Al Dente Enoteca

Warm and sophisticated interior with food and service to match! All dishes were interesting, tasted fantastic and were cohesive together no matter what you pick. The staff were lovely and very knowledgeable regarding the menu. Great place for a date night. Looking forward to coming back and trying more!

Absolutely worth revisiting! We returned to Al Dente after three months, and I was thrilled to see that most of the menu had changed. I really appreciate restaurants that update their menus regularly—it shows creativity and dedication to their craft. Here’s what we ordered this time: Entrées 🥖 Sourdough with cultured balsamic butter 🌟 The sourdough and butter were so irresistible that we ended up ordering a second serve. Absolutely a must-try! 🦪 Scallop with pangrattato and salsa verde Perfectly cooked and seasoned. 🐙 Octopus alla Siciliana with pomodoro, olives, and squid ink bagna cauda Tender and flavorful—cooked to perfection. Mains 🍝 Vongole Tagliatelle 🌟 Hands down, one of the best pastas we’ve had! The al dente texture was impeccable, with the seafood sauce clinging beautifully to every strand. 🦆 Victorian Dry Aged Duck Breast 🌟 An absolute must-try! Tender, perfectly cooked duck paired with tangy cranberry and plum sauces—a stunning combination. Generous portion too, making it great value. Sides 🥗 Mixed Leaf Salad The salad, dressed with aged balsamic vinegar, had a sophisticated flavor profile. Dessert 🍰 Tiramisu As a tiramisu lover, my partner found this a bit too sweet for his taste (based on personal preference), though the texture was great. Overall, Al Dente is a place where you really can’t go wrong with the food—it’s consistently excellent. Service was warm and attentive, which made the experience even better. A big bonus is their seasonal menu updates. It gives us a great reason to come back every few months to try something new! Highly recommended.

Excellent service, delicious food and wine. Would very highly recommend for first class Italian food in lovely atmosphere and very friendly and helpful staff.

We visited this restaurant on a weekday night in July. Right from when we arrived, we received beautiful hospitality. Our table wasn't quite ready, but we were seated and given a plate of crisped bread to nibble on. We really enjoyed the food and wine, in particular, the truffle rissotto and the green salad, but the service was the standout. Elena was just so charming, helpful, and hospitable. She really made our evening. Thank you Elena.
