Valentine's Day is not the best time to go out. But we went, and Al Dente did not disappoint. It was crowded but not overwhemed. Food was great, service was very good considering it was a very busy night. The staff here has been weel trained in making every guest feel welcomed and imortant.

Al Dente has great nouveau Italian fare at reasonable prices. In fact, our entrees were quite delicious (seafood and fish were done very well and tasted just great). The ambiance of the restaurant is modern and, while not over the top, appealing.
