Haven’t yet tried the Roman-style breakfast pizzas topped with fried eggs, but I plan to. Very soon. Pizzeria Avanti’s breakfast window of opportunity runs from Friday through Monday, and dinner of course happens nightly. Living on the Westside does have its perks.

We split this salad of crisp Bloomsdale spinach, pancetta, egg, sherry vinaigrette and shaves of Parmesan Reggiano, at Pizzeria Avanti last Friday.
And then we had a splendid pizza topped with arugula and prosciutto.
With glasses of Spanish garnacha. All better than good.
P.A. has added a nightly special pasta in addition to its lasagna, and plenty of inventive salads to accompany its salume plates and signature pizzas. All way better than good.

Mt. Lassen trout on a bean ragout—even better than it looks.
Avanti for lunch. A delicious idea.

Avanti owner Paul Geise admits that long-time customers are getting restless about making sure they dine at the familiar landmark Ristorante Avanti at least once more before it closes. “But that won’t happen until next year,” the owner admitted. “There’s just so much to do and everything takes more time than you think.”
So yes you will be able to dine at the familiar Avanti space throughout the holidays. Geise projects a possible February opening for the new location. “But we won’t close this restaurant until the new one is open.”

A salad of trout, crisp skin/moist flesh, on a bed of green garlic, infant diced green beans, dry-farmed tomatoes and mixed shelling beans.
Too good.
