Avanti Restaurant And Wine Bar

Beautiful space, excellent food and service. I went back 3X in one week. The margarita pizza was so fresh. They also have good selection of wine. It was an absolute treat.

Great restaurant! The meal was absolutely delicious, cooked very well. Service was extremely friendly and catered to our needs. Prices are on the higher end but I highly recommend

Only had desert. It was not great but ok!!! The place seems very quiet and abandoned, maybe because of the road constructions happening close by. The service is also ok.

The ambiance is beautiful… It gives Italian vibes… Service is a bit slow, language barrier can be a hindrance but they try overall. I had the chicken “special” The accompaniments (mashed potatoes & vegetables), were a bit cold. The Pineapple Juice is elite ! Really good freshly squeezed. Helen went above & beyond to make my experience extra good. Because of her, I give 4 stars otherwise I would have given 3. Ps. Ran Helen a bonus; she’s awesome.

I asked for pasta with a little bit of everything and boy did they deliver! Fantastico! The staff was incredibly professional and the atmosphere inside was reminiscent of fine dining back in the 50s with a piano and variety of whines. If you enjoy Italian food this place is a must (after 7pm is perfect). Great for a date or anything worth remembering.

I’ve been going to Avanti for years bc its been a family favorite. Their food has always been consistent. Their service is always impeccable, their waitstaff have been trained very well. Some of their portioning is a little weird, their raviolis are quite small and I don’t think is worth the price, but their other pastas are fairly sized portions.

my favorite italien restaurant in addis abeba! the dimmed light and the interior created an amazing ambience, the waiters are very friendly and professional and the food is soooo tasty! l had the mushroom soup, the baked tortellini (which l recommend everybody who loves cream-sauce) and the cream-caramel. everything was perfect! thanks to the avanti-staff for making my evening, l enjoyed a lot!

Place was very fancy and nice. Love music was going on via piano and saxophone, which was great. Prices are expensive for Ethiopia. Place was nice. Food was very tasty too. Why the 2 star? We have ordered 2 dishes both under 300 bir but when bill came it was 335 and 325 bir, plus 10% surcharge (not sure why), plus 15% tax (not sure of this is the case for restaurant or fancy restaurant). So my bill for 2 pasta dishes and a bottle of water - $880 bir. So I think I got ripped off (and didn’t say anything as language barrier), but I knew I would post a review so that either they stop ripping people off or tourist don’t go. Buyer beware. I won’t go again nor do I recommend.
