We’ve been loyal customers of Avanti for well over a decade, celebrating countless special occasions and anniversaries here. The food has always been exceptional, and the ambiance consistently warm and relaxing, which is why this evening’s experience was so disappointing. While the past couple of visits felt a bit “off” in terms of service, tonight was the worst we’ve experienced. We waited 20–25 minutes (each time) before even seeing our server, who repeatedly left to sit and socialize with a group of male customers on the patio rather than checking on us. Our salads arrived after 44 minutes, and our entrées after more than an hour. When we finally asked for our check and requested our food to go, she kindly packed it, but then disappeared again to the patio. I had to get up and go to the bar myself to request the check. Only then did someone in a polo shirt approach her to let her know we were still waiting, well past closing time. This was truly disappointing after so many years of memorable experiences here and several positive google reviews. Amin M., we genuinely miss seeing you and the level of care and attentiveness you’ve always maintained. It’s noticeable that the subpar experiences we’ve had recently were during times when you weren’t here. We hope to see you again the next time we return.

The dining environment is excellent, and there is a guitarist playing and singing. The service attitude is also very good. As for the appetizers, wine is served first, followed by the appetizers, and then each course is served one after another. Every dish has a very unique taste.

Absolutely phenomenal food and service. This is my go to spot when I want to show people the beauty of Dallas food. Owners and management should be proud of the establishment they’re running!

Avanti is a total gem in Dallas! The vibe is cozy and romantic with live music that makes it feel special. The food was amazing — the crab-crusted sea bass and pasta were spot on, and the garlic loaf is a must. Service was top notch, super friendly and attentive without rushing us. A little pricey, but worth every penny for the quality and experience. Can’t wait to go back

Absolutely love this place!! We recently celebrated my brother’s birthday and anniversary dinner here, and it was nothing short of amazing. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing, with just the right touch of old-school Italian charm that makes it feel special without being over the top. It’s an intimate setting that creates a truly enjoyable and unique dining experience. I've dined here several times, and it continues to impress. Their house-made Caesar salad stands out where others fall short—authentic and full of flavor. The handmade pasta is a highlight, taking everything up a notch, and their thoughtful selection of Italian wines is the perfect complement if you’re looking to enjoy the full experience. This place has been a favorite of mine for a while now. The service is consistently outstanding, and the quality of the ingredients and preparation is always on point, especially given the reasonable pricing. Whether you're celebrating something special or just want a great meal, it’s a fantastic choice.

Quiet, relaxing w just enough old school Italiano vibe in a not too large setting to create an enjoyably unique experience. I’ve enjoyed dinner here several times and appreciate their house made Caesar where others are not authentic, and I love that they have a handmade pasta offering to really dial it up a notch. They also have an interesting choice of vinos from Italy to round off ur meal in good order if ur interested in going all in. They have been a favorite of mine for for awhile now as the service has been superb and the quality of ingredients and prep has been consistently spot on w their price points. Plan to Uber or valet in the evenings. Enjoy in style.
