“Absolutely. Here’s a strong Google review: 5 Stars Al Dente’s is hands down the best Italian food in town. This is a hardworking, family-owned restaurant, and you can feel that in everything they do. The food is always fresh, delicious, and made with care. They have also taken amazing care of us at our Christmas party, and everything was perfect. Great food, great service, and a team that truly cares about their customers. If you want real Italian food and a place that treats you like family, Al Dente’s is it. Highly recommend!”
“We tried all of the appetizers the other night and they were all a hit. One our families favorites though was the garlic shrimp and then dipping the bread in the sauce! Great bar staff and drinks as well. All of the servers and staff were friendly and attentive.”
“In my experiences, Italian restaurants are a dime a dozen. But once in a while, you find that diamond in the rough and this place IS IT! From the moment we walked in to paying the bill, the staff was phenomenal. They were friendly, accommodating, informative, suggestive, and it was an all around fantastic experience. I had the Gnocchi with pink sauce and added blackened chicken. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and grilled. The gnocchi was sooo good. The Seafood Rissotto was amazing - just the right amount of sauces and flavors to not be overdone but full, complete, and complementary. The drinks were amazing, especially the pistachio martini. Some of the best calamari I've eaten - lightly breaded and fried, not rubbery or chewy. And the bruschetta was also great, including the presentation. Overall, top notch experience, mouthwatering food, and absolutely wonderful service. HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended!”
“A group of friends met for lunch at Al Dente's. From the moment we entered we felt welcomed. Our waiter was friendly and patient. The food was the best I've had in years! The bread tasted homemade and fresh. Everyone loved their meals! Highly recommend this restaurant!”
“I made a reservation ahead of time and mentioned that we had a special event, my wife's birthday. We were seated promptly and it seemed that they were just winding down from happy hour and the early dinner rush. The table seating was a bit awkward or crammed but we made due. We were handed off between people and asked several times for a kids menu only to find out they did not have one? Our waitress let us know verbally what was available for the 6 year old. There was some confusion as to which wines could be sampled. We ordered some wine samples and blackened fish bites for an appetizer. The fish bites and the sauce were great, very tasty. We then ordered our food and this is where our evening shined. I think that each of us were only able to eat half of our dishes due to the generous portions. I had beef medallions over pasta and might I say they were done wonderfully. The food is amazing. Even the spaghetti with a meatball for our 6 year old grandson was great! We will definitely go back again, perhaps at a different time. The other bummer was although I included the special occasion on my reservation, no mention was made of it while we were there. I did not ask about it and we just pressed on. The food is worth the trip.”
