Al Dente Pizza Pasta Grill - Brantford

The experience was decent. Nice waitress and atmosphere but many other things were pretty disappointing. Tables were sticky to the point where our glasses and plates stuck to the table. Also, most of the food we ordered was worse than pasta served any other restaurant. To be honest, I think I could make tastier pasta at home than this place and even somewhere like East side Mario’s would make better tasting pasta. We were even considering asking for a refund because it was not worth the money spent. Surprised so many people like this restaurant. Maybe it’s because of what we ordered.

Because of childcare I ordered take out for my anniversary, food was fantastic and they even accomidated an earlier pick up time for me, price is on point. THANK YOU!!

Al Dente's is a local gem. The service was fantastic. The food was even better. The menu is reasonably priced and lots of different food options. They have an excellent wine and cocktail selection. I left the restaurant stuffed but also wanting more of there delicious food. Best Ceasar salad in town! Looking forward to my next dining experience at Al Dente!

We’ve had a special anniversary dinner at the restaurant. The appetizer bread was raw and gummy. The seafood soup locking sea food, texture of wallpaper paste. Alfredo pasta soaked in sauce, taste only the black pepper. Thai chicken, sauce was very oily, cooked cubed chicken pieces in it, lacked of peanut or Parmesan cheese. Cheese burger oversized dry meatball on a Suggs bun and half cooked bacon with shriveled up boiled potatoes for a kid. ! Salmon over cooked, dry with raw vegetable. The service was very aged, missed some of the ordered items, drink were flat. Generally very slow in a not busy, half empty restaurant. The music was loud and torturing. The restaurant tables sticky, worn out, the menu’s also worn out. We will not bother to visit again it was more than disappointing experience.

Arrived early in the evening and spent the next few hours enjoying wonderful food and warm, personable service from the wait-staff. Would highly recommend and will certainly return.
