4.9 (332 reviews)96 menu items · 13 categoriesUpdated July 1, 2026

Al Dente Ristorante can be seen from its name and is a serious Italian restaurant. The main pasta is pasta, and the name itself means "elastic teeth"-the kind that is cooked just right, not soft. A typical menu is a variety of classic pasta, Parmesan cheese, and ketchup bases, which are comfortable to go with a glass of red wine. It's suitable for when you want a decent Italian meal but don't want to be too formal. It's fine for a dinner with friends or on a date.
