Avanti Italian Kitchen Research Forest

First time here and we had a wonderful meal. Staff were attentive and gracious. Chef even came out to ask how we liked everything. We'll definitely be back!

This is a nice causal Italian restaurant. There is a wide variety of seating options from booths to tables and bar seating. The menu consists of pizza, salads, sandwiches and pasta options. The spaghetti carbonara had good flavor. The sauce was really dense. It tasted more authentic than a typical American style alfredo sauce. The bread tasted a bit stale and was dry. The pizza looked great with fresh toppings. The ravioli was simply amazing. It's a large portion that is really savory. The pasta vegetable soup had little broth and was very hearty. It was really good. Between the food taste and the decor, it really brought back memories of dining in Italy.

Stopped in for my FIL's birthday and had a great experience! The staff and manager were very attentive. The appetizers and meals were hot and delicious. We tried several of the cocktails--frozen peach bellini was a hit with all of us and my MIL enjoyed the songbird. We also got to try all of the house made desserts, which were all wonderful. We'll definitely be back!!

A good place a grab some solid Italian food and drinks for a decent price. Great atmosphere with $5 cocktails during happy happy hour (wine deals as well). Will be back for happy hour.

Very pleasantly surprised when we showed for lunch. The menu was very affordable, food complimented each other, and it was overall a great experience.
