    Amazing food! We come here often and it never disappoints. The service is on point, and the place is so charming. I had the rock fish and it was simply delicious.

    We thoroughly enjoyed dinner - from the warm breads to the delicious appetizers lightly fried calamari and mussels perfectly prepared to the ravioli and, the best pappardelle with cinghiale this side of Tuscany! It's a lovely place for a special meal - attentive service, lovely ambiance and perfectly prepared food. We look forward to our return because there were so many choices left to be tasted!

    Sometimes Dante's great. Sometimes just good. Tonight was a mix of good and not edible. Crab tower was good, though somewhat flavorless. Caesar salad and beet salads were not edible. Ossubucco was good. Salmon wrapped in prosciutto was way too salty. Veggies were onions and peppers. Yuk. Beautiful place to have dinner. If you can stomach the food.

    Loved it! I was raised in an Italian family, so I'm naturally critical of "Italian" restaurant food. Dante serves up authentic dishes with simple prep, excellent service, and very reasonable prices. We will definitely be back. 😊

    This was a birthday celebration dinner for a family of 8. Dante gave us a separate room and outfitted it with a square table, so everyone could see everyone else - 4 couples on a 4-sided table, worked wonderfully. Victoria was amazing - engaging, knowledgeable , and perfect … probably the best server I’ve ever encountered. She was getting hugs from the family as we left. Simply wonderful all around
