Reviews for Avanti Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar - Creekside Park in Tomball, TX

NEW FAVORITE ITALIAN RESTAURANT! Been on the hunt for a new favorite spot for Italian food in the area, and I think we finally... found it! Avanti blew us away with the most delicious Italian food I've had in a long time, along with providing exemplaryservice. It was our first visit, and it will not be our last. We stopped by on a Friday night for a quick meal, before catchinga movie across the street... Although we were pressed for time, we enjoyed a variety of dishes (and a cocktail); all brought toour table very quickly. To note, the speedy delivery of our food did not diminish the lovely plating/presentation of the dishes,and every item was phenomenal. We tried the Cucumber Elderflower Martini (so crisp & refreshing), the best Calamari we've everhad, the delightful Chicken Avanti (an elevated piccata), and a traditional Lasagna Bolognese you can count on.... Not a singlecomplaint. Everything was amazing. ***Chef's Kiss*** I would order every item all over again (and again). However, on our nextvisit I'm hoping we have more time to our evening, so we can try more dishes & cocktails. And, I'm sure we will be checking outthe sister location at Research Forest sometime in the near future, as well. We aim to be regulars... It was an excellent mealand a wonderful experience. Grazie!

A couple of people I work with recommended this place, and they were right! Came in for my birthday; food tasted superb and the... restaurant itself has a calm and relaxed ambience. The surrounding area's traffic can get congested in the evenings, so do keepthat in mind if keeping a reservation. There's plenty of easy, fast parking once you get there and you're greeted at the doorwith a smile! While we didn't sit outside, they do have a lovely outdoor area that makes you just want to sit down for a glassof wine to enjoy the day. Great place! Read more

Excellent Easter dinner with Gigi Olive Garaycochea Vaughn Tried out a new(to us) place called Avanti Italian kitchen and wine... bar. Scratch kitchen, amazing food and excellent service highly recommend this place. We had the Mediterranean Calamariappetizer,, cook perfect not to much breading and the Calamari was tender not chewy or tough. Lightly dusted and fried,pepperoncini peppers, cherry tomatoes, artichokes, capers, Italian olives, feta cheese and tossed in a lemon buttersauce. Salads I had the Cesar's salad just enough dressing and the lettuce was crisp and fresh. Wife had the Arugula saladHeirloom tomato, watermelon radish, toasted pine nuts, shaved Parmesan, house vinaigrette. Main course for me was spaghetti and meatball. Spaghetti pasta, black angus chuck and pork meatball, Pomodoro, Parmesan, fresh basil. It was very good, the noodleswere not mushy the sauce was delicious and the meatball was flavorful. Wife had the Branzino , Grilled Mediterranean Sea bass,artichokes, oven roasted tomatoes, sautéed baby spinach, Italian olives, crispy sunchokes, lemon butter sauce. Also verygood. The table bread was soft and fresh. I could not finish my spaghetti so had to take it home also took home a piece ofAmaretto cake with scratch made frosting. Haven't tried it will update later. 10 ou of 10 would recommend. It's not cheap butit's also not ridiculous. For the atmosphere, quality and service it is well worth it. Read more

I had an excellent dining experience here, from the time we were greeted with a smile at the hostess stand, to the moment we... left. The beautiful decor is warm and inviting, and the service is impeccable! Our server was perfect, not too overbearing,and the manger on duty, Melanie, was extremely kind. We enjoyed our conversation with the staff. The food is made from scratchwith quality ingredients. You can't beat the pasta dishes on the lunch menu, they are phenomenal, and the lasagna is the best Ihave ever had. Job well done, Avanti Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar! Read more

The food was pretty good; we had several pasta dishes and the pomodoro sauce had a great fresh tomato flavor; the lemon butter... sauce on the linguine and clams was just a little heavy on the butter, but tasty. The mussels were also pretty good. The onlydrawback was that the meal was a bit pricey, but it seems we need to get used to that! Read more

This was our first time here, we had heard so many good things on different foodie groups on Facebook but honestly we were very... disappointed. The Brussel sprouts were swimming in olive oil, the Nonna’s zuppa was pretty bland and the seafood risottoplatter was filled with little shells in every other bite. I was also very surprised that Alfredo was not on the menu at all.Definitely not the best quality food for the price in our opinion!! Although the location is convenient, we won’t be back.Besides the food being poor, the patio was nice and quaint and the service was okay- also not great! Read more

We stumbled upon the gold mine of flavor by accident. From the outstanding host service and wonderful wait staff to the high end... food with a diverse wine selection, you cannot go wrong. Our food was magnificent and the dessert really made the evening! Ihighly recommend the amaretto creme Brule! Well worth an evening with your significant other or a great spot to impress businessguests Read more

We had another excellent meal at Avanti Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar. All of their food is so fresh and prepared with extreme... attention to detail. Pretty much everything is made from scratch daily…from the sauces, and pastas, to the breads, anddesserts. Even their salad dressings are scratch made ! Our server was phenomenal. She was courteous and prompt, but notoverbearing, and she had excellent wine knowledge. As for the decor, the place is stunningly beautiful. Do yourself a favorand try them out, you won’t be sorry!
