Avanti's Ristorante Pekin

This review is based on a couple of visits to Avanti's Ristorante in Pekin.

Our overall rating was 3.81 Stars (out of 5 stars).

Here's how that breaks down:

Family Friendly: 5 Stars  Avanti's is always very accommodating to our family.  

Menu: 3.5 Stars  If you're in the mood for pizza or pasta, this rating could jump to a 5.  They have a lot of variations, but it all boils down to pizza, pasta, and sandwiches.

Taste of the Food: 4 Stars  Avanti's bread is really, really good.

Appearance of the Food: 4 Stars  The food always looks good, but there's really no special presentation to speak of.

Restrooms: 5 Stars

Atmosphere: 3 Stars  The Pekin Avanti's is set up really weird.  Depending on where you sit you can be in a high traffic area or have a straight view into the kitchen.

Service: 5 Stars  Every time we've gone, the service has been outstanding.

Ethical/Sustainable:  3 Stars  Like most restaurants, there's not a lot to go on here.  The score could be higher if they provided information on where they sourced their food... then again it could be lower.


Pricing:  Sandwiches are $5-$7.  Entrees are $8-$12.  Pizzas are pretty standard for a sit-down restaurant.
