   We ate outside and the noise from a table with a large group of women were noisy and as the evening continued they got louder. What would they have inside!😝The wait staff is extraordinary! I was so grateful for their service, always there when needed!

   The lighting under the white ceiling is too bright. Acoustic ceiling tiles or some means of sound deadening is needed.

   Excellent food and outstanding service. The 20% surcharge is criminal. Other places charge 2.5% or not at all.

   We had a great table for our group of 7. The service was excellent by two employees who were helpful and very pleasant. They took wonderful care of us, especially the toddler we had with us! We all had pizzas and salads and they were delicious. Thank you Al Dente. You are our favorite spot when visiting our relatives in your neighborhood.

   The food was outstanding. I introduced a friend to the restaurant and she loved it. i ordered something I have had before: the veal scallopine and she had the pasta with seafood and loved it. She will definitely return and I come back a lot and live in the neighborhood.

   Went for "Happy Hour". Reasonably priced good house cabernet and rail margarita. Numerous salad, small plate, and large plate options. Very good food and excellent service.
