Very cheap and great staff! Usually not too bad of a wait either. Cheapest eat in restaurant for what you get.

Wife and I both got the cheese ravioli, very good, very hot. Salad was simple yet delicious. Service wasn't the greatest, slow to refill drinks and she offered us a to go drink and she never brought them. Clean restaurant. Will be back!

I don't know what all the complaints are about. we stopped traveling through town & loved this place! The food was delicious, especially the bread. The bruschetta was to die for-best we have ever had! The service was also great. A great value too-prices were very reasonable.

They are now closed on Tuesdays due to a lack of staff. Went there for lunch, and a bit of a wait for the same reason above. We placed our orders, and they came fairly quickly. Everyone at the table said their meals were good. Got the small 6" pizza and a whole gondola. Took some of both home as leftovers. Waitress was OK.

Avantis is the home of my favorite food- ever. I have been coming to this place since I was younger when I lived in Peoria and come back just to make at least 2-3 stops here. We always leave with extras to take home too since I'm never sure the next time I will be back in town. The bread is the best and the main factor for why I love this place so much. Every time I always get their famous gondola and got pizza bread this time too. Due to COVID, the location is currently curbside pick up/ take out only but I actually prefer the pizza bread this way than in the restaurant (it comes more as a sandwich rather than 2 halves of bread with cheese on top) Avantis food is always fresh, flavorful, and I'm not even sure they've increased their prices since I moved away 20 years ago! Very affordable and I can't wait to come back. Also- we have ordered from this location multiple times for my friend from Pekin to bring to me in Indiana. They will siren wrap the bread to keep it fresh and also bag the sandwich items (ham, salami, cheese, lettuce) separately to then assemble ourselves. I have ordered it for my friend to bring to my bridal shower and for our pre-wedding meal and it still turns out great. Love this place & will be back soon!

I have been to this Avanti's a few times and it's great. The food is always good and consistent between restaurants. My wife loves this place so whenever we visit it is a must go. Very affordable food items ranging from salad, sandwiches, pizza, pasta, and obviously there famous gondola sandwiches. I got the turkey gondola with swiss and American cheese and added mayo. Huge sandwich but with determination you can finish it! Thought about trying the Crispy chicken sandwich but maybe next time. The pizza bread is very good, also recommend. Didn't have time to take a photo this time, just enough time to get to eating :) Overall great restaurant with great service and delicious, very affordable foods. Will definitely be back next time we are in town. Covid19 update: currently curbside pick up or order and take out. Restaurant part is currently closed. Staff wear masks and there is hand sanitizer available. Obviously you must wear your mask.

I was a little unsure when I saw all the negative reviews but I have to say, we had a pretty good experience here! We had a private room for a family gathering. Our server was friendly, helpful and attentive. I'm sure she had other tables she was waiting on besides us and even though we were in a completely different room, she was on it. I went with the buffalo chicken wrap. Our server suggested going with the crispy chicken over the grilled for the wraps (my mom also ordered a different wrap) and she did not steer us wrong! The wrap was delicious! Pretty spicy though so a side or two of ranch was definitely necessary. (Which, lets be honest, I would have done regardless of the spice level.) Overall, two thumbs up!
