We love the fillet of flounder sandwich as well as the fried chicken sandwich we asked for french fries to be cooked crispy and they absolutely were. Carrie is a great server. We look forward to coming back soon.

It’s worth a trip to Lancaster just to have dinner at Osteria Avanti . The dinning room is fairly small with an intimate feel. There is also a separate bar area which also serves food. The dishes are well prepared. The vegetables and meat are excellent and well prepared. The service is exceptional, attentive without being intrusive. I would highly recommend Osteria Avanti.

We always enjoy eating at Funck’s. Our service was great. The food was very good. I just wish the lobster tacos came with a side of something. Tortilla chips would have been great to add some crunch and interest.
