Fantastic food, lovely service, a proper gem of a restaurant. It's a no frills kind of place, but you're made very welcome and you could easily think you are in Italy. The gnocchi with sausage was fantastic!

Excellent food, the garlic bread with tomato and cheese practically melted in your mouth. The lasagne was delicious, best I've tasted at a restaurant. Prices are reasonable, and the service was outstanding. I ended up taking some home as they are very large portions, so enjoyed it again the next day 😋

Delicious food, friendly staff, and excellent service. We went as a family and the kids had a great time. My 5-year-old son even said the young lady serving us (sorry, I forgot her name) was ‘so cute’ 😍 which made us all smile.

I've been meaning to try Dante's for ages, since I started following them on Facebook. I knew I wouldn't be disappointed! My friend and I shared a pollo penne and we asked if they'd make us a seafood pizza (and cheekily asked for garlic butter too) It was super delicious and the portions were very generous. I was eyeing up what the other diners were eating and they looked gorgeous too! Our server was extremely professional. Very efficient and friendly. Acknowledged us as soon as we walked in the door, despite serving a customer and managed to squeeze us in, even though it was Good Friday (early doors, around 5ish). She was attentive, without being pushy, checking if we wanted more drinks etc. When I finished my wine, she brought me a carat of water, without even asking! Yes, the venue could be more polished but it's cozy, very affordable, the food is A1 and the service is great. So what more could you ask for! Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
