" To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. Although the place looked inviting, the service was slow to non-existent. We felt overlooked during our visit. As for the food, I ordered the spaghetti alle vongole, which lacked any seasoning. My partner's dish was slightly better but still nothing spectacular. On a positive note, the ambiance was nice, but we left feeling dissatisfied. Not sure I’ll return, given the price point and quality of food. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is the best Italian restaurant I’ve visited in years! The moment we stepped through the door, we were greeted like family. The ambiance was intimate and cozy, the perfect setup for a romantic evening. I had the ravioli di ricotta; the sauce was divine—rich and made with fresh ingredients. The owner takes great pride in the food here, and it shows! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a real taste of Italy. I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! This restaurant blew my mind! I was skeptical at first, but the warm service and the stunning Italian decor completely won me over. I had the cacio e pepe, and it was the best I’ve ever tasted. The pasta was cooked al dente, and the cheese was perfectly melted. The owner even stopped by to chat with us, which made it feel so personal. This has become my new go-to for Italian in Houston! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dante delivered a mixed experience for me. The atmosphere was lovely—intimate with soft lighting perfect for date night. However, the service fell short. We were left waiting quite a while for our main courses, and while the food eventually arrived, the sauces were overly salty. It's a shame because it looked beautiful. I may return, but I’d have to keep my expectations in check. " (*Curated Review*)

" My dining experience at Dante's was unforgettable! The food was full of flavor, and the handmade pasta was a revelation. We shared a charcuterie board before our mains, and it was delightful—perfect for sharing. The staff was incredibly welcoming; the owner himself asked how our meal was and recommended the perfect wine for my dish. I can't express how much I appreciated the personal touch! Definitely make a reservation; this place is a gem in the city. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have tried Dante’s several times, and each experience is better than the last. The staff knows how to make guests feel special and taken care of. For dinner, I had the osso buco paired with a lovely red wine suggested by the owner, Piero—a truly wonderful recommendation! The dish was tender and flavorful, and the portion was generous. While it might seem a bit on the pricey side, the quality of the food and the entire experience make it worthwhile. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who appreciates authentic Italian fare!
