    My party went to Avanti for my post-graduation meal and I could not have chosen a better place. The food was amazing especially the crème brûlée at the end. The service was impeccable and attentive. The cost was a bit higher than expected but the quality of the food was well worth it for such an experience. If I ever come back to Phoenix and Scottsdale, I’ll come to this place again.

    Old school for sure, but that's no excuse for using canned/jarred artichoke hearts in a dish. I've seen dishes plated better in a good cook's home than at Avanti. I suppose the throwback design is a nod to yesteryear and that's okay but the Chicken Francese and Gnocchi were serious disappointments.
