Best Restaurants with a Wood Oven in Downers Grove

Wonderful evening with great food, great service and wonderful entertainment!!

Great experience - local-feeling restaurant with great food and terrific staff who made us feel very welcome.

The atmosphere is great- even crowded you can sit in a booth and have a more private space. The food is really good and creative. The staff were very helpful.

The restaurant has a very good menu, with many good choices. The service was very good. The ambiance was decent. IT was quiet when we arrived and they had nice music playing. As the restaurant filled in while we were there, the noise level increased and you could not hear the music. But overall, it was a good first experience and we will return in the future!!

I’ve been to Avanzare before, but my guests were here for the first time. Sunday evening and a table for 5 (3 adults and 2 children). Everyone enjoyed the experience. Our waiter was accommodating, answered questions about food preparations, suggested dessert. We ordered fish, lamb, and pasta meals that were perfection off of the ‘specials’ menu. The zucchini blossoms were new to all of us and wow, were they delicious. I know I’ll return another time, and I’m certain that my family will be returning as well.
