Avanti is a good restaraunt serving fresh italian food. The only issue with Avanti is that the price per plate is pretty steep. I would recommend filling up on their delicious bread and then splitting an appetizer.

We've been there twice as we live in Pennington and it was delicious. Both times we had very nice experiences. The first time we saw this quaint little restaurant we just stopped in to take a look. It is decorated nice around the holidays and looked elegant. We had great service and they even let us go and try some desserts (though they normally don't do it when they're busy). I just wanted to let you know the food speaks volumes but the service was excellent as well, lots of specials and great cooks (wish I married one ;o). Go - you won't be disappointed but be sure to make a reservation as this little secret is getting out. Only complaint was a little drafty in the winter by the windows. PROS: Food - Quality and Quantity, Specials, Service CONS: A little drafty in winter - really not any ;o)

This restaurant is horrible! We went with a group and had a reservation. They rushed us through our dinner because they had double booked. When we asked to see the dessert menu they actually rolled their eyes! We spent good money, appetizers, full meals and were treated very, very rudely. Although the food was good I would NEVER return to this restaurant and will make it my mission to tell people. I wouldn't even give it one star.
