![]() Avanti Cafe Restaurant Review: Located in a strip mall off hip 17th Street in Costa Mesa, this small space packs a punch when it comes to local, organic and seasonal ingredients; Mediterranean-inspired dishes; and refreshing cocktails, wines and microbrew beers. If you are in a hurry, the cold deli items are ready-to-go treats for lunch, dinner and dessert. Some come to order up a “sampler” of these, like an Italian-esque pasta with tofu or a corn-and-cheddar macaroni dish. Some come to Avanti for the delectable pizzas, which are handmade and feature ingredients such as organic mozzarella, South Coast Farms basil and cold-pressed olive oil from Greece or Italy. We also recommend the daily selection of pies, cakes and cookies made by chef Tanya Fuqua, which generally tend to reflect seasonal fruits and classic American and European dishes transformed into healthy after-meal treats. When the weather turns warm, eat in or take out the seasonal ice creams and sorbets such as blackberry-balsamic or pineapple-chocolate. |
