 | 	- We wanted to love this place.
The decor is gorgeous.   My girlfriend called it "old school," but I thought it was so unique and refreshing.  Roses coming out of red walls.  I loved it.
The owner who greeted us couldn't have been nicer.  
The rest of our experience, unfortunately, wasn't as good.
When we sat down, the plates in front of us were taken away, and then they gave us bread ... without any plates (and without telling us it's garlic bread so you don't need butter or anything).  We were confused, though the bread was delicious.
The appetizer we got (which was a sampler with 3 pastas) was lukewarm.  Not bad enough to send back, but nothing to rave about.
My girlfriend's entree was incorrectly made, but the server fixed this quickly and brought us a free dessert as well.
Both entrees were fine.  Again, nothing to rave about.
We had a deal for $20 off, but were pretty shocked when the bill came, showing $90.  The entrees are more expensive than good, as is the rest of Avanti.
