We sat outside. The outdoor patio is a great environment, especially on a nice summer evening. The jazz trio was excellent. I asked for a special item that used to be on the menu and the chef obliged. Food is always excellent and consistent. The staff is always friendly and does a great job.

This was our second visit and we were impressed yet again! The food is delicious (the gnocchi is a crowd favorite) and the serving staff is very polite and professional. I really appreciate the ambiance of the outdoor dining patio. We will definitely be back!

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.

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:)
