Latest Avanti's Italian Restaurant Reviews (Average Rating: 3)

based on 94 review(s)

Always great. College staple. Wish they still had college prices... but still worth every penny.

Jodi S. June 29, 2022 via Yelp

The job I was working on brought the crew in some "Famous Gondola's" for lunch. Avanti's describes the Gondola as a sub sandwich made with fresh baked bread...

Average Joe .. May 10, 2022 via Yelp

This place is really bad. Ordered a pizza burger which is apparently just a meatball sub that has been submerged in quite possibly the worst red sauce known...
