    Very sad to learn Avanti's owners are retiring and have sold the restaurant. Another Pasadena fixture gone. I've enjoyed their food since they had their pizza cafe on Lake Avenue. Have fond memories of celebrating a big birthday party where all the guests loved the space, the service and the menu. Wishing Bobby and Mina happy travels and a well-deserved retirement.

    In Google it had 2 $$ marks, but the place is quite expensive. The service was good and let us change the order because the Rissoto was not a real Rissoto. The other dishes were good but overpriced.

    This is our to-go neighborhood Italian place. Food is great and wonderful service. Casual but warm ambiance. The house-made garlic rolls and other bread is a nice treat to enjoy before you order. I had the fettuccine Alfredo and it’s one of the best I’ve had; creamy and very well prepared.
