We love Avanti's! The food is always great! Whether we dine in or cary out everyone is always so friendly! Way to go Avanti's!

Since the location near Bradley University closed after it was bought by the university (boo!), I had to drive from downtown to the other side of the mall for my gondola . Worth it!

Just go for the bread!!! Best ever! Treating a big group? This is tasty and affordable! A Peoria institution! Also love the house Italian dressing! I order from there regularly and am always pleased!

Wooohooo P-town roadtrip! Good'o Avanti's. I went to school across from this place years ago and I couldn't get enough of it. After our weekly walks of shame, we would meet here for lunch. I still can't get enough of it. So every time I'm in dirty, old P-town...this is where I eat. It's the best, cheap, Italian food in this country...hands down! Even now, whenever a friend either comes or goes from P-town to Chicago, my first words are always "Could you pick me up some Avanti's?" The bread comes out soft and the ranch dressing is outstanding. They even added cheese melting as an option on top of all their pastas and that alone makes me smile. The gondolas are great sandwiches! If you ever meet anyone from Peoria....probably the first thing that comes out of their mouth is something positive about Avanti's. Peoria=Avanti's
