“ This is by far the very best restaurant in Dallas and probably the best restaurant in Texas. The food here is always fresh and made on the spot. The atmosphere is laid back and relaxed, great for dates. Staff are always friendly and eager to help. I can't adequately describe how awesome this place is. I make it a point to go out of my way just to sneak a taste of their pizza, salads, and calzones!! If you're within 50 miles, this is a don't miss opportunity. ”
“ I'm not a big fan of this area, usually try to get in the train asap. This time I was really hungry and most places I usually visit were already closed. I decided to give a try for Dante's place. It was pleasant surprise. It's very simple but cozy. They have wide variety of foods to choose: pizzas, pastas, sandwiches.. I tried Stromboli and it was really good. I've got mine straight from the oven, and all the foods they make themselves. You can even watch pizza creation process.. Customer service is good, especially the guy who s baking pizzas. I really enjoyed my dinner here and would definitely recommend others to visit this place. ”
“ Goodness, words can't express how much this small little Italian Diner benefits our community! Upon walking in for first timers, you are subjected to believe that the establishment is "run down" or "poor" but that's only what the eyes FOOL you into believing. This restaurant brings the fundamentals of a welcoming, customer service, satisfactory-met, environment. The variety of different foods you can consume here is incredibe. I am a Vegan, and with my dietary restriction, I am only permitted to eat a handful of things WHEN I eat out, however, this place has NEVER had problem serving me, therefore NO ONE should ever have a problem getting served phenomenal food here. You always see the same small crew working their butt's off to meet the demands of their customers, it's breathtaking! I strongly recommend this place to anyone who is off/near West End Square! If you are around the area, you have NOT had good food until you've stopped by and shook hands with Dante himself. He (and his crew) is simply the best! ”
“ Great little restaurant. Super quick and great prices! Got two strombolis two salads and 2 drinks for 20 bucks. Also the staff were super friendly! Would definitely recommend! ”
“ I normally don't write reviews, but these guys deserve it. I've been here a couple of separate times. With each time that I visit this place, they always provide the same enthusiastic hospitality that they do with every guest. The food is always delicious and it a sense that you can make yourself at home here. To Italian food lovers, this is "must eat here" place in Dallas. ”
“ Was looking for some good Italian food in Dallas. Decided to try Dante's, and was not disappointed. The service is prompt and kind, the prices are agreeable, and the food is good and flavorful. They have a wide range of options in pasta and pizza. I highly recommend the Stromboli and the spaghetti and meatballs! Run with confidence my friends; this restaurant is a far cry from its namesake's inferno! ”
