What diners are saying
Diners rave about Dante's authentic wood-fired pizzas, particularly the "Bee Sting" with spicy salami and honey, which many consider a standout. Guests appreciate the high-quality ingredients and true Neapolitan style, though some note the char on the crust can be polarizing. The shared dining area offers an enjoyable, casual atmosphere, and while prices are higher than average, reviewers feel the premium toppings and delicious extras, like the chocolate chip cookies, make it worthwhile.
