    The staff was great. Very attentive service and sincere concern for ensuring an excellent dining experience. Family type atmosphere. Food was incredible; very authentic Italian preparation and presentation. The Zuppa de Pesce is the best I’ve had in a long time. Portions are very generous. This was our first time and we will definitely be back.

    Food was very good. Wait staff very disorganized and not very attentive. We asked for a spoon and a glass of coke and received neither. Observed a number of guests waiting extraordinary periods of time for their check payments to be picked up. Place was cold and no hot water in bathrooms. A shame as the food was really good .

    Its in the details. Food was excellent. Portion’s generous. Service is the issue. Staff was pleasant but inattentive and under educated. Server did not know what dressing came with chopped salad and did not know what osso bucco ravioli was. We waited at least 20 minutes after completing our main course to get a desert menu. The glass top table was soaked with condensation from our beverage glasses, tablecloth or coasters please. The ravioli was very good, but a teaspoon more filling would have made it excellent. The tiramisu was different and possibly the best we have ever had, including that in Rome. A bit more attention to details elevates this restaurant to one of the absolute best.

    They have both an indoor and outdoor space. We chose indoors. It was very quiet which we liked. Only 1 waitress, and she forgot my sons’ espresso but then comped it, so, win-win! We will definitely go back for the veal parm and meatballs appetizer! They do charge extra for using Amex - don’t like that.

    This place has been in our town for decades and has had its ups and downs regarding food prep and quality. Decor was always lovely. This last visit proved that the kitchen is back to producing excellent meals. But what happened to the decor??? Black carpet and black tabletops, diner style? The menus we were handed were not what they once were- an indication of serious and delicious food presentation, but rather what one would be handed in a coffee shop. Step up your game Dante’s and bring back the good looking menus and table cloths. Take back your pride with your former ambiance! Your food is worthy of that much.

    We have always had good food and service in the past. However this time, the staff was a bunch of kids with no respect or a sense of timing. The place was not crowded so there was no excuse to ignore us all night. The food was also below average compared to other times we ate there.
