Very accommodating to my allergy. Not a separate gluten free menu but able to make most dishes gluten free. Very friendly and welcoming staff! Highly recommended!

Out of this world food. True Italian quinine. Blown away by the taste. Fantastic service.

This is one of my favorite Italian places ever! This place is always crowded, so reservations are a must! Such good, authentic Italian food. We tried the eggplant appetizer with ricotta, and it was so good. The handmade pasta is always amazing. I got the vodka sauce, and my boyfriend got the carbonara. The pasta is perfectly al dente, and the sauce was incredible! Service was good, and we even got a free limoncello shot at the end. Always a good time here!

Great food and service. Very accommodating. Can make any dish gluten free. Annette is an awesome waitress. What you would want a server to be. Can't wait to go back.

This is one of my only "must eats" when I come to Boston. The food is amazing!! My "regular" waitress, Angela is such a doll 👍 So friendly and fun to hang here.

Had the chicken eggplant parm. It was delicious. Food here is always delicious but I've notice that serving size is noticeably smaller than in the past.

Delicious food (wife had a penne with shrimp and broccoli, upgraded with a vodka sauce and I chose the linguine with clams). They tasted great and the portions were quite generous. We've tried a few places in Little Italy and this was definitely the best. The service was superb, they were able to accommodate our stroller that we couldn't fold because our 2 1/2 yr old son was initially asleep and the waitress even went out of her way to find OJ for him once he woke up.

So the food here was delicious! I got the pumpkin ravioli and it was absolutely to die for! The only reason I'm giving it four stars is because the service wasn't fantastic. When we got to the restaurant a woman blocked us from entering and had us wait outside while she talked to someone to I guess figure out if there was a table for us, but the place was basically empty so I don't know why that was necessary. We also asked for drink refills a couple of times before we finally were able to get a refill. None of this was like the end of the world and the food was good so I'd still recommend coming here.

Got lucky and a table without a reservation at 7pm. Noisy, busy, and true Italian. Great service (thanks Mary!) and complete menu. My linguine with fresh clams in a wine and garlic sauce was terrific!

Good Italian food for the North End experience. If you want to eat before 9:00 p.m. reservations are recommended if you don't want to wait a bit. After nine the crowd dies down. The dining area is small so seating can get a bit cramped. The tiny pour of limoncello that comes with the bill is a nice touch. I've never had a bad plate here. The wine list trends more towards the reds than white.

I ordered in with two colleagues, one of whom is gluten free. We saw the menu for Al Dente online and were sold! The owner/staff did an amazing job helping us out when the Seamless delivery service failed to deliver the order. They were efficient at helping us coordinate pickup, keeping our food warm, and getting us in and out quickly when Seamless hadn't picked our food up after two hours of saying it was on the way. When we finally got back to our hotel to eat, everything was still warm and delicious. Highly recommend the linguine alla vongole. Though I don't recommend ordering via Seamless, I absolutely recommend coming in for a visit. Thank you so much for helping us out and making us feel like family!

Questions & Answers

Government center is real close.

Theres no 'sit down bar', and based on their menu it seems they offer mostly wines.

It's a real small place idk if this is the best spot for large groups. I mean the staff is walking sideways between tables as it is while your chair is mashed against the guy behind you....

Nope. They even take AmEx!
