Had dinner here last night. This was our second time there. The first time was great, but this time also didn’t disappoint. The food was very tasty, better than some of the other Italian Food options in the area. I had their baked salmon that’s accompanied with a few lobster raviolis and lobster pieces on top. The salmon was perfectly cooked, seasoned well, and very tasty. My wife’s blackened chicken Alfredo was also spot on, and my daughter thoroughly enjoyed her carbonara. Not sure why it took us almost a year to come back here. Definitely need to get it back on a more regular rotation. Highly recommended.

This is our third visit to Al Dente’s and I’m giving it a sold 3 stars. The food and service seem to be quite inconsistent. I ordered the lasagna, and it was drenched in sauce. I also a noticed a lack of ricotta cheese and a mound of

Ate here two days in a row and both times were great. Had lunch with a friend first and we both ordered Shrimp and Lobster risotto. We both loved it. Generous portion with big shrimps and quite a bit lobster chunks for only $17. Creamy and full of flavor. I loved it so much so the next day I brought family here again. We had bruschetta all the way. Ordered the Seafood Risotto, which is the dinner version of the lunch I had but with mussels and scallops. Tasted great again! My half Roasted Duck was also good, but l loved the risotto more. Hubby had braised short ribs, cooked perfectly and the portion was huge! Prices are very reasonable given the quality of the food and portion size. They serve complementary bread and olive oil dip, which a lot of restaurants stopped doing after the pandemic. So glad that we have a great Italian restaurant on 210.

First time there our server was a terrible fail. Manager asked we give them another chance, so tonight with visiting family we did. They were EXCELLENT!!! The food and service were amazing. Lasagna was teaming with meat, the veal was cooked to perfection, and the pasta “Al Dente” perfect. Kyle, our server is a gem. He took care of us like family. So glad we gave them a second chance and did not go with our first impression. Highly recommend!!!

Really impressed with our experience here. Everything was delicious. I got the veal saltimbocca and my wife got Mediterranean chicken. Both were hefty portions, hot and fresh. Only negative I can think of is the entrees were a little slow to come out but we had plenty of warm bread and appetizers

We really enjoyed a birthday dinner at Al Dente. The Happy hour is strong with good deals on whatever you drink and half off apps. We got the antipasto which was great. Pics are of the calabrese with linguine, penne and broccoli, chicken picatta and lobster ravioli. The food was very good and the portions were large. The best part was Karen who was our server and really took care of us. This was our first time but not our last. Recommend.

Lunched with a friend. Tables only 1/4 full, so quiet and private. Very friendly and helpful waitstaff (Candace). Delicious special Cod lunch; I took most of the fettuccine home, as the fish portion was generous. So good!
