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.
First time customer and a forever one now. Part of my order was forgotten, A wonderful staff member personally insisted to drive it across town to my house as well as a little extra piece of dessert .
Dinner was delicious and service was beyond what I would expect !

I've been on a keto diet for about 6 years so its been a bit longer than that since I've been to Al Dente. I remember loving the lasagna so much. In the past few months I've moved away from the keto diet to low carb but occasionally treat my self. So I thought I'd go back and have my favorite lasagna. I have to say it was not very good. The pasta was dried out and crusty. No meat in the lasagna to speak of. Tasted like I was eating a can of chef boyar d. The service was fine....read full review

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.
