I’ve always been a big fan of Al Dente for pizza. Writing this review because I think it’s an undiscovered brunch gem. Steak and eggs (with potatos) a bargain at $17.95 And since they do pizza, really great bread and olive oil starter. Great outdoor seating options in good...Read More

Al Dente has the best pizza I've ever tried! In addition to the varied menu and wines. Yes, they charge an additional fee, but the price of the dishes is worth it and they also have a Happy Hour promotion. I recommend it!

Love their food and service! Authentic Italian food. Dishes with less common meats like wild boar, duck, and oxtail are on the menu. They are all very tasty and not gamey as I would have thought. Dine in indoors and outdoors, take out, and delivery...Read More

Great food and wine, with the waiter spending time to recommend food and wine based on our preferences - all the recommendations were great. Modern, clean look to the restaurant, with kitchen areas visible... my daughter loved watching pizza dough getting thrown in the air..
