Avanti's is a casual Italian restaurant and a Peoria legend. They are best known for their trademark sweet bread used for their sandwiches and pizza bread. Prices are really reasonable, and Avanti's has everything from tortellini to cold cut sandwiches called gondolas. While the food isn't overly gourmet, many Peorian natives have to make a trek to Avanti's when they return home. Be careful in the parking lot here, because the steady stream of traffic is poorly routed and has caused several fender benders between customers.
