I was there this past Thursday with six friends (so, total party of seven.) The food was delicious, the service was great & they did a fantastic job of handling a big group like ours. The prices are fair & the overall vibe was so friendly. I forgot to get a pic of their stuffed artichoke but it’s amazing! As good as my grams (if that’s your thing of course.) We also ordered the hot antipasto appy & the portobello mushroom appy (which I would absolutely order again next time!) They give you a complimentary salad, & the dinner portions were HUGE. All in all a super awesome little “hidden gem.” Also, I’d like to add that they were very accommodating regarding honoring gluten free requests!

Very good BYOB Italian restaurant in a small strip mall in Elmwood Park. I had the gnocchi chicken cacciatore and apple crumb pie ala mode for desert. Both were very good.
Service was excellent and there is plenty of free parking.

The juiciest, most tender chicken I've ever had! The stuffed artichoke and tartufo was absolutely incredible! Excellent service as well. Will definitely be coming again!

They are so accommodating with delicious appetizers, entries, and Darlenes cheesecake and Stephen's osso Bucco.
I always can't believe that such a local place is so good.
I have hosted 30 people. They know how to do it!!

Had a fabulous dinner on a recent Sunday evening. Several specials offered in addition to the regular menu. Eggplant rollatini and pasta with vodka sauce are always delicious, and seafood entrees are especially good (always fresh and portions are generous). Our server, Edward, was attentive, friendly, and helpful. One of our favorite casual neighborhood restaurants. Highly recommend.

Cute place. BYOB but i ordered by phone for pick up. The vodka sauce on the ravioli was delicious I just wish the pasta was warm. I picked it up when they told me and the cheese was already hardened if that makes sense. I live 4 minutes away. I also ordered the Antipasta for 2. Clams oreganata were delicious would order again 100%. Clams casino was okay. Calamari was delicious, plenty of sauce on the side. Eggplant rollatini was not consistent. One had some filling the other had none but definitely not enough. Good size side salad with huge piece of soft italian bread. Would try again a different pasta.
Great food there and i will always go back there and tell everyone I know when they come go there I give them all stars owner give me a call it's

Translated from the Italian literally “to the tooth," it describes pasta that is cooked to be firm to the bite. Located at the Marketplace of Elmwood Park strip mall off of Market Street, my partner and I made a return trip after two years to Al Dente for an early dinner tonight. Reservations were easily made by calling the establishment at the spur of the moment. Greeted by the staff upon entering, the patrons seemed to be enjoying their dinners and were seated promptly by the window. The menu featured typical Italian cuisine with appetizers, salads, pastas, chicken, fish, and veal dishes, as well as a special menu. We decided on their specials and got their homemade spinach and ricotta ravioli with blackened julienne chicken in Alfredo sauce and homemade fettuccine with chopped shrimp and sweet Italian sausage in a vodka pink sauce with shaved provolone. Our meal came with a side salad. Complimentary warm bread accompanied by butter started our meal. Food was always made with fresh ingredients, just the right amount of spice, and unbelievably delicious. Portions were just right. They offer a dessert, but we had no room to even try to have any. The service was excellent and accommodating, and the whole wait staff worked in tandem with each other. The price is comparable to the area, and BYOB adds to the value of the dinner. We continue to recommend it to anyone who either loves genuine Italian food or actually knows what genuine Italian food is supposed to be.
