If you want the charm of old school Italian-American that is no frills and feels like a cozy hole-in-the-wall, Al Dente is where it's at. The atmosphere is so intimate with its low lighting and they treat guests like family. The pasta definitely tastes house made. The highlight is definitely the quality of their Marinara sauce that is mellow, buttery and not astringent whatsoever. Is it the best of the North End? Taste wise, it's very traditional and classic. No pizzaz, just good 'ol fashioned warm hug from your nonna kind of Italian. Which, is not a bad thing! But if you want something new, fresh, and enticing, this isn't for you. This is more of comfort food in the most sincere of ways. Very homemade and bright. Delicious!

I like how simple this place is, I had the quattro formaggio and a sangria. Pretty good, a little salty but I was content with the quality of the home made pasta. I could maybe use a little more basil but this definitely satiated my craving. My waiter, Patrick was very helpful and kind.

Packed-in restaurant, very family-style and classic old North End style. Portions are huge and everyone has to order a dish so prepare for leftovers! Honestly one of the cheaper pasta places in the area which I appreciate, but found the flavors of the tomato sauce to be lacking. Pasta is great though, amazing texture, just needs more spice, overall solid place for dinner!

We choose this restaurant solely by walking around , exploring Boston, and we were not disappointed! They have 5 different home made pasta, the dish was good size, finished next day and still yummy. Anett our server had great recommendations and she was top notch! My daughter had the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and me the veal Marsala.

You MUST go to Al Dente for dinner! Start by saying hi to Michael at the door, and then you are required to order the pumpkin ravioli! We were blown away with the entire experience from start to finish, I can’t wait to go back!
