Its a classic Peoria staple. You can not beat the gondola, but the lasagna is my favorite. Especially if you dip it in their homemade ranch dressing! yum yum yum

Avanti's is always a great pace to go! It is quick and delicious! I do not eat Gluten.. and I really appreciate the GF bread. It is a great place to go whether you are in a rush... or even if you want to take time and socialize with friends! It is affordable as well!!

Amazing as usual. Great bread, but make sure to ask for double meat or you may be disappointed. My go to is toasted ham and cheese or the Gondola

Food was good. I had the Lasagna. Service was very good. The waitress checked on us several times about water and how the food was.

First time here and was in the area for work. Didn't know what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. I got all you can pasta on a Monday and it pretty good. No complaints. The salad also was simple but good.... Basically lettuce and dressing. The bread came out warm and with butter so it was good too. My waitress Sara was very attentive and polite and seemed happy to help so I appreciate her for that. Also the food came out fast as well.

The gondolas are delicious and huge! They last me a few days. They have gluten free bread and pasta options as well.

Just had a delicious chicken parmigiana dinner. Good crisp salad and the incredible (as always) fresh-baked on-premises bread! Service by Erica C was most excellent. Fast, courteous, and correct. She kept my drink filled and checked back frequently. Avantis always provides and all-around wonderful dining experience! Thank you, Avantis!

I grew up eating Avantis and recently moved out of state but always ask friends and family to bring me something when they visit. I recommend the Sicilian!
