This restaurant consistently serves the finest food in the area. I'm more than happy to make the hour-long drive several times a year just to dine at Avanti's! Their Gondolas are simply delicious! View all feedback.
What marty laurent dislikes about Avanti's:
Traveling thru, had good Google reviews so we stopped. I do not recommend at all, more of a fast foot Italian with no service at table. Plus food was very bland, and salad was iceberg with some dressing on the top. No cheese or tomatoes. Very disappointed. It's pretty cheap.....so I guess I got what I paid for. If you want tastful Italian, please go somewhere else! View all feedback.

Not impressed with their business model. Hostes takes your order in front entry as you walk in. Have to look at the menu there. After you order you seat yourself and go into an alcove to get your drink. Only one server to bring out the food. Good thing it wasn't busy. Presume this was done post covid and still can't find enough help to cover. Food was very good.
Avanti's has been a beloved spot in the Twin Cities for decades. Many former ISU students have fond memories of it. The food was fairly good and offered at a great price. Unfortunately, since the founder passed away, the quality of the food hasn’t improved, yet the prices have risen. With the higher costs, they should be offering better quality meat and cheese.
I love the cheese balls, gondolas, and especially the cheesecakes—the Reese's cheesecake is definitely my favorite! They also have the best ranch dressing in central Illinois, hands down.
The team at Avantis was a pleasure to work with. Both the owner and the planner were actively involved in the wedding, ensuring that we had an amazing experience. They even came a day early to set up, with the venue’s approval, and arrived early on the day of the wedding. The food was outstanding, and they went above and beyond to make sure every detail was just right. We collaborated with Martha, who was clear and direct in her communication. She assessed the amount of food perfectly and demonstrated a high level of professionalism throughout the process. I would absolutely choose to work with Avantis again!
