I love the food and atmosphere here. A favorite for lunch/dinner. Very cute, cozy, clean, and the pasta is authentic, delicious, and flavorful. Good portions. My daughter loves their coffee. A true gem in the suburbs.

I don’t want Italian food from anywhere else. Been with this truly family-run establishment on their journey since they opened in 1999! Love garlic? Get the cavatelli with peas. Their marinara sauce is so good, I have to keep myself from ordering a pint and drinking it straight. Want an espresso? Enjoy it on their patio. Stop by for a gelato. Grab some pasta salad. Keep it simple and order a pizza. Just try this place – you’ll be welcomed like family. Oh, and they cater, too. Never cook for an event again.

This place was delicious and very reasonably priced! We ordered 5 things and paid around $30 and had a second meal plus of leftovers! Loved the rice balls and Verona salad. Pizza is a huge slice and very good, sandwich and eggplant roll-ups all were very good!! Everything tasted so delicious and fresh! Can’t wait to go back and try their gelato and pasta!

My all time favorite Italian Cafe Restaurant in the burbs hands down. Best homemade pastas and living in Sicily, their Arancini’s sure hit home. They serve delicious Gelato, Italian beers and fine wines as well! I always get their bow tie pasta with a side of meat all or Bolagnese with a bottle of red wine!

First time trying this restaurant- I will DEFINITELY be back. Prices are very, very reasonable for the quality and portion of authentic Italian dishes they serve. Generous portions, homemade sauces and pasta, and a huge selection of choices. I tried the cheese ravioli with vodka sauce and 2 meatballs- food came out quickly, piping hot, and everyone else with me loved their dishes as well: grilled panini, calzone, baked manicotti “to die for” and the chicken Avanti was “outstanding and fresh”. Service was prompt and friendly- great to find a small family owned business that does everything so well!!!

Avanti catered a party for us last weekend, and the food was a hit! Everything was delicious and plentiful, and our guests definitely left satisfied. This is not the first time that we have had Avanti cater gatherings, and it will not be the last. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and we highly recommend them for anyone looking to cater a party.
