On our honeymoon, the attendants at the hotel that we stayed at suggested that we go to Avanzare. It is a small, mom & pop-type restaurant with the yummiest homemade Italian food. It was so great, that we returned to Vero for our 1-year anniversary and also went back to the restaurant. The service is extremely friendly! We highly recommend... More

Very good Italian food but a somewhat limited menu. Had the baked oysters and pan seared scallops and they were very good. Unfortunately Avanzare is a smaller restaurant where the tables are closer together which doesn't provide much privacy. That night there seemed to be a couple of larger parties which were loud which made basic conversation difficult. Anyway, the... More

Located in downtown Vero Beach in a building with an exterior which is not that all attractive. I have eaten in this place several times with mixed results. The menu has good variety and some dishes are tasty, but others leave a little to be desired. Short on value.

This is a great little romantic place. The food is amazing and very first class presentation. They have a full bar and the service is great. Not cheap or overpriced. Unique desserts go a long way with me. This isn't the best place for kids I'd say, and definitely good for special occasions. I can't wait to go back here.... More

We have been dining at Avanzare for the past 3 years and loved it every time we ate there. The food and service are top-notch. The early bird menu has great choices of items at a very resonable price. For $15.50, you can choose from ~6 appetizers, a salad (2-3 choices) and about 8 entrees, not all of which are... More

The lamb chops were FABULOUS, the service was great and the atmosphere was nice! Will go there again!

I am not sure why the restaurant appears so popular. The food is not very good. We had the ravioli and the parparadella bolognese. The sauces were tasteless and sweet, like canned pasta sauce. The Caesar salad was fairly flavorless, mainly creamy in character. Some aspects of the meal were strange - a piece of cheese and a grape on... More

We went on a Saturday for dinner of four. I had the Sunday Neopolitan dinner $22. This was braised short ribs with grilled peppers and Penne. It was incredible tender beef that you could cut with a fork and a wonderful gravy. The Caesar salad was grilled endives with a lovely light smoky flavor and anchovies. Excellent flavor. My wife...

recommended by a neighbor, Avanzare was perfect. Ravioli was the best I ever taste. My wife's canneloni was exquisite and light. Melon and provolone appetizer was free. Bread was good but small portions but our waiter was very attentive and kept the bread basket full. My brother's birthday was topped off with a desert and candle on the house.
