Description
Once a beloved staple in Bloomington-Normal, Avanti's has faced significant shifts since the pandemic, leaving many longtime patrons disheartened. The dining experience now leans towards a cafeteria-style service, with limited menu options that fail to capture the restaurant's previous charm. Patrons have reported disappointing food quality, including inadequate portion sizes and unremarkable flavors. Although the nostalgic Italian ambiance remains, with some positive mentions of certain dishes, the overall atmosphere and service have struggled. Avanti's legacy as a community favorite hangs in the balance, marked by a blend of fond memories and recent disappointments.

Been going Avanti's for over 40 years. They have a big selection on the menu. Nice family atmosphere. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
The gondola sandwiches are good, the pizza is decent but too expensive so I don’t buy it anymore from this place, the spaghetti and the sauce are nothing special. It seems like every single thing here is juts too expensive for just an okay food. Parking: Being next to the ISU can sometimes be crowded. Service: Takeaway Meal type: Lunch
I’m sorry but the food was not good whatsoever. I tried to enjoy it, couldn’t. It said fresh Parmesan on the website. I got a tiny packet of pre packaged Parmesan cheese. The chicken noodle soup was absolutely horrid as well. The bread was hard, idk bad experience all over. Money wasted! I will not be returning. Service: Takeaway Meal type: Dinner
I do not live in town, but I never miss a stop while passing through. The gondola is one of my favorite all-time sandwiches (going on 40 years!
