This unpretentious restaurant deserves the reputation it has built - service is fast and friendly, the food is excellent and comes in large servings and the prices are very reasonable. The $18 special main courses the night we were there were very good value. More

We have been to this restaurant many times but last week we went to two of our other favourite restaurants in Brisbane and that was when we realised how fantastic this place really is. Because of the bad service at the others that week we were watching service much more closely. We were seated straight away, had water on the... More

We frequently come to Avanti's for our Italian in Brisbane and the servings are massive. We normally leave with doggy bags. Good value and friendly service. True blue Italian with a average decore. Can recommend!! More

Good value meals, fairly unchanging menu, excellent fast service, large servings - this is a good, reliable family restaurant that we've been going to for years. Unpretentious. More

Lashings of garlic and huge serves. We go here when we are hungry. Decor is a bit basic but service is always friendly. Familes and couples, groups etc. The pasta is excellent and my wife's favourite is the Veal Scallopini. More

We have been to Avanti's on a number of occasions and consistency is what this place is about. The pasta dishes are cooked fresh and I have been able to request a dish that caters for my vegetarian requirements with no problem at all. Advise on booking as this place is popular. More

A table for five in a less than half-filled restaurant, but they couldn't get five meals to arrive at once?! Rude surly waitress ensured an eyebrow-raising beginning, followed by three pizzas. Almost finished when two pastas turned up. With those almost consumed, lamb shanks on a cold plate turned up. The lamb shanks were also cold in the middle. Assured... More

Have eaten there many times. Large portions, quite good value, but to my mind too much garlic. BYO, parking available, easy access. Breadth of menu good. More
