Avanti Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar

We chose Avanti as our first post pandemic restaurant and had a wonderful time. The food was excellent, the atmosphere lovely and our server, Pilar, was phenomenal! Highly recommend!!

I am an Italian from NYC, I am so excited about your am restaurant! The food is delicious, authentic, just marvelous! Highly Recommend ! Delivery too! Excellent! Next time I drive by, I’ll stop in and say Hi!!

Went last night with another couple. I always thought the sister restaurant Via Emilia was among the top two restaurants in the Woodlands but hands down Avanti is the best restaurant in the Woodlands. This place is off the charts superb. I had the Cacio Pepe with truffles and my wife had the Branzino. Both were world class. Oh and the capresse appetizer was wonderful with house made burette and marinated tomatoes.

First, I want this restaurant to be successful! My wife and I had the fried calamari... needs to be improved. Portion needs to include more fresh calamari. Their bread needs to be more of an Italian oven baked bread. Also, their menu needs to include more main course options. However, my wife had the chilean Seabass and I had the grilled chicken with pasta... both were very good! Their dessert was excellent. Bartender can use a little more experience. But overall good place. Like I said in the beginning, I want this Italian restaurant to be successful... as we need a great Italian restaurant in this neighborhood. Best of luck!

We brought our little ones with us, and even though they were a little animated when we first arrived, everyone was so kind and inviting. In no time at all, everyone was at peace with warm bread, tasty pasta and incredible service. We will be back!! (P.S. the pianist is fantastic)
