobuco, combo pasta, shrimp and scallop fra diavolo pasta, lamb chops, etc. We had excellent escargot & Caesar salads. We had several different house made desserts that were really good & a few surprises thrown in.
It was an excellent celebration destination for a birthday!

A classic Phoenix restaurant that has never forgotten the Phoenix we all grew up in and loved. Amazing, authentic food (homemade pasta, homemade Caeser dressing, etc), wonderful service and a second-to-none ambiance, Avanti reflects the class and beauty of Phoenix at its finest. Unmatched by any other options in town.
