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

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!

Nice quiet atmosphere, the service was good, the lady was attentive and super friendly. The food was good, let me tell you, the Caesar salad lacked dressing big time, and the chicken francese was soupy - though the flavor was there, it was too much liquid. The bread was spot on :) I would come back
