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 .
Butternut squash ravioli were very good! Chicken Marsala was very good too! Nice menu and fair prices.
Dante's is a great neighborhood restaurant . Food is consistently good & staff is very attentive. The quality of food for the price Is worth the visit.
Great place!

The food is so so, but probably we are from NYC, we may have a higher standard. Considering not many restaurants around here.

The food is consistently great and the staff is very friendly, but bring a appetite because even going there hungry you'll be enjoying leftovers the next day.

Fabulous food. Honestly don’t think there are many restaurants who can beat the food quality. If you haven’t tried it, you should.
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.

Food was unremarkable, not bad, not good. Service was bad. The place could use some remodeling. Not going back. Apparently take out pizza is good, maybe I’ll try that.

Took Mom out for dinner. Decided on Dante's cause another place was closed. Very glad they were! Parking was easy in the lot. Nice place. Clean and welcoming. Staff was friendly, helpful, and attentive.
Food was excellent!! Apps, Zupa Di Pesce, Parpadelle all excellent! We would certainly recommend going to Dante's if you have not already. They are now on our short list to go back.

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.
Our family discovered Dante's in 1993. Tommy and I enjoy going for dinner, but our family has catered so many parties there; most recently our granddaughter Aria's Christening on 2/17/24. We have catered our younger daughter Alex's communion, our Michelle's bridal shower, my Mom's 90th birthday and my 65th birthday there three years ago. Lisa has always gone above and beyond, and especially working w/Michelle who lives out of state; making Aria's christening perfect! We can't thank her and her staff enough for making my granddaughter's Christening fabulous on Saturday! The Vitale and Nolan Families
