Had a fantastic experience at Al Dente in Elmwood Park. This is a great neighborhood Italian restaurant with that warm, family-run feeling that makes a meal here feel much more personal.
The menu has a great selection of classic Italian dishes, from homemade pasta and ravioli to chicken, veal, seafood, and some really good appetizers. The portions are generous, the ingredients are fresh, and everything has that comforting, homemade quality you want from an Italian restaurant....read full review

Al Dente, located in the Marketplace of Elmwood Park strip mall, offers authentic Italian cuisine with a welcoming atmosphere. The menu features a variety of dishes, including homemade spinach and ricotta ravioli and fettuccine with shrimp and sausage in vodka pink sauce. The food is made with fresh ingredients and just the right amount of spice, served in generous portions. Customers enjoy dishes like gnocchi chicken cacciatore and appreciate the large portions, especially the hot antipasto appy and portobello mushroom appy, which they would order again. The restaurant is BYOB, adding to its appeal, and offers plenty of free parking. Service is consistently excellent, with friendly staff that handles large groups well and is accommodating to gluten-free requests. The homemade desserts, especially the Tiramisu and apple crumb pie ala mode, are highly recommended. The juiciest, most tender chicken and the incredible stuffed artichoke are among the highlights. Al Dente is a small, hidden gem that keeps customers returning for its delicious dishes and warm vibe.
