such a nice place with really yum food (I had the gnocchi with burrata). The staff were super nice and patient with my little step-brother and gave us some limoncello at the end :)the rosemary bread thing was super nice too

I almost don't want to tell you about this restaurant because it took a fortnight to get a booking there as it was... for a weekday!I think this might be the best Italian restaurant in England - I adore Italian food so I've been to hundreds of different ones all over the country. If I could give it ten stars, I would.Everything about this little place near the river Thames is delightful. Even the napkins.The staff are smiling, attentive, knowledgeable, and generous. The portions are belly-busting (I took my leftovers home). The food - omg! It was so delicious I'd have licked my plate if it wasn't impolite.My husband has visited several times with work colleagues and always raved about it, but I didn't believe him. This place... I'm in love ?

Went for my son’s birthday and we had a fantastic meal. The service is great and the food is delicious. This is exactly how an Italian restaurant should be and it clearly works as it was fully booked on a Tuesday evening.

They don't need my glowing review. Everyone knows this place is great, as evinced by the fact you always need a reservation to eat here. But I'll give it anyway. Traditional Italian food the like of which I've only had in Italy, a friendly atmosphere, and good service.

STOP! At this restaurant. Because this is one of those places where when you've visited an area and eaten food there, you will always remember it, because of the wonderful food you've eaten! My meal had a perfect balance of flavours and so much love put into it by the chef.! The Risotto was the best I've ever had and Tiramasu was home made and luscious! One complaint, we live 3 hours away, or we'd visit every week!!

First time coming for myself but my partner has been before. First impressions were great, after some confusion with our booking we were seated. The starter, oh were so I start it was amazing. The main was so good and filling. We decided to have a cocktail each it was lovely. We decided to head home but not before ordering pudding to take away. Lemon and chocolate cheese cake where can I buy a whole one because ohh it was the best pudding I've had in a very long time. The staff were lovely it was nice seeing them sing along to the songs and just checking in everynow and then. We will be back again.Vegetarian options: Loads of vegetarian options to choose from.

The food hospitality and service from this family run restaurant is fabulous. We were visiting for a few day in the area and it was so good we had lunch with friends and then dinner the following evening ourselves. 5* loved it!!

An absolute gem. The most amazing friendly service that immediately transports you to a little family restaurant in Italy. Absolutely loved it.
Thank you for a lovely meal and great welcome as we celebrated my aunt's birthday yesterday. Always a winner coming to Avanti!
Excellent food as always with service!
Food was incredible. Staff friendly and genuine. Best carbonara I've had. Can't recommend highly enough.
Best Italian restaurant in the area by a mile. Superb food and atmosphere. Perfect for every occasion. Cannot fault it
