Avanti Italian Kitchen Wine Creekside Park

A couple of people I work with recommended this place, and they were right! Came in for my birthday; food tasted superb and the restaurant itself has a calm and relaxed ambience. The surrounding area's traffic can get congested in the evenings, so do keep that in mind if keeping a reservation. There's plenty of easy, fast parking once you get there and you're greeted at the door with a smile! While we didn't sit outside, they do have a lovely outdoor area that makes you just want to sit down for a glass of wine to enjoy the day. Great place!

NEW FAVORITE ITALIAN RESTAURANT! Been on the hunt for a new favorite spot for Italian food in the area, and I think we finally found it! Avanti blew us away with the most delicious Italian food I've had in a long time, along with providing exemplary service. It was our first visit, and it will not be our last. We stopped by on a Friday night for a quick meal, before catching a movie across the street... Although we were pressed for time, we enjoyed a variety of dishes (and a cocktail); all brought to our table very quickly. To note, the speedy delivery of our food did not diminish the lovely plating/presentation of the dishes, and every item was phenomenal. We tried the Cucumber Elderflower Martini (so crisp refreshing), the best Calamari we've ever had, the delightful Chicken Avanti (an elevated piccata), and a traditional Lasagna Bolognese you can count on.... Not a single complaint. Everything was amazing. Chef's Kiss I would order every item all over again (and again). However, on our next visit I'm hoping we have more time to our evening, so we can try more dishes cocktails. And, I'm sure we will be checking out the sister location at Research Forest sometime in the near future, as well. We aim to be regulars... It was an excellent meal and a wonderful experience. Grazie!

We accidentally discovered a true gem of flavor. The exceptional host service and friendly wait staff set the stage for a remarkable dining experience, complemented by exquisite food and a diverse selection of wines. The dishes we had were spectacular, and the dessert truly capped off the evening! I highly recommend the amaretto crème brûlée—it's absolutely worth it for a night out with your partner or to impress business clients.

We visited this restaurant for the first time after hearing great things from various foodie groups on Facebook, but unfortunately, we were quite disappointed. The Brussels sprouts were drenched in olive oil, the Nonna's zuppa lacked flavor, and the seafood risotto platter was filled with tiny shells in nearly every bite. I was also taken aback to find that Alfredo was not on the menu at all. In our opinion, the food quality did not match the price. While the location is convenient, we will not be returning. Despite the lackluster food, the patio was charming and the service was decent, though not exceptional.

We enjoyed another fantastic meal at Avanti Italian Kitchen Wine Bar. Everything is incredibly fresh and crafted with meticulous care. Almost all their dishes are made from scratch each day, including the sauces, pastas, breads, and desserts. Even the salad dressings are prepared in-house! Our server was exceptional—she was polite and attentive without being intrusive, and she had great knowledge of the wine selections. The decor is breathtakingly beautiful as well. Do yourself a favor and give them a try; you won't regret it!
