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.

Whatever you order from the menu is delicious. The daily specials are very good. I usually order the fish dishes. My favorite is the Capri salad with salmon is very. For a change, I ordered today the grilled corvina that comes with arugula salad which was excellent.. My favorites desserts are the limoncello and cappuccino tartufo. The staff is very friendly and courteous.
