Review Summary

Al Dente Trattoria is praised for tasty pasta, welcoming staff, a calm atmosphere with good music, and a BYOB option that adds value. Some reviews note dry pizza and mozzarella that lacks flavor, and occasional gaps in utensils or service during busy times. A few comments suggest the concept is not authentically Italian, though many dishes such as rack of lamb, lobster pasta, and osso buco are highlighted as standout and a Valentine menu heart shaped pasta filled with ricotta and parmesan is described as delicious. The venue is also remembered for its nostalgic charm and affordable prices, making return visits likely for many guests.

We had some last minute people added to our group, & the place was already really busy. Every request was treated with a smile as if it was no trouble at all.
ALL of the food arrived for everyone nice & hot & at almost the same time. Very affordable & really good food, plus Bring Your Own Wine.
Other patrons were also celebrating a Birthday, & all the patrons would sing for the others too, it just added to the whole happy vibe.
Very affordable for what we ordered

Don't expect refined culinary expression of Italian cuisine. This is wholesome, simple, & traditional cooking. You know? Like your Mom & Aunt would serve. We had a couple of different pizzas, the salsiccia balsamico, a caesar's salad, & a few homestyle soups in minestrone & tortellini. Solid from start to finish. The restaurant has stood the test of time. It's not that spacious & tables are very small. I guess it's been there 40 years, give or take. Tarek was a great server. Bring your own wine.

Excellent italian restaurant, we had pizza but the osso buco looked amazing as well (planning to try it next time). Dont forget to bring your own bottle of wine as this restaurant is strictly bring your own wine!

Great bring your own wine Italian restaurant. The table d'hote menu had many great choices. The chicken in lemon sauce was one of the best dishes I've had eating out in a long time.
