    Inferior Italian food...like Cici's pizza was good.. soup was like it was boiled, it was soooo hot!! The place is very outdated...needs a good scrubbing!! Server was not into it. She would disappear quite often. I would not go out of my way to come back here.....

    Just had a delicious chicken parmigiana dinner. Good crisp salad and the incredible (as always) fresh-baked on-premises bread! Service by Erica C was most excellent. Fast, courteous, and correct. She kept my drink filled and checked back frequently. Avantis always provides and all-around wonderful dining experience! Thank you, Avantis!

    I grew up eating Avantis and recently moved out of state but always ask friends and family to bring me something when they visit. I recommend the Sicilian!

    Baked ziti with mushrooms

    Food was very good and service was also very good - not like some of the other reviews. The bread was excellent - and they are known for it. We diid the make your own pasta and both our dinners were very good. It's not high end Italian, but it is very good and the price is extremely good! You get a salad, bread, and your pasta dish, and our tab was $22 including tax. Can't beat it.

    See all

    Bread dry. No butter. BLT dry. No mayonnaise. They are not taking time with their orders.

    Quality was down significantly from what it use to be. Sad as it's a Peoria staple. This was a take out order.

    Food was good. I had the Lasagna. Service was very good. The waitress checked on us several times about water and how the food was.

    The gondolas are delicious and huge! They last me a few days. They have gluten free bread and pasta options as well.

    I've never had a bad meal here. I really like the food, but not the ambiance. Usually order delivery.

    The food was good. Staff were friendly. We took a large group of hungry college kids and the bill was surprisingly low.

    Ambiance = to any other restaurant in the country…read more Service = to the finest restaurants in the US. Food = to anything worldwide. The owner/chef came out to introduce himself since he was informed that my wife and I were celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary. This was our first time ever at the restaurant and I am disappointed that while living in Peoria, IL for 50 years I never had been there before. Now it's the only place I will go out to dinner at when I am in Peoria. The address is actually listed as 3218 N. Dries Lane in Peoria, IL and is across from the old Landmark Theatre on Dries Ln. You can actually locate it off of University St. also.

    Food was phenomenal, the potatoes that came with my dish were perfectly cooked and had great flavor…read moredepth. However, I run into a few problems with the cook on my steak, and the plating. This dish was 57$ and I requested the steak be cooked medium rare but more on the rare side. My steak was bordering blue rare. It tasted amazing regardless. I also wish to add that the plating was sloppy, obviously this is just nit picking, but it is something I wished to include. Service was alright, I had to ask multiple times for my sparkling water that I had ordered. This was during a work party and we had a group of around 10 while the restaurant was already pretty full so I understand how it could have slipped their mind, however at a restaurant as professional as this I would have expected better regardless.
