I love the decor at this restaurant! Went there for the first time with a Groupon discount and have been back 3 times since then. The calamari is the BEST I have ever had here or in any restaurant in California. Can't wait for the summer lobster special to return. All of the pasta dishes are great. Save room for the amazing tiramisu. The waiters all speak Italian and are very attentive as is the owner who always makes it a point to stop by our table to see how we enjoyed our meal. We had my Mother's 91st birthday dinner at Avanti, and she was thrilled with the attention that was lavished on her that day. Will definitely be going back soon.
