Avanti's - East Peoria

We were there on July 11, on Rockwood in Peoria, Illinois, the service was terrible, the waitress didn't even get my order in, she said she forgot, the other customers around me complained, one gentleman asked another if a waitress was working in his area. She served my salad with my meal, we had to ask for our bread, it was ridiculous. The other customers that came after us were getting served before us by another waitress we were somewhat surprised. We won’t go to the Rockwood avanti's again. Also, the sandwiches are getting skimpier on their meat, it’s really changed.

My husband and I went to your new restaurant last Saturday on Knoxville Avenue. We have gone to your restaurants for years but were very disappointed with this one. I ordered a pizza burger and my husband ordered a pizza burger prima. The meatballs on the sandwiches were ridiculous. We both had five on each of our sandwiches and the biggest ones were the size of a quarter and two of them were the size of nickels. The waitress was very nice so we did not complain. The bill was around twenty dollars and not worth it. We will not be going back there. The meatballs used to be three times that size. If you want to scrimp it would just be better to charge another dollar per sandwich so your customers will be satisfied. If you keep that up you will be losing a lot more customers other than us.

Favorite place growing up! Always had the best cheese ravioli and garlic bread anywhere.
