    One of our very favorite places to dine. The food is always incredible, as is the service. They go beyond and above. You really can’t go wrong with any of the pastas or the entrées. It’s all just so good. The atmosphere is cozy and when the weather is nice the outdoor patio is spectacular. They also have a lot of different sizes of rooms for private parties. Great place - good prices. Wine list is very good and the house wine is nice as well. Highly recommend!

    We shared some of the appetizers. The bacon wrapped scallops were excellent. The lentil soup was fresh and delicious. Dover sole was a whole fish, moist, tender and well cooked with excellent flavor. Lamb chops were tender and well seasoned. Everything was excellent, including service. The service was very pleasant and professional. Love the small, intimate dining rooms at Dante.

    The restaurant has a charming atmosphere. The servers are friendly, the menu is so good that it is hard to choose what to order. We both settled on the bacon-wrapped scallops for appetizer and the pasta in wild boar ragú for the main course and we were not disappointed. The scallops were cooked exactly right, the bacon was crisp and the sauce was exceptional. The main course was delas well. This is not our first time at Dante’s and it won’t be our last.
