We have passed this place countless times and finally had dinner here one night. The server was attentive and kind. It is a rather large venue so it was nice not being seated right on top of others. On this particular night it was not crowded so the ambiance was nice. Their stuffed clams were amazing. Their home made pasta with vodka sauce was amazing. I would definitely come here again and have recommended this venue to several friends.

This place is amazing! The food tastes amazing, the wine is aged perfectly, and the ambiance is so romantic for me and my husband! I did choke on a noodle when I tried to do the lady and the tramp thing with him though so I tack off a star

I had a delicious lunch there this afternoon. I was eating with a classmate I hadn't seen in 60 years. Although our primary purpose was to visit, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the excellent service we recieved. Sharing the information about not seeing each other for 60 years, we were seated in the quietest corner of the restaurant. We immediately were served fresh bread and fresh ice water with lemon. And with respect for our purpose we not interrupted in our visit. When we wanted to order the waiter was immediately there and took our order. I did ask to skip the French fries with my sandwich and was pleasantly surprised to see they ordered a side salad without my requesting it. A nice surprise. And both our orders were very good and served promptly. This is the best part, we were discretely left to enjoy our conversation and not interrupted at all. Our glasses were refreshed with our a big production and we talked and ate at we were not rushed at all. When I looked up when we were done, the bill and the "to go" containers were instantly delivered. Everything was excellent but the descretion they allowed us to visit a bit longer than the normal lunch hour and there was no sense of being rushed. I would recommend the food and especially the service which was a perfect balance of service and respect for our visit. The whole meal was a very nice experience and would recommend this place for their food and their attentiveness to what we wanted. Thank you.

Very good place that's easily overlooked. A hidden gem for Italian in the community. Need to be updated a little but the owners are great and service is terrific. Great Family Restaurant. Very kid friendly.

Came here with a large group for a work dinner and the server did an amazing job catering to our rowdy 12 person group. Ricardo was patient, attentive, and ensured our wine glasses weren't empty. You get a very classic Italian restaurant feeling when you enter which was nice. The only negative was that the food did take a long time to come out but I assume that was because of our large group. We ordered a few pizzas to share and I had the Bianca pizza which was really tasty. It had a thin crust and plenty of cheese which I love. I ordered a Caesar chicken salad for my meal and they gave me plenty of chicken and it was flavorful too! For desert we had the chocolate cake which was moist and had plenty of chocolate for a chocolate lover like myself. My colleagues had plenty of their pasta and all seems really satisfied with that as well. Great establishment with reasonable prices as well!

Never disappoints! Impressively authentic, Italian restaurant in the local area. Personable management, amazing cocktails, even more amazing dishes. I love the intimate, fine dining aesthetic. I love the Fried Calamari, Parmesan Chicken, Pesce Bianco Almondine, and the Melangrano cocktail. They offer authentic Italian dishes, not the typical chain restaurant options. Perfect place for large parties, date night, and business meetings. Recommend this place every time! You will not be disappointed. Best around.

Great as always. Arrived early accommodated reservation. Quick and friendly service, very attentive. Good vibes but does get loud when busy. NYE specials were all excellent. Coffee hot and dark. Left in agonizing pain from over eating. Not much more to say.

A nice suburban Italian joint with huge portions. We visited on a Wednesday night. The decor isn't trendy. It's just your garden variety mom-and-pop place. Most of the patrons were older. You begin with a basket of bread. It's a nice treat to get focaccia, but it didn't have a ton of flavor. I ordered the Pollo Vesuvio - it was very tender with good flavor from the many herbs applied. It came with a lot of potatoes and peas, which added nice texture to the dish. My wife couldn't decide between two pastas, so our server was kind enough to offer her half-portions of each. We also tried the burrata pizza - it was very thin crust with a pleasant flavor. I have a high bar for Italian joints. Avanzare isn't in the top tier, but its large portions and generally good flavors and textures push this place into the "solidly good" category.
