"Wonderful, attentive service and top-quality food across the board. Oysters first — magnificent. The fish was excellent, the steak outstanding, the soup delightful, and the mushroom risotto cooked to perfection. We dined as a family of four, with our two daughters. The quality and balance of the dishes stood out — superb produce, very much in the vein of European ingredients and cooking. The interior is equally lovely. Booking can be a challenge — we were fortunate walk-ins. Thank you for keeping a table for the unplanned; it was much appreciated."

"I love this place! The cocktail menu is fabulous. I got a Negroni Bianco. So good. My group was eating at 10:30 PM so ate light and were impressed by the numerous options that wouldn’t weigh you down before bedtime. I had a delicious salad with arugula and smoked trout. My vegetarian daughter had a cauliflower dish along with some grilled pumpkin. Another had a burrata appetizer and one ordered the cheeseburger. That cheeseburger was more than she could consume. All of the cocktails were well balanced. One was enough. I’ll be back. Great vibe! Ram, our waiter, was terrific and the staff worked well as a team."

"Dante is one of those places that truly captures the magic of New York dining — stylish but relaxed, lively yet intimate. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted by the hum of good energy, the clink of glasses, and that unmistakable Italian warmth. The cocktails are perfection — balanced, creative, and beautifully presented. (Their Negroni variations are a must-try!) The food is equally impressive: simple, fresh ingredients elevated with care. I especially loved the burrata and pasta — every bite felt thoughtfully prepared. Service was attentive without being intrusive, and the team made the experience feel genuinely personal. Whether you’re stopping by for an afternoon spritz, a date night, or brunch with friends, Dante never disappoints. A true NYC classic that lives up to the hype — timeless, vibrant, and always worth a visit."

"Storied little pub in the West Village. Wonderfully designed interior. Rustic, inviting, and welcoming. Went by myself to try a martini during their martini hour. Alive enough to have fun but quiet enough to have a conversation with friends. I would have loved to have come by with friends!"
