    We have been patrons since 1989. Never anything but a highly satisfying experience. It feels like coming home.

    Another great night at Dante’s! We sat outside near the fountain and listened to the jazz band and the weather was perfect. We had the rockfish with crab which is always fantastic. We paired it with a nice Barolo which was silky smooth and perfect. Such a great place and we will definitely be back.

    We eat at Dante frequently and every dining experience has been exceptional. Only superlative comments for the cuisine, service, and ambiance. We treated several family members this past Friday. Their reactions: this restaurant is special.

    This is a beautiful restaurant with delicious food and attentive staff. We had the bolognese as a pasta course and it was flavorful and satisfying. The tiramisu for dessert was heavenly. Starting the meal with their warm bread and olive oil and home made focaccia perfectly complemented a delicious Italian wine and the Aperol Spritz. The lamb main course was perfectly seasoned and grilled . The garden fountain is lit at night and creates a romantic atmosphere. Eating outdoors on a perfect summer evening brought to mind our favorite times in Italy. We will be back:)

    We dined outside and the atmosphere was very relaxing. The homemade pasta dishes, calamari and veal Marsala were wonderful

    From the moment you arrive you feel like you’re at a family restaurant in Italy. It’s very welcoming and warm. Food was excellent. Staff very friendly and most helpful.

    I was quite disappointed to wait over an hour for my food, but I was trying to be understanding since it was the night before Mother’s Day. We got little explanation as to what the delay was and very little in the way of an apology. When I worked in a restaurant, if anything like that happened the server or the manager would make a visit to the table and square things away or offer a small item such as a dessert or something.

    We love dinging on the patio at Dante’s. Unfortunately, they were very understaffed and service was disappointing.

    Great food and lovely ambiance with a string quartet playing in the courtyard. the food was excellent as well although we had to wait quite a bit and the service was a bit off as they didn't know what table to serve what order to. wasn't that crowded so not sure why that happened but we enjoyed the food and the evening very much and will go back again in the future. very reasonable as well.
