I first went to this restaurant with a mentor from university along with the other students that were being mentored. I liked it so much that I asked my parents to take me again. We have since been on several occasions the most recent being for my 18th Birthday.
My mam, dad, my best friend Emma and I, met my older sister, Joanne and her husband Craig, at Avanti on Friday night. We booked a table for 7pm ready for my birthday celebration! Joanne and Craig arrived a little earlier than us (6.40pm) and were already at our table when we arrived.
I love Italian food and I always have the same whenever I go (Minestrone Soup followed by Spaghetti Bolognese!)
When translated into English, Avanti means welcome or come in. Avanti opened in 1999 and it has established itself as one of the best restaurants in Newcastle. It is a family run ...
Advantages: Great Setting, Close to Airport, First Class Food, Very Clean, Wonderful! Disadvantages: None that I can think of!
For those of you that don?t know I?m at University and one of the perks (along with student debt, economy food and lack of clean housing) is exams! How my mum can ever say she enjoyed them I really don?t know! Now I?ve spent the past 4 hours sat at a desk trying my hardest to concentrate but my brain just isn?t haven?t it and I?d say I?ve spent about 3 of those 4 hours daydreaming and remembering more fun times! So I?m going to tell you all about my heavenly summer holiday last year on the Greek Island of Kos ? just to remind myself how depressed revision actually makes me!
Last summer me and my boyfriend happened to find ourselves outside the First Choice Holiday Hypermarket in our home town ? totally by accident, it just happens to be located opposite our local Pizza Hut restaurant and we decided to have a wonder in. Fast forward ...
Advantages: breeze keeps you cool, you don't notice the intense heat Disadvantages: watch you don't burn, the wind is deceptive: use you sun cream more often. IT IS HOT in KOS
Did I say breeze? Do you know, I didn?t realize how strong the wind would be ? you know, the wind that blows throughout the summer months amongst the islands of the Dodecanese. As I write, I am sat out on the balcony of my apartment on the island of Kos. We have just berthed in the harbor at Kardamena and, today the wind is blowing fierce and strong. Unbelievably, fierce as the wind is, it caresses the skin like velvet ? despite its power! The sky is an intense baby blue, without so much as a hint of a cloud and the temperature is building as the morning progresses. Yesterday was an intense 32o C ? and I have great hopes that the temperatures today will match that with ease.
Yesterday we were moored off a beach near San Antonio. It wasn?t a harbor ? more a deep inlet set amongst volcanic rocks. The inlet?s waters were quite calm ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Kos (Greece)
The Avanti restaurant situated directly across the road from the beach, is open from breakfast through to dinner. Avanti offers traditional Italian cuisine with home made pizzas straight from the wood fired oven. We offer the best coffee, along with a selection of home made savory crepes and a variety of waffles and cakes served all day.
