Reviews for Dante's Fire in Tucson, AZ

First off, Dante's is our go to place for escargot. They are so good we each got an order tonight. The best part of tonight was... the conversation with Josh. Additionally, I left my phone and Josh kept it safe for me. Great food, affordable and best of allan honest staff! Dear Dante's owner, take care of this gentleman! Read more

I went here after hearing about it on the radio and was absolutely blown away. The service was fantastic and the food was both... delicious and incredibly innovative. The menu takes the "do a few items very well" philosophy and it was a fantastic experience.We took the approach of asking the server to reccomend her favorite items and it worked a treat. The cucumber foam on top ofthe martini was a surprise and a delight. We had a deconstructed wellington, a flambe, a fancy grilled cheese, and a bananafoster. I cannot possibly reccomend this place highly enough. Read more

How the hell do you people justify your "Chef"? Food price does not reflect quality. I ordered a medium rare burger to go. The... burger was cooked medium well, the cheese was burned to a brittle crisp and only existed on the outside of the sandwich. The bunwas filled with grease yet somehow dry enough to resemble stale bread. Cajun fries are soggy and cold, cant taste any Cajunseasoning only heaps of garlic. (Update) I phoned the place and asked to speak to the Chef (whom somehow just won the Ironchef). Apparently that win went straight to his head. After I described my issue he remarked that nothing of my description everleft his kitchen and that I am totally and completely incorrect. After trying to explain to him his biggest mistake (ignoringdetailed complaints of bad food leaving the kitchen) he got very impatient and with a nasty tone says "if you want to come backin some time I'd love to speak with you and correct this". Could've happened if there wasn't a snide attitude but, the chanceswere already low. Anyone with a real passion for building a culinary spectacle would not have reacted the way he did. Not anhonorable guy, deserves the title of Line Cook. On the bright side my cucumber martini was very good, wonderful touch with thecucumber foam! Read more

This is the Tucson 2022 winner of the “Iron Chef” contest that was just held in August 2022. I can see why ! Chef Kenneth... Foy has created a wonderful dining experience with a casual atmosphere and amazing food and drink options. Start with a funadult beverage like the signature Cucumber Martini or Pineapple Whiskey Sour, and then dive into the fantastic entrees. We hadChicken Marsala and Pappardelle Diablo. Both were outstanding. I wish we had room for desert! Our server (Misty) was fast andfriendly! Overall, a great place for dinner any day of the week! VictorB Read more

So while the service was a little frustrating compared to our first time, the food was still delicious warranting the five star... review. I would recommend that there be hiring done for specific positions within the restaurant. Granted this is easy for me tosay because I'm not the business owner and I do not have the behind the scenes knowledge of what transpired staffing wise forthe day. All that said there is a reason the head chef won Tucson Iron Chef - highly recommend a visit. Read more

This was my first time at Dante's Fire; some friends brought me when I was visiting Tucson. The atmosphere was relaxed, our... waiter, Josh, was very sociable, as well as knowledgeable about the food offerings, beers and wines. We had the chorizo slidersas an appetizer, followed by the butternut squash salad and escargot. Everything was exceptional! I'll be sure to return when Iam again in Tucson. Read more

I've had good take out here before, but dining in tonight was another level. First things first, the cocktails are creative and... taste on point and the bread is a wonderful, fluffy promise of the food to come. I usually get the Monte Cristo because, comeon, just look at it. The sauce, the texture, and its surrounded by a moat of crisp, flavorful fries. Seriously, they're good astake out, but they shine just out of the fryer. Shout out to Josh, who was holding the whole place down by himself. Read more

Amazing experience! Service was excellent and the food was as sinfully delicious as the name suggests! Edit: I was in a food... coma after eating here and this was all I could muster but I had to rave! Now that I've recovered I'd like to detail how greatthey were. Their cocktails have fresh squeezed juices and purees and syrup. We ordered the escargot to start and they brought ahouse made bread and dip which was delicious. The escargot was actually good. We split the clam chowder which was made within-shell clams. The burger was the right texture and the flavor mixed well with the garlic fries. The dessert was a treatthough. An adult s'mores is rum flambeed in front of your eyes. The server was very friendly and happy to be there. She boastedabout the unique menu and hands-on ownership throughout the evening. The restaurant was clean and the atmosphere iscomfortable. We will definitely be returning to try more items! Read more
