Good food & service. The new extra charges for whole wheat pasta & whole wheat pizza crust mean we visit less often. The Parmesan they offer with pasta dishes no longer tastes like real Parmesan from Italy. It has little flavor bowlView more

I used to go regularly but it had been several years since my last time, & last night was my last time. I ordered pasta with clams & I got a bowl of overcooked pasta swimming in cream with bits of things that maybe were clams.It wasn't even tasty. Oh, any the bread was stale. Serving bad food, & keeping it too cheap results in losing customers. P.S. Typically "pasta con vongole" does not have cream.View more

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!View more

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.View more

Ordered 3 pizzas on sunday when my brother was in town from vancouver. My mum, who has always ordered a mushroom pizza wanted the same thing with extra vegies but no cheese. She got a pizza with about 3 sliced mushrooms , 3 slices of tomato cut in half, 1 slice of red onion sprinkled over & a couple pieces of green pepper. Just to let you know, she ordered just a mushroom pizza a few weeks prior & it was covered with mushrooms. The second pizza that we ordered was a pizza with onion , garlic & green pepper with tomato. Actually for both of these pizzas we ordered extra vegies. My mum is vegetarian & my brother is vegan. My brother got a pizza with a few pieces of garlic, tons of green pepper & a few mushrooms. They both wanted pizzas loaded with vegies, but apparently they no longer had any other vegies than that. But if you look at their pizza menu, you can see that they have quite a few different vegies other than green pepper & onion. We were willing to pay the extra for a loaded vegie pizza. By the way , i ordered the number 18, clam pizza with garlic & white sauce. Got a garlic oil pizza with cheese & a couple of clams, was basically a garlic oil pizza. Called up the next day, all the owner could say is that i asked for mushrooms on a pizza & that is what i got, 3 slice mushrooms for a mushroom pizza. My sister & mother have both been living in this area, ndg, & have ordered from al dente for over the past 30 years. The owner told me when i called tonight that costs have gone up over the board. I have worked for the past 30 years in the food industry, kitchens, & now have slowed down to work on my own. I could not, not say anything about this place. We spent over 80 dollars, & were willing to pay that, but we basically got 3 pizzas, that if you were to put all 3 together would equal one 25 dollar pizza. P.s. When i was ordering on the phone, the person taking the order very rudely laughed at me because i was asking (& by the way willing to pay extra for) for a personalized pizza. I live in verdun, if i had a car & the free time before christmas i would go there tomorrow.

I never leave reviews. But in any life, DO NOT ORDER Salsiccia Al Balsamico. The 18$ appetizer that is, ONE sausage cut down the middle.
One.
The pizza & pasta is serviceable, & staff is great. Take my advice or live to regret it!View more

Always good service. I’ve had better pasta but still good food & decent priceView more

I ordered the pasta napolitana & it was pretty disappointing. Tastes like way too much garlic & onion, too chunky, & over-seasoned, to the point that the sauce was a dark brown instead of red how it should be. I'm sure some of their dishes are delicious but this isn't the one for me.View more

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.View more

Lots of pizza & pasta selection. Not much else, but good quality for the price. BYOBView more
