Ordered delivery through UberEats for the first time due to good reviews. Service and delivery was very fast. However, the food, not good at all. I ordered a Margherita pizza that was supposed to have fresh mozzarella and basil. The dough and crust were so thick that I thought it was breadsticks from the $.99 cent store.. but even worse. The cheese was more akin to American processed cheese than fresh mozz. Only redeeming dish I had was the Fish Francese. Chicken Parm: bad. Eggplant Rollatine: bad. Calamari: decent. Sorry, but I would never order from here ever again.

Excellent menu choices, I particularly love the Halibut and risotto option. I’ve also hosted 2 baptisms in the private party room, they’ve customized the menus for my parties. I couldn’t be more happy with the excellent service and delicious food! I highly recommend Dante’s.

The space is cozy, we were very well received! The employees are polite and kind! I ate lobster ravioli and I can say, it was one of the best dishes I’ve ever eaten, it was delicious.

Unfortunately, we did not have a very good experience. It was my wife’s birthday, and they could not do everything more wrong. Not only the waiter and the manager were helping themselves to a drink on the job, the waiter did not put my wife’s dinner order in and talked her into a replacement meal that was the quickest to make but not very good tasting; we had no choice but to send it back and my wife ended up with no dinner at all due to, by that time, timing. We did not complain and ordered desserts, and they managed not to put any silverware for specifically her dessert, which, if it was an isolated thing that evening, was not a big deal. On top of everything, they overcharged us for the items we did not even order. They corrected the bill, and we still left the very undeserving tip with no complaints, but this was most definitely the last time going there or referring anyone; they lost us at having a drink on the job.

Excellent food!! Great selection. My wife and I love seafood and we were not disappointed. The cannoli I had for dessert was one of the best I’ve ever had. Prices are typical of a quality Italian restaurant but you most definitely get what you pay for. BYOB saves a bundle. I highly recommend Dante’s.

Dante’s food was awesome. The owner and staff were super friendly and accommodating. We will definitely travel again from Brooklyn just to come back for the food and hospitality. By the way it’s a BYOB spot.

Went here last night and we were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food given our previous tries at other places in the area. This is a solid Italian-American restaurant. Place was clean, staff was attentive and the food was fresh. I especially enjoyed their sorbetto, not many places get sorbetto right and this was excellent.

Had their private dining room in the back, and it was great. The women who took care of me made great suggestions, and all the food we picked was delicious. Was able to bring our own wine in which was great. Fantastic price for what you are getting. No one rushed us out the door or chased me down to pay. Everything went at a nice pace, and I felt we had adequate time to spend there. The bill was broken down and easy to read. Would highly recommend having your next gathering here.
