Avantis used to be a great local place to eat decent, affordable Italian food. They were especially well know for their bread. Best fresh bread in the region. Over time, the quality of food and service has gone down. I’m guessing the impact of COVID and the rising costs of goods has made an impact. Staff are friendly and the food is still okay (but the bread is NOT the same and NOT as good).

The tortellini and the fettuccine alfredo are still two of my favorite there. Can’t go wrong with either. But most dishes there arm you be hit or miss on wish on quality.

I ordered takeout from Avantis in Pekin for the first time (actually my first time EVER having Avantis at all). I was pretty disappointed with the serving sizes of the items. I ordered a large cheese ravioli and got approximately 7 or 8 raviolis. The only reason I think this is unfair, is because as a meal I paid $17 for this. Some other items I ordered the servings were decent. But, for spending over $100, it just seemed like it wasn’t a whole lot. Another thing I was disappointed in was the flavor. I know a lot of people love Avantis, but for me it was just bland and not great (I felt this way about multiple items I tried). So, with the price, serving sizes, and taste I do not believe this is somewhere I’d eat at again.

Edit: My sister counted her large raviolis- it was 6. 6 raviolis with a side of pasta salad and a drink for $17?! I can’t imagine what the normal serving size for this is!

Just left dine in at the pekin location tried several entree’s the lasagna, spaghetti, Alfredo, pizza, pasta primavera, and fried chicken. What to say….. For starters it should be a hate crime for them to put Italian anywhere in their name. Nothing had any seasoning on it was the most bland underwhelming food I’ve possibly ever had. All the sauces could easily be out done by a jar off of any store shelf. A frozen stouffers lasagna cooked in the microwave would have beaten that. It was my first and only time putting myself through that. Side note the waitress’s and other staff we interacted with were wonderful super nice and very quick and attentive they deserve to be serving better food.

Awesome food. Two servers handled the full floor(That’s unheard of. A normal, 35 table floor, is spread amongst 5 servers, at best) It was amazing how these two servers handled everything and made everybody’s night, wonderful. I had a great experience.

Ordered the lasagna as I normally do at the Peoria Location. Tasted different but chucked it up to being at a different location well I should have definitely switched what I had right there because 4 hours later I’ve had a stomach ache since leaving and now throwing up, now by no means do I have a weak stomach I have a countless amount of people who joke I have a stomach of steel cause I can eat some pretty crazy things but some how this restaurant visit has sent me into a horrible game of am I going to make it in time…. Wish I could say I ate something or somewhere else in the day but that is all I had eaten the whole day and probably all I will eat for the next few days… please do better.

Women’s restroom was filthy, dried urine on 2 of the 3 toilets. All 4 chairs out our table were so wobbly we were afraid to move from fear we would end up on floor. Server was friendly enough but never offered refill on drinks, had to ask for them. Food was good, but the brea they give with meal has changes and wasn’t as good as it used to be.

Ordered online for delivery at pekin location. We usually get the gondolas and it’s a fine experience, but this was bad. The delivery was on time, but the food was pretty terrible to be honest. The Chicken Parmesan wasn’t even like just a chicken patty on pasta, was more like a frozen chicken meal heated up type of chicken texture.

Side salads are VERY small! Amanda was a great waitress and explained that they weigh the salad. Need to up the ounces!

First time I have to complain about Avantis. I’ve been going for years and have loved the garden salad and especially the bread. Was surprised when the waitress kind of threw the basket of bread on the table..that is 4 slices. Later when I asked for more I was informed it would “cost me”….never had that happened before then. She said that changed last August can’t prove it but I’m sure I had been there after then. Way to cut prices and customers

Sat in line at drive thru for 10 minutes after ordering a head. Got home and food was cold and salad not fresh at all. I think the management needs to take a closer look at these problems. After waiting 10 minutes in drive thru you can at least make sure the food is hot.
