The ambiance at Avanzare was very nice, especially with all of the holiday decorations. They have a great bar area with lots of seating. Service was great. Unfortunately, the food was a little disappointing compared to other Italian restaurants we've been to. I doubt that the Caesar dressing had any anchovy paste in it, which is standard in authentic Caesar salad dressing. The Cavatelli Vodka lacked flavor. My dad did not like the marinara sauce at all. My husband did like his chicken marsala and said it was not too sweet. Overall, the concensus was that we are more inclined to return to Maggiano's or Rosebud's in the future.

Delightful, attentive service. The staff answered questions and explained how the food was prepared. Made substitutions. Kept my water glass full. Mom thoroughly enjoyed her salmon.

Ours was a Christmas Eve dinner. Ambiance only so-so as to holiday decor. Service was very good and attentive. Cocktails were very nice. Our bruschetta appetizer was strange…pieces of toasted bread surrounding a mound of Italian salsa. Many of the bread pieces were charred in spots. My risotto with scallops special was rice prepared in a tomato sauce with a handful of bay scallops, most of which were charred on one side. I’m sure the restaurant can do better!

First time here. Found it from Open Table search. Great find and can’t wait to go back. Food was outstanding (lasagna, short rib, beet salad, buratta). Service was attentive and friendly. Check it out if you’ve never been.
