Grilled Branzino was excellent, as were the pasta Bolognese, arugula salad & meatballs. The daily Happy Hour is a bargain. Nicole provided great service.

I think the salmon dinner was the was the worst meal I've ever been served. The potatoes with crabmeat looked like leftovers that were discovered in the back of the refrigerator and then someone said, “oh, let's mix these together so we can clear the refrigerator of old food”. Looked and tasted like prison food.

The pizzas were excellent. My wife is GF and she loved the linguini. The wine pairing worked well, too. Be aware that a 20% gratuity is included in the bill. That's no problem for us because we always tip at least that much, but we haven't seen that before for a small party and had to check. The service was certainly well worth the tip, though, and we will be returning to try more menu items.

Al Dente has the best pizza I've ever tried! In addition to the varied menu and wines. Yes, they charge an additional fee, but the price of the dishes is worth it and they also have a Happy Hour promotion. I recommend it!

Al Dente is one of our favorite restaurants. We enjoyed a big family lunch and had great service and delicious food!

What a great spot!? I came here for an early happy hour. The pizzas are on that HH list. You don't usually have happy hour on pizzas, so count me in. The fromaggi was delightful. Their mixed drinks and white sangria were also so amazing. Our server, Marlo, was speedy and professional. Everything from the timeliness, food, seating, service, and dranks were all superb.

Warning: If you come here, you are forced to pay a 20% fee no matter how good or bad the service is. No matter what, you are charged a 20% fee on top of your check. If you ask why, their explanation is nonsensical, illogic. It just makes no sense. My question is, why are you charging me something I do not owe you? I only owe you what I ordered and ate, and a tip if I want. I just don't see why a 20% fee is forced on me and for what reasons. Will never go back here, where they charge customers just for being there.

The food was good and our server was attentive. The owner or manager was outside smoking despite a no smoking sign. The only thing that bothered me was that we were forced to pay a 20% service fee. I asked them to take it off but they refused. I’ve never been somewhere that forces you to pay a service fee. I don’t have a problem with a lower service fee but 20% makes it impossible to leave an additional tip for the server. I can’t pay an extra 40% on my already $85 bill. That is ridiculous. On their menu, it says the service fee is not a tip and tips are not expected but appreciated. I wouldn’t have gone to this restaurant if I had known about the service fee. It was absolutely ridiculous they wouldn’t take it off our bill.

The food was super good and they have a great happy hour. The owner was smoking at the table by us despite there being a no smoking sign. We were forced to pay a 20% service fee. I asked to have to removed but the server said he couldn't. I have never seen a service fee that high.
Love the pizza and cannoli!!! Great place for a romantic date or just for low key happy hour.

AL DENTE, For a,moment I think that I will try the true Italian cuisine, just walk inn the restaurant was empty and waiters concentrated on their phones , and just asking the Chef he he was present if they have any fresh sea food, he just ignore me and walk away, i do understand why the restaurant with this great atmosphere was empty !!!!!! Cuisine is not all about cooking, but is hospitality and good care of costumer .. never back and I don't advice anyone to try it

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.

We had 9 people at dinner. The food & the service was excellent. Pizzas were cooked perfectly. The chicken parm was tender & tasty, & the lasagna was wonderful. A go to restaurant.
