" I had a family gathering at Al Dente and it was a wonderful choice! The staff was incredibly accommodating to our large group, ensuring that we were all well taken care of. The Eggplant Parmesan was a highlight, but honestly everything was delicious. The cozy ambiance and great service made our celebration memorable. I highly recommend for group events. " (*Curated Review*)

" Al Dente is a hidden gem! The pasta dishes are made from scratch and you can taste the difference. The prices are reasonable for the quality of food you receive, and the BYOB policy is a fun bonus. I was particularly impressed with their homemade gnocchi and the clam sauce - simply divine! The atmosphere is cozy and perfect for a night out. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love Al Dente! Every dish has been a fantastic experience. The flavors are bold and authentic, and I can't get enough of their garlic bread! I recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for quality Italian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" The Mediterranean seafood platter was flavorful. However, I was left feeling they could have included more variety for the price point. Staff was attentive, but the wait time for the food was longer than anticipated. Overall, a pleasant evening but not quite perfect. " (*Curated Review*)
