Al Dente Ristorante

Made a reservation for 8PM was finally seated at 9PM. All the while watching "special people" seem to go around us. Once inside it is as loud as a rock concert. Food is just ok. Plenty of other places to go in N. End. I will never return here. Prices are reasonable though. I don't understand the attraction.

Found this place through menupages when visiting Boston. No recent reviews. We had a really great time. The food was excellent. The prices are reasonable. The service was attentive. Complete flexibility on how your food was prepared. I would go there again in a heartbeat. This is my first post to menupages because I want to see this restaurant survive the economy until my next trip to Boston!

Wow- recommended by a friend, and it was great. It is a bit small, but the food was outstanding! Our waitress was fabulous and friendly. Even the hostess went out of her way to come and talk with us- Great experience in the North End.

this is one of my favorite places in the north end. a bit off the beaten path, the food is very "home-style" and has been great everytime i've gone there. very affordable prices compaired to others in the area, and their brusetta is amazing. to respond to the previous review, you really need to go to this place, and other places in the north end for that matter, at the right time to avoid big crowds (before 7pm on weekdays, or late on a sunday night).

I went here with a group of friends for a good night out. The place was packed, the service was slow and the food was mediocre. It was fine but I probably would not go back.
