I occasionally travel through Hendersonville and always have to stop and have a real home cooked meal. Charlie is always friendly and personable. The food is outstanding and the atmosphere homey. You can not get a better meal or value. The place is awesome. Real NY style cooking.
Finally a real Italian Restaurant the serves superb italian food, along with a variety of other great food selections.
Keep up the great work!!!
When we are not on the road we often stay at home and enjoy our families. That said it takes a special brand of restaurant to draw us out from our cherished time off. Avanti’s is that kind of restaurant.
We love the food! We love the friendly chats with head chef Charley. The food is so much more...
How do you explain excellence in cuisine? Avanti’s is a breath of fresh air for this Boston raised girl and this California guy. We have travel the world and have tasted the best meals money can buy. Charley and his staff have all the ingredients for the best Italian food in the nation. It is more t...
This restaurant is a gem. What an amazing find in our little town. Charlie's menu selection is well rounded, his food is great and he comes out to talk with you and make you feel welcome.
While he has a lot of delicions italian dishes, the hamburgers are melt in your mouth awesome and the fries a...
My wife and i moved back to Hendersonville about 3 months ago. She was the first to stop in and get Chicken soup one evening, it was great. She met the owner on that visit and mentioned he was a very nice and welcoming person. We went back the very next night and had a very nice dining experience. T...
Charlie has made an awesome NY style eatery experience. Christine is our favorite server. We eat here once a week. The Mozarella/tomato appetizer with balsalmic vinegrette is to die for. The meals are so fresh and authentic. We split a dessert each time. We can't find a favorite because we love t...
I had my first of many to come dining experiences on Feb 22, '08 and I was very please overall! The food, atmosphere, service and price are amazingly wonderful! You must visit.

This resturant by far is superior to the local area in Hendersonville, TN. My husband and I moved from NY a little over 3-yrs ago and have missed the finer NY dining lifestyle that we have come to grow accustomed to. Charlie who is from NY has brought the NY atmosphere in to TN, along with the fin...
We regualary visit Charlie's restorante' with our 9 children and are welcomed with open arms and great service! For the first time my wife and I had dinner on a date night and really enjoyed the quiet, comfortable atmosphere, great great quality and tasting food (seafood is great) and a wonderful w...
Avanti Gourmet has become one of our favorite places to go. The food is absolutely delicious, the service is outstanding, the staff is probably the friendliest folks I've had the pleasure of meeting in a long time, and they'll bend over backwards to make you happy. Don't see exactly what you want ...
Meal was comparable to, if not better than some of the excellant, smaller, individually owned eateries in the Southeast; i.e. La Dolce Vita in Hoover, Al., Johns in Trusville Al., The Buckhead Diner in Atlanta Ga. Extensive menu. Very gracious service and no need to be concerned about my appearance....
Once people start discovering Avanti Gourment Restaurant, Charlie will have to expand. The food is "ABSOLUETY GREAT". You will not be leaving hungrey!!!
You have not lived until you have had Charlies rolatini. It's better than great!!!!!!!!!!! TRACE and LYNN.
Amazing, amazing, amazing!!! If you have not yet had a meal at Avanti Gourmet, please plan on doing so very soon. Any item you select from the menu will be exquisite!!! Each time we dine there, Charlie stops by the table to chat for a moment and make sure we are more than pleased with the meal. W...
Avanti Gourment is my favorite place to eat. Charlie has created a wonderful place to relax and enjoy great food. He always comes over to check on us to see if everything is ok. It's better than ok, it's great. I highly reccommend this restaurant to everyone in Hendersonville and the surrounding ...
Avanti Gourmet has become a favorite of ours and we enjoy the food very much. You just never know what you might find in the display case that you just have to eat. Charlie is doing a great job and we are so glad to have this restaurant close to us.

My husband and I are food snobs, if you will. We've lived all over, including NY. The food selection, price, and quality is absolutely unbeatable - in all categories. This is exactly what this town needed! They also offer family-size meals to go. Just tell them how many people you need to serve. T...
