Al Dente Trattoria fait l'objet d'avis variés, de nombreux clients louant la qualité des plats savoureux comme l'agneau ou les pâtes spéciales, ainsi que l'accueil chaleureux du personnel. Bien que ce restaurant soit perçu par plusieurs habitués comme une destination de choix à l'ambiance conviviale idéale pour les célébrations, d'autres convives expriment des déceptions concernant la qualité de certaines pizzas et soulignent des lacunes occasionnelles dans le service ou un manque d'ustensiles lors des périodes d'affluence.
Rien n'est d'italien dans ce restaurant, le pizza est sec c'est la même pâte que chez pizza pizza , la lasagne est correcte quand même. Mais j'insiste que ce n'est pas italien. Le personnel était sympa.
It tastes awful.
Already exhausted & starving after a whole day at college, all day courses & exams & barely any time to eat, finally get a chance to go out for dinner, & this is what I end up with…
How come it's high in calories & still tastes like this…
Honestly, it takes a certain level of skill to make high-calorie food taste like this.
Forced myself to eat some of it so I wouldn't feel like I'd wasted my money.
We are regulars here, we love it. Good food, friendly staff & great service. Last night, I had the pasta from the special Valentine menu,Heart shaped pasta filled with rocotta & parmesan,light saffron cream sauce it was absolutely delicious 🫶
Valentines dinner was a Table Hôte disappointement….
Were looking forward to the published « on line « menu & went over but instead got 45$ per TH options. (No notice on line prior)
Barely any bread that was never replaced , Caesar salad with no dressing, sent it back & it came back (we rarely ever do this) with more salad & still very little dressing.
Pasta overcooked with seafood the same.
Ossobuco may have had a powder sauce mix… ??? not good.
A Peculiar taste … not sure about it
To be fair this summer on their terrace we had a very good seafood Rizzuto, Caesar Salad, pizza & carbonara pasta,
So will give it another go one day but at 167$ dollars for three ppl this was a Very very dissatisfying meal, & this stings now days.
The Young fellow working was a very nice kid & said new ownership is about 3 years old so our good summer visit hopefully was within this same timeframe as the current management from our recent Feb 2026 visit.
Will give them a second chance because it may have been a one off, but if ANYTHING comes sub par from bread to salad to 1st bite of main; we will have to step up & politely leave.
Money too tight now days so to go out & be dissatisfied like that.
Sorry Al Dente but you asked for an honest review.
Tarek & Shatoo (hope typing is good) welcomed us. The food was good, lobster pasta & osso buco. The atmosphere was calm & the music was well chosen classics. We will definitely come back.
J'ai juste testé la pizza blanche Florentina en livraison & elle était super sèche. Dommage, pas beaucoup de crème & fromage (qui devait être de la mozzarella) devenu un plastique sans goût. Quelques feuilles d'épinard sur le dessus pour faire joli. À 24$ c'est décevant. J'ai pris la photo avec un pouce en l'air avant d'avoir goûté.
Really not great tasting food. Super disappointing. I ordered the penne Montana with a Caesar salad & my partner ordered penne alla gigi. Let me begin by saying that both our pasta was overcooked. No sauce & it was dry & very bland in taste. The Caesar salad came with burnt croutons & little to no dressing for the salad.
Now I don't understand how you say'fresh pasta' & the pasta is clearly bought from a store & NOT fresh at all. You charge me 15.75$ for a Caesar & say that it comes with anchovies but all I got was a small packet of Caesar dressing that didn't even cover the salad whatsoever. & also, if you're going to advertise'anchovies' with your salad, I'd expect anchovies for a very basic Caesar salad with burnt croutons that came with a wheel of lemon. How do you expect me to squeeze a wheel of lemon ?? Very disappointing. I don't recommend this restaurant at all.
If I could give 10/5, I would give it. We just came back after enjoying a delightful meal. In fact I had the rack of lamb & can say without hesitation that
it is the best one in town. The atmosphere was cozy & the service friendly & welcoming.
Their food is simply amazing, with great hospitality by the owner & workers there. I never ate pasta so fast in my life. You won't regret trying this place out!!!
