  So, it is hard to understand how Pasta Avanti does not get five star reviews from everyone. This is a great treasure that makes the best chicken marsala and eggplant Parmesan anywhere. While the salads may be small, they're fresh and tasty. This is a great find and a wonderful restaurant with very limited hours. I heartily recommend Pasta Avanti but you have to know what to order. You cannot go wrong with the pizza, the eggplant, or the chicken marsala. Truly a good restaurant

  Horrible server
  The owner had to get up and ask what was the problem
  Probably because its 30 min to closing on a Friday night
  If someone is allergic to red sauce and requested for Alfredo which they sell . The server said we cannot do that. Obviously they are more concern about the inconvenient it would cause the cook than the customer and our business !

  Homemade spumoni Ice cream in El Paso would be the main reason to visit this place.
  Atmosphere is calm and quiet with splashes of Italy decor. Wine glass candles with the traditional basket cover on bottom with wax overlay.
  I had the combo eggplant and chicken parmigiana it was plenty to share. My only wish was that it had a side of spaghetti. My waiter should have up sold me on it.
  Husband had the tower an olive oil pasta toss that was yummy. And I would recommend his over mine
  Next time sticking with the specialties since it comes with side salad and side of spaghetti.

  Italian in El Paso.  Pasta Avanti like so many of the smaller restaurants here resides in a strip mall it's at the back corner of the mall. Inside they have done nice job of reproduction of the quintessential stereotypical Italian eateries. Service is fast with a smile . Came for dinner and ordered the spaghetti with meatballs and meat sauce. I like you can choose marinara or meat sauce. I'm a meat head. I consider spaghetti the plankton of the Italian sea.  Other customers seem to be locals and upper aged at least tonight. To me that's a good sign. Elders are not given enough credit!  Food came and piping hot so carful.  Noodles were cooked well and meatballs were very tender.  Nice size portion of tasty goodness!  if I had to pick on them just a bit I think the garlic and basil could use a boost in the sauce and meatballs.  Dont take me wrong it was delicious.  They passed the "sniff test" on the basic.  Look forward to returning and trying some of their more complex dishes.  Great Italian restaurant with wonderful staff and family friendly crowd.  Great job Pasta Avanti!!

  Took over an hour to get my food.  The service is terrible there and the food isn't much better.   I got pizza and the sauce was like ketchup.  Gross.
