Additional Information
I'm an Italian food lover! Wanted to try some real "home made" Italian food ... Very disappointing experience, not sure how long... this place will survive open, was empty, first red flag but let's give it a try, I ordered shrimp linguine a la vodka, myhusband chicken Marsala kids chicken fingers Chicken fingers looked like they're made in the air frier, chicken Marsala wasgrilled chicken breast with WHITE mushroom sauce on top...was not good at all. My plate was alright nothing special. We didn'tcomplain, barely ate, pay the bill left tip and left, we felt bad saying something there but I had to come and give a reviewhoping either the restaurant steps up it's game or warn a family who's looking for a nice weekend dinner at a restaurant, thisone would not be the choice.

Food was average and service poor. Unfortunately understaffed the night we went. It took 30 min to get some bread after asking... for it (which is complementary). The water came for a 2nd round only when we were leaving. Maybe will try their pizza only nexttime. It seems the most popular ! Read more
Al dente was a great experience from start to finish! The ambience in there is lovely! Nice and romantic so great for a date... night! I was able to park with ease. Food- I cannot complain! I got the lasagna and cauliflower, and my friend got one of thepasta and I believe fried zucchini. I forget the cocktails we got both both were fantastic! I would definitely go back again!Server was kind as well and they were always clearing off the dirty dishes. I also love a place that comes with bread :) Read more
Very professional, attending, and DELICIOUS. Great place for fine dinning. They really tried to make an effort in offering fine... dining experiences to their take-out customers. Read more

Service was fantastic. Appetizers were pretty good -- meatballs had a good sauce, but were a little dry; zucchini flowers were... tender but under seasoned; eggplant app was ok but didn't stand out. My gnocchi dish was average, but my wife's Mezzi Rigatoniwas very good. However, I was extremely disappointed in the desserts. All of the desserts were 1-star for me (and we tried 4different ones in our group). Go to Al Dente for the pasta and service and go elsewhere for dessert. Read more
