Excellent food and surroundings. Quality, well presented, not over facing portions. Interesting mix of Italian and Spanish dishes. Kirkby Lonsdale certainly gone up a few notches since my school days here!

Great food, great service! The pasta were delicious and the croquettes as well! I was a bit less of a fan of the garlic prawns just because I couldn’t taste the garlic flavour as much as I had hoped, but I definitely recommend going there and getting pasta!!

I booked a table for 12 people, at the Avanti, for a family celebration. I had to pre-order all of the meals in advance, which was not a problem. The day before our booking I had to cancel one place, so I rang the restaurant and cancelled the steak ordered for that person. All well so far. We sat upstairs, in a very nice dining area. Our waitress was a lovely young lady but, unfortunately, several of our meals were not so nice. The starters were probably the best part of the meal. The main courses left a lot to be desired. The first mistake made was to bring the steak that I had cancelled the day before. We had 3 adult pizzas of different sorts and one child's pizza. Not one person, including my 2 year old grandson, was able to eat the pizza. Everyone complained that they were far too salty to eat and they all left their main course. I complained to our waitress, who was suitably apologetic, and arranged that we would not be charged for our deserts. I felt sorry for her as she was mortified, and, in retrospect, feel that someone more senior should have dealt with my complaint. I won't be going back.

During our trip to Yorkshire Dales National Park, we decided to have our dinner at Avanti restaurant. The starter was delightful, unfortunately the mains were not as good as the starter. The staff was polite, but they actually charged us for a sauce that we didn’t order, it was very disappointing.

Staff friendly but 2 out of three meals could have been better. Booked a low table but we were put on a high table. New potatoes were over cooked (grey) carrots over cooked with no taste. No salt, pepper or Parmesan offered. Pasta a bit dry. Think for price a few little changes would have made a big difference. Lovely and clean and nice outside area.
