I am always astounded as to how much “under-the-radar” Al Dente is. The food is truly very good, and Roberto Donna continues to amaze with his “off-menu” dishes. And the QPR can’t be beat... While it has a loyal neighborhood following, Al Dente doesn’t seem to get much hype in foodie circles. 

It is a bit tightly packed and rather noisy, but otherwise should be OK for children.

Went last Saturday to the Palisades location... full to the brim and a bit overwhelmed with reservations (ours was a 30-minute wait). As appetizers, delicious fried artichokes and some octopus that was unnecessarily breaded. Pastas were spaghetti cacio e pepe (OK, but nothing special) and fusilli with neapolitan ragu (very good). The stand-out was the grilled branzino that was delicious and perfectly grilled with some nice side veggies.

Overall, a good experience though perhaps a tiny bit pricey... 

Wonderful!!!

Sakai ROCKS!!!

I truly love the original series and am really glad that it is back!
