Avanti Italian Restaurant of Distinction 2728 E. Thomas Road Phoenix, AZ Phone: 602-956-0900 Fax:602-468-1913   WELCOME|MENU|CHEF|MAP Angelo Livi & Benito Mellino, Proprietors The restaurant that's been around forever maintains Tradition! ~1974-2003~ Long time Valley favorite Avanti Restaurant turns 29 this year. Since 1974 owners Benito Mellino and Angelo Livi have welcomed guests with the warm hospitality Italian's are famous for. Personal interaction begins with attention to detail whether it be remembering a customer's favorite table or preparing their special off-the-menu meal. Mellino and Livi take great strides in maintaining the Avanti dining tradition and in doing so 'update' rather than change menus with 'special' seasonal items. The Wine list and Bar service is more trendy complying with current customer requests and current bar fashion. In the dining room the authentic black and white decor remains classic yet has been updated with shots of wall color, new accessories and the latest in china and tableware fashions. This 30 year plus partnership is attributed to a unique blend of personalities, hospitality and consistent well-orchestrated menu items. At this point Avanti shows no signs of slowing down. Avanti Restaurant Proudly Celebrates 29 years! WELCOME|MENU|CHEF|MAP © 2004-2007 Feeding Frenzy, Inc™ All Rights Reserved.
