I've been going to Al Dente for years, but lately the cost & quality of the food has taken a turn for the worse. Some menu items like the risotto or tortellini in brodo are good & unchanged except for the price. The lasagna I had last night was a big disappointment & way overpriced at $31. They do not serve real parmesan cheese. Al Dente is still a popular local restaurant, But the prices don't reflect the quality of the food. & the servers are personable, but not sufficiently trained.
