Avanti Caffe

Recently visited Avanti Caffe for the first time and it certainly won't be my last. I ordered the Avanti Classico Italian sub with a bag of chips and a drink. The bread was perfectly crispy and chewy and the Italian meats were fresh and plentiful.

Sandwiched (duly) in the pocket of Jackson right under the Quincy CTA, this cozy family owned stop not only has a toasty menu of ready-made pizza, cannolis, and fresh subs to boast, but a rewards program (with members card) and daily offerings to boost the lunch appeal! Janet’s my go-to for Chicago-tier service, and a good friend to make if you work the Tower district 🌟

I just go here for the iced coffee which is great my the way.... But the company does sell many other things like pizza, pasta, etc

Pizza Tostino was 🔥 The grilled panini comes with a side of warm marinara. Get the combo (drink and chips) for a couple bucks more. Great prices considering the location 🏙

“Food was delicious!”

Food was delicious!! Around this area, you will never find quality and quantity for such a reasonable price. I went for lunch and ordered Lasagna which came with house salad and bread which was super fresh and tasty. I would definitely recommend this place and will try other food items in future. It was a takeout order, and noticed place was almost full.

“I don’t really have anything bad to say about Avanti Caffe.”

I don’t really have anything bad to say about Avanti Caffe. It’s an all around great place to dine. We were looking for a quick bite to eat while we waited for our event to start. Nice cozy place with great service. Everyone in our party sat around and talked and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food and walked out quite fool. I had the meatball sub and it was fantastic. I couldn’t even finish the entire sandwich. The prices are really affordable especially given the location. A friend of mine ordered the chocolate mousse and she shared a bite with me. Wow it was good.

“This place is amazing.”

This place is amazing! The reviews are very accurate. The food is wonderful and the service is speedy. Four of us ate lunch for under $20 (pizza slices and soup), which is amazing in the loop.

“Seems to be a downtown favorite.”

Seems to be a downtown favorite. Decent crowd. Great options. I ordered the panini and mocha ice coffee. Both were good. It was my first time. I’d go back when in that downtown area.

It was decent coffee and cannolis to go! Nothing spectacular but good nonetheless!

“Super fun little stop for lunch.”

Super fun little stop for lunch. Soup; pasta fagioli and minestrone, veggie frittata, cannoli and a bottle of san pellegrino. Staff was super friendly, restaurant was clean. Not busy at 1:45pm on a Wednesday during spring break. Right in the midst of the financial district of Chicago. Easy to walk to from our hotel. Would recommend for a quick bite to eat.

“An okay little shop to get a coffee.”

An okay little shop to get a coffee. There were a lot of options but they all looked “old” or stale. The coffee was good—. Ot overly sweet.
