recently moved to Brantford and made our first visit 9/27/24 for dinner. Super friendly and courteous service, excellent food all homemade. left with takeaway boxes as the portions were so generous. Great value and not overpriced. Will be returning soon.

Al Dente is a restaurant that offers a delightful dining experience with delicious pastas and pizza. The staff is friendly, accommodating, and provides great service, ensuring guests feel welcomed and comfortable. The menu features a variety of options, including the popular Buffalo chicken pizza, lasagna, and arancini balls, all of which are highly recommended. Guests love the creamy lasagna, which has been described as the best in a long time. The food is served hot and in good timing, often accompanied by complimentary warm bread and a slice of cheesecake to go. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with a charming patio under grape vines that creates a lovely outdoor space reminiscent of beautiful patios outside of Europe. Guests can enjoy warm bread with a pot of marinara sauce that is hard to resist. The dressing on the Greek salad is one of the best ever, and the steak, such as the strip loin cooked medium/rare, is perfect and served with fresh vegetables. The restaurant also offers gluten-free pasta primavera with shrimp, though some reviews mention the shrimp's freshness could be better. Additionally, a full plant-based menu has been created, featuring dishes like baked ziti and vegan pizza options that guests adore. The outdoor patio, under a large canopy of grape vines, provides a romantic setting. The service is attentive and friendly, with staff knowledgeable about the menu. The food is served in generous portions, and the atmosphere is cozy with music at the right volume for easy conversation. Whether for a casual meal or a special occasion, Al Dente remains a favorite spot that guests enjoy returning to again and again.
