Reviews of Al Dente Enoteca Restaurant
"I have not one bad word to say about al dente. from the moment i stepped in, I was in awe! the restaurant itself is beautiful, cosy and warm with romantic round candlelit tables. the waitstaff were consistently friendly, accomodating and kind throughout the night. especially thankyou to Denis who ensured our night was joyous and memorable! the food took our experience to the next level, with some of the best pasta we've tried in melbourne being served. their signature cacio e pepe tortelloni is a must - pillowy soft clouds of luscious, rich cheese encased in the most perfect and fresh pasta, topped with freshly grated paramsen cheese. it was simply beautiful. we ordered a simple mixed salad and instead were served the grilled cos lettuce, we didnt mind this however when bringing it up with staff they insisted we keep it on the table at no charge, happy to see us enjoy it, while also bringing us the original salad ordered. so kind. desserts were an adventure! we loved the live shave of the choc truffle (a intriguing and pleasant flavour experience!) as well as the unique yet delicious, melt-in-the-mouth Torte Sabbiosa, which paired perfectly with the lemon curd base. overall we have the most wonderful time at al dente - felt truely welcomed and as though the staff didnt want us to leave! I cannot wait to return and try more of their thoughtful and unique menu. thankyou!"
"I had been following the chef since his lockdown days making and selling pasta out of his apartment, so this place had been on my list to try for a while. Have to say, seriously impressive. Sourdough, Burrata, Tortellini Cacio e Pepe, Tagliata and the Latte e Mele were seriously phenomenal. It's not often these days you go to a restaurant and are pleasantly surprised with the food. The only drawback was the Spaghetti w/ Moreton Bay Bugs and bisque, for some reason there was a bitter taste running through the dish which ruined it for me. Pasta texture though was great. Other than that, I'll be back. Service / Atmosphere / Food - all winners. This place is a great example of Italian food done well - non pretentious yet refined."
"One of the best restaurants I’ve been to in Melbourne! The owner/head chef makes sure each meal is prepared and presented with excellence! Within 5 mins of seating the chef came and introduced himself and his restaurant! He continued to make sure our meal was prepared with perfection! The wait stuff in particular Rory was amazing! I had such an amazing experience and couldn’t recommend this place enough!"
"It was a great dining experience but minus one star for not quite meeting my high expectations for their pasta! The pasta was cooked to perfection but the flavours weren’t the best. Their pasta were generally too salty and lacking flavour. I was expecting something more. I also wish their signature pasta had more seafood in it too. The entrees were amazing though including their tomato butter which was a special. Beef tartare was my favourite. Friendly staff, nice ambience and simple but clean interior."
"Absolutely amazing experience! My boyfriend surprised me with a lovely anniversary dinner so he visited the restaurant the week before and talked with the chef for a special request, they were really nice and helped him. i have to say it was perfect, the place is beautiful, the food OMG!! Another level, exquisite! the staff is friendly and gentle they checked every detail, the chef came out to explain almost every dish and make my dinner unique and very special… It was magnificent!!!!! Thank you guys!! "
