Best of Peoria

For half a century, Avanti’s Ristorante has satisfied Peoria’s cravings with traditional Italian dishes, world-famous gondola sandwiches and its beloved cheese soup. The prices are fantastic, the service is quick and the sweet bread keeps you coming back for more. With five area locations, Avanti’s is uniquely Peorian: the kind of place former residents miss when they leave, and always return to when they visit.
