    food is good but lacked the wow factor . small quaint resturant similar to what you would find in europe. for the amount of tables the services was subpar, and the explanation of the food items was very limited. the drinks were very good and the bartender seemed to be the most knowledgeable of the entire staff. we spent around 300$ with tip and it with so many options in houston , probaly wouldnt go back for the price point this restuarant is at.

    Dente Restaurante presents an exquisite journey through authentic Italian cuisine! Each dish, from the first course to the main plate, is a delightful experience. The ambiance is beautiful, creating a sense of comfort and tranquility.

    The service was great. The food was not. The minestrone soup was the only thing we liked.
