Highly recommended Avanti was my choice for dinner while visiting Phoenix. Avanti is located in suburban Phoenix so it would definitely have to be a recommend. I don't know how else you would find this place.
In any case, parking is plentiful. You walk into a "mid 50-60" decor with red walls and dim lighting. Servers are dressed in suits. White table cloth, complete table setting, sexy in its own way.
Short menu (that is a plus) Short wine list (another plus) and a good selection of wines by the glass.
The food wash acceptable. The osso bucco was tasty but could have been done a tinge more. I like it when the marrow is like a gel...
Truthfully, went there for the gnocchi which was okay.there were several sauces you could choose from to lather the gnocchi. I chose a cream sauce... Sauce was too thick for my liking, which IMHO took away from the texture of the gnocchi itself.
I would go back though...atmosphere nice, servers nice... Repeat performance do-able
