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.

I have written several reviews of Dante and I end up repeating myself. Why? Because everything about this restaurant is exceptional. It never disappoints. Excellent cuisine. Gracious servers. Beautiful surroundings.

The prosciutto wrapped salmon was delicious! The crab tower appetizer is a must. My husband had the fish special which he loved. Giuseppe is a wonderful chef!

Charming old restaurant with delicious salads and Appetizers and very good service. The entree pasta special was rigatoni bolognese and we didn’t love that —sauce a bit runny and not the flavor we were hoping for but the linguini vongole was excellent. Decor needs updating and seating for 2 was cramped and back to back with chairs from other tables.
