" Al Dente's has alright food but I expected more given the reputation. The chicken marsala was bland, and the gnocchi was rather doughy compared to what I am used to. The service was friendly, but it was a long wait. Maybe I will try it again, but I'm not in a rush. " (*Curated Review*)

" Al Dente's is a charming restaurant. The menu has a lot of choices, and while I liked my meal, I feel the prices are too high for what you get. My pasta was pretty ordinary and did not stand out to me. Perhaps I went in with high expectations, which led to my disappointment. The service was adequate, but I may not be in a rush to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was quite disappointing, unfortunately. The lasagna was overcooked, and it felt more like a sodium bomb than a hearty meal. I did inform the server, who was sympathetic but that didn’t change my meal quality. While I appreciate good service, the food is the highlight of an Italian joint, and this did not meet my expectations. Maybe I just hit them on a bad day. " (*Curated Review*)

" As an Italian food lover, I was excited to try Al Dente's. My husband and I ordered a hearty meal and enjoyed a bottle of red wine. The pasta was al dente, just as the name suggests, and the sauces were rich and flavorful. The ambiance was nice, although a bit noisy at peak hours. I loved the service as our server was very accommodating. Will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered takeout from Al Dente's for the first time ever. The pizza was superb—thick crust, generous toppings, really tasted authentic. I was pleasantly surprised by how timely my order was ready despite peak hours. A bit on the pricier side, but worth every penny. I’ll be back for my Italian fix! " (*Curated Review*)

" Al Dente's is a fantastic Italian restaurant! The ravioli was fresh, and the marinara sauce was some of the best I've tried. I loved the atmosphere – intimate and inviting—perfect for a date night! The prices were decent considering the quality of the food served. I’ll definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Al Dente's last week and was impressed by the friendly staff and diverse menu. I really enjoyed their shrimp scampi; the flavors were fresh and balanced. I sat outside, which was pleasant, although the noise from the street was a bit distracting. Overall, a great experience that I would recommend to anyone looking for a good Italian meal.
