    Long wait, service that barely gave any attention, microwave quality food. Would not recommend. Also, incredibly expensive! I’ve paid less for 5 star meals.

    The service, the view of the Charles River, the glass of wine, the pasta, the 3-pie desert, the dining room—it was all perfect, thank you. The staff was friendly and attentive but not intrusive—perfectly perfect, in other words. My son and I enjoyed our experience.

    room is small (loud party inn adjoining room) paint chipped on wall next to table, no table cloths, seemed like what you would expect from a lunch restaurant not a dinner on Saturday night

    Dante is great for high end unique Italian food. Their pasta is really special and we loved the calamari and meatballs too. Nice views of the river and lots of free parking on the nearby streets.
