"It was our first time here . Food was amazing. Our waitress Phoebe was the sweetest and extremely helpful.. The manager Fabio also very nice. Zeppolis for dessert were so good. Yum!! We will be back soon!!"

"Great food! Shrimp cocktail was huge and delicious. Wagyu beef sliders were cooked perfectly; loved the Coccoli and bar pie (more like a margherita pizza). $86 for 4 apps and 2 beers- great quality and served quickly.. worth it in my opinion. Love what they have done with the place and I’m looking forward to seeing it with a bit more character- could definitely use some personality, but that will come with time I’m sure. Menu is enticing and I’m excited to try more! Glad to have this new addition to Clifton. Service was great. Aly, Laurie, and Lenny were all attentive and welcoming!"

"Dante's offers Clifton a new dining experience, geared mainly towards Italian food. The meatball appetizer was very good and came off as authentic Italian. The salmon and chicken Milanese main courses were also very good with creative sides. The main issue at this point, which may just be a case of "growing pains", since the restaurant just opened up two days ago, was the lack of a cocktail menu and even a wine list. Hopefully that is rectified the next time we visit. The space / atmosphere is clean and nice, but could use some extra decorations to warm the place up a bit. The service was excellent, 5 out of 5. Will definitely visit again in the near future."
