Uptown​のベストイタリアンレストラン

The brunch here is so amazing! We spoke with the chef to tell him so. Ambiance and service were also top notch.

My wife and I started dining at Avanti over 25 years ago when we were dating. We have celebrated many anniversaries there since, as we did last evening. When I made the reservation on Open Table I stated that it was our anniversary and requested our favorite seating in the northwest corner of the dining area because it’s quiet and provides a nice view of the rest of the restaurant. When we arrived we were greeted by the warm and friendly hostess who wished us a happy anniversary said that our table was ready. Our waiter, Martin, was friendly, informative and attentive. My wife ordered her usual Bolognese. We have traveled to Italy many times and the Tagliatelle Bolognese at Avanti is by far the most authentic we’ve had in the US. I had the Cioppino which was also amazing. They surprised us with Tiramisu served on a platter wishing us a happy anniversary. It was just as romantic as always. Thank you Avanti… we will be back again!!

We had a fantastic experience dining at Sister! Everything we ordered was delicious, from the small plates (e.g., beets and avocado, cacio e pepe potatoes, veal and pork meatballs) to the pastas (e.g., clam vongole, pesto fusilli, white amatriciana), entrees and desserts. Our server was warm and very attentive. We were celebrating a special occasion and received a hand written note signed by the entire staff! We will definitely be back soon!

Went Xmas eve. They graciously accommodated a last minute add on to our party. It’s nice and dark but you can see- very good old- person lighting. They offer excellent food and drinks. We ordered family style. Lemon pasta, carrots, and meatballs were the best. Salmon was cooked perfectly, a simple dish. We got prompt and attentive but not overbearing service-top notch. The bartenders were incredibly efficient while we waited for our table- considering how busy they were. That all said, something about it was lacking in a special experience. Perhaps I’d try on a quieter evening when I’m better rested with a well-charged social battery.

Had a great evening with a party of 6. The only real drawback was the size of the tables and booths. It looks like 90% of them for designed for 5 people which feels like a really weird choice. The 6 of us had to squeeze into one of the oblong booths which was definitely not ideal. I would not come back here with a party of that size, despite the delicious food and great service.
